Our verdict on Encode Blue: Favourite

This one's a bit of a mixed bag. Some reckon it's a decent, fresh blue scent for the price, others find it a generic shower gel let-down with poor performance. Don't expect miracles, but it might do for gym or casual sprints.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, aquatic nature makes it perfect for casual wear and sport. The general consensus on moderate performance means it's suitable for office wear without being overpowering, but it lacks the depth for formal events or a romantic date.

About

Encode Blue dives in with a splash of zesty bergamot and a surprising pop of pink pepper, rounded out by a medley of bright, exotic fruits. Soon, a dominant marine accord emerges, bringing a salty, oceanic breeze with a touch of smooth ambergris. The dry down settles into a familiar blend of clean woods, a hint of earthy patchouli, and a subtle whisper of leather, creating an overall fresh, 'blue' olfactory experience.
