Courreges in Blue

by Edouard Fléchier

Courrèges Courreges in Blue is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1983, created by Edouard Fléchier. Courreges in Blue opens with Basil, Aldehydes, Marigold, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, Peach, and Blackcurrant, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. 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.
