I dont know what some people were expecting from a designer fragrance like this, but for me this is more than enough. yes Parfum smells a bit smoother better suited for mature people but not gonna get you that much comliments. I'm reminded of Versace Dylan Blue, which I was not a fan of because I perceived it as being too pungent + bold, but this is a much less aggressive take on that scent profile to me.

It fails to make an impression on me, unless the impression is "I'm harmless, inoffensive, safe and feeble. That, and also the fact that it smells like something being transported Star Trek style from the 90s. Even today most fashion houses try to compete with Chanel 's Bleu succes (Dior Sauvage , YSL Y , Versace Dylan Blue) but Bleu de Chanel remains the best for me. it's already a skin scent about 1 hour after two sprays on the same spot, which I don't think should be the case.Only reviews that feature the label "Verified Review" have been checked to ensure that the author actually used or purchased the product. BDC Parfum has a beautiful zesty lemon that reminds me of EDP, and has more depth, the edges are more rounded.

Had this fragrance since it came out, and sadly on the last bottle, I found the fragrance to be very weak and hardly noticeable.

Performance is lacking for a parfum although I find this to be true about all my other men’s Chanel fragrances including Allure edt and Platinum Egoiste. I had the sprayer twisted around and didn't notice it; I accidentally sprayed a little bit of this glory potion on the end of my index finger; this stuff proceeded to survive a hand-washing and I was still able to smell it after going to bed and waking up the next morning.

You get hit with the ambery-citrus in the opening and it dries down into a pleasant ambery-woodiness after a couple hours.It's a work of art and smells so heavenly I want to wear it all the time even when I have no where to go. A sophisticated blend of woody ambers, based around what smells like Amberxtreme aka Cashmeran velvet (this is just speculation) hedione, iso e, and possibly cedramber which create a potent masculine ambery woodiness in the base which is balanced out by the powdery ionones to create this kind of stable fresh woody amber feeling. Because it is so potent, a bottle of this will easily last twice as long as a bottle of EDP, as I will be able to adorn myself in its beautiful, classy scent with half the sprays. In my opinion, maybe it's the fact that I've put my nose on quiet a bit of fragrances out there and sort of found my liking, which to be honest isn't very particular, but in this case it's hard to highlight BDC DNA for some reason. It’s the perfect balance of everything I want from a fragrance, perfectly fresh, sweet, woody and rich.

I detect a bit of a spicy kick too in the opening that reminds me very much of Versace Eros Flame, albeit much more muted by comparison, and it fades pretty quick. People who wear the edt or edp will get more compliments thanks to that characteristic bright and sharp grapefruit incense mint combo. Doesnt matter because you can wear edp and noone will know the difference except that the edp projects better and lasts just as long pretty much. The best way I can describe the parfum is, out of all the blue/bleu fragrances this is the Godfather.

You can begin to hate when I say this scent is completely different from the other 2 fragrances in the line. The aromatic-woody notes of BLEU DE CHANEL find expression in a full range of shaving and body products. The smooth operator of the trio, some describe it as the grown up flanker, it's my favorite of the bunch. Every time I first spray this I get this fantasy that I’m wearing a classic black Ralph Lauren tuxedo with a pair of Ferragamo’s. Works all year day or night but definitely leans more formal than casual and I think is better suited to cool/mild weather.
