I have all 3 versions. The EDP is the one that gets the most compliments. I wore it to work one day last week and within minutes of entering the building a lady said “you smell wonderful!” It has that wow factor. The Parfum is beautifully blended, though. It’s more dense and doesn’t project so far due to the higher concentration of perfume oil. It’s more of a subtle power flanker…classy, elegant and discreet. The current version of the EDT has been toned down a bit. Perhaps Chanel are trying to persuade customers to buy the EDP and Parfum versions!
I own all 3, the parfum version is by far the best of the three...its just too classy and elegant, but its a matter of tastes they're all great to be honest..if you can only afford one , maybe go for EDP then later gett another version until you decide which one smells on you best
Excellent review Anthony I’ve seen quite a few reviews about bleu de Chanel and they are pretty confusing and you just made it clear and simple to me to decide which bottle to get thank you! 👍🏼
EDT current formulation not mass appealing is a LIE. It has the best projection, the longest lasting and best value for price. If people can’t smell you with the EDT, I don’t know what you’re doing. EDP and Parfum has the same performance except Parfum smells better than the other two. Get EDT and Parfum, skip EDP altogether. Also, original formulation isn’t mass appealing either because it doesn’t exist.
All of them are very mass appealing scent wise. This was just my personal breakdown. I appreciate your comments and hope those who read got a different perspective to base their decision on!
You’re right. The edt before reformulation was awesome in every way. Especially performance. Now it’s water. How they can do that to any fragrance and not note a reformulation on the box and charge more for it, is beyond me. Really sneaky tbh
Hey man this is the best video on this line of colognes because of the simplicity of your explanation. I wanted to go buy a new bottle bleu de chanel but didnt know which one to get since the reformulation. Now I think I know which one. You just gained a new follower. Keep the videos coming man.
@@anthonyalsante617 thanks for your super prompt response. Is it more classy than something like Fierce Cologne? And I take it you recommend the EDP version of Bleu? Based on your other video, I thought you were a massive fan of AF Fierce. Thanks man
@@rezar6894 I wish I could’ve been more prompt to this second comment/question but oh well 😂😂. Bleu de Chanel is definitely more classy. I am a huge fierce fan... I think it’s awesome, but when talking about class, fierce misses the mark. Bleu de Chanel on the other hand is as classy as designer scents get. I’d say the only other designer fragrance that comes close, in my mind, to competing with Bleu de Chanel, when categorizing fragrances by class, is Dior Homme Parfum... and even then it’s not even close because Bleu de Chanel is much more versatile and mass appealing. If you are wearing Bleu De Chanel as more of an every day fragrance, I absolutely recommend the EDP. I don’t know your situation and how many fragrances you have, but I will say if you already have mass appealing fragrances and are looking for something to be as smooth, classy, and refined as it gets to supplement those... the Parfum may actually be your best bet. I have the EDP simply because it gives me the best of both worlds (the sharp and piercing qualities of the EDT and the smooth and rich qualities of the Parfum). I hope that helps. Please do not hesitate to ask more questions! I love helping out.
@@anthonyalsante617 - many thanks mate, appreciate the view and purchased BdC EDP. I’m thinking of also getting FIERCE intense Cologne, have you any experience with the intense version, there is also now a new Night version. Many reviews are saying Intense is very close to the old Fierce which is super long lasting and projecting but it gets a bit of hate due to price. Price aside, do you think it’s superior to the current Fierce Cologne scent? Thanks man, and hope all is well with you 👍
Reviews By Cedric C it just used to be way more powerful. Maybe a bit of a difference in the smell but nothing really substantial. Main difference is the performance yes!
I tested all three and think that the edp is the best, but bought the edt just because there isnt a huge difference between them and I got the edt much cheaper. So for me the edt has the best price value
Congrats for your channel and your reviews: I've started to watch them and I find your comments really interesting. Btw I agree, edp is the best version
As far as I am concerned, there has been no reformulation. If it has been, it is a very minimal difference. Still awesome based on what everyone is saying... maybe even exact.
@@anthonyalsante617ut 4:30 you talk about how it was reformulated and was a massive drastic difference and then say it’s basically identical IF it has been reformulated? Lol which is it?
I love the scent of the EDT so much, but yeah..the performance of it is bad. I used a moisturizing lotion recently, before applying the EDT and that actually helped the performance go from bad to average at least for me...which surprised me. I've sampled the EDP, and it seems close enough that I feel like I can move on from the EDT. I don't see myself going with the Parfum. I don't think I can bring myself to part with that grapefruit note.
@@anthonyalsante617 EDT you need to spray it about 12-15 times to feel like you are wearing anything lol..luckily I live in Florida where the heat brings out the most life from it, but still, it isn't very strong at all. I should be choking people out, with that many sprays and I dont even come close.
Dude what are you talking about. Every major reviewer especially Gent Scents (whom i trust) says the parfum is literally the most versatile out of the 3. It actually smells the best.
Parfum is deeper and does not have the fresh brightness of the other two. Therefore, I do not believe it is the most versatile. All of the Bleu de Chanel’s are like Swiss Army knives and can be worn anywhere at any time. This is just my humble opinion. I trust gents scents as well. My best advice would be to test them for yourself!
@@dukebose970ahee is a gym scent for high heat and sweat. Not much performance until your active. Bdc is edt for high heat and seasonal. Edp for seasonal but not high heat.
Thank you for the comment and I appreciate your request. Although my pronunciation of the product is not how it is said in France (where Chanel is originated), saying Blue seems to be perfectly fine. I apologize that you felt I was being disrespectful. ruclips.net/video/4rTlyMl6vO0/видео.html

Ty I was wondering which was best and now I know…. EDP 👍

The Parfum is good all year around. I use it also in the summer nights and colder summerdays. It just work really well on me.
Thanks for the review and love the old school vintage audio behind you.
I just bought EDP 150ml with 20% off Im loving it. I spray 2 times on my neck and after 16 hours i can still smell it a little bit strong.
How'd you get it 20% off?
Perfume version is the best!
Excellent review Anthony
I’ve seen quite a few reviews about bleu de Chanel and they are pretty confusing and you just made it clear and simple to me to decide which bottle to get thank you! 👍🏼
Very glad I could help!!
Parfum the best smell!
Agree
bdc edp the opening is good but dry down some of the note so sharp and strong make headache

I just bought the Perfume one. smells amazing, ready for fall and winter!

Completely agree
Bro, i love the Bleu line but which works best in summer and in high humid heat?
Eau de toilette is the freshest and most citrusy so it will work better for summer!
No doubt EDP is the best 👍 among the three😎

Thank you very much! Glad you liked the video. It’s been a while since I’ve posted but I hope to get back up and running very soon.
Thanks for your great reviews. Do you recommend Bleu de Chanel or the DNA of AF Fierce Cologne most for a classy signature scent ? Thx
No, thank YOU for watching, Reza! I recommend Bleu de Chanel for you, without a doubt!

I got edt the edp is too similar to have since I have edt I’m gonna get the parfum because my edt version is so sharp
You will definitely get a smoother version of the scent with that one. Sounds like a great choice for you!
Anthony Alsante did the original batch of the edt smell different or it just had better performance?
Reviews By Cedric C it just used to be way more powerful. Maybe a bit of a difference in the smell but nothing really substantial. Main difference is the performance yes!
I have 2016 batch of EDT, it's performance beast
I tested all three and think that the edp is the best, but bought the edt just because there isnt a huge difference between them and I got the edt much cheaper. So for me the edt has the best price value
Very good. Can’t go wrong with any!
agreed i think edp is the best of the three.
Congrats for your channel and your reviews: I've started to watch them and I find your comments really interesting.
Btw I agree, edp is the best version
Thank you so much!
Man your fragrance review is very easy to understand and practical to an average person like me. Thanks for such a great review.
Nice review Playa. I had the edt in my collection for about 6 years. Is the edp still worth picking up due to reformulated. Thanks
You really cannot go wrong with any of them. I’d go with EDP or Parfum.
@@anthonyalsante617 thanks
Great video, i have all 3 flankers for me they are great,only wish parfum last more.
I swear, I have the parfum 2. Smells sooo good. But, I just bathe in it😂
Greetings. This is one of the best men's fragrance reviews that I've watched on RUclips. Keep up the great work mi amigo!
EDP smells nice but there’s a note in that one that if headache inducing for me but I’m fine with edt and parfum. I bought edt!
how is the longevity on edt?
@@jimmysingh4184 I get around 5-6 hours it’s good
Does EDT 2020 has same formulation than EDT 2014? When has it been reformulated?
As far as I am concerned, there has been no reformulation. If it has been, it is a very minimal difference. Still awesome based on what everyone is saying... maybe even exact.
@@anthonyalsante617ut 4:30 you talk about how it was reformulated and was a massive drastic difference and then say it’s basically identical IF it has been reformulated? Lol which is it?
The parfum version is my fragrance. It lasts forever on my skin.
Definitely a great scent. Really is a matter of taste and preference! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it!
Does the opening of edp similar to parfum? I love the parfum cause it's smell incredible at the beginning
Luther T the Parfum is going to be smoothers, a little more deep and dark. The edp is going to be brighter and sharper.
@@anthonyalsante617 thank you :)
Luther T of course! Anytime!
Brother the edt lasts the longest hahah!!! Hands down
Everyone knows this
The one in the middle the best EDP
Fortunately for me I don't know how the original bleu de chanel smells like, I only know this recent one and I like it,the edt.
I love the scent of the EDT so much, but yeah..the performance of it is bad. I used a moisturizing lotion recently, before applying the EDT and that actually helped the performance go from bad to average at least for me...which surprised me. I've sampled the EDP, and it seems close enough that I feel like I can move on from the EDT. I don't see myself going with the Parfum. I don't think I can bring myself to part with that grapefruit note.
The grapefruit is what gives it the versatility. I agree with you 100%

You are very right!! You have to spray it up to 12 times before you feel it... And honestly In my opinion that sucks.. But it's a nice scent though
@@nykia31yeah edt is fantastic for high heat environments but if your not in high heat get the edp and go easy. 2-3 sprays is more than enough
You can’t go work with any version, I have had all 3 and they are all a bit different and smell great

Dude have you ever heard of an “opinion”
Parfum is best till date, its mature and high class quality smell.
ppl who say the parfum is better are nuts. epd is the best one cuz of the perfarmance
Edp is the best ..
Rumor is a Elixir and cologne is coming soon
So basically
Elixir
Parfums
EDP
EDT
Cologne
Still waiting 😂
I heard the same about elixir, but not in the bleu flankers.
8:38 but thats not the original version my friend the edt is the original and first one
Which one would you suggest- BDC or AHEE?
Good question. For me it’s BDC by far. Not even close.
@@anthonyalsante617 thank you soo much
@@dukebose970ahee is a gym scent for high heat and sweat. Not much performance until your active. Bdc is edt for high heat and seasonal. Edp for seasonal but not high heat.
Great review. Many thanks. I hope that you keep persevering as you will make it if you do. Cheers 🇬🇧🏴
Antaeus. Bleu de Chanel as a Gladiator.
Beautiful
BDC edt better
Nice review but please have a little respect and at least learn to pronounce the name of the product you’re reviewing. It’s BLEU and NOT BLUE!!!
