BLEU, NOT BLUE, HERES ANOTHER WAY OF SPELLING IT SO YOU CAN PRONOUNCE IT CORRECTLY.....BLAY, BLAE, NOT BLUE, BLEU IS THE FRENCH SPELLING OF BLUE

[@Johnny-nd4lu]

Damm, Carlos. I really miss him man. His reviews were honestly the best. He was down to earth, honest, genuine, and had a great disposition. Amazing online presence.

[@nathanmindblog]

This is how I sprayed this today as I bought it yesterday. 1 spritz behind each ears. 2 spritz both sides of neck. 1 behind neck. 1 on chest. This was 5am this morning and I commute publicly. Train, and bus. It is 2:15pm Chicago time. My co-workers still smell me. Across my desk, hallway, everywhere. Great compliments today! One more thing, I went to lunch with old co-workers at this other building. Receptionist said I smelled good and was like 4 feet away. And my old co-workers loved the smell as we chatted as a group. BEST CHANEL EVER! Beats the 2 previous versions. I love the oil based parfum as it does not sting or irritate my skin.

[@dondiablo5583]

And then your bottle is empty😂especially the with sprayer of BCL

[@ajshaw2169]

This parfum is the best

[@anthonyj810]

It's like 99% the same as the EDP version tho, not just smell but also performance seems to be the same. There might be a very tiny difference but I can't really tell.

[@markart157]

Anthony J difference is huge, edp smells totally different, I love the edt

[@scottyB316]

@@anthonyj810 I disagree....edp smells sweeter and more incensey.....Parfum to me is the best. Love the woods amplified and less sweetness

[@firebug1892]

Anthony J wrong!

[@apivaping5476]

Girls like the Parfum one, bc there is more powdery into it, so girls wear this men frag, for men I like the EDT version bc its more rough.

[@vijaykodialbail3998]

Love the scent for sure! Great opening! Can smell the sandal wood as a base note after 30 minutes. Sadly after 1 hour, I struggle smelling the scent & have to dig my nostrils into my skin. Though it’s a great scent it lacks performance & projection.

[@diegobelaunde4965]

Rest In Peace Carlos😔

[@dannypark6771]

I get so many compliments from the ladies wearing this. Love this so much! Such a masterpiece 10/10.

[@dannypark6771]

@Christopher Moore yes but for summer i would wear edp or edt because it might be a little cloying

[@dannypark6771]

The incense note in the EDT and EDP did not work with my skin. The Parfum is amazing and works perfect in a business setting. A very classy fragrance. Thank you for the review.

[@robertreyes4391]

I understand it's the "bleu line fragrance" but Chanel needs to step it up cause I feel the fragrance game is going to leave them behind.. Great review gentlemen as always..

[@anthonyj810]

Yeah this was kinda pointless because it's literally no different than the EDP version.

[@Zzznow8]

Excellent review. Seems like the type of fragrance that messes with people's noses. Definitely a polished and classier Bleu de Chanel yet!

[@TheAsadali19]

The best team!! You guys are so awesome. Literally the highlight of my day watching you guys sometimes. I'm also interested in trying the parfum, but honestly I haven't been able to afford any of them yet haha. Can't wait to put my nose on it

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Thanks for watching

[@BlainePratt]

Not only do I look forward to you guys' entries, but it inevitably leads me to go back and find other, older episodes!

[@mattjackson23]

You guys are so great together on camera. So happy to be a subscriber to both of you! I love Bleu de Chanel Edp so I'm happy to skip paying $163 for this one!

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Much appreciated

[@27pugsly]

mattjackson23 I bought the cute little 1.7 just for collection. I love the scent!

[@Sellingosullivan36]

I really wish they upped the projection with this, I feel like BDC becomes a skin scent quickly

[@scottyB316]

Usually you 2 are spot on. With this one.... absolutely not. Parfum to me blows away edp and edt. I put this one on and 6 hrs later a coworker said wow someone sure smells good I love that cologne. I work in a factory in open air also.

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Scotty B Tv Yeah I’ve come around to this one since the review

[@hshsjwbshsjwjekjeje]

You still recommend it ?

[@toastynotes]

For me the EDT smells the cleanest and has the most vibrant citrus notes along with a nose tingling sensation. The EDT is the safest choice out of the three I think and handles hot temperatures the best. The EDP is my personal favorite and smells syrupy sweet and rich. I think I like it the most out of the three because it balances zingy citrus, smoky incense, syrupy amber, and wood notes; you get the best of everything. The Parfum is also great and smells creamy and more like a traditional cologne to me. It should be able to handle cold temperatures well and might be better suited to someone who likes smoother smelling colognes more than richer ones. They're all great though!

[@johnsells1689]

Bought this the other day, my favorite designer scent. Love this fragrance.

[@hshsjwbshsjwjekjeje]

Still recomend it ?

[@kester7583]

So the edp over the parfum for projection and longevity

[@VADERxOG]

The two of you are my favorite Fragrance reviewers! *I prefer Bleu EDP

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Thanks so much Isaac

[@deonmojo]

i like how you compared the 3 versions to give folks an idea of what to expect with this latest version. as always, thanks for the great content!

[@timweed7954]

Was going to bed when I saw the notification. Sleep can wait. Great review as always guys!

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

LOL thanks!

[@richardrohloff4876]

I'm buying this no matter what because of how much I love Chanel and the bleus. Sounds like this will be layered with molecule 01, like I do with the other ones. Great review guys!

[@pashteen8348]

Ull not b disappointed trust me..its citrus note makes it special

[@TheChazas]

Was really stoked about Parfum because I had expectations of like Dior does their Parfum, Le Parfum versions, strong and incredible performance, rich and almost niche like quality and jet even cheaper. Great and honest review.

[@baronvonpor6991]

I love how you two complement each other’s points. No disrespect to other channels that bring in guests or do collabs, but they are sometimes disjunctive. Here, however, you guys add onto each other’s points and ask clarifying questions which help the viewers out immensely. Also, gotta love how you guys bring in secondary opinions and their comments! All in all, a great video :)

[@jamesharrington6736]

I love this new parfum, so much stronger than the edt. Thanks again guys for the great reviews and vlogs!!!

[@aikjones1]

DCD same thing

[@elonzohendrix1766]

I agree. More concentrated. It last all day with only two squirts. It even lingers after I shower. The perfum is a better version then the other two bleu Chanel. You don't have to bathe in it in order to smell it its definitely noticeable and very pleasant. I say this one is a winner.

[@ralphfurley123]

Thank you so much for breaking down the differences between the three versions!!! I really love this clean fragrance!!! I really enjoy and appreciate all the nuances that you two have observed regarding each bottle! This video is so informative!!! ☮️🖖🏽

[@coreysaunders4376]

I ordered my bottle from Chanel overnight I was so excited. It really is more of a "skin scent" than anything more close encounter. I totally understand by what Carlos means about being polished. It smells classy and smoothe. I'm only 22 but prefer this kind of scent on a close encounter date. Awesome pick up well worth it!

[@justaddlight]

Always appreciate your honesty Carlos. I kinda prefer the colour of the bottle, and despite already owning the EdP, I still have to give it a shot. We'll see!

[@trencher7]

I liked the EDT more than the EDP. They just made it boring ( "polished") and rounded off the edges. I like the brightest version that still has some edge to it. I haven't tried the Parfum version yet.

[@markart157]

me too

[@65Davis65]

Nice to see you two together again, great review guys! I look forward to smelling it, it will take some time for it to arrive where I am. For now I will continue to enjoy my EDP version. What I would really want is for Chanel to come out with something new and different...it is time. All the others fragrance houses seem to be moving ahead while Chanel and standing still. Anyway, cheers guys, Davis(voted again, my fingers crossed for you two).

[@nattygold1]

You guys are the Siskel and Ebert of fragrance reviews, alway insightful and on point.. I've only tried the Edp and would love to try the parfum..

Thank you Carlos and Steven for another great review . Well ready for something new from Channel , I think there is nothing wrong with flankers but change it up .Just my opinion

[@EdwienGusmantara]

Oliver Polge. Amazing smell but weak performance like D&G The One

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

I definitely smell insence and grapefruit in the EdP, even if it's not in the note breakdown. It's my favorite part of Bleu de Chanel.

Have been out of the game for a minute but I'm back.. clad to see you two again like always.. love you guys..

[@ardenpowers7730]

Thanks for sharing . . . sounds like the EDP is still a great alternative !

I’ve been looking forward to your guys review on this. I love how educational and entertaining your guys videos are.

[@jmhoke83]

GREAT take. I’m really excited to try it as BDC EDP is one of my faves of all time and the one frag that got me into this obsession.

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Thanks for stopping by Josh

[@jesuscorderomusic]

Great video friends, i love the eau parfum version, i truly love see you together, 2 monster from this great fragrance world, Many Blessings

[@awdougo]

Great video guys. I saw this fragrance at the chemist today for 170 dollars for 100 mls here in Australia. Too steep a price for me without a tester bottle to at least have a whiff. It would need to be a killer scent for me to buy it at that price. I voted for u guys again. cheers.

[@cliftonhough5768]

Love your collaboration. I mentioned this elsewhere about the fragrance. Uninspiring. Yes. Worth the price. No. Mass appealing. Yes. Better than EDP. No. In my area most young men and proper gentleman wear the same fragrances and this line stands out because the average guy here would never voluntarily sample or wear something with “Chanel” on the bottle. I’ve gotten compliments on EDT and EDP with those wondering “What are you wearing?” Even after all the years and years these have become boring to scrutinizing noses. Bringing new fragrances out for the average person who doesn’t know what a fragrance note is is what I enjoy. I still love expanding my collection to include classics and new compositions but I never forget that around here most people can’t tell you if it’s $30 or $200. Only that you smell fantastic and hopefully entirely unique.

[@matthewarnold6951]

You guys rock. I love the EDT and might get a sample of the Parfum. But thanks for helping me decide!! I love incense and was hoping it would appear in the pure Parfum. Oh well!

[@Boss2164]

I like the Parfum. Use the EDT for summer only

[@mathieuguillaume9999]

Thanks for the review. I'm allready thinking a while about buying Blue de Chanel. Your opinion gave me a new way to look at it! Really like the smell but the performance worries me a little. I'll test it out and hope it can meet my expectations. Keep it up!

[@jaytuckerwrites]

I owned the EDT and really enjoyed it. Swapped it because I don't necessarily like everyone being able to nail what I'm wearing. The parfum sounds about what I expected...more well rounded, but too pricey to pull the trigger on.

[@gonzaljevic]

I love how you liked it and still have reservations recommending it due to price.

[@sciguyfragz1616]

Great review guys! I cant wait to try this one out I ordered 10ml should be here buy monday. Good luck on the upcoming awards and keep up the good work!

[@p.johnson3152]

[@esanc2893]

Awesome video Carlos & Steven!!! I've been wanting to try out this release for a while. I love the EDP version & I want to see how this release differs. Keep up the great work guys!!!

[@curtiscanady7962]

Noooooo i was hoping the pure parfum version would be better at projection. I really do love my edp version a lot, more than the etd. Looks like ill probably pass on buying the pure parfum. I think chanel needs to make a new mens scent now since everyone is kinda disappointed in the latest bdc....

[@HammerLeaf]

It's a parfum, why would it project more?

[@IanJamesBeats]

RIP Carlos.

[@cuzar]

Thanks for letting us know it's not projecting as much anymore. Still EDT is for me the way to go, but Im really curious now to head to the stores and try the Parfum version.

[@aingoi10207]

You two are a top notch team. Your reviewing styles compliment each other well and always teach me a ton. Thanks for another educational video guys!

[@stevebollinger]

Thanks for the review. This has been my most anticipated fragrance release of the year. I haven’t tried it yet. It’s disappointing that the projection is so soft. Is suspect it’s the best smelling of the Bleu line.

[@Musicandgamer]

I loved the Eau de Parfum, but let me tell you guys, I literally fall in love for the Parfum!! The Eau de Toilette don't hold enough the whole day, but with the Bleu de Chanel Parfum, even after a shower you still can smell it, believe me, it's true...it the love at first sight for IMHO Nice video btw

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Thanks

[@Musicandgamer]

@@BrooklynFragranceLover Your the very welcome, anytime

[@Musicandgamer]

The big difference between Eau de Toilette and the Eau de Parfum or better Parfum, is that you just make 3 spray with the Parfum and that's largely enough...with the Eau de Toilette you have to put A TONE to make it smell. But I don't teach you anything, of course, you already know this, isn't it? But the problem is that the most part of the people DON'T know that...

[@Superpity07]

@@Musicandgamer I just purchased the parfum. Three sprays? Curious where your three spray spots are? Behind the ears and the chest?

[@Musicandgamer]

@@Superpity07 Yeah, I said 3 sprays, but 4 or 5 don't hurt, that's right. I put on wrists neck and the breast, and indeed I noticed that 3 sprays was maybe not enough.

Hi Carlos My favorite part about the video is the honesty in the review. Great video!

[@ericdanthon2]

Polished is what I like and I think this will be the best one for me. I am almost out of my EDT anyways and will skip the EDP. I don't want my scent jumping out too far for better quality. I am sure the perfume will last longer. Can't wait to try it. Nice job guys.

[@dondiablo5583]

Yes but projects less

[@stephenrikey5496]

I’ve tried edp ,edt and I bought the parfum one to me the first two smell more fresh with the woods but the parfum smells mostly woods

[@shave-a-thon3415]

I think this may have been the most professional review I've ever seen you guys do. It was broadcast worthy! That said, I would have liked for you to mention the batch code of the Bleu de Chanel edt bottle you have. I'm guessing it's pre-2015. The 2014 IFRA restrictions (along with any US FDA ingredient regulations that have been issued) are so confining as to almost ensure nothing is a powerhouse anymore. Everything has been reformulated since 2014. My 2017 bottles of Azzaro Chrome and Obsession bear no resemblance to any performance review on KZbin. I went to Macy's to spray a tester of Obession to see if It was possible I had a fake bottle and the Macy's tester was just as weak. A parfum is supposed to create a scent cloud with excellent sillage in at least a 5 ft diameter of space. Bleu de Chanel Parfum should have never been released if they couldn't get it to perform like a parfum. It sounds like it doesn't even perform like an eau de pafum. I'm sure Carlos remembers the classics of the 1980's. *COLOGNES* back then could clear a room! It's very disheartening to hear that this performs more like a cologne of today. Aqua Velva Musk aftershave/cologne is stronger!

[@junasphilips3895]

Loved the energy and the in-depth analysis. Would love to smell it. :)

[@sjerquinn]

Great review with real world experiences. There isn't a lot of that going on in reviews lately. Love those stories. Thanks for the review!

[@thehdcode9374]

For somebody that owned all the three flankers this last one is absolutely the best. so much versatile and sophisticated that all the previous one. the EDT is harsh and messy, too strong for me. the EDP is an improvement of the EDT but also too sharp and have a weird drydown smell ( an old man skin scent, go figure!) but the Parfum is not an improvement on performance or projection but on everything else is just better parfum in general. if never got any of the BLEUs go straight for this one

[@eraser050]

I only have the EDT, as I had bought it years ago, before I had any idea of how complex the perfume offerings are. Afterwards, when I got into this passion, I smelt the EDP and I can say I prefer it over the EDT, but it seemed a bit redundant to purchase since the scent profile itself is the same (to my nose), the only difference being the tiny tweaks they made probably because of the concentrations (smells richer, a bit sweeter more polished, as you put it). I'm excited about this one mainly because of Dior, tbh, they did wonders with their parfum editions, but I am expecting the same scent. Also, since the perfumer is now Olivier, I want to see how he played with the Bleu formula. Thanks for the giveaway!

[@sangnguyen2610]

Thank you for making this review!! I’m a big fan of Bleu the Chanel!!! Great video guys!

[@Zetsumei88]

Interesting that you couldn't order it on your phone. I ordered it on my phone on Monday the 7th and there was free overnight shipping for orders $125 and higher. Made my order and got it the next day! I do agree it's steep for a designer release but I don't regret my purchase! Thanks for the review!

[@timwilliams4306]

For me, sniffing Bleu De Chanel is kinda like rubbing tiny bits of rusted industrial metal against my sensitive olfactory sensors, resulting in a raging headache and three hour recovery time. But will I enjoy this one as much? Let me know (or don't), thanks Carlos and Steven.

[@beadcattamjo6579]

Thank you both for your great reviews. I think my husband would love this one. He could wear this since it is office friendly & would also work well for many occasions. Thanks for our entry.

[@thebizness5596]

I got the sample for bleu De chanel parfum and I've rationed it like I paid £90 for it. I'm going to try the EDT and EDP to find out which is best. Tiff recommended EDP. So far I love the Parfum.

[@defragheadarius]

An awesome fragrance from the House of Chanel. May I ask your opinion Carlos? Should I get the Bleu De Chanel EDT or Lalique Encre Noir sport? Good job once again guys!
