Citrus Ginger

Inspired by: Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum (lighter, more citrus-forward take) Longevity - 4–6 hours average Projection - First hour: moderate Mid: light scent bubble Late: close to skin Not a strong projector Weather Suitability - Best: Spring / Summer / daytime ☀️ Ideal: work, gym, errands Not for cold weather or nights [ The Opening ] Lemon, Bergamot, Ginger, sharp citrus burst Experience: bright lemon and bergamot noticeable ginger spice slightly fizzy freshness First impression: clean, sharp citrus with a spicy kick [ The Heart ] Neroli, Aromatic Notes, clean floral freshness Experience: smoother and less sharp neroli adds a clean, slightly soapy floral tone citrus still present but toned down First impression: fresh shower-clean with light floral brightness [ The Dry Down ] Woods, Musk, clean masculine base Experience: soft woods, clean musk, slightly warm but still fresh Final stage: clean woody skin scent with a fresh edge Imagine the Smell - You step out of the shower and catch a burst of fresh citrus, lemon and bergamot hitting your senses instantly, bright and energizing. Then a spicy ginger note kicks in, adding a little heat to the freshness, keeping it from feeling boring. As it settles, it becomes a clean, soft woody scent, like fresh clothes, clean skin, and a subtle masculine edge that stays close.

Very pleasant freshie. Opens up with a combination of citrus and ginger. Woods and incense in the drydown. Also has this soapy vibe throughout (in a good way). Projection is pretty moderate. Longevity is around 8 hours. I'll spray this on in the morning and can still smell it on my skin after work. As far as value goes, I found this on clearance at Walmart for $11 (50 ML) so I can't complain. Even at $30 retail, I'd say you're still getting a nice bang for your buck. It's a nice fragrance by itself. As a clone to BDC I it's actually fairly close to the EDT, at least to my nose. It has all the notes but just isn't blended as well.

I don't own BDC so I cant confirm whether its a 1:1 copy, but this fragrance is fantastic on its own disregarding that its trying to be a dupe You get this citrusy, minty scent at the start and when it dries down you can smell a lot of the more woody notes and the ginger, the smell you get is not offensive but not boring either Longevity is pretty decent, same with the strength of the scent, as for occasions for wearing, I feel like you could wear this at literally any time, any season, its a great all-rounder scent For the price its a great fragrance, worth a buy if you're looking for a good, all occasions frag

90% BdC, I was super surprised by the great quality of this one for $30. Very fresh and citrusy, and while you'd expect the performance to not be very good for a fresh fragrance, it's actually fairly decent. Only downside is the basic ass bottle, but even so, the magnetic cap and pressurized atomizer make it seem like more of an intended minimalist design.

Besides the comparison with Bleu de Chanel, Citrus Ginger is a very nice perfume in its own. I would describe it as a smooth version of Bleu, the mint as quite noticeable at first, more so than the citrus. Then it turns into a clean scent.
