What does Bleu & Or smell like?

Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer chosen least. Daily wear and the office lead the occasions.

The top opens cool with marine notes, watery fruits and mandarin orange. In the heart, blackcurrant bud, jasmine sambac and lotus add a soft floral layer. The base of tonka bean, patchouli and benzoin sweetens it and settles into a powdery, lightly woody finish. Eisenberg Tentation (Eau de Parfum) and Annayake Tomo Fresh have a close profile.
