Went with the EDP when I first got into fragrances. Fell in love with it. One of the most versatile scents I have out of 200+.

[@Nghilifa]

Tried the EdP in the store the other day. Fell in love with it instantly. The Parfum is also great, but I seriously doubt I'd buy it, because it's more of a formal setting type frag for me, and I don't attend functions like that often. The EdP just smelt really great and I feel like it's going to be the most versatile of the three.

[@jchem]

All 3 are awesome, the most sophisticated one is the Parfum🔥🔥🔥

[@jarridsteel6229]

The Parfum is my personal favorite. I have tried all three and they're all great but the parfum is just has more depth and maturity.

[@renemoran7406]

I just purchase the blue de Chanel parfum today. I'm wondering if I should have went with the EDT Parfum.😮

[@burst_ch.]

Before my nose was trained, I didn't think any of them were anything special. Now I'm addicted to the parfum. I normally don't like powdery facets but it's blended so well into this that I can only be impressed.

[@r0guetwinz]

I feel that way about ralphs club parfum. Very powdery but at the moment it is in my top 3

[@HassCash187]

I have all three flankers of bleu de chanel. The EDT and EDP are my personal favorites and the parfum is awesome as well. The parfum is denser and more powerful but the EDP is more floral which i prefer as i love masculine floral type scents

[@rabansays]

How is the projection and how long does it last? Let’s say the EDT

[@HCodude777]

I bought the Parfum on accident and was in love ever since. Have the parfum and EDP and can definitely appreciate the EDP. But the parfum for me is my all time favorite scent even in my 30+ bottles of colognes.

[@avijitjha1614]

Absolutely. It smell gorgeous. Nothing quite like it in the market.

[@Mujeeb916]

The same happens to me, I just said the most concentrated one, so the store person gave me this...and I absolutely love it.

[@Kishanbruv]

Just bought the parfum by mistake instead of the edp let’s hope it’s the same for me 🤣

[@uberinfinitegaming]

Accidentally bought the EDT but it's alright, I wanted this for like over 5 years when I was in college. When I started working full time, I'm slowly collecting my dream collection

[@lesturner9849]

Just picked up EDP and man it's amazing. Why did I wait so long juice is great!

[@iFrankie.]

The EDP is essential. The Parfum is so elegant most likely the best blue drag in the designer realm.

[@michaelrandall6184]

BDC Parfum for the win. It just so deep, rich, & sophisticated.

[@America-ev4rk]

The way you explain in your videos is perfect.

[@Powerule23]

I bought the Parfum back when I really didn't know much about fragrances. I'm not upset with my purchase, although I don't wear it much. I find it very stuffy. I do appreciate the complexity of the scent. It's very strong and the dry down is very nice, although a little too peppery for my taste. I only wear this during formal events when I want a very tasteful scent that will endure for several hours. In retrospect, the EDP probably would have been a better personal choice.

[@amarok5048]

I recently finished my EDT but today my EDP arrived. By far the superior. It's awesome and I am in love with it.

[@ronnie5329]

I have all 3, and I find use for all 3. Bdc edt is stronger than ppl would think, and it is a banger in summer. The edp is more versatile though and if you just have one it is the one i understand why is being recommended

[@MrVoayer]

Very detailed and quite informative ! Valuable review of Bleu de Chanel line !

[@gerardbarnes153]

I have all 3 and my SOTD is BDC edt. I forgot how much I love this stuff. Just a very pleasant fragrance.

aww a new comer to the frag community. welcome and dont get addicted and spend thousands of dollars and hours on colognes/perfumes

[@fallicies]

@@kpdapoo1066 that’s the unfortunate inevitable

[@User_1170]

I started with BDC years ago and went down the rabbit hole. Had I known then what I know now, I would have just stuck with BDC. It would have saved me well over $1k, easily. You don't have to listen to me but if you do, you will save a tremendous amount of time and money. Get all three variations of BDC and your fragrance collection is complete. And, you can be confident that no matter which variation you happen to be wearing at any given moment, it's better than anything else anyone around you is wearing. Plain and simple. It is classy, timeless, and gets a lot of complements. You might find something comparable, but nothing replaces it. I paid about $47 for a 100 ml bottle of Dylan Blue and that's probably the closest challenger to it for a blue fragrance that gets a lot of complements...

[@matsudakodo]

​@@User_1170how about Bleu EDP + YSL Y Intense for different situations?

[@mckain1026]

The Parfum version is my favorite out of all my entire collection. This is the one above all for me.

[@Klacoslav]

Thank you Ash, this video dropped just in time. Tested EdP and Parfum two days ago. EdT is just too sharp and nowadays copied to death. I like that EdP still remains the freshness and shower gel vibe (in the best most flattering sence possible) of the EdT with refined edges, but man... The Parfum is something else. As you said... it is still BdC, but it is thick and it behaves differently on a skin. It is so smooth and lively through the whole time. You dont get this from a 30 dollar clone. And the gold text on the bottle. Such a small touch but in my opinion it just makes the bottle look so much classier and more expensive.

[@tbrown4080]

The Parfum is the best smelling to me by a little and highest quality but in my opinion it is not worth the markup in price over the EDP. The EDP is a little more versatile too. The EDT is a work sent only to me in these days now.

[@investigate711]

The parfum is the most tropical and smoldering. Reminds me of Hawaii. Pineapples and ocean volcanoes. Also the most sweet- the only BDC with tonka. It's definitely complex and polarizing. I prefer the EDP because of its mature simplicity for daytime wear.

[@WSF176]

This is a terrific topic. Thank you

[@rizl_ini]

As someone that have bought both EDP and PARFUM, scent wise I prefer parfum, it's creamier and sweeter while still having that fresh amber and a bit of incense. EDP is more citrusy, more incense and more fresh in general. Eventhough they both last quite long, EDP is expectedly has more sillage and projects more.

[@noname52768]

I don’t get why esp has more projection when parfum is a higher concentration of oil

[@rizl_ini]

@noname52768 it's because reduce amount of alcohol to evaporate from skin in parfum in certain fragrances.

[@Sagi____]

[@robertlauch9854]

[@marcg6226]

The edt was love at first sniff for me. Tried all 3 on skin, still my favorite. It's also perfect as I have sweeter fragrances for the colder weather and I don't tend to reach for the BdC. For me it works. As for pricing, I bought it at TheBay in Canada during one of these "purchase for 150$ and get a 50$ gift card", pretty much the only way to get a "sales" price (that 50$ went to a bottle of Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privee, which is my winter fragrance).

[@MrBoddy72]

I like the EDP, was one of my first purchases in my collection BUT the Parfum in the end is my favourite. Richer and smoother than the EDP.

[@NotTheRealPD]

Parfum smells more authentic and mature

[@investigate711]

parfum is still very youthful from the tonka drydown. on my skin its like a delicious second skin. I swear the parfum is best appreciated during those intimate moments

[@syedlifts23]

Eau de toilette: very nostalgic shower gel sweet scent, reminds me of 2014 when i smell this despite it coming out 2010. Now in 2023, it lasts 3-4 hours on skin. Terrible longevity due to the newer batches but lovely scent. 8/10 Eau de parfum: Takes the shower gel scent to another level and smells much classier, complex and formal, so its more versatile for me than the EDT. Has the same sweetness but more amber to it, uses aldehydes and coriander for more earthiness. Projects same as the eau de toilette and the value is a little more expensive but id say its worth it saving up for the eau de parfum than eau de toilette. I get 8 hours with this. 9/10 Parfum: this one has the DNA from other flankers but it is so much more earthy and less sweet. It doesn't project a lot but it is a long lasting. 8-9 hours longevity and half foot projection. Leaves only a scent trail. Its more mature and classier than eau de parfum but you can wear all seasons except summer. 8/10 All in all, I take the eau de parfum because its the most versatile and a great balance between longevity and projection. It is also a great balance in the sense that it doesnt smell completely different from the original EDT but it uses more earthy ingredients.

[@rockman1389]

I have both edt and edp and i like more the edt

[@premium3429]

Picked parfum and edp up on sale in europe (a famous french cosmetics retailer) for 30% off each. 150ml for 135 dollars each. Worth EVERY PENNY.

[@manfredvaegler9661]

A few years back when I first started collecting and was in my Blue phase, I was in the which Bleu dilemma. I eventually went Parfum. Refinement is how I’d describe it. Since then the collection has grown to 200 and 8 other Blues. So far the Parfum is my only Bleu but if I do get another it would probably be the edt just because it’s farther away from the Parfum 🇨🇦

[@Michael-Styles]

The EDP is by far the one I'd pick 9 out of 10 times

[@manny284]

Parfum is the best I don’t understand why the EDP gets so much hype. I purchased the EDP a few months ago and although it isn’t a bad scent the Parfum is more refined and smells much better. I ended up returning the EDP and will continue using the parfum.

[@ShahnawazKhan-ib3bq]

It's true ! Blue de chanel is a blind buy for any man. Personally, I like ' Edu de Perfum' ,the pefum version is slightly more refined and not much different.

For some reason, I have a difficult time literally smelling the BdC line. I'm not sure what in them makes me anosmic to them. I wish I could enjoy them as much as everyone else seems to, it's an extremely beloved line in the community.

[@_doitafraid_]

I had the same issue for years. I literally couldn't smell anything when I put them on paper or my skin. Came back after years and can finally smell them and definitely a huge fan of the Parfum.

[@JoeStrummer-b3g]

I have wore the EDT for a decade. Picked up the Parfum today. I like the complexity and depth. Have been thinning the herd down to my favorites. It sits next to Sauvage Elixer and a half dozen others. The parfum feels like a year round fragrance for any occasion. They really came out strong with this one, that will be versatile as a blue scent, but can also fit well in a more formal venue if desired. When I was shopping the scent I sprayed the EDP on one arm and the Parfum on the other. 4 hours later, the Parfum is still in a nice strong dry down while the EDP has faded considerably.

Having owned the Parfum and tried the EDP, with BDC for me, the EDT is the best one! 😅 i love the freshness and tanginess.

[@jimlittle5769]

I'm confused. You are asking for this exact video.

[@rodvarmo]

An eau de toilette has less essential oils and more alcohol volume. This makes that it smells stronger at first but the smell lasts less hours. You use it to cover smells for example the gym and need to reapply ever now and then. Eau de perfum has more essential oils and a little bit less alcohol. This makes the silage less powerfull but the perfume lasts longer. Perfum has the most essential oils. This makes the smell more personal (not huge silage) but this the one where the smell lasts more hours. So basically edt has more projection but you need to re apply. Edp is in the middle and perfum is more personal but lasts longer.

[@lullemans72]

i only have the EDT but i still love it. it's a lot stronger than i thought. even at the end of the work day, i've had coworkers at times tell me they could still smell it as they walked past me.

Hello. Say please how time ago you buy EDT? People write in comments new parties smells less time etc...

[@Victor-oc1ly]

@@weiderqwertoff2182Your mileage may very, but own a bottle of EDT and lasts reasonably well. It won't have a big projection the entire day (I don't think BDC really aims for that either), but it still catches people's noses when they approach you a bit closer even 6 hours after spraying.

Fell in love the whole range the 1st time I tested it a little over a year ago. But for some reason or another been pushing back. Mostly because of the price. The owner of one of the fragrance discouter stores told me that Chanel controls the retail price tightly. Not that much discount from the departmental stores. That was until my fragrance guy hooked me up with the parfum for less than half the price. Wife loves it too. It goes into the 'special occasions' rotation. 😊😊😊

I first had the EDT many years back and finished the bottle, then got a larger bottle of the EDP which I initially really liked but then I would smell it on so many other people at work, in fact it is the only fragrance I have ever owned (out of about 250 fragrances that I have owned) that I have smelt on the most number of people at work. This made me lose interest in it. I then bought the Parfum which projects a little less (than the EDP,) which is ideal for my work place, but lasts longer.
