What does Bleu de Dua smell like?

Sicilian lemon, grapefruit and spearmint give it a bright, lively feel, while pink pepper, ginger and nutmeg add a spicy warmth. Cedarwood, vetiver and patchouli lay a woody base, softened by white musk. The overall impression is fresh and green, with a slightly synthetic edge.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters lean towards daily wear, sport and leisure, with business and evening close behind. Ahmed Al Maghribi Blue and Armaf Voyage Bleu (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
