Bleu Deodorant 100ml
Odour control comes first in Chanel Bleu Deodorant 100ml and the famous scent comes second, which is the right order for a product of this kind. The fragrance it carries is the 2010 Jacques Polge composition, and in spray deodorant form you get a clean, bright, slightly smoky version of it. The top is citrus and cool: grapefruit with its pithy bitterness, lemon sharper beside it and mint laid across both, green and crushed rather than sweet, with pink pepper adding a dry tingle. Ginger and nutmeg hold the middle, warm and dusty, with jasmine rounding them off. What reaches the skin after that is the dry base, incense giving its thin, resinous smoke, vetiver and patchouli their earth, cedarwood and sandalwood a pale smooth wood, labdanum a sticky warmth and white musk a soft finish. It is recognisably the fragrance, just turned down several notches.
Used as intended it keeps you fresh through a working day and leaves a quiet trace of Bleu with it. It will not project and it will not last as the fragrance does, because a deodorant is formulated for the skin under your arms rather than for the room. Apply after a shower on dry skin, and spray the eau de toilette or eau de parfum separately if you want the scent to be part of how you are dressed. For men already settled on Bleu this is the obvious supporting purchase, and the 100ml can is a straightforward thing to keep in a gym bag or a desk drawer. It is also one of the cheaper ways into the line, if you want to know how the scent sits on your skin before buying a bottle.
The first Chanel scent reached the public in 1921 and the house has not been out of the fragrance business since. The company that produces it was formed in 1924, and the whole thing grew from a Paris millinery shop of 1910.
