Courreges In Blue Eau de Toilette

Aromatic, soft, long lasting(6h.) On my skin its getting even better after a few howers. Its perfect everyday/ office fragrance, can also be used at night. Its like a cashmir sweter- can wear it with silky skert or jeance - still elegant:) I cannot point on any speciffic notes her, its just aromatic- soft for me.

As a young girl way back in the 60`s I could only look on with amazement at the wonderful clothes that came from the House of Courreges. As a nurse in training my pay hardly stretched to basics let alone clothes or perfumes from this famous name. Fast forward many years and I am able at last to buy myself (within reason) what I want. I was eager to try some Courreges perfumes. While this is really nice it is also a big disappointment. I guess that I was expecting a big green perfume. On me this is a very soft one and I can hardly smell it unless I press my nose to my wrist. I even sprayed it on my sweater, alas it is a very faint perfume although fairly decent on longevity. I admit to feeling some what sad about this. If you are looking for a whisper of green then this may be for you. Sadly it is not for me. So glad it was inexpensive.

Being a lover of some Courreges fragrances...I just had to give the Blue a try. At first spray, I get an almost "chypre" scent....with the galbanum/aldehydes....very present. Herbally/aromatic in the middle...then in the drydown....IMO..the "blue" comes forward....with kind of freshy-powdery /soapy vibes...with the beginning notes underneath. Kind of classic type scent. Mine is the EDT shown exactly above, now I am curious about the EDP and/or the vintage original...???.... This EDT has decent performance also...which I was happy about.

This "re-incarnation" of the original" In Blue " is behaving nicely, she is shy and don't laugh out loud, I mean at all... So faint hearted faint smelled. When first sprayed it is happy and sparkling, give it 5 minutes and it will be just som expensive soap, or makeup kind of smells. I like it, actually I'm a big fan of soapy smells and this perfume speaks the language that I really understand and can communicate easily with....I find it romantic, it reminds me of tow favorite perfumes of mine that I also own :" Clea" by YvesRocher and "Lace" by Yardley. Edit: I gave it to my sister, she liked it more than I did.

A very soapy smell that really has nothing to do with the original version. I am rather disappointed by this reformulation. The only positive note is that the smell improves (a little) over the hours ...
