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.

I'm not smelling BdC concurrently alongside this, so I cannot attest to how accurate of a dupe it truly is it isn't. But I absolutely can detect the resemblance. It has a fresh, aromatic green tone to it. Quite masculine in the opening. Bracing and herbaceous. This is quite an energizing fragrance, but chic as well. And...well, it's refreshing to smell something that isn't overly sweet. I enjoy sweet things of course, but it's nice to experience a fragrance that remains crisp. This is laced with spice, but none of them shout. I have the same feeling I always do with BDC; which is that this is a notably balanced composition. As this dries it does reveal a softer (but not overly plushy) woody backbone. Still, I smell the ginger though. Instead of a candied, sugary ginger; it's earthy, root-y and warm. Almost sunned. It's also quite dry in tone, and reminds me greatly of Coco Mademoiselle. Now...please don't misunderstand me, this does NOT lean feminine (in fact, I don't feel at home in it as a woman personally, I prefer things a bit more femme or unisex), but it is absolutely Coco Mademoiselle's twin fraternal brother. BdC and CM are of great family resemblance (which is a compliment in my book). I like them both. They both feel exceptionally reliable, chic, classy, but also energetic. Overall this is slightly less smooth than I recall BdC being, though it's still a decent option.

Dont tell people im wearing a dupe! but the deal on this was too good I had to pick it up. Yeah it smells like BDC maybe a little brighter but the longetivity is like 30% less. Smells real good, really affordable, would buy it if you dont want to spring for BDC, super blind buy safe. Also its got a magnetic cap and pressurized atomizer, nice touch.

In the opening you get a nice bitter, lemon zest note. In the drydown it transitions into a more woody and familiar scent. Whether or not this is a 1-for-1 of BDC EDT or not, its a really nice, clean, masculine smell.

Very decent fragrance and can easily be purchased on sale for ~$20. I haven't smelled BDC, but the initial spray is reminiscent of Dylan Blue, but fades into a nice gingery and citrus scent. Quality is really good for the price, projection is good for the first 1-2 hours in heat/warmth and slightly better in cooler or air-conditioned areas for about 2-4, and afterwards sits moderately close to the skin but is still noticeable up close for upwards of 8-12 hours. Most reviews I've seen have said that it's a close(ish) recreation and for at least 1/5th the price of the original it gets the job done.

Smells kind of like Bleu de Chanel when sprayed on paper, but on skin, even less so. Super strong, even one spray can be overwhelming. This perfume smells like a department store -- all the smells, all at once -- from the cosmetic counters, the carpets, the racks of clothing and shoes. Not terrible, just gives an uncanny feeling of being a walking embodiment of a Macy's or Nordstroms (if you're in the US).

This smells nothing like bleu de Chanel. It smells like minty watery breath spray. Do not buy it
