Blumarine Blu is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1996. Blumarine's Blu carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive yet distinctive 90s floral that oscillates between powdery warmth and aquatic freshness. It's a love-it-or-leave-it kind of scent, steeped in nostalgia for some, a touch too dated for others.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile, but the rich, sensual character leans more towards evening and intimate settings. While some find it light enough for day, its depth and warm base notes make it particularly suited for dates or cooler casual evenings.

About

Blumarine Blu opens with a surprisingly harsh accord before settling into a soft, powdery peach fuzz, enhanced by elegant apricot-like osmanthus. As it evolves, a rich tapestry of indolic jasmine and creamy tuberose emerges, deepened by a hint of spicy clove. The dry down becomes an addictive, sensual blend of warm vanilla, soft sandalwood, and earthy patchouli, with violet and heliotrope adding a delicate, makeup-like powderiness that lingers invitingly.
