Aoud Blue Notes

My first official Signature scent!! This juice is amazing..Truly personifies who I am..Powdery clean (ylang ylang violet), extreme depth (amber patchouli), with a mysterious edge (leather oud)!! I actually threw out some of my older lesser utilized fragrances after smelling this..I've decided I dont want anything in my arsenal that's not on this level..That's how amazing this stuff is..Performance is off the charts and although prior reviewers have stated sillage or projection is moderate I couldn't disagree more!! I was actually coming out of an elevator & walked to my car, about 10 minutes later a guy walks up to my window and motioned me to lower it,I was a bit startled because this is NYC at like 4:00 in the a.m..I responded a little aggressive because I didnt know his intentions and he said with no shame I just had to find out what the hell is the name of that fragrance you're wearing..lol I cracked up told him the full name as he input into his phone..I would say sillage is monstrous..Love this scent , it is my signature it's now my theme smell..10 out of 10 in all categories and best in cooler weather..Mancera is changing the game frag lovers get on board theres numerous offerings to choose from.

When I first smelled this, the word “BLUE” immediately popped into my head. Obviously, the fragrance has Blue in the name, which almost plants the idea in your mind right from the opening blast. It’s a bit like when someone says, “don’t think of a pink elephant” you can’t help but picture it. There’s definitely oud here, not natural oud, but a convincing synthetic that gets the job done. It’s paired with a sweet, almost bubble-gum vibe that likely comes from the fruity-floral notes in the composition. Performance and projection are moderate; it’s certainly not beast mode like its cousin Aoud Lemon Mint. Overall, this is a pleasant fragrance, provided you enjoy oud. If you’re already familiar with the Montale/Mancera oud DNA, you won’t find any surprises. My wife and daughter both gave it a thumbs-up, and my wife even mentioned a few times how much she liked it. I’d rate this 7/10. It’s blind-buy safe, but personally I’d go for Aoud Lemon Mint, which feels more unique and performs better.

Just received today. I find this really unique. It has a high concentration because my skin is glossy for 20 minutes after I spray it. It starts off with a beast mode projection blast of fruits and citrus along with ylang ylang. Sadly the fragrance dies down within an hour to a 3 inch projection. I bought this because I thought it would be strong and long lasting. I wanted to like it so much because the fragrance itself is amazing. This is the niche equivalent to dior sauvage, better blended, and somewhat generic with a twist of ylang uniqueness. I am just disappointed because I love the bottle and the fragrance, but it just doesn't last. If people don't smell me, then in my book I've wasted money. Great addition to your collection as liquid art though. If this lasted and projected like cedrat boise, then I would hype this to the max. 5 stars for uniqueness and overall scent 2 stars for projection 3 stars for longevity

Powdery and slightly fruity sweet and fresh, there's like almost a Dr.Pepper quality to this smell and I'm not sure where this is coming from. But very gentle and loving, one of the better ones so far from Mancera. I will compare it to its sibling Lemon Mint. Blue notes is decidedly sweeter, less creamy and more juicy for lack of a better term, there's definitely a similar quality to them but they are not redundant. I'm not getting a very distinct orris presence, not like a super powdery orris like in Givenchy Gentlemen, but it could be some of the powdery qualities I'm experiencing. Longevity is very good as usual with Mancera, lasted all through a gym session A+, projection is more muted compared to Lemon Mint. Fruity sweet and clean, all year round, leaning a bit more feminine than Lemon Mint but still unisex enough to wear it with confidence. It's the more mysterious cousin to Aoud Lemon Mint. A+

One of the major ways that perfume can be interpreted as art is the complexity of the feelings and images it can convey to you. Indeed, many perfumers are given a brief to follow when designing a perfume which usually involves creative visions or stories rather than a scientific breakdown of notes. I didn’t fully appreciate what it meant for a fragrance to be blue but this one has taught me well. It transports me onto a Mediterranean summer holiday. There’s a saltiness which represents the sea breeze and a fruitiness representing the bottomless fruit cocktails on tap. The powerful woody backbone is the wooden deck chair baking in the heat of the sun’s rays. The imagery I get with this is very vivid. There’s as real niche playfulness about this perfume, one of the best Mancera has to offer. I don’t hear much talk about this one, which makes it extremely underrated. 10/10

It’s crazy how we all experience fragrances differently. I saw alot of people say that this one is very close to Aoud Lemon Mint so I got a decant of it since I love Aoud Blue Notes. I’m not going to tell anyone what they did or did not experience but to me they aren’t even remotely similar. I must have smelled them side by side,off and on,for hours and I just couldn’t understand where people were coming from. If you look at the note breakdown as well they aren’t really similar at all. I did watch an influencer video where he made the comparison and I’m wondering if people are just parroting him. I see a lot of that in the fragrance community. Anyways, my point being, if you didn’t like Aoud Lemon Mint or you did don’t base your decision for trying Aoud Blue Notes on that one.I personally couldn’t stand Aoud Lemon Mint and Aoud Blue Notes is my second favorite Mancera.

I bought it today it is a summer fragrance to me, but what I say I love aquatic and sea notes, first of all don't caught by the name there is no oud note here at all. the opening is citrusy, fruity, fresh, and aquatic like a blast of sea breeze, but all that subsides down by the woddy notes, amber, leather, patchouli after a twenty minutes or less depends on the amount of sprays, the drydown is pleasing I smell woddy,sweety notes like vanilla and fruit, and a little bit citrusy. so since it is Mancera that we are talking about it is known for its beast mode longevity and sillage, but for this one the longevity is weak to moderate, also sillage is soft to moderate maybe because most of the notes originally are not heavy or long lasting notes especially the citrusy notes. scent: 8/10 longevity: 7/10 sillage: 6/10 overall: 8/10

I wasn't expecting much from this. Upon sampling, I immediately fell in love with this. At first it reminded me of a cool breeze and sweet water. The fruity notes are not cloying, but just enough to make it pleasantly inviting. Some citrus sits behind it all and a woody base drives the whole thing. There is a powdery note that comes in during the mid. All the notes balance perfectly. Extremely office safe and mass appealing. I've been layering this with Cool Water Intense and I love the combo. I'm making Blue Aoud note my signature scent as it can be worn daily, will not offend, and is unique among the fragrance world. No one you know will be wearing anything like this. Again, I fell in love with it upon first sample and bought a bottle then and there and I've been enjoying it all day.

To me, this smells like a niche interpretation of Paco Rabanne's signature "bubblegummy" goodness, with a bit of underlying clean laundry freshness. This stuff is just happiness. Pure "feel-good" type stuff, and I'm here for it. This is very similar to the sweet-floral base of Aoud Lemon Mint, but without the oud, lemon, or mint, if that makes any sense... 😅 More than anything though, this smells like the long discontinued 1 Million "Intense" flanker, but without the cinnamon and with less overpowering rose. I've been wearing this for the last 3 days straight to come to that conclusion. They probably don't smell as similar side-by-side, but they do share most of the same notes! Moderate projection, but GREAT longevity. This one gets a HUGE thumbs up from me!

I got this in TESTER bottle with magnetic cap for cheap. At first, I blind buy this bc the bottle have nice color. But after smelling it, its really caught my attention. Its opening is sweet heavy floral. After 30sec, I can smell the powdery notes emerge, and it reminds me like an expensive baby powder. It really have a relaxing and soothing feeling. Bear in mind this lean more towards feminine side but Im a man and still rocking this with tons of compliment. If you like powdery fragrance, this is worth blind buy. *Edit: I casually layered this with SF Uomo Signature and it blows my mind. It compliment each other very well. It became powdery, slightly floral and dark leathery fragrance with super projection and longevity in cool weather. Beautiful mix.

I didn't like it the first time is smelled it. But few days later I spray it on my skin and I fell in love with it. The opening is very strong fruit notes and I know its the aoud that making it stronger. And it takes a while to settle down. Projection is very strong to my nose. one spray can fill the whole room . So I recommend not to overspray in one section. Two spray will last about 12 hours on my skin. Awesome performance. I really like the dry down which becomes less potent but still projecting. Its also a bit feminine to me I can detect slight of the leather but not strong. Another great fragrance by mancera. I think this can be an all season fragrance. Its strong and potent.

Though I like this fragrance and I agree with what has already been said concerning it becoming a "skin scent" after a couple of hours this fragrance is the younger, baby, brother to "Oudmazing" by Montale which has the longevity and sillage of LIFE!!! That being said there's no reason for me to purchase this because of the 2 bottles of Oudmazing I have. Fast forward... since I first posted this I have changed my mind after purchasing this and wearing it for a couple of months. It is very different than Oudmazing (though scent-wise they are in the same family) and the longevity and projection is about the same as Oudmazing and I love this frag more and more with each wearing.

If you're looking for a blue fragrance, look elsewhere. If you're looking for another beast-mode fragrance similar to Aoud Lemon Mint, again, look elsewhere; Aoud Blue is a subtler EDP that goes in a different, fruitier and floral direction. It's very pleasant, leans masculine, with moderate projection, but like a good Mancera it lasts the whole day, and it's well suited for use at the office, and in warmer weather. Edit: I recently wore it again for the first time in months. Very tenacious on clothes, very synthetic, very sweet, and not precisely in a good way. EDIT 2: For best results, spray moderately. This fragrance will become cloying when oversprayed.

Its similar to Aoud lemon mint which I own, but less creamy and no almond. Again there's some similarities, but they are not siblings more like 1st cousins. As far as scent profile goes, I prefer blue notes. The reason I got Aoud Lemon mint is because although I like blue notes slightly better, lemon mint performs better. It projects more, and it has better longevity. Don't get me wrong, blue notes isn't lackluster overall in performance but is compared to ALM. I would definitely be up for picking it up if I get a discount or deal even though I own ALM because they aren't clones, and I do like what blue notes brings.

How smooth and wonderful is this Frag! whew , what a great one. Very deep very smooth a touch a blue. Still one of my favorite scents out of my collection. Unique , doesn't get annoying, great lasting. This is one of those frags for me that takes me to another place in my mind. Actually mellows me out. Ive realized that I do not like Oud frags , they give me a headache. Not with this though, its done so tasteful and smooth plus subtle. Slight leather, citrus / orange with patchouli smells designer for sure and like the inside of a very classy department store next to the Italian dress shoes section.

this is very unique. on my skin the oud dominates and yet it is still fresh. this is truly a warm weather oud scent. its bright yet dark. this is awesome for the summer heat. projection and longevity are good. for about 2 hours it projects like a beast but after that it slowly dies to a skin scent. around the 7 hour mark its pretty much gone. this is one i'll keep in my collection. its masculine to my nose and very well done. slightly powdery, slightly fruity, but the oud is the star! i just wish it had the performance i get with oud lemon mint which seems to never to away. all in all i'd say 9/10

Aoud Blue Notes smells blue! It’s fruity and fun! It smells like a blue alien planet to me! It’s a little powdery and ambery but it’s mostly fruity and oudy with some patchouli and vanilla. It’s quite complex yet blended really well. It’s a fun casual day-time fragrance where you can wear it to daytime events or just casually. I love it! I really should wear it more. I really get in a mood to wear it! And I think it can definitely be worn all year round too! Performance is great with strong sillage and it lasts for hours on my (usually) fragrance eating skin! ✨✨✨

Underrated. Every time I spray this it puts a smile on my face. If you have tried aoud lemon mint, or xerjoff's comandante, this is in the same realm. I own those other fragrances which is the only reason I haven't picked up Aoud blue notes but if I am going to be honest I prefer this to Aoud Lemon mint but not looking to pay another 80-100 bucks. That being said, I think this fragrance is fantastic, my only criticism is that the longevity could be better, it projects for the first hour and goes into skin scent for the next 5-6 hours or so.

For any oud lover, this is the answer to wearing Oud in the heat. Yes, you certainly can spray on oud during the summer, but does it go well...let's be real. I once spritz for a test of Vince Camuto Smoked Oud, and my arm smelled Biblical for the next 5 hours. This is cool, and eliminates the oud in heat concern. I don't get the candy vibe others mentioned. The bright citrus, and lake water scents hit first, while the oud sits in the background calmly. This is worth a test, and one to consider buying.

If someone wants to buy this but doesn’t know what it smells like let me describe for you .. first this is my favorite mancera fragrance and in my top 5 fragrances ever !! Imagine le beau le parfum if it was a niche fragrance with more depth .. definitely reminds of that one same guaiac wood note and iris .. but this one has leather and mandarin plus violet .. you can smell all the notes at once .. if you like le beau le parfum smell you will enjoy this one but definitely still not a safe blind buy
