Historic Olmeda

Wonderful classy blue deep and rich. Much better than Dylan Blue scent and performance. Better performance than Bleu De Chanel I think but I've only tested Bleu. I won't say this smells better than Chanel but not worse either and its equal in class. I'm just treating myself to the Olmeda a little since I just got it and I want to let it reach full potency usually takes 2 weeks to a month and a half. But already it's quite good especially for an upscale bleu. I think most of the notes have been mentioned and are accurate to the list. One thing I do want to say is that there absolutely is plenty of incense despite what I read in other reviews. But it is unlit incense-this fragrance isn't really smoky although it is mysterious and nocturnal and rich and beautiful. Now that the price has gone down on the Historic Olmeda I just couldn't imagine paying for BDC or especially DB. I love Versace but Dylan Blue all but vanishes after 20 minutes. Now if you are rich and can grab a few bottles of various Chanel without any buyers remorse hey I get it. I would too if I could.

It's a spicy fragrance that offers a sparkling, fresh, and slightly woody character. The opening is invigorating and lively - a fresh, citrusy, and subtly spicy introduction. The fragrance's heart adds a nuanced and complex character, bringing in a woody and slightly floral touch. Finally, the fragrance settles into a warm, earthy, and slightly sweet dry down that lingers. It is highly versatile & mass-appealing and can be worn for a wide range of occasions and seasons, and is suitable for both men & women, though woody & spicy elements in it take it to the masculine side. This could be a great choice for those looking for a versatile everyday scent with a sophisticated touch. Overall, it is well-crafted, clean, and refreshing, offering excellent value.

I like it honestly . Got it from a dealer for 50$ .Just for the bottle and presentation at this price point , you should buy it. Very good . I mostly get Juniper and grapefruit and bergamot. Also at the end patchouli and musk. This is honestly not lasting much for me. It's like 40 degree Celsius here. It projects for bout 1 hour or so for me. And stays close to my skin with few whiffs for 4 hours or so. I expected better performance. This is pleasing and soothing scent. I have used like 15 times and give it some time to macerate. It;ll definitely improve . Let's see. Will update soon.

I was initially worried that this wouldn't live up to the hype listed by fragrances this is similar to as BDC and Dylan blue are both summer bangers, but upon first whiff, I was very happy with the scent profile. The top notes of the fragrances are blended very well, where the juniper, jasmine, and bergamot take center stage with a nice woodiness in the background. Overall I would rate this a 9.5/10 and would pick this up over BDC and DB simply because it smells like the best of both and lasts as long as BDC with very nice projection.

Strong grapefruit and juniper opening but quite balanced opening. Kinda similar to Turanti Blue under same brand. It does have similarities to Bleu de chanel edp but no incense and fresher. The opening doesn't last very long and the heart notes comes fast with a more pronounced nutmeg. Smells pretty good itself for a blue budget scent. Bottle presentation is pretty nice. Sprayer is good too. Price is excellent for such a scent. Many young adults would love this.

I really enjoy this scent. I don't get much of a resemblance to Bleu de Chanel (I have all 3), but, that's not an issue because I don't enjoy BdC very much. This is in the same family (blue scent) as BdC, Sauvage and Versace Dylan Blue. This is a blue scent with a dark character. The sharpness of it reminds me of the smell of old dusty books and papyrus scrolls, and I absolutely love it. Probably my favorite blue scent. Try a sample first.

Another Afnan superstar. The historic series are all superstars. This one is super fresh and rich, it smells like the best of blue fragrances together getting deep. Mix sauvage and blue de chanel and versache and you get this. Absolutely great scent. If you want to smell fresh and clean but also rich and interesting for what like 35 euro then I can recommend this to everybody.

It has some Dylan blue vibe but with some twist. And maybe the twist is a little bit too far that it doesn't really that special anymore. It's still a good fragrance because it is mass appealing like typical blue fragrance, but it really lacks of unique-ness. I'm okay with it, but probably gonna choose other when there's an option

This is so good! If you consider the price with it, this is an absolute steal, I get 10-12 hours of longevity and a good sillage. Among the blue fragrances that I owe it is my second favorite. But you have to like blue fragrances like blue de Chanel and Dylan blue in order to like this one.

Yes, this is BDC EDP clone with so much more inside. Especially in the opening, youll get more of Sauvage EDP or Dylan blue, but after 10 minutes it dries into Bleu de chane with a small twist. Great longetivity, considering that newer batches of BDC are very weak, this one is a steal!

Took a test spray of it lasted on my wrist over night. For some reason Iam really addicted to the smell however it does not have alot of sillage. Still cant stop sniffing my wrist 10/10 smell 6/10 performance

This fragrance is a like a cross between BDC and Dior Sauvage. It smells great, and I love the reactions I get when I wear this. It has been one of my better clone pickups in 2025.

I second what Vitaminko said. For the $38 bucks I paid, for parfum concentration, and for how good it smells, it is deal city all day.

Just the most basic dumb reach fragrance. You cant go wrong with this. Good price. Redundant to buy the original.

My girlfriend (who hates fragrances) loved this one. I also got surprising longevity on skin of 7 hours.

Como o Sauvage gostaria de ter nascido. Perfeito!

all i can say is WOW. I do not expect this from a middle eastern house, especially considering a price. My experience with middle eastern fragrances has always been quite bad, they're usually very harsh at the opening, but this? No, not at all. This is very smooth, well-made, outstanding. Now, i'm basing this of first impression because I just got this, so no information on the longevity yet, however I do get anosmic pretty quickly but I know that's just because of how potent it is. On paper, this is very bleu de chanel like. Juniper berry, with pink pepper, and grapefruit makes this very fresh, very uplifting, spicy and sweet. The cardamom in the opening makes it well-rounded, giving it a more balsamic tone to it, camphorous if you will, and a little bit minty even without mint in it, very good combination. It is like bleu de chanel eau de parfum concentration. On my skin, it's a bit different. It's not as fresh and uplifting but because my skin tends to make fragrances a bit more solid and heavy, it makes this very spicy and sweet rather than bright and thin. However, I'm not complaining this still smells really good. The presentation is nice, the bottle really explains how the scent smells like on my skin. A navy colour on a greek column. It shows that even if it is a blue fragrance, it's a very deep and sophisticated one. A "dark blue" fragrance if you will. That makes this very versatile, it's very easy to wear, it can even be a dumb reach, and a very good one. I'm not really a fan of blue fragrances because everybody wears this kind of DNA, I definitely have smelt this before, kinda? It definitely reminds me of a few fragrances but definitely different. That being said, it is not unique to the laymen's nose. People with low knowledge of perfumery will think this is just bleu de chanel or dylan blue or any other blue fragrances, but hey, it's still a very nice scent.

This is a thicker, more full version of Bleu De Chanel EDP but it mixes in many more blue fragrances into the scent especially in the opening. A little bit of the spicy pink pepper reminds me of sauvage for a rew seconds, those juniper berries will give you a little bit of Rochas L’Homme and a little bit of the notes found in Dylan Blue also come through. However that BDC EDP DNA is still the one im able to draw the most similarity with if i had to chose. Its thicker and fuller due to the nutmeg and patchouli and an apple note thats barely perceivable and is pretty addicting to smell. This thing is built for compliments and ive already received a few within a week or wearing it. Longevity : i get noseblind due to the blast of ambroxan after 2 hours but when i asked my friends they could all pick it up well above that but its not as beast mode as some youtubers make it out to be. Definitely is discernable by people who havent had their noses fried by it even after 5 hours and should be able to touch 6 hours overall. Decent for a fresh scent (7/10) Projection : well above arms length for the first 2 hours, then settles into a skin scent (6/10) Sillage : it will leave a trail behind you for about 4-5 hours(7/10) Scent : hybrid of many blue fragrances and done really well, doesnt smell cheap at all (8/10) Uniqueness : obviously blue fragrances arent unique but the way its mixed here really helps set it apart slightly (6/10) Versatility : 10/10

So many here are comparing this to Bleu De Chanel... But, This is for the most part a dupe of Versace’s Dylan Blue, it’s a mix of Dylan Blue & Sauvage (Hardly surprising as Dylan Blue was Versace’s response to Sauvage) I’m not really picking up on the Bleu De Channel vibes others talk about as to me the Dylan Blue & Sauvage vibes are more prominent & besides I find BDC a weak ass frag anyway. My bottle arrived earlier today so am trying it out for longevity & projection, will update when I’ve had a chance to properly test it. But after an hour or so it’s stronger on my skin than Dylan Blue which is one of my favourite frags but sadly doesn’t project that great, this on the other hand seems to be fairing better, so we will see. Update: Love this frag, after many hours of trying this, it leans more towards Sauvage as it dries down, to my nose it’s 60% Sauvage & 40% Dylan Blue, as I said previously I’m not getting the Bleu De Chanel that others claim which suits me as I’m not that much of a fan of BDC, Dylan Blue & Sauvage on the other hand I am, so this works great for me. Longevity is around 5hrs with decent projection for the first couple of hours, lasts on clothing longer. Like it so much, I’ve already pulled the trigger & purchased a back up bottle, can see me grabbing more to put away, especially as if I like a frag I can burn my way through a 100ml bottle in a month no trouble.

I'm writing this review after 4 months of maceration. This perfume is not at all similar to Dylan Blue or Bleu de Chanel. This perfume is similar to Chemistry by Ajmal, but it still goes its own way, which is not unexpected since it has its own perfumer. After the maceration process, much of the harshness of this perfume has diminished, and it's much smoother. The notes of jasmine, musk, ambergris, and apple are more prominent and reduce the bitterness of rosemary, pink pepper, cedar and nutmeg notes. At first, it had a very bitter rosemary scent that suffocated all the other notes. But now that it has more balance, it's a very masculine, bitter, and cool aromatic fragrance with excellent performance that is not at all irritating. The notes I get most are rosemary, pink pepper, nutmeg, pine wood, and a little musk and amber. I think 3 to 5 sprays are enough for this perfume. It's more suitable for men over thirty, as it doesn't have a fun vibe at all, and instead conveys a sense of power. I think it can be a four-season fragrance, except for very cold winter days. Of course, its performance doesn't diminish, but it's not ideal to use a cool-tempered fragrance in very cold weather. For the scent, I give it an 8. Performance: 9 Bottle design: 9 Blind buy safety and mass appeal: 5
