Underrated
I would like to start , by pointing out that, this beauty is going to be discontinued ! (many sources confirmed it ) ....
So i'm personally thinking of grabbing another 100 ml bottle as long as it's available and still to be found !
I'll be honest with you , and would like to mention , that i've paid less than hald of the retail price for this perfume ! That's why i see it , as probably , one of the best "investment" when it comes to scents , that i've add to my collection this spring-summer period !
Lately , i got to the conclusion that a fragrance ain't enough of just smelling good , and makes you feel special , or send you an emotion, BUT also being WEARABLE ! And this is what happend with Eau de Narcisse Bleu ! In the last couple of weeks , since i've got it .... i'm wearing it on daily basis ! and this is quite unusual for me , as i'm not the biggest fan of rotating perfumes again , and again !
SO-> straight from the start , this gets a 10/10 in terms of wearability from me !
Now , about the scent itself .... this vibes with my minimalistic style in way ! It focuses on the note of Narcissus , which comes a bit opulent , heady , with some green nuances , although being a part of their "Les Colognes" Collection , it followes that Cologne DNA - fresh & citrusy ! It also has something powdery , that feels very warm and comfortable !
Very beautifully balanced by Mr.Ellena ! The man who can associate scents and colors , who has ( i would say ) a minimalistic view , but who's work behind a creation is unimaginable !
Performance ain't the best , but guess what .... it's only ment to be a COLOGNE ! On my skin , it comes and goes , ain't always there !

LOVE AND HATE Relationship
The first perfume that i've bought from SECTION D'OR Line , and definitely NOT the last !
I think to believe , that this line is aimed to attract people , that are looking for something else , different , artistic and unique ! Creativity to the maximum , and as already metioned from the brand "taking an idea to its very limits"....
I get a lot of Immortelle with this one , a hint of something sweet and syrupy , but at the same time ,also something bitter and resiness ! Indeed , there are some smoky facets ,that i get too , although , on my skin they feel quite light and transparent ! It ain't something dark and mysterious (of how i personally get with Serge Noire ) , but more of that love and hate relationship between Serge and his mother , that feels very nostalgic and sentimental , pleasent in kind of way , but painful in another !

Spring and Summer Ambery-floral Vanilla
Floral-ambery Vanilla , a bit green and musky !
Very wearable and pleasant overall , great for the Spring & Summer time !
Quite unisex , although , it might lean a lightly little bit on the feminine side !
So far , i would say ... my second favorite from the whole line !
Of course , my number one remains Musc Panache !
Top notes: Bergamot, galbanum
Heart notes: Jasmine absolute, Ylang-ylang
Base notes: Cedarwood, Vanilla Planifolia Absolute
Enjoy !

A representation of the past , but possibly ,also of the future, for the House of Guerlain !
For me this one of the most complex EDT scents , that i’ve ever put my nose on , when considering the price-range !
Woody , aromatic , warm & spicy fougere ! It has also an oriental touch and some floral aspects !
A lot is going on here , belive me !
It borrows an element / fragment, from many iconic fragrances from the brand , like for example
->Jicky or Shalimar , but somehow modernize that in a wonderful way , keeping that GUERLAIN DNA alive !
DON'T get me wrong ! It's still a classic in my eyes , but with a modern touch !
Some say -> "one of the last greatest Jean-Paul Guerlain fragrances , before the house was sold to LVMH (1994)" , although i personally feel there are also, other magnificent fragrance-releases ,that followed afterwards !
Definitely back-up bottle worthy for ME! ( talking about the Vintage EDT)

Heyam Jazeel - Love Collection -
HEYAM, is for me , a leathery kind of fragrance ; quite dense and somehow very addictive !
It is woody ; futures a nice mix of tobacco and nutmeg , quite a dry but lovely experience !
I don’t see it necessarily as a gourmand , but it definitely has some sweet undertones !
Heyam has also a powdery background , and a very interesting Gin note - to give it a sharp , although round touch !
Overall a 8/10 scent for me , worth exploring if you would like to try a different take on a leathery / tobacco perfume !
