What does L'Homme Cologne Bleue smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays light on the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and sport lead the occasions. It reads masculine and modern.
It opens with bergamot, grapefruit, mandarin orange and blood orange, with cardamom and black pepper adding a little spice. In the heart, marine notes, apple and lavender come forward, while geranium and thyme stay in the background. The base leaves a soft woodiness of sandalwood, patchouli and cedarwood. Porsche Design Palladium and Adidas Ice Dive (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
