The review
On paper, Bleau is a reasonable bet if you want Bleu de Chanel for less.
ALT Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Bleu de Chanel's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $65 per 100ml it costs 62% less than Bleu de Chanel — the 16th cheapest of 19 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength ALT Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on grapefruit, lemon and mint, turns to ginger, nutmeg and jasmine, and settles into incense, sandalwood and cedar. That is the brief Bleau is working from.
Top
- grapefruit
- lemon
- mint
Heart
- ginger
- nutmeg
- jasmine
Base
- incense
- sandalwood
- cedar
For the man of every occasion. Citrus and pink pepper dry down to incense, sandalwood and cedar — the safe bet that still impresses.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 25 twins of Chanel Bleu de Chanel we can price, Bleau is number 16 on price per 100ml.
