Armani Privé Bleu Turquoise by Giorgio Armani
Amber Spicy
Aurelien Guichard
Bleu Turquoise was on my radar for quite a long time. It is spa-like incense woody marine vanilla. Very special and very unique. It smells like a quality oriental summer resort dream.
It is considered to be a summer daytime fragrance; however, the projection and especially the lasting power is incredible. I could still smell it after a shower. It is a mature scent, definitely unisex.
Recently, I have fallen in love with this type of note profile. Aquatic earthy sweet scents. It falls into the same category as Wood Sage & Sea Salt by Jo Malone, but of course, much stronger and more refined.
As much as I love it, I find Bleu Turquoise difficult to pull off. It is not exactly a casual perfume. I also associate it with luxury-style holidays. There is time and place for a perfume like that, otherwise, it can go really wrong. Maybe, men find it easier to wear Bleu Turquoise as it is quite woodsy and incense-like. It is practical to have a decant of fragrances like this. You do not need a full bottle unless you live a bougie life most of the time.
