Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blue Label EDT
Givenchy Blue Label is a divisive freshie with a vocal fanbase, but a significant number of people find it generic, fleeting, or even outright unpleasant. It's safe, but not for everyone, nor will it be particularly memorable.

Our Verdict - French Tag For Men EDP
A budget take on Givenchy Blue Label. French Tag nails the grapefruit-and-bergamot citrus open and the dry cedar-vetiver close, but Perfume Parlour's version reads a touch sharper and more synthetic up top, with the soft woody drydown thinner and shorter-lived than the original's modest wear.

Season and Occasion Fit

Blue Label

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear and the office, as it's generally inoffensive. However, its perceived lack of uniqueness and moderate performance limit its appeal for dates or formal events, where something more distinctive and long-lasting is often preferred.

French Tag For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal Sport

Clean and unobtrusive, it suits the office, casual days and the gym more than formal evening settings.
