Blue Fire

A strawberry, fruity leather with the juniper and pepper dancing around the edges. This is going to sound weird, but to my nose, it smells like someone who is wearing a lavender based fougere type fragrance under their clothes and has come in from smoking a cigarette outside in the cold in their leather jacket and they tried to cover it up with a strawberry breath mint. In the best way possible. No smoke or tobacco, just that olfactory trigger. I love it. I get a Roja Elysium vibe in the opening that fades into a tingly, almost effervescent leather after about an hour.

smoke in the top, floral, sweet; so unique; leather, cardamon, musk and a very sweet note that isn't quite tart enough to feel like strawberry; this is like a spicy leather syrup; loving it; in the end, the sweetness tones down and it's a pure leather fragrance. I sort of wish it maintained its smoky and sweet aspects that made it so different; there's still a sweet edge in the base and it all blends but this is a leather fragrance

Happyland Fragrances Studio Blue Fire is an exuberant fizzy gin strawberry semi-spicy concoction. It’s effervescent, fun, a good mix of lightness and some heft, not too sweet for the sweet haters and not too obtrusive for those looking for something sweet and fresh, probably among the very freshest entries in the house to date, along with Barbershop and Green Irish Tobacco, and surely one worth of trying, like everything I’ve tried from the house to date. Uniqueness-wise, Blue Fire doesn’t really remind me of anything, even though there are scores of fragrances that approximate the smells of alcoholic beverages, so I do still wonder what the inspiration is behind it, so props to E.J. wells for his creativity! Priced at the standard $50 for 50ml / $35 for 30ml, Blue Fire is a good value, even if not quite as exception for some of the beastly juices in the Happyland catalogue that I prefer. 7 out of 10

Fresh leather coated with a very tart, if not somewhat synthetic, blue raspberry-ish glaze. The soft, gentle suede effervesces with powdery iris, fizzy gin bubbles, and piquant pink pepper. A bright and playful fruity leather scent. Moderately strong projection fades over ~3hr, longevity 8-10hr. The seemingly intentional syntheticness and soft, sparkling suede immediately brings to mind MAB Ganymede. Similar in concept, anyway, though the scent is its own. Sadly, it's the only "vaulted" Happyland fragrance.

This is a soft like. Kind of a strange fragrance. A few internet blogs say this is fresh but I don't get that.
