THE FACTS BEHIND THE ICON

What makes this the signature scent of timeless masculine elegance? Here’s what every sophisticated man discovered…

THE MAGNETIC PRESENCE CATEGORY

“Does this actually make me more commanding and memorable?”

FACT: Bleu de Chanel contains grapefruit, lemon, mint, ginger, jasmine, and vetiver – a masterful blend that creates instant attraction

Research finding: It made me feel like the man I aspire to be, strong and focused, but also patient and kind hearted. My wife really loved it

The mechanism: Fresh citrus commands attention while woody base notes create lasting impression

Real talk: You smell like success – confident, refined, and utterly magnetic

Fun fact: Bleu de Chanel became Chanel’s bestselling men’s fragrance within just two years of launch.

THE SIGNATURE SOPHISTICATION CATEGORY

“How do I smell distinguished without being overwhelming?”

FACT: Top notes are Grapefruit, Lemon, Mint and Pink Pepper; middle notes are Ginger, Nutmeg, Jasmine and Iso E Super; base notes are Incense, Vetiver, Cedar, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Labdanum and White Musk

The process: Opens with some nice subtle citrus and a gingery note that gives it a fresh oriental spice. Unlike many other colognes, this one doesn’t scream at you for the first 5 minutes

Translation: Fresh, clean and profoundly sensual, the woody, aromatic fragrance that works for all seasons or occasions

Bonus effect: It’s everything Dylan Blue, Polo Sport, Polo Blue, Sauvage, and Armani Profumo can’t be: nearly perfect and intentional

Fun fact: Created by master perfumer Jacques Polge, this fragrance took over 100 trials to achieve the perfect balance.

THE PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE

“Will this last all day or fade like amateur fragrances?”

FACT: The Eau De Toilette lasts for 6-8 hours while the Eau De Parfum and Parfum ones continue up to 12 hours on the skin

Performance Timeline:

• EDT Version: 6-7 hours indoors with decent sillage and longevity
• EDP Version: At least 8 hours with moderate projection
• Parfum Version: 10 hours longevity with medium projection, radiates within 6 feet for the first 4 hours

Performance advantage: Performance improves as you go higher in the concentrations, I personally get 12 hours with the parfum

Fun fact: The Parfum concentration uses sandalwood from sustainable sources, making it both luxurious and environmentally conscious.

THE ULTIMATE VERSATILITY

“Can I wear this from boardroom to black-tie events?”

• Date nights: Decent longevity, and is versatile enough to use throughout the day on most occasions

Fun fact: Chanel designed three different concentrations specifically to match different occasions and preferences.

THE DISTINCTIVENESS MASTERY

“How is this different from every other blue fragrance?”
