Christian Audigier For Him by Christian Audigier

Audigier Blue by Caroline Sabas is undoubtedly the most mature and well-executed fragrance in the line. People often mistakenly confuse it with Ed Hardy because of the old-school tattoo theme on the bottle, which attracts a younger, rock-oriented, or subculture crowd. I picked it up in a pack at Notino, and it’s a soft, suede-like leather mixed with that typical commercial blue scent (think Bleu de Chanel or Sauvage), perfect for going out at night. At first glance, it smells like a drugstore classic like Druni or Primor: damn, I’ve heard this before. It’s balanced like a Just Cavalli Him with a fresh touch of Montblanc Legend, less powdery, and features fruity notes of blackberry and pear that keep it light. The rum is barely noticeable. Longevity is moderate, about 3-4 hours like the Cavalli, but watch out: the suede leather gets clogged above 27 degrees, though it holds up better in a club. It’s not for guys under 25 looking for something better; it smells generic, doesn’t last long, and the opening is brief and slightly alcoholic. However, it smells good, is versatile, doesn’t smell like an ex-boyfriend, and is insanely cheap. Some compare it to CK One Shock or Eros, but they’re very different: Eros smells like mint and CK like smoky amber. It’s worth it if you’re looking for versatile leather, a rocker style, without strong odors or niche prices. The best from the Audigier house, guys.

I bought it excited by the reviews, and although it has a strange scent, for the price, it’s not bad. The downside is moderate longevity and a very weak trail, almost everything stays on the skin. It opens with a delicious spiced blackberry liqueur. Then the leather and suede kick in, giving a sensation of fruity tobacco with cinnamon but bitter, an undeclared note I think comes from the mix of leather, suede, and moss. The dry down lasts about 5 hours, very close to the skin, with subtle herbal notes. I didn’t dislike it, but I don’t love it either. Recommended to test before buying.

I bought it, and honestly, it didn’t grab me; it has a bitter note I can’t quite identify (I think it’s tobacco) that really turned me off. Plus, it doesn’t have any projection for anyone—it just clings to the skin. I wouldn’t buy it again or recommend it to anyone.

I can’t believe the price; it’s so cheap and smells so rich. Ugh. If you don’t have it, blind buy it and add it to your collection.

I bought it and it didn’t quite hit the spot for me. It starts with a nice blackberry scent, but then you pick up a tobacco note. That might be perfect for someone looking for that profile, but not for me. Still, it’s worth the price—it has great sillage and lasted about 5 hours on me. If you like sweet scents with a hint of tobacco, this is ideal. The bottle is gorgeous, especially the cap, which looks like a royal crown and feels very luxurious.

I just received an order and this is among them. It’s incredible that there aren’t many reviews for this gem of a fragrance. Its scent is sweet but not overwhelming. In the first phase, it’s superb with those blackberries, rum, pears, and grapefruit mixed incredibly well. Its only flaw is that it doesn’t last more than 6 hours, but I recommend it for afternoon/night outings. My rating: 8/10.
