Nitro Blue by Dumont

Hello, I’m absolutely obsessed with this perfume; it’s simply incredible. Since I tried it, it smells like almond with a floral touch—it’s super charming and masculine. I’m guaranteed compliments because both men and women at work have commented on it. It smells delicious 😋

The only downside is they named it ‘Blue’ because it smells sweet and warm, but for the price, it’s amazing. It has that Brazilian rosewood note, which is becoming rare and is probably synthetic due to tree protection, but the quality is great; it reminded me of the acoustic guitar from my teenage years with a Brazilian rosewood top that used to smell absolutely delicious. You can buy it blindly for the price, quality, longevity, and performance; it’s super versatile for any occasion and season, though in summer it’s best for cool evenings. Just don’t pay more than $30 for it.

The packaging is misleading because it’s not a blue fragrance; rather, it leans toward sweet spice (cinnamon, praline, woods) with white florals (orange blossom). It has mixed performance: good longevity but poor projection (it radiates within a personal bubble), which I think makes it more usable and versatile than it appears (?). Given its notes, it doesn’t flood the room or bother others; I’ve even used it at the gym at night and it works very well.

Rich and delicious perfume, a perfect mix of freshness and sweetness. With this on, you won’t fail; it’s easy to wear in any occasion. It’s one of those perfumes for when you don’t know what to wear and don’t want to waste time choosing. I don’t understand how low the rating is here; every nose is different. I also don’t understand why it’s not talked about so much; actually, partly better that way so it doesn’t get massified and you don’t smell like everyone else.

I’m not an expert in perfumery, and it cost me 570 Mexican pesos. I bought it based on what people said about it, but on my skin, it smells metallic-sweet, like gummy candies with a praline touch. It lasts 4 to 5 hours with almost no projection after an hour and a half, even with 10 sprays. I’m neither disappointed nor thrilled.

Well, let’s start with the highlights: it’s a fragrance where the cinnamon note is present from start to finish. The praline along with the sweet notes gives it a chocolatey vibe; it smells good and fulfilling, although my nose doesn’t detect evolution, so I consider it linear. Its woody notes, cardamom, and Brazilian Rosewood are very subtle, just to add maturity and character without being just another sweet scent. I recommend it as a signature for cold and rainy climates, never for hot weather; if you use it in the heat (I did), you’ll feel suffocated and suffocate others. Its longevity is good, between 6 and 8 hours on skin, it lasts days on clothes; its projection is over 2 meters for the first 3 hours, then it becomes more personal without exceeding a meter. I recommend it if you want a sweet, fulfilling, and affordable perfume to avoid using your best collection pieces.

The blue bottle is a gamble! If you ask me, it would look much better in a light brown bottle, like melted caramel, because the scent goes totally that way. Sweet, caramelized, super pleasant, with some soft spices that round it out. To me, more than what many comment, it reminds me of a mix between Stronger With You and Liquid Brun. That’s my perception, of course, but I thought it important to share it in case someone else notices that vibe.

If you’re reading this, it’s so you buy it before it runs out or at least try it. I don’t know why people don’t talk about it so much, I simply loved it. That same day I tested several famous and expensive Arab perfumes, but without a doubt, this was the one that surprised me the most. It lasted until after a shower and the aroma captivated me. It has nothing of a blue fragrance despite its name. Not for summer! But in autumn, I see it as a 100% signature fragrance.

Pegasus in this same bottle: amazing, versatile, lasts 7-8 hours, sillage 7/10.

I’m not giving a pro review, just my experience. I picked it up for $17 on clearance. At first, it smells like Colgate Tandy toothpaste, half mint, fresh and sweet, very shocking at first. Once it dries down, everything changes: the mint disappears and a touch of edible chocolate comes out, I think it’s praline, blending with woods to become subtle and cozy. For $17, I have no regrets, even though the opening is a turn-off. Projects like all the Nitros. Lasts over 8 hours. I’m not sure what occasions it’s for, but it’s not bad for outdoor night outings, with a partner or friends. Indoors, I think it’s potent. Longevity: 9/10, Projection: 10/10, Scent: 7.5/10. Overall 8/10. The opening is bad, but I’m happy to tolerate it for $17.

Perfect for day and winter, smells delicious and refreshing at the same time. You can’t go wrong with it because it’s super easy to wear at any time. If you don’t know what to put on and don’t want to spend too much time choosing, this is the solution. I don’t understand why it has such a low rating here; every nose is different. I also don’t understand why people don’t talk about it more; actually, better that way so you don’t smell like everyone else.
