The review

Worth a try. That is where Blue Homme lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Acqua di Gio.

Armaf sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Acqua di Gio's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $40 per 100ml it costs 70% less than Acqua di Gio — the 7th cheapest of 15 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
