A Sauvage clone
This is a Sauvage clone. Specifically, it's more similar to Davidoff Cool Water Parfum, which is also a Sauvage clone. If you like the theme, it's pretty good, not as savage and brutal as the original. Let's note there's no ambroxan in the formulation.

The Most Sensual Souls
For starters, Deep Blue is on the market since September 2019, yet it seems almost unknown, there are no reviews of any kind. The bottle follows in the wake of its latest predecessors to which Police have become accustomed to us, in particular, Independent and Gentleman. The fund is slightly transparent and clashes with the blue night on top of the bottle, and I like that a lot. The optical effect, especially when you put it in perspective, it's awe-inspiring... reminds me of one of those cocktails made on several levels, according to the density of alcohol content, with Blue Curacao, vodka and Black Absinthe.

One might imagine Deep Blue as an aquatic scent similar to a deep and icy ocean, and on the other hand, it is an aromatic fougère like a fresh and spicy herb garden, and it seeks to be a young and bold fragrance. Deep Blue builds on a completely synthetic orcanox note, a new molecule with ambergris tones.

A burst of sour bergamot seasoned by an exhilarating pepper raises while opening on fresh minty and peppery accord. The elemi here results sharp, akin to pine needles, balmy, clean, and green, which blends well with the tart greenish and soapy rhubarb. Deep Blue begins as a remarkably cutting and crisp fragrance, unbashful, revealing its character right from the start. Overall, the head is quite light and little depth at first.

As the scent ultimately reaches the heart, I begin to pick out some aromatic notes of citrusy lavender, which kicks in from the very beginning, mild geranium as well as a little earthy patchouli, that the pyramid mentions as a green note. The latter provides some substance to the blend so far. However, it is still rather mild and gracefully caresses the lavender. There might be a few notes of vanilla in there, but they're exceedingly faint. Nevertheless, the lavender and pepper begin to develop a new accord, which is quite fresh to the palate.

The woodiness comes into play in the dry down. A potent note of sea-breeze ambergris emerges, here replaced by artificial orcanox (aka ambroxan) which adds a mild animalistic touch of musk and brings a silvery breeze and a mineral quality to the base. It further extends by an oily note of leather, presumably conceived with a touch of cistus labdanum. Lastly, a bit of vetiver comes in to extend the overall experience.

Overall, Deep Blue's composition is mild and light. Until the base sets in, it lacks much depth but cycles quite quickly before getting there. Therefore, the sillage and projection are quite mild and hard to pick out unless the fragrance has been over-applied or you're particularly close. If the former is the chosen method, then it may lack nuance. But, I was wearing it last evening for a happy hour out, and after nearly two hours I was a bit hot, so I took my jumper off. The girl sitting near me began by saying "how good this perfume is, what is it?" A spontaneous compliment getter I would say.
As for longevity, it is an enduring fragrance that will offer many hours of scent. All in all, Deep Blue's aromatic composition makes it a warm seasons blend, decisively. It is a fragrance that suits the more temperate months very well. Similarly, its mildness would struggle to be noticed in the cold air of the winter months, yet my preference goes from the beginning of Sprint throughout Fall. Additionally, it would make an ideal evening fragrance that is worn when the sun starts to set on a warm day. You could wear it casually, formally, even at the office, and it may be an excellent choice for dating. Finally, masculinity is undoubtedly present. However, Deep Blue is quite moderate in this regard. It's not overpowering nor too assertive. Anyone not looking to make a statement would be comfortable with this.

My two cents, if you're looking for a classic and thoroughly designer fragrance, on a budget, Deep Blue may be the right one for you. Reminiscent of other aromas of its breed such as Dior Sauvage, it's elegant and fresh.

A great scent with terrible longevity
About 2 or 3 years ago, I received Deep Blue as a Christmas or birthday gift. I was immediately taken with the scent. It could have even become my signature perfume. But the longevity and sillage are just so bad. After 1 to a maximum of 2 hours, you can't smell anything anymore. That's really a shame...

The top note starts off citrusy, green, and resinous with a bit of pepper. The heart note is green-earthy with patchouli but also lavender. The base is powdery, somewhat creamy, and woody. Additionally, there is a slightly balsamic vetiver note and a hint of leather.

Weak version of unformulated sauvage edt. Smells great though. Perfect for work. Glad to have in my collection of Sauvage clones.

Smells very similar to Dior Sauvage. But only lasts 2 hours.

The scent notes and the look of the bottle seem suspicious... I'll test it when I come across it somewhere.
