To me this smells like every other body splash you see in grocery stores nothing special nothing fresh all i get is complete mess and hairspray smell - fail blind buy - :(

This is the only aquatic scent that I actually liked. Usually, fresh or aquatic perfumes don’t work for me, especially when they have strong citrus notes, but this one was different. It didn’t have an overpowering citrus smell, and it was one of the very few summer scents in this category that didn’t give me headaches. This is definitely a summer scent for me, and it can also work well in spring. I don’t think it’s suitable for autumn or winter. It feels light, fresh, and appropriate for warm weather. Overall, this felt like a very safe and easy choice. It was pleasant, wearable, and good value for the price. That said, it’s not very long-lasting. On me, it lasted around three hours at most. Still, considering the price and how easy it is to wear, I think it’s a nice option.

Very nice. I wish it lasted longer. A good after shower and gym scent.

I love this perfume. I was looking for a fresh sensual perfume that I'd be able to wear on hot, humid and stuffy days, and I think this is it. On my skin, it's fresh and sweet in the right way, perfect for summer. Past the opening notes, I don't find it to be citrusy; it's more aquatic. I looove the musk on the base, which imo might be what some people find masculine, but I think that makes it sexy, mysterious and "velvety" (but still fresh!). It definitely is sexy to me, but it's sexy in a deep, enticing way, not in-your-face I-could-eat-this-instead-of-wear-it fruity/vanilla. It's not that kind of sweet. I love it and so does my boyfriend (big plus). I love vanilla and very sweet, though, but it's not what I want for summer. Silage and duration are its weakness, but I wasn't expecting anything too long-lasting given the price. And to be honest, that's the case for most "summer" fragrances, even big houses'. So I really don't mind reapplying. I plan to use the whole bottle throughout the summer. It stays pretty linear after the first 15 min, close to my skin the whole time, which given the notes makes sense. It's 3 pm, I applied it generously at 11 am and I can still smell it. Is it an original frag? Not really, it's (lovely) fruit, flowers, patchouli and musk. But if you're into sweet, feminine but fresh perfumes, give this one a try. It's nicely rounded and doesn't smell as cheap as it costs.

My wife has this. Smells fantastic. Sillage is decent. Longevity is the fail point. Lasts like an hour. Fresh & Clean. I get the fruits (more crisp than sweet) and white floral. It does have some body to it for a citrus & white floral scent. Wish it lasted longer but I still really like it. 7.5 out of 10.

Анонім★★★★★

NOT fruity. It's a bit... stuffy. The bottle and the notes made me imagine something fresh and clean, but this one has a certain heaviness to it, maybe because of the patchouli? And yet it's a bit of an anomaly, because there's something undeniably delicate about it, too. Many others have described this as aquatic, but it truly comes off as a floral bomb to my nose. The jasmine and gardenia are the loudest notes in the mix. My mom described it as "old lady perfume" which, as with many of you, isn't my favorite descriptor. But you can't deny that it gets its point across, and it does have that stereotypical musty-floralness to it.

Анонім★★★★★

Affordable and i always get complimented when i wear it. It's fresh, but not too fresh to the point of being masculine. It smells really really nice. Of course it's not better than expensive fragances but it's really good And personally i think it lasts long. My boyfriend loves this, even more than my expensive perfumes, so the use of the word "Seduction" on the name is right.

Анонім★★★★★

My packaging says Blue Seduction but it has a silver cap, not a metallic pink cap. The opening is like Vintage Bloom (which reminds many of Nina) and the dry down is similar to Princess Noir. I will give it time to settle and see if the aquatic scents come forward more, which I would enjoy as well. A very pretty and feminine scent, tart and musky. This scent is composed by Oliver Cresp, who also did Nina and various D&G Light Blues, so comparisons with these scents being reminiscent of each other are valid.

Анонім★★★★★

Not feminine! Otherwise clean, fresh and creamy, a bit sexy. It reminds me of dove bar soap mixed with male aftershave.

Анонім★★★★★

Let me just state that this is my absolute favorite. Smells much more expensive than it is. Bought it during my improvised trip to Odessa. I was just in the middle of my finals and got on the train just in between the third and the fourth exam. Odessa is not just a city, it is a smile of God, as they say in Odessa. And this perfume used to be my late teens signature and an ultimate summer vibe. I love it.

Анонім★★★★★

It smells exactly like CK One, it costs 5 times less Blue Seduction, smells fresh pencil shaves and musky, but too neutral, almost the same as the male version, but in hot humid days when you feel yucky, gloomy, dirty or sweet candy headache esque-vomit inducing, the scent will clean your mind and it becomes therapeutical, a pity it is neutral for my taste, but evoques a spray freshener spa, in a positive way

Анонім★★★★★

I bought this for my mom for a change, since she's been wearing CK One for the last 20 years, it was about time to try something new! She likes to use perfume right after shower and before going to bed, so it had to be something really light and easy to wear. Most reviews I found on Youtube say this is a bit too masculine and it reminds them of the male Blue Seduction. Well I gotta say, this is absolutely not true. I does not have the dominant melon note, but the opening notes described on here, in perfect symphony. This is a delicious, feminine , fruity fragrance! This is perfect for hot weather, as a daily freshie and after shower body splash. You can't get any better for the price! CAD $30 for the big 200ml bottle! (6.7 Oz)

Анонім★★★★★

As someone that LOVES floral aquatics, this one...eh. it was $10 so I blind bought it and it reminds me of the flea shampoo I used to use to wash my dog. Lmao I know that sounds like a terrible review, but that's only at first. After it dries down its a lot better. I spray something heavier on fruit or floral over it and it smells more feminine. Don't get this if you don't like aquatics because it's def not floral or fruity it's fresh and aquatic smelling. But if you like floral aquatics, you should buy Antonio Banderas' other perfume, Queen of Seduction. Now THAT is a nice floral aquatic. My husband ranked that one 2nd out of my entire collection behind Good Girl.

Анонім★★★★★

It is soft, fresh and perfect for daily use. I wear it going to the office. It can be used for both school and the office. I do not like sweet and sugar perfumes. So I looked for floral and fresh scents. This perfume covers all. The price/ performance ratio is great. And yes, it is not seductive but definitely remarkable and flirty scent.

Анонім★★★★★

A fuzzier, more floral version of Light Blue for Women.

I’ve wanted to try this for a while now and I finally decided to spend the 23.99 CAD for an 80mls bottle blind buy and I’ve come to the realization that pear and peony seem to be my favourite combination in fragrances. I did order six different perfumes and all of them have pear and peony in them, it’s something like magic to my nose, it gives this fresh combination that I love so much! Anyone else have any good peony or pear and pear and peony recommendations I would love!

Анонім★★★★★

Fresh scent for summer splash 🌊💦 The strongest notes are: Violet Leaf, Lily of the Valley with Rose and Raspberries with Musk. It is not a traditiotional fruity scent - you can smell some fruit at the beginning, maybe the first 30 seconds. It is a fresh, clean and watery frag, but with strong hints on flowers. The drydown is a little bit unisex because of Patchouli, I think so.

Анонім★★★★★

I know- celeb scents. But this is one of those light scents that works. So many scents like this fade out before they get to the base notes but this one doesn’t. It’s all there- the fruity, the floral and the musk. It’s a very light unisex skin scent after about 30 minutes. Really easy to wear.

Анонім★★★★★

This perfume is really good. It's hard for me to like fresh aquatic blue scents but this isnt your typical one. It is quite heavy on florals and fruits with some patchouli.

Анонім★★★★★

I used to wear this perfume long time ago and loved it, for me it is a seductive aquatic perfume and unfortunately it does not last long, this scent used to make me so happy, I wish I could find longer lasting alternative.

Анонім★★★★★

I like the opening fruity and fresh somewhat turns masculine after a few minutes could be unisex

Анонім★★★★★

Ok so I LOVE Gingham by Bath and Body Works, but hate the longevity. Would this be something like it? Gingham is floral, juicy, sweet and fresh smelling with a tad bit of woody notes hidden. I LOVE how sexy it smells, but I do not want to spend $40 on a 1.7oz bottle. Sorry. . . . I am reading that BLue Seduction might smell slightly like it... or at least in the ball park of the juiciness I'm searching for. I want to blind buy the 6.8 oz bottle, but I do not want to risk not liking it. What do you ladies think?

Анонім★★★★★

It begins with note of melon + vinyl/banana/adhesive tape (maybe it is violet leaf) + pear + something sweet. Aquatic, icy-fruity, not citrusy. It is really "sky blue" scent, cool and soft. After 15 minutes it is slightly masculine (I get blue Carex soap vibe). Nice cologne for women.

Анонім★★★★★

The opening is a superb blast of alcohol making me sneeze each time I spray myself ! The dry down is quick, fortunately, leaving a very discreet sillage on my skin. Nothing seductive about this fragrance but yes it is blue… acquatic… sweet… synthetic… nothing more… absolutely not a must have !

Анонім★★★★★

Good daytime fragrance, not for job for sure. It is light, a bit soapy. I hear notes of pear most. Also melon is noticable. It is safe to buy blind, because it also has good price.

Анонім★★★★★

This was a present, that's why I keep it but that's all. To me it smells almost like a man's cologne. Gives me a headache.

Анонім★★★★★

This is a very nice, clean, fresh scent. I like it! It has a slight men’s aftershave/freshly showered cologne vibe that I’m totally down with. Could almost fall into the unisex category. It’s not half as sweet as I thought it would be, thankfully. Longevity on clothes is 12+ hours and projection is moderate. I imaged this would smell similar to Cool Water, but it’s more in the D&G Light Blue category. Very nice!

Анонім★★★★★

It’s such a soft scent! To the point that it’s overwhelmed entirely by alcohol smell! I bought a 6.8 bottle and thought I was getting a steal, but after heavily spraying my clothing and waiting for the burning alcohol to dissipate, I was very disappointed to find only a faint hint of the scent on me! I don’t even know how to describe it. It’s not unpleasant, it’s just not there at all. Vaguely sweet/fruity. That’s all I get. Big bummer.

Анонім★★★★★

I stumbled upon this juice when i was looking for daytime fragrance that won't break the bank for tropical holiday. This was greatly priced and smells good so i snatched it right away. The more i wear it, the more i like it. It's casual, fresh, feminine and sweet but never cloying. The 'seduction' part is way off to me because there's nothing sexy about this perfume. It's more for laying around in the beach or doing sports.

Анонім★★★★★

I used to wear this perfume on hot summer days in Brazil. It just makes me feel so happy every single time. Its a fresh, feminine and not-too-sweet fragrance. It is an after shower feeling, when you are just ready to work without bothering your co-workers at the office. Love, love, love, but I can only wear during summer time. After a couple of hours I dont smell it anymore, but its still a classic for me. You might like this one if you appreciate Light Blue from D&G.
