Courreges In Blue Eau de Parfum

It's a long time since I bought this perfume blindly, at first I was very disappointed, I thought it smelled like an old drawer, or closet, I was thinking of selling it, but than things changed after I have been sniffing it several times, and in fact it grew on me and smells wonderful on my skin, and somehow it reminds me of my old and so much wanted Armani for her, and yes, it is the galbanum!! To me, first came the lavender, and than the galbanum, and than the moss and so the ginger. I can't detect any of the other notes. I also think this is a very mature fragrance, and unisex, and I think it fits perfect for layerings. In it's class I give it solid 9 out of 10 points. And, I can only recommand it for lavender and galbanum lovers :))

The summer heat has arrived too early and with a vengeance - 3 days of well over 100 degrees starting today with no real cool down in sight. This is a definite sign of global warming - this kind of weather, if it happened at all, used to come in late August/early September. The heat has just amplified my pleasure in wearing this perfume!! It is crisp but deep, it lasts on my skin and clothing. I love catching whiffs of it from time to time during the day. For once I prefer the remake over the original - which was, on me, mostly nothing. A wonderful rebirth!!

I love it! To me it smells very dynamic, at the same time it is warm and a bit flirty. I would say it is a typical Aries Zodiac sign perfume, good for someone who likes to be on the go and leave a strong but warm impression. Idk about the vintage version, but the new bottle (the intensely blue one like in the main image) is really fine. To me the main accent feels lavender and chamomile, which are nicely matching, and the aldehyde gives those a fresh and strong kick!

This is the only perfume in my collection that I can associate with a color from the start... blue! Deep blue like the bottle... like the blue hour with infinite sky above!

What an interesting perfume! The initial blast it very herby and woodsy, like you are in a northern forest in early autumn, with plenty of deciduous trees and moss, as well as cedar and fir. After about 4 minutes, it changes completely, into a scent of water. In particular, running water. You have come across a stream with a small waterfall, hence the "blue". I'm not sure at all how the designers made this smell like running water, but that's the vibe I get. Once it dries further, it turns more traditionally feminine, and soapy. Now you're bathing in the little stream, and maybe washing your clothes as well. This one is very different from anything else I've smelled. The opening is reminiscent of Giorgio Red without the sandalwoody vibe. The middle smells like nothing else I know. The full dry down is Dove soap.
