Blue Dream

I received a sample in the mail today and the circumstances and packaging were so curious that I felt inspired to post about it. I genuinely don't remember buying this, although I do remember looking it up a few months ago after reading a review last year. Full disclosure: I definitely possibly could have ordered it while high and just forgot about it, but even so, I didn't find any evidence of such in my e-mails. Assuming that I did order it, gMail must have flushed my deleted receipt from my trash folder, which happens every 30 days, so that would mean that I ordered it over a month ago. Which is all to say that this review is definitely not an endorsement of Xyrena's customer service, because apparently it's not great. Unless I never ordered this and they just spontaneously sent it to me at random, in which case they're amazing. But anyway, the fragrance: As you may have gathered from the previous paragraph, I do indeed partake of cannabis occasionally, although I have not encountered the Blue Dream strain itself, so those are my... credentials. Whenever it comes to cannabis-based fragrances, everyone always wants to know "Well, does it really smell like weed?" I have a love/hate relationship with the smell of cannabis herb--the first time I smelled it, I physically recoiled, and now it's one of those things where I kind of enjoy the smell but I don't know why, because I don't really enjoy the terpene scent that always dominates the lemon or pine or whatever else it's allegedly supposed to smell like. Again, I haven't smelled the Blue Dream strain and the Xyrena version might be 100% accurate for all I know, in which case Blue Dream must be the best-smelling weed out there because Blue Dream (the fragrance) smells amazing. It has a deliciously sweet blueberry note that's blended really nicely with that terpene-y, slightly musky weed scent. It's pretty linear, but the weed-y aspect gets more subtle on the dry-down, with the blueberry note slightly dominating throughout. I love it. I can't stop smelling it. This is what I wish real weed smelled like. I don't know if someone would smell this on you and mistake it for actual weed, but the performance is verrrry good so people you walk past will definitely smell it. You might be able to say "Oh it's a Bath & Body Works blueberry-scented body spray, that's weird that it smells like dank bud to you" and they might believe you, I don't know. Anyway, that was longer than I meant it to be and I'm guessing that there are very few people on here who would have any interest in a true-to-life cannabis fragrance, but there you go. PS--For the record and for context, I don't like Black Afgano and I don't think it smells like weed. PPS--The creator of Blue Dream made an accompanying music video, which I assume is a first for the fragrance world. It's... okay. "You give me all the feels so let's keep it real..."

First and foremost, no, this does not smell like cannabis. Cannabis smells 1. skunky and 2. funky. I haven't encountered the skunky note in any scent, but Nasomotto's Black Afgano (which is designed after hash, a cannabis product) comes pretty close in the funkiness category. This scent however is extremely green. If you have ever smelled chopped up plants, be it in rose stems after being cut or lawn trimmings or while picking flowers, that dry metallic fresh green plant scent, it's got THAT almost exactly. And then it has a very prominent blueberry - somewhere between ripe blueberries and blueberry syrup. Very sweet and bright. All together this comes together nicely into a very unique scent, I can understand the cannabis inspiration because that dry green plant note does indeed have some form of sharpness and pungency that cannabis also has. But it does not smell like a fresh bag of the devil's lettuce, if that's what you're expecting. Which I mean... that's probably for the best, right? This is a great scent. It's an odd one, from a smaller house, not afraid to do something a bit weird and different. And I respect that. The longevity and silage are both reasonable. You're not going to run people out of the house with just a few sprays of this one, and you're not going to smell it after you shower. But it's noticeable and gets through most of the day. Wouldn't wear it in super hot temperatures, that would be gross. Would be fine in cold weather but probably wouldn't come through as nicely as warmer weather. Ideal for later summer / early fall. Scent - 8/10 Longevity - 7/10 Silage - 6/10 Value - 8/10 Overall - 7.25 / 10, definitely not an every day wear but not a bad one to have around if you're feeling something a bit out there.

Wawaweewa! Socks blown off! Caution: I tend to gravitate to extreme scents that are extremely unique - and this is definitely that. Ok - wet/juicy weed? Yes. Wet/juicy blueberry? Yes This is - without a doubt - the most realistic marijuana smell I've come across. This isn't one of those "cannabis in the background" - this is a blueberry blunt with sticky weed that has yet to be lit. I'm 100% certain that this is my absolute favorite fragrance to date. The blueberry is sticky and jammy - just like the cannabis! This is top notch, realistic, fantastic presentation - and for the price: king! Edit: I'm coming back to edit this with a more understandable review. Earlier, I described the blueberry as "jammy" - while that's ok, I think a more accurate description would be "sweet and tart" - almost like a blueberry icee. The cannabis note takes a backseat for the first minute or so, until the tart-sweetness calms down a bit. When the cannibis shines through, you get a very accurate sticky marijuana smell. This is not a skank smell. Its really smooth. For the first time, I smell a fragrance that is identical to what it's supposed to be. Although at first, the blueberry will be the star - it quickly takes a back seat to the sticky marijuana. 3 hours of projection on skin. I'd imagine it would carry longer if sprayed on clothing. With exception to the first 5 minutes, the fragrance stays fairly linear. The cannabis note becomes stronger over time, but the over all feel of the fragrance doesn't change. i dont smoke pot - but damn, this is a comforting/unique scent. What a fantastic scent. 8/10

This scent is wonderful. Especially for someone who smokes. Kind of smells like blueberry blunt wraps style blueberry with black pepper and green notes. I would love to buy this again. Unfortunately this company has no customer service so I couldn't contact anyone about my leaking bottle. It also took 8 weeks to receive the bottle. So after waiting 8 weeks and getting a leaking bottle and nobody to contact (and no free samples ) I'm good on that. Im hoping to find another blueberry scent this nice from another company i feel more comfortable supporting. Ps. How high is the review under me? Lol

Let me preface this and state it does not smell BAD, but the fact that it induced a headache for me will not make me like this fragrance, sorry. This has a clear effort to imitate highly synthetic marijuana, and I applaud them for it. It is not REALISTIC, but it has the essence, that 'stank'. There is a syrupy berry note to it as well. There's an audience for it, and there is a clear quality to the creation of this; definitely not my vibe though. No offense to this house or the people who partake in smoking the stuff, but I am kind of glad they decided to steer towards more of the concept of cinema-inspired fragrances.
