The review

Worth a try. That is where Zenith Deep lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Bleu de Chanel.

French Avenue 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 $45 per 100ml it costs 74% less than Bleu de Chanel — the 13th cheapest of 22 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.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength French Avenue 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

What it is chasing: grapefruit, lemon and mint up top, ginger, nutmeg and jasmine in the middle, incense, sandalwood and cedar underneath — the shape of Chanel Bleu de Chanel.

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.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 28 twins of Chanel Bleu de Chanel we can price, Zenith Deep is number 13 on price per 100ml.
