Scent: An elegant, masculine and fresh mixture of grapefruit, incense and woody notes. A combination of both ‘day time’ notes and ‘evening’ notes.

Performance: At least 8 hours with moderate projection (performance improves as you go higher in the concentrations, I personally get 12 hours with the parfum)

Occasions: All year round as a signature for any occasions, be at least 18 while wearing this.

Pros: Balanced and high quality perfumery, extremely safe and excellent value for money.

Cons: This has a lot of competition in the ‘blue’ category such as Sauvage or YSL Y EDP etc. You may not stand out with this.

The Bleu de Chanel lineup has been an extremely popular one, over the past decade. Chanel has released multiple versions, under this banner, including its latest: Bleu de Chanel Parfum. However, when we compare Parfum vs. BdC EDP, which is the better fragrance? How do these two cologne match up and which on should you consider buying, if you’re in the market.

In this post, I will break it down, after testing and reviewing them both. I compare them, in different categories, before declaring a winner.

Read my Review: Bleu de Chanel EDP

Bleu de Chanel vs YSL Y


Opening

Bleu de Chanel EDP opens up with a bold blend of citrus notes, leading the way. These fruit notes are joined by freshly spiced notes, consisting of mainly, ginger and pink pepper.

Although, you will get a cool mint sensation in there, as well. It’s quite nice and will then transition, to include a smoky incense note and more amber.

Bleu Parfum, starts off with: lemon, bergamot, and lime. These citrus notes aren’t as sharp or powerful, as in the EDP. Instead, they become tempered by the strength of the woodsy notes here.

This one has a stronger mint note, but really gives you the cedar and sandalwood, earlier on. It is interesting, how they take this already familiar formula, and ramp up the woody base earlier in the wear.

Which is better? It’s a tough call. I like the citrus/woods/herbal qualities to Parfum. However, I think that I prefer the start of EDP, more consistently. The citrus and spices are bold, not as complex as Parfum, but really grab my attention.

Really, I’ve been wearing the EDP a bit more here in the summer and have been loving the lemon and bergamot combination. It’s awesome.

Edge: EDP


Projection

Both of these fragrances, start off pretty strong, but subside by quite a bit later on. Neither has a super powerful sillage and will stick quite close to the wearer, a few hours in. Honestly, I don’t detect much of a difference.

I do kind of wish that either of them, had that big time sillage for longer, than they do. I’d say they’re both slightly above average, in this regard, but I sometimes want an outstanding beastly performer.

Edge: Push


Longevity

Bleu de Chanel EDP will last on my skin, for 8 hours, as a pretty moderate fragrance. Sometimes, it’ll hang around a little while longer. It’s very solid with it’s performance, but isn’t an elite level fragrance with its strength or staying power.

Meanwhile, Parfum, does go a longer ways with the same amount of sprays. I get about 10 hours of wear from BdC Parfum. Both are really good, though.

It’s to be expected, as Parfum is the higher fragrance concentrate. It at least cracks that double digit barrier, barely, but it does get past it.

Edge: Parfum


Versatility

Neither of these is really great during the heat of summer. EDP holds up better, in a hotter climate, but is best in spring/autumn. Parfum is more of an autumn/winter wear, that still holds up in a temperate condition.

Other than that, these two are about the same. Can be worn to the office, out at night, semi-formal, or casual. The BdC lineup is well-known for being a ‘do everything’ type of scent.

I will give EDP the edge, as it does have a better year round capability. Actually, I think that the EDT, holds up year round when compared with these two scents.

Edge: Bleu EDP


Overall Scent

This is a pretty tough decision, as I like both of these Chanel fragrances, a lot. Bleu de Chanel Parfum is dark, woody, and complex. It’s got a great take on this formula, with an outstanding sandalwood note. It’s warmer and woodier, but maintains enough of that zesty citrus to be pleasing.

Ultimately, I would prefer to wear the EDP more often. I am a fan of the citrus opening, the heavier use of the fresh spices, and it still has the woodiness in the latter stages.

Parfum is a really awesome option, and you may wish to go with it, if you want a woodier and less citrus based fragrance. I usually have a preference toward the citrus, so, I think that the EDP is the best offering from the entire line.

Sure, EDT is more of an intense citrus, but the EDP has much better depth and balance. Admittedly, I could wear any of them, and be perfectly happy doing so.

These two are neck and neck, but BdC Eau de Parfum, is slightly better to me. Although, either will be a great choice.

Winner: Bleu EDP

Bleu de Chanel vs YSL Y

Best Men’s Colognes started back in 2013, as a way to share my learning experiences with different fragrances, as I dove head first into the hobby. Since then, I have written hundreds of reviews and other pages about perfumes and colognes.

What does Y by YSL smell like?

Fragrance Description: The signature Y scent is a bold and woody men's fragrance. This seductive cologne is infused with sophisticated and revitalizing notes of sage and geranium and rounded out with a hint of sensual wood.

What does Bleu de Chanel smell like?

Bleu de Chanel is described as a woody aromatic fragrance, which is identified by the combination of "aromatic herbs" and an "opulent center and base." The fragrance contains top notes of lemon, mint, pink pepper, and grapefruit; middle notes of ginger, Iso E Super, nutmeg, and jasmine; and base notes of labdanum, ...

Is Bleu de Chanel better than Sauvage?

After about 10 hours, this fragrance will still be going strong but it will start to fade at this point. The difference between Dior Sauvage and Bleu de Chanel in terms of longevity, even though they last about 10 hours, is that the smell of Dior Sauvage is more potent, so you'll notice it for a longer period of time.
