Which Should You Buy?
This 90s classic remains a solid if divisive choice. While some find modern formulations a shadow of their former self, advocates praise its timeless tropical freshness and woody depth, offering an escape from today's generic blue scents.
Sensing Blue chases Tom Ford's Costa Azzurra - that salty driftwood-and-seaweed Mediterranean freshness over herbal aromatics and a smoky incense-vetiver base. The seaside mood lands, but it reads thinner and more linear, missing the original's resinous depth and weight.
