Blu Women

Womanity is my holy grail fragrance. I first smelled it as a teenager and it was genuinely life changing. It became my signature scent for many many years. I went through 10+ bottles. Sadly it's impossible to find now and I save what I have left for special occasions. When I read that this was almost a dead ringer for Womanity I had to try it. I was not disappointed! It does smell like Womanity - but an EDT version. It's fresher than the original EDP. A bit of a citrus hit in the opening which Womanity does not have but it's nice. Doesn't have the same intense saltiness but it's a very nice and wearable fragrance. Again the intensity of the fig notes if not as strong, but they're there and very pleasant. Do not expect extreme projection or longevity with this one but it's still a nice semi intimate scent. I actually think this would be office appropriate if you just went for two sprays. It's very pretty. If you're not a Womanity lover and just interested in the notes I would recommend you buy a small size to try. This fragrance is a perfect summer day time scent.

I couldn’t say whether it resembles Womanity or not, for I’ve unfortunately never smelled it. But what I do know is that Blu is a truly pleasing fragrance, even for someone like me who usually doesn’t care much for marine scents. Blu is fig in its truest, most radiant form. Not the kind that drifts into coconut or gets lost in sunscreen vibes. No, here, it’s still on the tree. And a marine breeze blows around it, fresh, salty, yet gentle. A calm sea, maybe on a sunny morning on the island of Capraia, somewhere between fig trees and rocks kissed by waves. It’s a fragrance that breathes escape without cliché, freshness without harshness, and nature without artifice. A fig tree by the sea - so simple, and so beautiful.

This one smells like the sea... It indeed has those notes, and the bottle is quite stylish, reminds me of Cote'd'Azur where I bought it just a week ago. I also had a distinct impression that it was close to Mi Amor from NEXT (a floral perfume, which cost very little, but was very classy to wear), so I just had to buy Blu. This is a 'slow' and eluding feminine perfume. Slow as in 'I am not making a statement here, I just love the way I am.' It's also not the usual synthetic scent you come across in shops in 99% of cases these days. It still smells Woman. Classy. Love it.

Blu Donna (Woman) by Acqua dell Elba is a splendid salt forward fragrance supported by a lush, green fig tree. Completely unencumbered by sweetness, Blu Donna’s salt blends beautifully with skin, especially during the scorching heat of summer, where perspiration seems to magnify the bitter earthiness of artemisia and the gentle, dry woodiness of cedar. For those who cherish the Mediterranean coast, Blu Donna has captured its essence, becoming a wearable memory of sea-washed air and sun-warmed trees.

I love Womanity and can confirm this is a very very close twin. This one, has a woodier dry-down and feels somehow a little bit more natural. At this point I try to decide which one remains. One doesn't need both Edit: I decided to keep this over Womanity because it feels a lot more natural
