Which Should You Buy?
Skip this one. Despite the promise of a well-known original, Blue de Chance is a deeply disappointing blue fragrance. It's aggressively synthetic, smells cheap, and performs terribly. There are far better, and frankly cheaper, alternatives out there. A resounding no from us.
This one's a proper beast, a true compliment-getter with serious projection. It's divisive, though - some get a sophisticated blue scent, others are hit with something completely different, even a cigarette smell. Test before you commit, but if it works, it works hard.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Given the poor longevity and generally synthetic, unpleasant smell reported by many, this isn't suitable for most occasions. While 'blue' fragrances typically offer versatility, this particular scent's execution limits its wearability to very casual, non-committal settings where it might quickly fade or be unnoticed.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and strong projection make it less suitable for a confined office setting, where it might be overwhelming. However, these same qualities, combined with its complex and masculine profile, make it excellent for dates or casual outings where you want to make an impression and last all day.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Amber, Fresh Spicy accords and Mint, Vetiver notes
