Korres Blue Sage is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2020. Blue Sage opens with Grapefruit, Lime, and Mint, settles into a heart of Nutmeg, Sage, and Canadian Fir Balsam, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Korres's Blue Sage carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A fresh, clean, and understated scent that many compare to a more natural, subtle Bleu de Chanel - if you can get past the lacklustre performance and avoid provoking a wasp attack. It's a bit like a high-end deodorant, in a good way.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and subtle nature makes it ideal for casual wear, office environments, and sports, as it won't overpower. The reported low longevity and mild projection mean it's less suited for formal events or dates where more impact might be desired.

About

Blue Sage opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of lime and grapefruit, sharpened by a cool minty edge. As it settles, an aromatic heart of fir resin and sage emerges, spiced gently with nutmeg, giving it a green, woody depth. The base lingers with earthy vetiver and patchouli, softened by a touch of warm amber, keeping it grounded and subtly masculine.
