Tag-Him

Hi Friends, To give you perspective, in this genre, my beastly best friend is Mont Blanc Legend Intense. I checked the smells like Chanel Bleu but I didn't check the Perry Ellis (which I own). It does smell slightly similar to Perry but only vaguely. I'd say Perry is closer to BdC in the opening, if that's what you're looking for, but if you want a standalone fragrance that's great from top to base, Tag is awesome. As for tag, I blind bought because I really wanted to try a UAE frag (though my batch was made in France), it was affordable (30 CAD$) from a local Toronto based frag shop and because BdC smells better on friends than me. I bought Perry Ellis too for almost the same reasons, but have lost interest 1 year later because it makes me sneezy then disappears. My first attempt at Tag failed. I had sprayed it and an hour later met my wife and sister in law - they both said I smelled like a mature woman immediately. I tried it again today and I'm a few hours in, and my wife said it smelled great. Opening is really nice, it's like citrusy woody blast but moves away from the BdC/Legendy vibe very quickly on my skin because ginger and mint kick this into a softer fresh scent. Based on the opening and as it dries, this will be fantastic for summer nights and spring days. The patchouli and woody base comes in after the 3rd hour and it smells fantastic, it's balanced by some freshness that's carried over by the minty gingery citrus and made damp by the vetiver. Overall, the last in this genre I will buy - (I was thinking of Jimmy Chooman but this does the job much nicer). It's fresh and it's contemporary for sure. It lasts on clothes and blends with the skin nicely. It's a "like very much" for me and a happy purchase. Coming up for christmas, Club de Nuit Intense. The richness in this simple fragrance makes me curious about what armaf can do with the notes listed for CDNI.

Ive never tried Bleu de Chanel, so ill judge this on its own. I love it. Its a really good scent, fresh, a little bit sweet, very versatile. I can see this working anywhere anytome. It is probably not the best at anything, but its good at everything. Mass appealing, and very cheap so you can overspray without guilt and use for everyday use. Its going to be my new signature everyday scent, because of how good and cheap it is, and ill keep the more expensive/special ones for specific situations. It wouldnt be worth it if it was more expensive, as there are better performing scents out there, but its a great dumb reach do it all. With 3-4 sprays you can smell it for 4-6 hours, then becomes a skin scent so it needs reapplying. EDIT: After trying BDC i can say its very similar, but with lower quality and performance. Non fragheads won't be able to tell the difference unless smelled side by side. For the price its worth it.

Great for the price. I'm not a very picky person but to me this stuff is a great alternative to BdC. If you are trying to save on BdC this is a great budget spray that essentially is at least 80% the same. The opening is harsh but dries down to be pretty close to Bleu, if anything it'll smell a bit more soapy than BdC, meanwhile Bleu dries down to a bit more sweeter, but as I said. If you are not very precise and picky you won't pick up on it. Performance is good, it actually lasts about 6 hours if not more. My decant of BdC didn't last as long as the Armaf. Great buy for the price. You can get it for under 20 in some sites. I'd substitute this when you want that BdC likeness but not very important to be using up the good stuff.

I blind bought this perfume and at first I was kinda skeptical. Smelled interesting to say the least. There was one note that was so agressive it made me nauseous. But after I spray it on me - it's heaven. Perfect smell, masculine, woody with a twist of citurs and I must say it surprised me a lot. My gf loves it and so do I. Might just become my signature fragrance. Absolutely worth a try, price is awesome for 100ml so i would recommend it. But note this - you might not like it at first, so dont spray it on a piece of paper or in the air - spray it directly on you and then you will see it's true potential.

Opening, nothing like BDC at all. Maybe 30-50%? Not close. After 1-2 hours, then the similarity kicks in, I'd say 60-70% similiar. However, after 2 hours, performance isn't as good anymore, it's almost skin scent. But if you sniff closely, it does resembles BDC. I'm not saying it smells bad, in fact, it smells great, just that it's not BDC. For the price, I'd reapply every 2 hours. 3 Sprays before I leave the house (1 back of neck, 2 on shoulders), then 1 spray every 2 hours back of my neck. If you don't keep applying every 2 hours, your scent bubble would be within only 1 foot.
