Perry Ellis Eau de Toilette For Men by Perry Ellis

To me, this is the budget version of Bleu de Chanel, though with distinct nuances. In the end, I stick with the original. There’s nothing more to say.

It’s a direct imitation of Bleu de Chanel. In my opinion, it’s only worth it if you get it at half the price of the original, because its projection, longevity, and sillage are barely 50% of what Chanel offers. I grabbed it at half price and was satisfied, but when I tried to repurchase and the price jumped to 65% of Bleu’s, I stopped buying it. If you’re looking for dupes, there are better and cheaper options out there.

I bought it because of its strong resemblance to Bleu de Chanel, my favorite fragrance. The difference is that I don’t feel like wearing it daily like I do with the Bleu (obviously due to the price). For me, the top notes are the best: that citrusy orange scent replaces the grapefruit in Chanel, giving it a similar but fresher vibe thanks to the mint. Then the bitter orange fades, and on my skin, the mint becomes more prominent with a tonka bean base. In the dry down, it smells like cilantro and other spices (like cloves) with mint; I’m not fully convinced by this ending—it smells very much like spicy mint, and the quality difference becomes noticeable. It’s not a bad fragrance; I wear it for formal occasions in clean environments and during summer, because it gets lost in winter. For those looking for something affordable and similar to Bleu, it’s a good option, but not a true substitute. Rating: Scent 10 at the top, 7 in the dry down; Projection 8 (I get compliments even when I can’t smell it myself); Longevity 6 (4-6 hours); Versatility 8; Value for Money 7. Overall: 7.

Perry Ellis Pour Homme, did someone say Bleu de Chanel? Ladies and gentlemen, this is Bleu with a mint kick, at least at the top. I can’t believe how good it smells; it’s delicious, fresh, crisp, and addictive. It’s strong at first and maybe a bit overwhelming with over-application or in enclosed spaces, but its evolution is great, with good longevity and sillage. Excellent for everyday wear at school or work and for casual situations. The price is a joke; I have more expensive perfumes that don’t last half as long and smell more generic than this. If you’re looking for something easy to wear and affordable, this is a solid choice.

It’s a soft, versatile men’s fragrance. I bought it by accident; I was looking for something fresher, but I loved the top notes and decided to pick it up. I wear it on cold days; I tend to soften my scents, so this comes out very subtle with a light sillage, which is perfect for me since I have a keen sense of smell. Ideal for autumn, winter, or nighttime wear without too much projection. It’s a beautiful, captivating, and elegant fragrance for informal use, targeting ages 25-50, though it feels a bit younger to me. Regarding the Bleu de Chanel similarity, yes, it resembles it, which is nice, since this is a much more affordable and accessible EDT. Right now it’s just a similarity, but definitely a good addition to my collection.

The best thing is its versatility; I find it ideal for both day and night. The notes that stand out most are mint, lavender, and orange. After a few hours, it becomes more citrusy and takes on a slight resemblance to Bleu de Chanel; in fact, it’s a good alternative to that brand. A very masculine scent but not old-fashioned, perfect for someone aged 25 to 35. Moderate longevity for me at 6 hours and moderate sillage without being unnoticed. Scent: 7/10, Versatility: 7/10, Sillage: 6/10, Longevity: 7/10.

I bought this fragrance because I liked its scent when I smelled it. While it’s not the best I’ve owned, it has a very pleasant aroma where mint and lavender take the lead. It’s very versatile, suitable for both day and night. As for the resemblance to Bleu de Chanel, that’s exactly what it is: just a resemblance. On my skin, it lasts 5 to 6 hours and has a moderate sillage.

Nice fragrance with a very spicy scent. It reminds me a lot of Bleu de Chanel, with moderate to heavy sillage at first and great longevity. It could be a great alternative to Chanel at an affordable price, at least here in Mexico.
