Alfa Romeo Blue

6.3

Alfa Romeo · 2021

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Alfa Romeo Blue is a men's fragrance that carries a fresh, citrusy character with an aquatic lightness. It leans towards everyday wear: most voters pick daily and leisure settings, with business and sport following. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, though few votes back these ratings, so they are only a rough guide. It opens with aromatic and fougère notes, while fruity and floral notes make up the heart. Patchouli and dry woods sit in the base, and spicy and woody touches stay in the background beneath the freshness. A synthetic sheen runs through the overall impression. Perfumes with a close profile include Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) and La Rive His Passion.
