Armand Basi In Blue is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005. In Blue opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Neroli, Lotus, Pepper, and Blackcurrant, and dries down to a base of Woody, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Armand Basi's In Blue carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some reckon it's a decent, fresh citrus all-rounder, while others clearly find it dull and forgettable. It's affordable, but don't expect a groundbreaking scent.

Its fresh and clean citrus-spicy profile makes it versatile for casual daily wear and even sports, as many reviews suggest. However, its moderate performance and lack of unique character mean it's less suited for formal events or intimate dates.

About

Opens with a zesty, clean burst of grapefruit, bergamot, and mandarin, underscored by a subtle coriander spice. The heart quickly introduces a fresh, aquatic lotus alongside a peppery kick and a hint of fruity blackcurrant. As it settles, a woody, mossy base emerges, grounding the lively top and mid with a confident, masculine warmth.
