The review
The Blue scores 6.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Bleu de Chanel.
Pendora Scents 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 $24 per 100ml it costs 86% less than Bleu de Chanel — the 5th cheapest of 19 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 Pendora Scents 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. Pendora Scents set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
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.
