What does Eau des Merveilles Bleue smell like?

Patchouli, juniper berry and mineral notes form its backbone. The fresh, citrus side dominates, with the aquatic feel adding coolness. Spicy and woody accords stay in the background and keep the whole thing dry and clean.

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. It was released as a women's fragrance, yet votes split closely between feminine and masculine character, so the gender line is blurry. Mugler A*Men Pure Shot / Pure Energy and Hugo Boss Hugo XY (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
