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.

This one's a fresh, sporty scent that might remind you of a certain blue-bottled icon, but it holds its own. Don't expect an identical twin; it's more like a cool, energetic cousin.
