Truly enjoyable to watch. Rare to see someone being honest. Keep up with good work!

[@robes08]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@danielseale9636]

Always appreciate the honesty. It's what makes you the best reviewer in the game

[@robes08]

Thank you so much!

[@giovannirotondo1097]

Now I am REALLY waiting for your take on the Parfum version. Your videos are as usual interesting to watch,good job!👌

[@robes08]

Thank you very much!

[@entadus]

I was laughing and on the edge of my seat for your live reaction!! amazing to see you take a quick 180. I still need to sample this one

[@robes08]

Please do! You know what? I'll eat my words on camera if need be.

[@atonyt3762]

I’m not a fan of Blue fragrances but BDC Parfum smells awesome and more than just a blue fragrance. The sandalwood accord is incredible. To me BDC Parfum is like a ‘Best Hits’ of Chanel rolled into one, the Bleu line, Allure line and even a bit of Platinum Egoiste and executed to perfection. Gotta try that one asap Marc and tell me if you also think that Olivier Polge outdid his father with the parfum haha!

[@robes08]

Can't wait to say who won the blue vs 😂

[@robertarmstrong6015]

Bleu De Chanel EDP is an excellent fragrance by any measure. Very high quality fragrance.

[@robes08]

Totally agree!

[@stx7389]

Parfum is even better

[@ghostbusters666]

I just found your channel through this review. It’s so refreshing to watch a review that feels genuine. I have been so disappointed by “blues” when everyone seems to love them. Although I will say the parfum version of bleu de chanel is one of my favorite fragrances. After one sample I bought a 150ml bottle. Can’t wait to hear your opinion on the parfum version.

[@jeffjamjeff6669]

The EDP is the only one of the trio I own as I felt it was the best to my nose . I don't wear it often but if I broke the bottle I would buy a new one. I truly appreciate your honesty when reviewing scents that you're expected to pan

[@robes08]

I like being surprised in a good way, I never go into a review trying to hate but I love being surprised like here.

[@fern6978]

Agreed... The EDP is the best concentration for BDC in my opinion. Perfect blend.

[@gazmcb8537]

The parfum is even better than the edp. I wanted to buy another bottle of Bleu but didn't know which one to go for. I sprayed all 3 on tester strips as I had received samples of the edp and parfum and had the last spays of my edt bottle left. The Parfum was so much smoother, deeper and more refreshing to sniff than the other 2, like all the rough edges had been taken away and a perfect version was created. I bought a 150ml parfum bottle😅

[@Alex-jg3yv]

Yes, I ran through a 50ml bottle for almost two years and just purchased direct from Chanel a 150ml. At work I get whiffs again and again. The Opening is unique and fresh, after a couple of hours it smells like french Perfume, and I think it doesn´t go more french with that part. On a teststrip, one or two days later, I thought this smells like a well educated young man with Blue Jeans, a black leather belt, black chukka boots and a Light Blue Shirt with Long sleeves. Luca Turin compared the EDP Version with something like bringing poor and rich together in one bottle. This is exactly what the Parfum-Version brings to me. And it also suprises me cause sometimes I smell something new. The EDP I had a sample of it and in comparison to the Parfum-Version it smells way too sharp to me. The EDT I never smelled.

[@robertarmstrong6015]

The EDP for me is the best for the types of occasions that one may wish to wear BDC. The Parfum...great as it is, ventures into more formal and evening areas that I prefer to use other fragrances....gourmands in particular. The EDP.....fits all occasions and does it with class and sophistication. That for me is what Bleu is really about. The Parfum is much less versatile....but yes...smells really good.

[@robes08]

I see so many different opinions on this matter. Interesting!

[@jackhicks8935]

Parfum ☝️

[@henryregansjr.1577]

I like the edp of bleu de chanel too its my favorite from this line too but the parfum is not bad too you should try that one too

[@robes08]

It'll be unboxed at some point.

[@cpbija]

The Parfum is the only one of the three I own and I think it's magnificent. It's just sooo smooth and creamy and makes you feel a million bux

[@robes08]

Can't wait

I am not a huge fan of the line either, but I really like Parfum, such a smooth and well blended fragrance.

[@robes08]

Can't wait to sniff it

[@dmytro619]

Accidentally, an experiment happened, and to my surprise, I rediscovered BDC Edp again. Yesterday, before bedtime, I sprayed Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza on one wrist. Then my attention turned to BDC Edp, and I sprayed it on the other wrist. It was a shock. In contrast, I felt how good BDC Edp is! It has always been like pop music on the radio for me, and suddenly, a shock. After the video, I only did it again, and the result was the same. Thank you for your video!

[@robes08]

Great story, thank you so much for sharing!

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I like this fragrance and I give it a 9 out of 10 in my opinion and have a blessed day

[@Sustainable_Me]

Parfum is the only I would consider buying. Thanks for the nice video!

[@robes08]

Thanks for watching!

[@Kenoji8]

Glad to see you being surprised, Marc. Personally, for both Dior and Chanel releases, I like the Parfums of each. With Sauvage, I am not crazy about the EDT or the EDP, but the Parfum is great to me. Same thing with the Bleu de Chanels. So as you go up the tier / concentration list, it seems to have a bit more of a refinement, presence, and character, I'd say. Great impressions, man! A tout a l'heure!

[@robes08]

Thanks for sharing so I know what I'm getting myself in. I also got sauvage edp recently to start going up that concentration line.

[@leozito2004]

It feels so nostalgic to watch all your new videos. I also agree that the parfum version is the best in the line if not the best Blue fragrance until today IMHO. Can't wait to see your take my friend.

The late Kevin Samuels said that Bleu De Chanel is the first and one of the only three fragrances a man need (the other fragrances being Tom Ford Gray Vetiver and Terre'D Hemes).

[@tattoofun2003]

Have you tried Sedley from Parfums de Marly ? It's a simplistic transparent "blue" scent but I think it is very good. I did not buy Bleu de Chanel EdP because I own a 2011 EdT batch that is really strong. But EdP of Bleu de Chanel is good, yes. Give Sedley a try, I think you will like it. The price is a bit too expensive but it's a Parfums de Marly.

[@robes08]

I hate PDM and blue scents, I may get my nose on it for the channel but that's about it.

[@jaypohl9651]

@@robes08 to me, it’s wonderful - very smooth and well balanced

[@Christophe_L]

My reactions were pretty close to yours here. I was immediately put off by the EDP (not having tried the EDT). It smelled too generic but almost like old-lady-generic. But decided to try it on anyways and it definitely is a scent that changes for the better in the first minutes. Clean, fresh, slightly woody, not imposing, not offensive, balanced and smart. It's like a generic masculine scent but done tastefully.

[@jamesbaird1342]

Agree to dis... I have a backup bottles of Savage edt. No other flanker and I bought my adult son Bleu edt 2 years ago for Christmas and he still has it.

[@robes08]

Thanks for sharing my friend.

[@levanabrzeni]

Just a wholesome video it is

[@robes08]

[@edwinp.]

Just for the sake of getting a BDC bottle I got the parfum version, smoother and richer than two previous ones. Only wore it occasionally for a short time and then it took a back seat. So just gave it away to my nephew recently.

[@robes08]

Sounds about right, even though well done I don't think these can go into the rotation at anytime for me.

[@SirVicc]

I agree that blue fragrances are pretty boring overall. But I still wanted one for the collection and something different, so decided on BdC. The EDP was always the most recommended, but I tested all three. The EDP stood out as the best for me for sure. Don't wear it often, but enjoy when I do.

[@robes08]

Thank you so much for sharing!

[@buckseyboy]

Can’t wait to see your reaction for the parfum😂 it’s my favourite, I really get that sweet subtle nice pineapple note that they added in the parfum it’s extremely smooth, to me the parfum smells like red wine mixed with pineapple in a really really good way, want the edp next , cant get along with the edt also and Iv tried so many times

[@robes08]

Pineapple? Really? Might be from the bergamot. Hmm look forward to sniffing it.

Interlude is def not a blue scent so it dosen't count. 😆

[@kerrypope5896]

You gave me goosebumps!!!!! LOL I did not see that coming at all. But for the 3rd time and please remember I said it. You will like the Parfum. Now I'm saying you will score it a 10 out of 10. I know your taste and the Parfum is much darker and richer. You ate your words on camera and that right there makes you the GOAT as I always said.

[@robes08]

haha , let's hope not on the 10 years.

[@Cornelle6319]

back on the channel...got my subscription this time. I doubted BDC for Ages and avoided it like the plague just because it was so hyped. I opted for Bleu Noir EDP for my go to Blue fragrance and I absolutely Loved(Love) it. Then I was gifted BDC EDP for Christmas. And my reaction was damn near identical to yours. I HATE that its so damn good. But I'm such a hater...I only wear it with a few sprays of Bleu Noir just cuz.

[@traffictraffic]

I actually really like the EDP. However, unfortunately on my skin, like a few others have said, I also get a urine smell in the mid.

[@robes08]

That ain't right.

[@sergemunitz1153]

Marc, I knew you’d come around 😂 EDP is the best version (I don’t think Parfum can top that).

[@robes08]

We will see. This one had the element of surprise, I was expecting trash.

[@Roy_Godiksen]

Will we get the BDC Parfum unboxing video in 2024? Its more complex, interesting, and smooth. We actually got a new mens fragrance by Chanel in the disappointing "Superlagera" in 2024, but that's already forgotten by 99.9% of the fragrance community.

[@robes08]

IDK yet, it's there to be unboxed but I'm trying my best to throw as much content online this year. Hopefully it will.

[@Roy_Godiksen]

@robes08 Well, if you make it or not I'm truly enjoying all the videos. Even if it's not BDC Parfum😊❤️❤️👏👏

[@jamesnash7262]

…this was Great ! i only have Parfum (had an official sample first) and have never smelt the Edt nor Edp…like the Parfum a lot…all the goodness you found in the Edp but without, as i understand, an inscence note…very schmoove, refined, close to skin, clean and fresh with body…

[@robes08]

Oh wow! Looks forward to sniffing it

[@miroslavdjukic3884]

Think you are on to something with this description I'd add it's almost like wearing uniform :) Like nice uniform but not something that is exciting in any way, yeah we want something like Egoiste for sure but can we even dare to hope for it? :)

[@robes08]

I hope Chanel can return to some sort of daring release but the chances of that happening are very slim.

[@beel7567]

i agree with the review. I liked EDP much better than the EDT. EDT version is over-rated. EDT version is grapfruit that's gone off. EDP bit sweeter and much smoother.

[@Abdal_Khan10]

also the parfum is the best out of the 3 here

[@robes08]

That's what they say in my comments section

[@stephanthienel]

It's the sandalwood accord that makes this one.

[@robes08]

I can see that

[@angelcuev6762]

I got the edp as a gift, and it's ok, but i have outgrown this realm of fragrances. Its my go to sleep fragrance or spring/summer evenings is cool

[@robes08]

Yea I can see that. Thanks for coming around anyway and commenting.

[@michaelandre9810]

Funny enough I actually went with the Parfum and EDT. The EDP to me sadly didn’t perform and just smell too similar to the EDT

[@robes08]

Interesting take.

[@mohsinchoudhury85]

yeah, Im not a fan of EDT. I had a 50ml, blind brought and absolutely rinsed though it. finished it in a few days and forgot about it. but I got a sample of the EDP and thought, that's what BDC should have been. I find it more juicy and has the Chanel signature creaminess. not tried the Parfum yet though. but still, Pour Monsieur all the way for me when it comes to Chanel. platinum I love too but not as much as Pour Monsieur. i just wish they gave us a Parfum version. 😩

[@robes08]

Yea the edp is cleaned up but it's far from one of the best from chanel. I do need to get a bottle of pour monsieur.

This one is actually a pretty decent. I know that you are not a fan of "blue" scents but you should enjoy both this and parfum versions. However, I'd rather see Chanel releasing something completely new instead of going into another Bleu variation.

[@robes08]

I agree on that, I hope they do.

[@THE_Newt]

BDC EDP is a gateway drug, something above average to beginner level noses that has a big brand name attached to it. For those used to Azzaro blues and then suddenly bam…BDC EDP shows you a different level. The key is to branch out from here…most don’t.

[@robes08]

Great comment, and I totally agree.

[@western-oud1898]

Well after that I’m feeling safe to say you’re really going to like the parfum..

[@robes08]

[@DIYWellcraft196]

I love this by Bleu de Chanel EDP , it's more mature for older men, if you like to smell like a teenager this is not for you, I paid retail and I'm happy w/ my purchase.... Not only that, it's walking off the shelf and was on backorder when I went to purchase it intitially, I got the big boy bottle as you put it :) , so I can't be the only one who loves it..... Bro, I would have that nose of yours checked out..... I think you missed the mark on this one.... Last but not least, women love it on men's skin, more than men, I had a woman that I didn't even know move in close in the check out line just so she could get closer then she ask me what was I wearing..... ok, I listened to your whole spill, and it seems like you were coming around, I take back what I said about your nose ok :)

[@viggenone]

One word: meh 🤷‍♂ I remember smelling this and the perfume when they were released, I wasn't as obsessed with perfumes as I am now, I even didn't know about niche fragrances and I thought meh 😆even my girlfriend at that time thought the same, she loved and used my Terre D'Hermes and Fahrenheit... once you smell a very creative complex niche or indie fragrance, and it doesn't have to be super expensive just creative, you never go back to the designers, unless it's a Gucci Guilty Absolut or TF Noir Anthracite, then we're talking. Thanks for the Unboxing Marc!!!

[@robes08]

Totally agree. Once your nose matures, it's over for these types of scents.

[@K_Reezee75]

Parfum hands down is superior than the 1st two. I didnt care for either and they felt watered down for that price.

[@robes08]

Thank you so much for sharing.

[@oceansoflorewi]

Love the opening of edp. But that dank smoky base is just nasty after awhile. Im so sick of these nasty smoky scratchy bases on all these modern scents.

[@robes08]

the base will be discussed during the Test Drive take on this one. I do agree with you about bases but that has always been in the designer game. Just a top note to sell.

[@Smoke_C]

Great review. This will never be for me. I prefer Sauvage Parfum. The blue aspect is a community misnomer. The inspiration for the “bleu” had nothing to do with aquatic. It came from the fantasy of smelling the aroma of the forest as you float above the tree line on a clear skies day. The blue thus referring to the sky not to water.

[@cayetano6547]

I had a 2ml sample of the EDP..thought it was most boring thing ever..Don't understand the hype especially at that price point. It literally sat there and evaporated 😂😂

[@robes08]

😆 🤣

[@jso-pw1vy]

In the time since I've started watching you over the past year, I've gotten the impression that you really do not like "blue fragrances." While it may be easy to be critical of the line, Chanel is credited with leading the "blue fragrance" genre (you will know better than me which fragrances, if any, actually came first but were not given the credit). I was expecting you to hate Bleu de Chanel EDP and was surprised by your reaction. I have the Parfum and find it to be a versatile workhorse. It can be worn dressed up, dressed down, for work, formal occasions, etc. It may not be as interesting as Le Lion or Sycomore, it does have its place. I just hope they don't follow the Elixir trend when they come out with a new men's fragrance and go off in a different direction.

[@robes08]

I don't see chanel as one to take chances. I would assume a safe elixir coming out with a cool packaging.

[@jso-pw1vy]

​@@robes08 Quite probable. The recent additions to the Chance line showed them playing it safe. But, didn't they push things a little bit when they came out with Le Lion?

[@cowboycrunchies]

You’re gonna need a bigger bottle!

[@robes08]

I think 50ml is just enough tbh.

[@carlwallace1129]

Chanel is so basic 🤧 i just took my edp back to Dillard's yesterday. It smells like AXE PHOENIX or Suave ocean mens shower gel. Very standard and reserved.

[@robes08]

Bleu isn't great by any means, Chanel does have some great scents tho.

[@simpa256]

I dont agree with you on a lot of things but... I dislike every Chanel frag, especially BdC. I recently got 2x150ml of Parfum... why? Because it has BdC dna but its polished so much, like a niche BdC, if there can be such a thing. I hate edt and edp I cant stand after 30 mins. Parfum is dark, inky, blue, smooth and lacks everything I disliked in both edt and edp. I really really want you to do Parfum asap because of this and its the only Chanel I will own. Sauvages are the same. Only Parfum and Elixir are worth. Edt and edp are for shit. Dylan Blue is the same, but my wife loves it so I have it. Smell the Parfum. You might like it same as me.

[@robes08]

I find the grapefruit in those to be so bad it's almost amazing how bad they did it. I understand grapefruits have a sulfuric quality to them but that's all I smell in Bleu. The Parfum is much better in that regard and my favorite of the line but that's not saying much.

[@Jon867]

I totally agree - I've owned this one and the sharp grapefruit opening is grating. Once you get past that, the scent is just generic modern man's designer cologne, with a slightly mature edge. Nice presentation though.

Sauvage Elixir is better than Bleu De Chanel EDP and probably the best designer release with this type of DNA. Substantially better. Still, it's exorbitantly expensive. Why buy a blue scent for that money when you could get hundreds of other far superior things.

Idk 🤷‍♂️ I'd never buy a blue scent if I wasn't a reviewer or collector.

[@jusskitten9773]

I also passed on the Bleu for a decade because I just didn’t like the Edt. Till my nephew bought me a bottle of the EDP and I was like you pleasantly surprised at its smoothness. I HATE Sauvage in all its manifestations. I sold that bottle and ate the loss. The Bleu EDP I don’t really reach for, it’s smooth, but not smooth enough to keep me going with it. I have Allure Extreme and that’s a misnomer for sure. So I’m not into Chanel. But I’ll slowly burn through these bottles here and there every year.
