No matter how many other fragrances I try, I always come back to Bleu de Chanel Parfum.

[@daviebevan]

I started September last year with BdC, this after watching countless videos recommending the fragrance. Fast forward seven months to 31 March I now own seven Chanel Fragrances. I love Chanel, and I will always pay the premium price

Platinum Egoiste is my favourite, powerful notes restrained by coolness. Timeless and beautiful, it’s perfect for any occasion.

[@p9a9r21]

I've been wearing Egoiste Platinum since the 80s. I was a bit young for the fragrance but was in an industry where I had to somehow project a more mature persona. Chanel's reformulations of Egoiste Platinum have been surprisingly consistent. In fact, my most recent repurchase was in early March this year. I'm single semi retired and in my early 50s so Egoiste Platinum and I are like a very successful and happy married couple. I have some "platinum" in my hair to correspond to Egoiste Platinum's vibe. For compliments I noticed under 30 females tend to appreciate it but where it really performs is with women over 30. Men too have complimented on how clean sophisticated I smell. Two months ago I was attending a conference in Paris. The senior director of the firm was a very elegant French lady in her early 40s. During the luncheon break at a nearby restaurant the senior director announced she had decided to join the joint venture I was representing. I asked what had changed her reservations about partnering with a us. She said our proposal was excellent but the deciding factor was personal. Then she leaned in closer to me and said "You're wearing Chanel Egoiste yes?" When I nodded she then said How can I say no??l

These longer videos with back to back impressions and insights into a specific house or scent profile are amazing Aaron! Since you're so big on rose in perfumery I feel it would make a great watch to hear your thoughts about the different approaches towards rose houses/perfumers take ✨

[@jasonyoung9329]

Parfum is incredible! I hate that it gets so overshadowed but I’m glad because I can still wear that BDC DNA while standing out a bit

[@jimlittle5769]

Finally bought it yesterday after trying it a couple weekends ago. I tried to hold off cause I have the EDP, but finally broke down. It's amazing!

[@liolp808]

Why do you hate it getting overshadowed? It means that less people are wearing it, which makes it even more unique and better to those who know!

[@julianmorgan5994]

@@jimlittle5769 How do you find it in comparison? I went through a bottle of the edt and loved it, bought the edp but I’m a bit underwhelmed if I’m honest, it smells nice but doesn’t appear to have great performance on my skin. The note breakdown of the edt and Parfum looks more interesting to me so I’m tempted to pick-up the Parfum still, I have read comments saying it doesn’t smell much different to the edp and not to bother though?

[@jamiejack764]

These videos really help me with my anxiety problems ,please please do.more as I rewatch all your old videos

[@luisbalderrama8145]

Aaron, I just purchased a sample of the Bleu de Chanel Parfum, among some others you have highly rated, to try to understand the aromatic notes you're speaking of. My inner coffee nerd is very excited to do an aroma test. I also really appreciate how you break down the compounds and how they all play with each other. As an engineer, this is fascinating information. Beyond that, your passion and love for perfumery really comes through and it makes the videos so much more engaging. I love the video format and the informal chatting. Keep up the amazing work. Best, -Luis

[@jimlittle5769]

There are three Chanel I absolutely love: BDC Parfum (my favorite Chanel), Platinum Egoiste and Edition Blanche. I have those three along with BDC EDP and Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme which I also really enjoy.

[@BBrown-km5mi]

How's the performance on the edition blanche?

[@jimlittle5769]

@@BBrown-km5mi I'm pretty lucky with fragrances. Even ones notoriously deemed 'bad' performers' go at least get 6 hours on me. Edition Blanche gets me around 7-8, but for me that's more than enough cause it's one of the fragrances I almost exclusively use for evenings out.

Chanel is a master. I haven't found one I don't like yet. I would have put chanel platinum egoiste as well love it. Bleu parfum is my favorite out of the 3. Great video man

[@tonymalizia]

The first two Bleu perfumes are made by Jacques Polge and the last one, the Parfum is made by his son, Olivier Polge, who has a more modern approach.

[@mtedwards]

This is a great video. My first Chanel purchase was the original Allure Homme, way back in 1999. It was a powerful EDT back then. I have all 3 concentrations of BDC. The Parfum is a masterpiece, imo. It’s so beautifully blended. I tend to reach for this one when I’m smartly dressed. Allure Sport Aux Extreme has that edgy “come and get me” vibe to it. It’s a compliment magnet, in my experience.

[@Johnnathun]

When I tried the Bleu Parfum I was blown away at the intensity, the improved quality, performance and density of the original EDT. It was like a brand new fragrance! Great video, I’m so Impressed with your talent!

[@cheekster777]

Thank you Aaron.

BDC Parfum, "...I would wear the hell out of this one..." ~ Aaron took the words out my mouth.... Also add Platinum Égoïste!

[@aznswag6030]

some people dislike this channel - NOT ME - i think aaron is always spot on with his breakdowns - master class in session !

[@SWTmel]

I agree! I read some crazy comments about him on Reddit. He's one of the best reviewers on YT in my opinion. Very honest and appreciates/gives respect to fragrances he doesn't really like personally. Not to mention the education he gives. They're confused IMO.

[@aznswag6030]

@@SWTmel crazy people every where .. alotta ppl say Aaron just spews random notes , but the main ingredient accords are listed on the fragrance box usually 😂. even if one takes the time to read it - aaron still has the upper hand knowledge to break the raw material compositions down for us to understand it.. and that's why I appreciate Aaron's channel so much more than most fragrance channels 🤟

[@raulclaudiuionescu3700]

To me Bleu EDP is better than the Parfum,the Parfum is too dry and woody and it doesnt project. EDP opens up beautifully,juicy,rich. Also I like the regular Allure Homme Sport more,the eau Extreme has a forced artificial sweetness that I dont find enjoyable at all,it s probably my least favourite Chanel. What I will agree with u on is Edition Blanche smells absolutely amazing, the lemon,sandalwood and vanilla combo is perfect and unique,that is a 10/10 for me although the performance is lacking.

[@tomso8787]

I'd love to see you reviewing in one video the Acqua di Parma's Blue Mediterraneo line fragrances. Also picking the best from Tom Ford's private blend summer lines fragrances: (Mandarino di Amalfi, Neroli Portofino, Sole di Positano, Fleur de Portofino, Costa Azzurra, Azure Lime)

[@BungleTheGooner]

I own BdC EDP & Allure Homme Sport eau Extreme. I’ve owned BdC EDT and Parfum. The EDT is the most office-safe in my experience. I pay retail for Chanel so two in the collection at one time suffices; Edition Blanche is up next on the wishlist.

Pour Monsieur is an underrated masterpiece

[@AodhanBulger]

My two favorite Chanel fragrances are actually Coromandel and No. 22, but I love all Chanel's in all their ranges. By far my favorite designer. I love to wear Coco Noir!

[@moustachio334]

I've wanted to try Noir. Is masculine enough to be unisex.

[@joshc7291]

Love BDC Parfum! One of my favorites for cool weather/evening. Would love to see more house reviews like this for Dior, YSL, Viktor & Rolf, etc

[@spaztekwarrior]

BDC Parfum is in my top 5 fragrances. I have Eau Extreme, and Edition Blanche as well, and although I really like them as well, the BDC Parfum is just such a lovely scent for me. It makes for a great signature, all year scent.

[@EliteScentsOnly]

Same here. Was my favorite but doesn't last on my skin. I went and bought Bleu de Dua by dua brands and almost cried when I smelled it. It's like BDC Parfum but with like a 40% concentration. You literally can't tell the difference right from the spary to the dry down. It's identical but super potent. Trust me,buy one and you will come back to this post to thank me

[@spaztekwarrior]

@@EliteScentsOnly Lasts on me easily 8-9 hours. That’s plenty for me. :)

[@jackhayman4853]

Chanel Allure Eau Extreme lasts 7-8 hours on me im quite fortunate that it works on me!

[@AodhanBulger]

Lucky! What a nice sunny morning scent

[@jackhayman4853]

@AodhanBulger living in the UK helps because its very rarely above 30°C so most fragrances are okay year round.

[@BigDawgCAM]

You really are! If it lasted longer and projected more off me, I would probably never wear another fragrance

[@sebsebseb1905]

I love this point of view: if you want Chanel you know what to expect and you like it or not that kind of perfume

[@user-zt9qv4cs5o]

Absolutely agree with the choice. The two finalists are the best.

[@callumshaw840]

I personally love Bleu de Chanel Eau De Parfum! It was my first fragrance and I'm still in love. Unfortunately it was stolen from a house viewing whilst I was away and I got no compensation for it. I have been on the hunt to replace it but can't find any good deals on Facebook unfortunately.

[@mrrob4590]

I’m currently obsessed with Chanel boy. It’s a very traditional fougere it’s start of with a feminine feel but as it dries it becomes more woody and to me it moves to the more masculine side. Great worn in the morning with light colors and for formal day wear. Lovely stuff.

[@vincenthusvh]

Great stuff in the spring/summer🔥

[@Looseefer]

I have seen a lot of perfume enthusiasts channel but none of them posses the type of knowledge as you. The way you break it down blows my mind. Keep doing your stuff and hope you could do a list of female perfumes as well. Just love your work irregards of what the format whatsoever.

[@ashleylala4293]

Your mention of Blanche Devereaux from the Golden Girls made me so happy. That’s my favorite show and every time I see the world Blanche, I also think of Blanche Devereaux. 😂

[@rizl_ini]

My current signature scent is the BDC Parfum, love the sweeter aspect of it compared to EDP, it doesn't project as much but a fragrance I thoroughly enjoy the scent.

[@lefuny9244]

You should definitely do one for every house! Thatd be a cool series!😊

[@ciananmaccarthy3030]

Pour Monsieur EDP is sooo underrated

[@JT-rx1eo]

I have the Bleu de Chanel EDP and like it, but haven't tried the EDT or Parfum. I've been test wearing Chanel Boy from a decant and really like it. It's a Fougere wrapped in classic vintage Chanel DNA. So the Fougere backbone trends masculine, and the classic vintage Floral Aldehydic Chanel DNA has been associated feminine since 1921, so the overall effect is unisex.

[@brandont4415]

I love the Allure Sport but my favorite Chanel is from the Paris line with Edimbourg. The woody scent is just right for me

[@AlanPettus]

I trust your judgement. I will now buy the parfum Hopefully it's a little woodsy on the drydown.

[@SchoolOfScent]

Fantastic video Aaron! I agree about the Parfum of BDC being the best smelling although potentially not as versatile as the EDP!

[@user-rw1fd5qc9f]

I have the bleu edp. It's very nice but I'm going to have to try the parfum now. If you say it's punchier it has to be.

Nr. 1 chanel ever will be Egoiste for me, BDC edp/parfum are close second, allure homme sport extr, edt blanche and platinum egoiste are also great !

[@robertarmstrong6015]

The EDP is the best iteration for me. It falls right in the middle of the 3 for freshness and woodiness. It also has good projection as does the EDT. The best of both worlds. The parfum is the most sophisticated scent of the bunch for sure but definitely not as good with projection and somewhat less versatile with its darker and dense scent profile.

This video was a lot of fun and would enjoy seeing more like it. I used to own all 3 Bleu de Chanel fragrances but decided to sell a few fragrances because my shelves are completely full and now have bottles on my music equipment, night stand, etc! lol I ended up selling the eau de parfum. The eau de toilette gives me the airy freshness I love for warmer weather and/or daytime wear. The parfum like you said is more dense. It smells the most refined to my nose so I really enjoy wearing it during spring/summer nights and anytime in cooler weather.

[@nickvarga463]

Always enjoy your insight and takes on frags. BDC just doesnt do it for me, but CAHSEE on the other hand...now that juice is one of the finest designer frags out there. So pleasing and u need to smell it in the air 🔥

Bleu de Chanel Parfum is dark, intoxicating, sweet, complex perfection. Platinum Egoiste is a masterpiece as well - 10/10 office scent, so classic, fresh, nostalgic. I really did not like Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme - was overwhelmed by way too much baby powder (assuming that’s the white musk?). Preferred the regular Allure Homme Sport but didn’t really like that either
