Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bleu de Chanel Parfum
A masterclass in woody refinement, Bleu de Chanel Parfum delivers understated power and confidence. Its creamy sandalwood base and aromatic freshness make it the most mature, smooth, and quietly compelling of the Bleu line.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Blue - 299 - Intense Parfum
No. 299 - Intense pushes the New Caledonian sandalwood-and-cedar drydown that Bleu de Chanel Parfum is known for and gets the deepened, woodier direction right, but the sandalwood here is thinner and more synthetic-reading than the original's genuinely luxurious, creamy wood, so the depth is implied rather than delivered.
