How does a blue floral fragrance smell like? Would it be sweet like the dewy blue roses? Or perhaps aquatic like the deep blue waters of the Pacific? Or maybe something similar to a man’s fragrance - virile at first instant yet surprisingly, delicate in the dry down.
Ralph Lauren is known for marrying colors and fragrances. Each Blue, Green and Black conveys a distinct character only Ralph Lauren can deliver with class.
Let’s talk about Blue. Blue in Ralph Lauren’s fragrance collection is a woman’s perfume. Not to be confused with Polo Blue, Ralph Lauren Blue Perfume for Women is one heady floral fragrance. At first smell, the opening hits you with a healthy dose of floral notes. Jasmine and gardenia dominate the top notes. The middles notes unfolds into more floral accords that features rose de mai, tuberose and orange blossoms. At the base, nuances of sandalwood, musk, vetiver and oakmoss give the overall floral fragrance a matte finish.
Blue may be a tad overbearing at the beginning but notice how it transforms the heavy notes to a delicate fragrance in the long. The warmth of the early notes peters out to pure heavenly fragrance. The best part of this perfume is unfortunately, the dry down, much to the chagrin of those taken aback by the overwhelming notes of florals in the beginning.
Surprisingly, men often mistake this for a man’s cologne. It could be the marine-like appeal of the color blue or it could be the design and components of the perfume which are so well-blended, if you carefully assess its notes.
One man who furtively wears Ralph Lauren Blue is definitely hooked on it. He says,”To be real, I didn’t know it was a perfume until about 2 months later, because on me, it smells like a cologne, or maybe a very well done unisex scent that really leans toward the male side like CKbe does. With that said, it is the best smelling light cologne I’ve smelled next to CKbe. It is Awesome! … Two words. Get it.”
