Courrèges Courreges in Blue is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1983, created by Edouard Fléchier. Courreges in Blue opens with Marigold, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Courrèges's Courreges in Blue carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Courreges in Blue is a bold, divisive 80s powerhouse that refuses to be ignored. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent with beast-mode performance, often miscategorised, but undeniably unique. Not for the faint of heart or those who prefer modern subtlety.

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, often described as 'beast-mode,' make it unsuitable for office settings. However, its complex blend lends itself well to formal events or cooler weather casual wear, though a light hand is essential due to its intensity.

About

Opening with a sharp, aldehydic burst, Courreges in Blue immediately commands attention with green basil, peppery coriander, and bright marigold. The heart unveils a complex floral bouquet where rosy notes intertwine with sweet peach and tart blackcurrant, underpinned by a creamy tuberose. This rich tapestry settles into a deep, earthy drydown of oakmoss, vetiver, and cedar, softened by amber and a hint of clove, creating an old-school symphony that evolves dramatically on the skin.
