Which Should You Buy?
Courreges in Blue is a bold, divisive 80s powerhouse that refuses to be ignored. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent with beast-mode performance, often miscategorised, but undeniably unique. Not for the faint of heart or those who prefer modern subtlety.
This is a budget-friendly 'blue' scent that’s a bit of a chameleon, often compared to the likes of Bleu de Chanel, Montblanc Legend, or even Invictus. It's a decent shout for the price, but don't expect a groundbreaking scent - it's a solid, versatile performer that punches above its weight in the 'cheapie' category.
