The review

Voyage Bleu scores 8.5 out of 10 on paper — top pick territory for anyone chasing Bleu de Chanel.

Armaf lists 7 of the 9 notes in Bleu de Chanel's pyramid — grapefruit, lemon, mint, ginger and nutmeg and more. What it does not list: jasmine and incense; and it adds bergamot, pink pepper and patchouli of its own.

It is sold as a parfum — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $24 per 100ml it costs 86% less than Bleu de Chanel — the 2nd cheapest of 19 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Armaf 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

Chanel Bleu de Chanel is grapefruit, lemon and mint at first, ginger, nutmeg and jasmine at its heart and incense, sandalwood and cedar at the end. Armaf set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

For the man of every occasion. Citrus and pink pepper dry down to incense, sandalwood and cedar — the safe bet that still impresses.
