All I know is when a man walks by with this, its like an aphrodisiac!! Goodness gracious lawd above! This cologne says "I'm a confident, successful, effortlessly sexy man with impeccable style and class." And if your a nice guy on top of it all, ill marry you tonight! ;)
No but seriously. Perfect blend of patchouli, citrus, and ocean salt. But must be worn lightly, because it is VERY powerful.

Notes: bergamot, lemon, grapefruit; “deep blue sea” accord, peppermint, pink pepper, nutmeg, ginger, jasmine, cedar, vetiver, patchouli, labdanum and frankincense.

This fragrance starts with a citrus note on top of a well-defined peppermint note. Spices such as pepper and nutmeg warm and enrich the whole opening accord creating an aura of masculinity. On my skin the fragrance smells fresh but dry. The marine accord joins the other notes later, after roughly half an hour after application. As the fragrance progresses I smell vetiver and patchouli, as well as salty notes and woodsy notes. A hint of flowers lightens the earthy notes. Resins and balms add a welcome edge to the final stages of the development. Very masculine and classic throughout, this is a well-done fragrance but nothing outstanding. Lasts for six hours on my skin.

I bought Bleu de Chanel for my husband's 43rd birthday because he likes Chanel's Platinum Egoiste very much he's been through maybe 4 bottles of that. When I smelled Bleu I was immediately drawn to its lovely woodsy yet citrusy masculine fragrance. Bleu smells unbelievably sexy,masculine,sophisticated and can be worn all year round, excellent staying power like with all Chanel's perfumes.
Another excellent fragrance from Chanel, well worth the $80 bucks.

Smells like everything else, nothing original or different about it. Sorry, but I expected something far better from Chanel.

Finally a new Chanel fragrance for men that is not part of the Allure series. Bleu de Chanel is a sexy woody fragrance for men. Notes include labdanum, nutmeg, ginger, sandalwood, patchouli, mint, jasmine, grapefruit, citruses, vetiver, incense, cedar and pink pepper.

This is basically Chance, tweaked for men, or at least to my nose. It improves after a couple of hours as the vetiver becomes more prominent but getting there really isn't pleasant.

I dont understand why people dont like this fragrance or find it uninteresting or boring. I always found Polo Black, allure, bvl citrusy scents to be very captivating, if Chanel wants have their own similar creation with Bleu, more power to them!!! citrus aquatic scents are some of the most sexiest scents on a man. I love this fragrance, I seriously hate some of the new pansy fragrances that have come out in recent years, I cant believe any man actually want to smell like a large cardamon or bag of patchouli all day. This is a citrusy scent, and yes its safe, but as a men wearing this, this is what I want to smell a man wearing it. I cant wait for my hubby to start wearing it. I would jump him everyday.

generally, i don't buy men's perfumes for my own use but i actually bought this for myself...i find this fragrance to be wearable by both sexes. on me, the scent dried down to a faint powdery finish. although it smelled different on my dad ( i guess it depends on the chemistry of the skin?)

i would definitely buy this again.

Went with my son to buy a Fragrance for his 19th birthday, if he'd chosen purely by the display and packaging Bleu de Chanel would have been the clear winner and I have to say the initial blast was gorgeous, sadly it just didn't live up to to the promise after 30 mins on his arm,too sweet and strange!

I was waiting for a new Men's fragrance from Chanel as DH has been using Allure Homme Sport for ages. This is a great change without much deviation from what he will enjoy using.

The bottle cap is magnetized to "lock" into place thus without the usual fumbling to cap back the top. The blue color glass bottle is very pleasing to the eyes and makes me dream about ocean and aquatic notes.

The fragrance itself has a fresh and citrus opening with a hint of more sensual notes to reveal. Just like a sexy man who will reveal more to yoou as time passes by. The drydown starts to be a bit woody mainly due to the sandalwood and incense. Very manly scent.

Cant wait for DH to spray this on and react with the body chemistry to see what it will develope into!
