Which Should You Buy?
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.
