Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blue de Chance
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Inspired by Bleu
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Chanel's Bleu de Chanel (2010) - the Jacques Polge citrus-woody-aromatic masculine that became Chanel's biggest men's hit, here translated into a grapefruit-lemon-mint opening over a ginger heart and an incense-vetiver-cedar close. Honest dupe-fidelity for office and date wear at a fraction of the designer price.

Season and Occasion Fit

Blue de Chance

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

No strong occasion fit

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.

Inspired by Bleu

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Grapefruit-mint opening lifts spring and summer; ginger-incense-vetiver close adds autumn and winter carry. A true four-season composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Sport

A polished fresh-woody masculine works across office, date, casual, and formal. The grapefruit-mint lift keeps it from feeling heavy in daytime contexts.
