Blue Seduction

I've seen this in the stores forever and have never seen a tester. I just assumed it wasn't much. I just got this from reviews alone. Everyone is right! You can't go wrong. This is comparable and also better than Ralph Lauren Blue. The gardenia in this is agreeable with everything else. This is a must! It's light enough so that it doesn't appear to last a real long time, but I lose scents on myself very quickly and others can smell them for hours after I thought it was gone. It's hard to tell if it will fade or leave that fresh late summer watery freshness for hours. If it doesn't fade fast and I reapply when I don't really need to, it'll be ok because it's such a subtle dreamy little cloud of peacefulness. I must say this is one of the best compared with any other aquatics. It's sad really, this is being clearanced and people are just now appreciating it. I think putting Antonio on the bottle made me turn away. I don't find him attractive. This should become a classic. The gardenia in this isn't sharp and rubbery as I've found it can very easily be. The bottle can sit very proudly on any vanity! Oh what a shame I think, to miss out on this scent. TTFN! add on...longevity...incredible, and as long lasting as Fancy Love!

For the past 4 years, this has become my "go-to" scent for the summer--I wear it most often at work and when I don't want to offend, but still want to project a certain amount of sexiness and presence. It is the perfect blend of mildly masculine aquatic, floral, citrus(barely) and sweet. Often when I am wearing it, it makes me think of Old Spice blended with Nina(new version). I have had many compliments from both men and women(and the teenaged bagger at the supermarket check-out) when wearing this. Little do they know this is so CHEAP and widely available online.( I have back-up bottles of it, as well as the matching lotion and deo spray) So, even if it doesn't last long on your skin(but luckily, it actually does last fairly long on mine..at least 6 hours and I LOVE the soft patchouli drydown), it doesn't hurt too much to re-apply. This is a nice hot weather alternative to the super fresh citruses and Light Blues of the fragrance world. Or maybe, it is just me, and this cheapie just works fabulously with my body’s chemistry.

A few months ago these were on sale at Walgreens for $7.99 so I asked the clerk if I could smell this. What a nice scent. Blue Seduction is clean,fresh,fruity and a little powdery. This is a nice casual fragrance for the ladies.For the price I just could not pass on this. I bought three of them. Gave one to my mother (she loves it), one to my 19yr old cousin (she loves it), and one I keep on reserve in case I ever forget an important day, like our 237Th day anniversary or the anniversary of the 1st time we kissed at 8pm on the 2ND Friday of the month. You know how the ladies keep track of these days that we men tend to forget. One word SmoothandSensual. Fellas definitely pick this one up for your lady friend. She'll appreciate it.

I feel the summer, the breeze of the sea, the sun on my face... I feel like I fell in love with Blue Seduction! With the first spritz the delicious smell of melon comes to my nose and then the pear follows. The flowers are lovely and from the base notes I even like the benzoin which in other perfumes I would avoid like hell! Will this be one of my favorites fragrances? I don’t know but I've decided that me and Blue Seduction will be together for a long-long time! And Gatoulis, no, it’s not a ‘cheap’ fragrance. Just wait till you smell it....

I have recently become obsessed with aquatics/beachy scents and I happened to stumble across this perfume at Sears so I thought what the heck lets give it a whirl. WOW! Talk about pleasantly surprised....this is fantastic. Totally reminds me of the beach. Clean, light, bright, fresh! This most certainly could give Cool Water & Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue a run for their money! I ended up getting this on sale for $9 for 1 ounce. Well worth every penny. This is going to be a perfect scent for Summer! What a find!

My packaging says Blue Seduction but it has a silver cap, not a metallic pink cap. The opening is like Vintage Bloom (which reminds many of Nina) and the dry down is similar to Princess Noir. I will give it time to settle and see if the aquatic scents come forward more, which I would enjoy as well. A very pretty and feminine scent, tart and musky. This scent is composed by Oliver Cresp, who also did Nina and various D&G Light Blues, so comparisons with these scents being reminiscent of each other are valid.

I used to wear this perfume on hot summer days in Brazil. It just makes me feel so happy every single time. Its a fresh, feminine and not-too-sweet fragrance. It is an after shower feeling, when you are just ready to work without bothering your co-workers at the office. Love, love, love, but I can only wear during summer time. After a couple of hours I dont smell it anymore, but its still a classic for me. You might like this one if you appreciate Light Blue from D&G.

Has three faces IMO. Winter face; Brings a breeze from sea reminding summer days on seaside with warm notes. Summer face; Gives a sexy and seductive feeling in hot days without being cloying, good alternative for silent citrusy-fresh summer fragrances. Spring face; The best of three faces! It makes happy and lifts the mood up with aquatic notes, makes think about upcoming summer, and makes you forerunner of summer on the street with your fresh cloud behind!!!

I stumbled upon this juice when i was looking for daytime fragrance that won't break the bank for tropical holiday. This was greatly priced and smells good so i snatched it right away. The more i wear it, the more i like it. It's casual, fresh, feminine and sweet but never cloying. The 'seduction' part is way off to me because there's nothing sexy about this perfume. It's more for laying around in the beach or doing sports.

Let me just state that this is my absolute favorite. Smells much more expensive than it is. Bought it during my improvised trip to Odessa. I was just in the middle of my finals and got on the train just in between the third and the fourth exam. Odessa is not just a city, it is a smile of God, as they say in Odessa. And this perfume used to be my late teens signature and an ultimate summer vibe. I love it.

this is a fantastic perfume it suits my natural body scent perfectly i found it very warm and sweet with a kick in the ass awsomeness i cant even describe. its flirty and not too overpowering im noy too keen on how the bottle looks because it is too similar to (kors)islands, but overall this has been well done and i hope it will last. 12/27/09 19:58:55 just got an account:)

It is soft, fresh and perfect for daily use. I wear it going to the office. It can be used for both school and the office. I do not like sweet and sugar perfumes. So I looked for floral and fresh scents. This perfume covers all. The price/ performance ratio is great. And yes, it is not seductive but definitely remarkable and flirty scent.

My husband very love this scent. I can smell pear and melon in top notes, it's very fresh. For bottom notes, for me it's fresh, woody, powdery in good balance. I have been wearing this blue seduction for 5 years, and still love it. it's very longlasting in my skin, more than 6 hours.

I used to wear this perfume long time ago and loved it, for me it is a seductive aquatic perfume and unfortunately it does not last long, this scent used to make me so happy, I wish I could find longer lasting alternative.

i love it.....its my second bottle and i would so go for a third one when this is over....recently i saw adds of a limited- edition called " blue cool seduction"....haven't come across it yet though...

Rapidly picks the mood up! On summer or on the winter... A quality piece from aquatic family... But I recommend it best for summer nights (fresh, sexy) and winter mornings (uplifting, energising)...

Personally, the best fragance I've ever had (and I have had many, both cheap and expensive). It smells like no other. The only weak point I can find in it is that it doesn't stay long in my skin.

Good daytime fragrance, not for job for sure. It is light, a bit soapy. I hear notes of pear most. Also melon is noticable. It is safe to buy blind, because it also has good price.

I was in the store and picked it up to smell it. Oh gees, this one smells so good, its fresh but very tasty, lovely. When I got back home, ordered it online, couldnt resist.

Bought it from a drugstore and didn't expect to like it so much, but this perfume surprised me in a good way.Get a lot of compliments from my colleagues.

Feminine, sexy... I bought it once before Christmas. I love this smell... well, Christmas is coming, it's time to buy another one... :)

yuuuuuuuumy i adore this one fresh floral a little bit fruity i wear it a lot& i got many compliments on it

Very nice. I wish it lasted longer. A good after shower and gym scent.

Fantastic fragrance!Very good combination!So feminine!

I just bought this perfume and I love it.

This is a slightly negative review, so if you love the scent, don't read it. Fragrances are emotional and I don't want my perspective to mar your enjoyment of this fragrance. First, let's get this out of the way. Antonio needs to learn a few more nouns. Blue seduction, fresh seduction, cool seduction, cool fresh seduction, cool blue fresh seduction. Too much seduction, especially for a scent that isn't seductive. He could also lose the sleazy pic on the back of the deceptively-large box. Is the woman his daughter? I thought he was married to the actress with all the injections in her face. As to the perfume--it's nice. Sunny and bright. Neutral and clean. It smells "blue" with a bit of citrus and soap and a Spanish flair. It's like Versace's Yellow Diamonds except watery blue and with even less sillage, which makes it excellent for the office or just being out in public in the U.S. As far as "seduction"--no, but that's not a bad thing. It smells like a child's perfume. It would be innocently dashing for a young boy. The scent is fresh and subtle. Perfect to spray all over after a shower. It smells synthetic, but, again, that's not a bad thing. Maybe only synthetic notes can be so clean and fresh. I paid $16 for 3.4 ounces, and I think that was fair, although I doubt I'd buy it again. But if this were marketed for prepubescent boys at the same price, I'd buy this as a gift for my young nephew. Overall, this is a clean, classy, neutral scent for a woman or even for a man. For a young boy, though, this is best in class; excellent. EDIT: I'm finding the drydown sweetly feminine. This might not be good for a boy after all.

I love this perfume. I was looking for a fresh sensual perfume that I'd be able to wear on hot, humid and stuffy days, and I think this is it. On my skin, it's fresh and sweet in the right way, perfect for summer. Past the opening notes, I don't find it to be citrusy; it's more aquatic. I looove the musk on the base, which imo might be what some people find masculine, but I think that makes it sexy, mysterious and "velvety" (but still fresh!). It definitely is sexy to me, but it's sexy in a deep, enticing way, not in-your-face I-could-eat-this-instead-of-wear-it fruity/vanilla. It's not that kind of sweet. I love it and so does my boyfriend (big plus). I love vanilla and very sweet, though, but it's not what I want for summer. Silage and duration are its weakness, but I wasn't expecting anything too long-lasting given the price. And to be honest, that's the case for most "summer" fragrances, even big houses'. So I really don't mind reapplying. I plan to use the whole bottle throughout the summer. It stays pretty linear after the first 15 min, close to my skin the whole time, which given the notes makes sense. It's 3 pm, I applied it generously at 11 am and I can still smell it. Is it an original frag? Not really, it's (lovely) fruit, flowers, patchouli and musk. But if you're into sweet, feminine but fresh perfumes, give this one a try. It's nicely rounded and doesn't smell as cheap as it costs.

I noticed a group of these Blue Seduction EDT's sitting all by themselves on a discount rack and I unwittingly assumed it was because they were cheap smelling and couldn't sell. I didn't see a tester so I moved on and forgot all about them until yesterday when I stumbled upon the reviews of this scent here on Fragrantica. To my surprise a lot of people liked or loved the scent and I thought, what the hay, I could use an aquatic in my collection. Well I bought one of the 1 oz bottles last night for the low price of $11 and I couldn't be more pleased. I smelled the melon, cool water, and the lightest hint of floral (I'm guessing violets) instantly. Blue Seduction is a summer beach vacation in a bottle. It reminds me of spending a day on the beach hitting the waves and basking in the sun. Then as the sun starts to recede, lazily retreating to the condo to relax in the pool and gaze at how beautifully the remaining sunlight glints off the colorful tiles at the bottom of the pool. This perfume lasts a lot longer than it's price demands of it and get's sweeter and cooler the longer it wears. Fruity, watery, fresh and floral not at all synthetic or cheap. The only thing cheap about this beautiful perfume in it's swimming pool house is the price tag. 7.5/10

To my knowledge Olivier Cresp hasn't yet created a stinker so when I noticed he'd played a role in creating this my curiousity was piqued. Even before opening the bottle the brilliant Caribbean blue of the juice lets your nose know that it will be sniffing an aquatic fragrance but even if the juice happened to be dark brown there'd be no mistaking Blue Seduction as anything but an aquatic. I confess to being mystified by the list of notes. Is it a strange alchemy of melon, pear and crisp green apple that produces the watery effect? I have no idea... but watery this is, indeed. At first sniff and for 3-4 hours afterward my nose picks up a salty ocean breeze that's tangy with musk, milky with almonds and slightly smokey like fruit-infused pipe tobacco before it's set afire. The 1oz bottle is inexpensive and quite lovely, almost like a small bottle of pale blue ink. There's little that I'd call "feminine" about Blue Seduction but neither is it definitely "masculine"; instead, I'd call it an oddly appealing little unisex gem that any fan of aquatics ought to try.

So underrated!! I can ́t state how much I ADORE this !! The fragrance is beautiful, it is fresh, ozonic in a way but yet sweet and spicy some how, the patchouli does magic in this one. Synthetic or not, this is a gem to me. I am currently going through my 2nd bottle, and surely I would repurchase it when I finish it. I feel it suits women of any age over 20+. it does have an edge to it, that might give the feel of a male fragrance.. but to me this is definetley a woman ́s scent! You can use it for work, for an afternoon with friends / family, indoors or outdoors, all year round. The freshness makes it perfect for summer & spring, but the spicy-sweet magic of it also work during autumm and winter. Sillae is quite good on me during the first 2 hours, then it sits closer to the skin. Longevity: 5 to 6 hours, depending on the weather heat. So good for an Eau de Toilette! Bottle: Meh Highly recommend it. Keep it going Antonio!

I purchased this on a whim because it was on sale and I was looking for an aquatic fragrance for spring/summer. I was not disappointed with Blue Seduction. On me, the fragrance opens very strongly with the violet and bergamot and just a hint of melon. As it dries down, i can detect the rose, jasmine and the gardenia while the violet still remains. Hours later, when it finally settled i could smell the musk and the patchouli. Very different and fresh, i've not smelled anything like Blue Seduction before. Comparable to Cool Water Woman but yet not. I have Cool Water and it and Blue Seduction do not smell anything alike. Blue Seduction is not for anyone that wants to remain anonymous or go unnoticed. I've noticed that when I wear Blue Seduction, men walk a little closer and i get many double takes. Beautiful but not for the shy.

This is the only aquatic scent that I actually liked. Usually, fresh or aquatic perfumes don’t work for me, especially when they have strong citrus notes, but this one was different. It didn’t have an overpowering citrus smell, and it was one of the very few summer scents in this category that didn’t give me headaches. This is definitely a summer scent for me, and it can also work well in spring. I don’t think it’s suitable for autumn or winter. It feels light, fresh, and appropriate for warm weather. Overall, this felt like a very safe and easy choice. It was pleasant, wearable, and good value for the price. That said, it’s not very long-lasting. On me, it lasted around three hours at most. Still, considering the price and how easy it is to wear, I think it’s a nice option.

I bought this for my mom for a change, since she's been wearing CK One for the last 20 years, it was about time to try something new! She likes to use perfume right after shower and before going to bed, so it had to be something really light and easy to wear. Most reviews I found on Youtube say this is a bit too masculine and it reminds them of the male Blue Seduction. Well I gotta say, this is absolutely not true. I does not have the dominant melon note, but the opening notes described on here, in perfect symphony. This is a delicious, feminine , fruity fragrance! This is perfect for hot weather, as a daily freshie and after shower body splash. You can't get any better for the price! CAD $30 for the big 200ml bottle! (6.7 Oz)

A very pleasant floral aquatic fragrance. This will probably be my second favourite floral aquatic scent after Rochas' Aquawoman (which unfortunately has been discontinued). I love floral aquatic fragrances but after Aquawoman, I have never been able to find another floral aquatic perfume that suits me. But now, I'm so glad I've finally found the perfect replacement for Aquawoman. Blue seduction is very fresh and feminine, suitable for everyday use, or for those days when one feels like taking it easy. I feel very relaxed after smelling it. Just can't stop sniffing my wrists! Great scent for a great price. I love the bottle too!

This is a guilty pleasure for me, a secret passion for calone, fruit and fresh green patch. This is not my normal sort of scent, normally I'm all about heavy half wilted flowers, heavy incense... and yet despite all my black clothes, skull jewelry and Bauhaus albums... I love this, this least goth of all possible scents, it doesn't last long, and it's very likable, easy to wear, celebrity scent-y and yet, something about it just triggers my "Mmmm" response. This is all fresh seashore and sunshine and ripe fruit, healthy, happy, vital.

Hello miss Melon! Melon is the most outstanding note in the composition of Blue Seduction. I think it's a first perfume in my collection with melon notes. Verdict: Well really nothing special, nothing bad either, a little bit on a boring side, quite typical fruity-aquatic frag,sillage and longevity are average but overall I don't mind wearing it as sometimes I'm in a boring mood myself and I don't feel like experementing all the time, so when I have one of those days I'm gladly wearing Blue Seduction.

It’s such a soft scent! To the point that it’s overwhelmed entirely by alcohol smell! I bought a 6.8 bottle and thought I was getting a steal, but after heavily spraying my clothing and waiting for the burning alcohol to dissipate, I was very disappointed to find only a faint hint of the scent on me! I don’t even know how to describe it. It’s not unpleasant, it’s just not there at all. Vaguely sweet/fruity. That’s all I get. Big bummer.

It is a fresh, clean smell which reminds me of sea water. I do not wear it much because it reminds me of men's cologne but I love the way it smells - I just want to smell more girly. I love to smell it from the bottle but I don't like smelling like it. It reminds me of Cool Water but I think Cool Water is slightly more feminine. It lasts for a very long and my sister got several compliments from guy's when she wore it.

This is a very nice, clean, fresh scent. I like it! It has a slight men’s aftershave/freshly showered cologne vibe that I’m totally down with. Could almost fall into the unisex category. It’s not half as sweet as I thought it would be, thankfully. Longevity on clothes is 12+ hours and projection is moderate. I imaged this would smell similar to Cool Water, but it’s more in the D&G Light Blue category. Very nice!

It's heaven for bergamot and pear lovers. Somehow the melon on me in not such a beast. Great fragrance for spring and summer, reminds me a bit of a men's cologne, yet feminine enough. It's longlasting and innofensive aquatic. The more it stays on my skin, the more floral it becomes - I can smell lily of the valley with hints of rose and peony. It reminds me slightly of Chloe Eau de Parfum for women. Love it!

Affordable and i always get complimented when i wear it. It's fresh, but not too fresh to the point of being masculine. It smells really really nice. Of course it's not better than expensive fragances but it's really good And personally i think it lasts long. My boyfriend loves this, even more than my expensive perfumes, so the use of the word "Seduction" on the name is right.

Antonio Banderas is a good actor, but I never thought he was just as good with his perfume line. I know there is not a scent of a famous firm, but I highly recommend this one, it's fresh, pretty similar to cool water, but a little less sweet. The amazing thing is that children like this scent a lot, they find it yummy!

i think this is one of those fragrances that people stop you and ask you what you're wearing. it actually reminds me of walking into a mall and into one of the perfume shops -- smells modern, maybe unisex, and interesting enough. The bottle matches the smell very well, like it's blue water that smells fragrant.

It begins with note of melon + vinyl/banana/adhesive tape (maybe it is violet leaf) + pear + something sweet. Aquatic, icy-fruity, not citrusy. It is really "sky blue" scent, cool and soft. After 15 minutes it is slightly masculine (I get blue Carex soap vibe). Nice cologne for women.

Seductive indeed. On the right woman, this could make seduction completely effortless. Envision a cool February rain showering over Bulgarian Roses and Jasmine, brushed by Violet leaves then thinly masked with fruits and musk. This... is Blue Seduction.

Sweet, fruity, floral and, don't know why, I found it a little spicy. Love to smell it on my GF. The longevity and sillage are good, not excellent. Very good choice for summer at a fair price.

I find this one very similar to Nina, and for my surprise despite the actual price it doesn't smell cheap at all. I wear it a lot during the summer and I get many compliments then:D

I loooooove it! There's this aquatic mediterranean smell with some light fruit aroma behind it. Also, you can get different nuances as it lasts. It's really like a blue seduction!

My mother used to wear this one lately. I've lost her on April 3th. So I bought and apply on my pillow to sleep smelling her. It's nice. Sweet and aquatic. Not refreshing at all.

I swear this is a fresher version of Nina. I think they had the same nose behind them. Perfect for everyday wear. I think you cannot go wrong with Blue Seduction.
