SpicyWhat does Classic Blue (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Pineapple and grapefruit give it a fruity, bright start, with violet leaf adding a green edge. The heart of geranium, apple and clary sage turns floral and lightly sweet, and the base of cashmeran, moss and patchouli settles into a soft, earthy footing. Aquatic and spicy touches stay in the background.
Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it is worn mainly for leisure and daily use, with business and sport close behind. It reads masculine. David Beckham The Essence and Lattafa Malik Al Tayoor Concentrated have a close profile.
