Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Melbourne Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Chanel Bleu de Chanel (2010) - grapefruit, ginger and incense translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
Our Verdict - Blue Eau de Parfum
The Essence Vault's interpretation of Chanel's Bleu de Chanel (2010) - Jacques Polge's woody-aromatic that became the defining versatile-masculine of the 2010s, here translated into a budget reading with the grapefruit-ginger-incense-vetiver spine still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for office and date wear.
