dang gent, you totally missed the opportunity to put on the thumbnail "Which Bleu for Yeu"
He edited the thumbnail cuz of u 💀💀
Went with the EDP when I first got into fragrances. Fell in love with it. One of the most versatile scents I have out of 200+.
This is a terrific topic. Thank you
Thank you sir, I've been looking for this exact video from you lately 👍
Accidentally bought the EDT but it's alright, I wanted this for like over 5 years when I was in college. When I started working full time, I'm slowly collecting my dream collection
Tried the EdP in the store the other day. Fell in love with it instantly. The Parfum is also great, but I seriously doubt I'd buy it, because it's more of a formal setting type frag for me, and I don't attend functions like that often. The EdP just smelt really great and I feel like it's going to be the most versatile of the three.
I wore the edp for a while and just caught a wiff of the Parfum... I loved it... great video as always.
I have all 3 and my SOTD is BDC edt. I forgot how much I love this stuff. Just a very pleasant fragrance.
All 3 are awesome, the most sophisticated one is the Parfum🔥🔥🔥
Very detailed and quite informative ! Valuable review of Bleu de Chanel line !
The edt was love at first sniff for me. Tried all 3 on skin, still my favorite. It's also perfect as I have sweeter fragrances for the colder weather and I don't tend to reach for the BdC. For me it works. As for pricing, I bought it at TheBay in Canada during one of these "purchase for 150$ and get a 50$ gift card", pretty much the only way to get a "sales" price (that 50$ went to a bottle of Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privee, which is my winter fragrance).
I bought the Parfum back when I really didn't know much about fragrances. I'm not upset with my purchase, although I don't wear it much. I find it very stuffy. I do appreciate the complexity of the scent. It's very strong and the dry down is very nice, although a little too peppery for my taste. I only wear this during formal events when I want a very tasteful scent that will endure for several hours. In retrospect, the EDP probably would have been a better personal choice.
The Parfum version is my favorite out of all my entire collection. This is the one above all for me.
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm a fan of this line and have a blessed day
The way you explain in your videos is perfect.
Fell in love the whole range the 1st time I tested it a little over a year ago. But for some reason or another been pushing back. Mostly because of the price. The owner of one of the fragrance discouter stores told me that Chanel controls the retail price tightly. Not that much discount from the departmental stores. That was until my fragrance guy hooked me up with the parfum for less than half the price. Wife loves it too. It goes into the 'special occasions' rotation. 😊😊😊
Edt is perfect for me. The ladies love it and it has the most layers for me.
Just picked up EDP and man it's amazing. Why did I wait so long juice is great!
was just about to get another blue frag and was thinking abt BDC. so happy you made a vid abt it!!
The Parfum is my personal favorite. I have tried all three and they're all great but the parfum is just has more depth and maturity.
I just purchase the blue de Chanel parfum today. I'm wondering if I should have went with the EDT Parfum.😮
Edp has this nice cooling effect from the mint on your skin. Parfum is warm n relaxing.
I first had the EDT many years back and finished the bottle, then got a larger bottle of the EDP which I initially really liked but then I would smell it on so many other people at work, in fact it is the only fragrance I have ever owned (out of about 250 fragrances that I have owned) that I have smelt on the most number of people at work. This made me lose interest in it. I then bought the Parfum which projects a little less (than the EDP,) which is ideal for my work place, but lasts longer.
The EDP is essential. The Parfum is so elegant most likely the best blue drag in the designer realm.
The parfum is the most tropical and smoldering. Reminds me of Hawaii. Pineapples and ocean volcanoes. Also the most sweet- the only BDC with tonka. It's definitely complex and polarizing. I prefer the EDP because of its mature simplicity for daytime wear.
I love these line guide videos. You should make some more!
BDC Parfum for the win. It just so deep, rich, & sophisticated.
I have all three flankers of bleu de chanel. The EDT and EDP are my personal favorites and the parfum is awesome as well. The parfum is denser and more powerful but the EDP is more floral which i prefer as i love masculine floral type scents
How is the projection and how long does it last? Let’s say the EDT
I bought the Parfum on accident and was in love ever since. Have the parfum and EDP and can definitely appreciate the EDP. But the parfum for me is my all time favorite scent even in my 30+ bottles of colognes.
Absolutely. It smell gorgeous. Nothing quite like it in the market.
Abdolutely and the performance is tops💪
prada luna rossa ocean edt gives me a similar vibe but of course i love me my big bottle of bdc parfum, the best from the line BY FAR.
The same happens to me, I just said the most concentrated one, so the store person gave me this...and I absolutely love it.
Just bought the parfum by mistake instead of the edp let’s hope it’s the same for me 🤣
A few years back when I first started collecting and was in my Blue phase, I was in the which Bleu dilemma. I eventually went Parfum. Refinement is how I’d describe it. Since then the collection has grown to 200 and 8 other Blues. So far the Parfum is my only Bleu but if I do get another it would probably be the edt just because it’s farther away from the Parfum 🇨🇦
The EDT is the best smelling imo. I have the Parfum and the EDP as well. EDT was my favorite scent back in 2019 but since then I barely reach for any of my bleu’s. TBH I find myself reaching for one of my 4 Sauvages. 😯
Great breakdown Ash! If I had to choose one, it would be the edp.
Thanks for your tip❤
The Parfum is worth it. My bottle has lasted me FOREVER!
50 ml or 100 ml?
Same! Parfum is just incredible. Its expensive, but seriously one of the best quality colognes I’ve ever had. I was lucky enough to be gifted the 150ml! It really does last forever! I’ve worn it many times, and it barely has a dent in it! Parfum for the win! 💯
@@riggy187i want friends like yours that gift you 150ml of bdc
@@riggy187how is the projection?
@@N0Motion lol! My father gifted it to me for my birthday awhile back haha! Still though, I feel very lucky and grateful haha
For my taste, the winer from Blue de Chanel is EDT. Nice review, Ash!
I’d go for the EDP best of the best.
Just got the EDP and it’s amazing just wish it had better longevity. Definitely considering getting the EDT as a backup!
Thank you Ash, this video dropped just in time. Tested EdP and Parfum two days ago. EdT is just too sharp and nowadays copied to death. I like that EdP still remains the freshness and shower gel vibe (in the best most flattering sence possible) of the EdT with refined edges, but man... The Parfum is something else. As you said... it is still BdC, but it is thick and it behaves differently on a skin. It is so smooth and lively through the whole time. You dont get this from a 30 dollar clone. And the gold text on the bottle. Such a small touch but in my opinion it just makes the bottle look so much classier and more expensive.
The Parfum is the best smelling to me by a little and highest quality but in my opinion it is not worth the markup in price over the EDP. The EDP is a little more versatile too. The EDT is a work sent only to me in these days now.
i dont smell many fragrances that smell like bleu de chanel at all
love the parfum
It's true ! Blue de chanel is a blind buy for any man. Personally, I like ' Edu de Perfum' ,the pefum version is slightly more refined and not much different.
Having owned the Parfum and tried the EDP, with BDC for me, the EDT is the best one! 😅 i love the freshness and tanginess. EDP and Parfum are more sophisticated especially the Parfum which is a bit powdery as well Though I have noticed a considerable downgrade in the current batches as compared to my old 2016 EDT BDC... 😢
EDT is perfect for Hot weather!
Bleu de Chanel Elixir maybe? I still like the scent but got bored of it a few years ago so don't have it in my small collection anymore. I'm thinking to repurchase the EDT because I really love the freshness of it as well as the Parfum for those cooler days. Elixir would be nice to be released. I'm a big fan of Dior Sauvage Elixir and want to see if Chanel can get any close to Elixir in terms of making a more mature, refined compliment beast version of Bleu. Great guide Ash!
I have the EDT and the parfum. It works great to me. I've I had choose. I'd go for the parfum version.
EDP is my SOTD!
Picked parfum and edp up on sale in europe (a famous french cosmetics retailer) for 30% off each. 150ml for 135 dollars each. Worth EVERY PENNY.
edp is the best for me, parfum is great but i feel it's more for formal setting
The EDP is by far the one I'd pick 9 out of 10 times
I'm a newbie when it comes to perfumes, but Blue de Chanel was the first one that got me interested and inspired me to seek out other perfumes.. So thanks for this video!
aww a new comer to the frag community. welcome and dont get addicted and spend thousands of dollars and hours on colognes/perfumes
@@kpdapoo1066 that’s the unfortunate inevitable
I started with BDC years ago and went down the rabbit hole. Had I known then what I know now, I would have just stuck with BDC. It would have saved me well over $1k, easily. You don't have to listen to me but if you do, you will save a tremendous amount of time and money. Get all three variations of BDC and your fragrance collection is complete. And, you can be confident that no matter which variation you happen to be wearing at any given moment, it's better than anything else anyone around you is wearing. Plain and simple. It is classy, timeless, and gets a lot of complements. You might find something comparable, but nothing replaces it. I paid about $47 for a 100 ml bottle of Dylan Blue and that's probably the closest challenger to it for a blue fragrance that gets a lot of complements...
@@User_1170how about Bleu EDP + YSL Y Intense for different situations?
The best fragrance ever!
i got the 150ml parfum as a birthday present and i love it
Before my nose was trained, I didn't think any of them were anything special. Now I'm addicted to the parfum. I normally don't like powdery facets but it's blended so well into this that I can only be impressed.
I feel that way about ralphs club parfum. Very powdery but at the moment it is in my top 3
This is powdery??? 😒😒
@@a.d.c7941nope it's not
Excellent video, and one question! I’ve seen on some KZheadr video CHANEL Bleu de Chanel Oud (something like screenshgot), so do you ever hear or seen something like that man?!?!
My favorite flanker of this line is the EDP It is probably perhaps my all-time favorite fragrance ever I love it and my scent of the day is Gatsby 22 by Ormonde Jayne
What’s gatsby smell like. I’ve been looking at that one but afraid to pull the trigger
mine too. Still the best headnote on the market
The parfum is amazing
DUA's is spot on
Bought the edp so many times. Like the parfum for a change
Parfum is the best I don’t understand why the EDP gets so much hype. I purchased the EDP a few months ago and although it isn’t a bad scent the Parfum is more refined and smells much better. I ended up returning the EDP and will continue using the parfum.
EDP is balanced. Smells best imo.
All of them. I have all 3 and they are different. I wear the edp for everyday, the parfum when I want a richer creamier BDC and the edt in hotter weather or when I want to dial up the citrus
I really like the pink peppercorn in the EDT/EDP.
I love all,infact anything to do with Chanel❤
This video will spark a new release. I’m calling it! And of course Parfum is the best. Everyone knows that.
Just bought the 5oz EDP today. Picked up the 3.4oz EDT about a month ago. Probably the single most perfect fragrance.
Hows the Performance on them ? Are them Both newer batches ?
@oldmanwitherspoon Just bought the EDT and after an 8 hr shift i can barely smell it still under my nose. I loved the smell
get the parfum, its the best smelling
I was a huge BDC fan, especially the parfum version. Then I jumped on Afnan Turathi Blue, that is my "blue* go to. Smells extremely close to Bvlgari Tygar. Oh my it's so close it should be criminal. For pennies on the buck.
Hello from Bucharest, Romania! Nice review, my favourite of the three is BDC Parfum and I bet that the next Bleu de Chanel will be called Bleu de Chanel Elixir :)
I just have to sat EDP I went through a 100ml bottle so I bought the 150ml bottle and out of the 3, found this to be exactly where it is right in the middle. Perfection but for a more rugged scent Sauvage EDP and Elixir
Great Video
All smell amazing the edp then the perfume smells the most unique in my opinion
Which Bleu de Chanel Is Best For Me? None. But thaks a million for the discount codes Ash!!!
Parfum has been the go to for me for the last 2 1/2 months 😭🔥
The Parfum is the best smelling , but if you can only get one get the EDP is Gad the perfect balance and the price isn’t too bad either, I own all 3 and there all great !!!!
I don't why but edt is the best one to me
Edp is perfection in a fragrance ✨
For my money (and it’s priced like it) Bleu De Chanel Parfum is the best Blue fragrance on the market. Period. One of the best fragrances ever.
for blues I use BdC P and sauvage edt. I think with this two all my blue needs are covered.
II tried all 3 and i wanna go with the parfum as i find it deeper and more sensual.. luckily a friend of mine who works at a fragrance store got me 2 5ml samples, and as its the parfum concentration i dont need to spray alot on. On a different note, her eis Europe from big brand stores the prices as Ash mentioned are surprisingly similar.. like less than 1% difference, and that goes to all the fragrances he mentions on his videos.. The bad thing here is we dont have discounters, and we need to dig in to find Lattafa like quality clone fragrances
Bleu De Chanel has been my signature since the OG. I've owned them all and love them. If I wanna feel like Bruce Wayne/Batman this line my go to.
As someone that have bought both EDP and PARFUM, scent wise I prefer parfum, it's creamier and sweeter while still having that fresh amber and a bit of incense. EDP is more citrusy, more incense and more fresh in general. Eventhough they both last quite long, EDP is expectedly has more sillage and projects more.
I don’t get why esp has more projection when parfum is a higher concentration of oil
@noname52768 it's because reduce amount of alcohol to evaporate from skin in parfum in certain fragrances.
Do the allure line and platinum egoiste next plz
Blue de Chanel Elixir, comming out In the near future!!
Fell in love with it. 2 years ago. Bought my 3rd bottle and panic when I noticed the 2 different colors, was afraid that I bought the wrong one, but your explanation helped thank u 🙃
i only have the EDT but i still love it. it's a lot stronger than i thought. even at the end of the work day, i've had coworkers at times tell me they could still smell it as they walked past me.
Hello. Say please how time ago you buy EDT? People write in comments new parties smells less time etc...
I really love the scent of bleu de chanel, i will surely buy it for my son.
You’re a great mother😂👍🏽
Parfum hands down for me
I need that same kind of a video for the guarlain line
I dont know how they did it but the parfum smells intensely woody in the drydown. Like completely woodsy notes. But somehow smells “bluer” than the other 2. Strange. Love them all.
I bought the parfum didn't know there was a edt and edp. I came from cologne's like mont blanc ranges. Not gonna lie u can surely tell the parfum smell is truely unique. The parfum last pretty long ngl.
Just get the Parfum ... its the best of the 3 ....
Edp the best you monkey.
I got BDC edt the first year it came out as a gift. I had no idea how huge of a release it was going to be. I loved it. Constant compliments, people asking what i was wearing and it was the first time i felt like i had a frag that i could use all year round and for any situation. The rest of my collection didn't get much use for about 6 months. I haven't worn it since. I dont know why. Now i feel like I'd be wearing what most men who only own 1 frag are wearing. Feel like its a toss up between that or Sauvage lol. Could be her ex, her dad or her uncle. I feel like I'd just smell like one of them. Just cant do it. Still love it though. It will always have a place in my heart.
Never watched any of your content until now. This video was spot on. New subscriber x
My favorite Bleu de Channel is Missoni Parfum =)))
As a beginner collector i would love an explanation video about the difference between edp edt and parfum i dont know if thats something you have already one but it would definetly be helpful
I'm confused. You are asking for this exact video.
An eau de toilette has less essential oils and more alcohol volume. This makes that it smells stronger at first but the smell lasts less hours. You use it to cover smells for example the gym and need to reapply ever now and then. Eau de perfum has more essential oils and a little bit less alcohol. This makes the silage less powerfull but the perfume lasts longer. Perfum has the most essential oils. This makes the smell more personal (not huge silage) but this the one where the smell lasts more hours. So basically edt has more projection but you need to re apply. Edp is in the middle and perfum is more personal but lasts longer.
I HAVE THE EDP, but i love the parfum waaaaayy better.
Why?
I have the parfum and the edp. My edp collects dust. Parfum to me is just right for me.
I usually buy Chanel’s when Macys has the Friends and Family sales, it’s a quarterly sale usually. They don’t show it discounted online but if you go into the store they absolutely will apply the discount. Rack up some Macys points then apply the points to further discount something else and the savings add up. The Parfum pulled me in, didn’t find the line amazing prior. Now it’s grown on me a lot and just buy EDP and am more than satisfied. May buy another bottle of the Parfum just to have.
How much was ur bottle after the discount?
Yup. I got a 150 ml bottle of the EDP for $145. Crazy deal
For some reason, I have a difficult time literally smelling the BdC line. I'm not sure what in them makes me anosmic to them. I wish I could enjoy them as much as everyone else seems to, it's an extremely beloved line in the community.
I had the same issue for years. I literally couldn't smell anything when I put them on paper or my skin. Came back after years and can finally smell them and definitely a huge fan of the Parfum.
Eau de toilette: very nostalgic shower gel sweet scent, reminds me of 2014 when i smell this despite it coming out 2010. Now in 2023, it lasts 3-4 hours on skin. Terrible longevity due to the newer batches but lovely scent. 8/10 Eau de parfum: Takes the shower gel scent to another level and smells much classier, complex and formal, so its more versatile for me than the EDT. Has the same sweetness but more amber to it, uses aldehydes and coriander for more earthiness. Projects same as the eau de toilette and the value is a little more expensive but id say its worth it saving up for the eau de parfum than eau de toilette. I get 8 hours with this. 9/10 Parfum: this one has the DNA from other flankers but it is so much more earthy and less sweet. It doesn't project a lot but it is a long lasting. 8-9 hours longevity and half foot projection. Leaves only a scent trail. Its more mature and classier than eau de parfum but you can wear all seasons except summer. 8/10 All in all, I take the eau de parfum because its the most versatile and a great balance between longevity and projection. It is also a great balance in the sense that it doesnt smell completely different from the original EDT but it uses more earthy ingredients.
This video bleu me away. 🥳
Can you get the Abercrombie collection and see what your thoughts on which is best?
Is it me or the Eau de parfum has like a cherry type scent. Love it!
