Givenchy pour Homme Blue Label

The way grapefruit oil blends with olibanum resin and light cedar is fabulous . It is simple and yet complex smell . Classic mans cologne for the heat and not only. September in a bottle ...For me is the real Bvlgari Aqua predecessor.

A nice fresh, clean, and pleasant, but not overly sharp or aquatic. It works well in everyday situations. Projection is average, with a nice, noticeable sillage. On my skin, it lasted around 6+ hours, which felt very reasonable for this type of fragrance. A solid fragrance and safe to buy if you’re looking for something clean and versatile.

I was a kid , when i find almost-empty Bootle of this perfume. I remember in fragments, it's was a common men's perfume, sporty "freshly" (its was pretty hard). to be honest, what i remember most is the smell of alcohol. Very banal

Nice. Pleasant. light. Not unique.

Very nice balance of cedar and citrus and lasts quite a long time on my skin. Enjoyable when you’re in the mood for something simple and pleasant.

The bergamot punches you right in the kisser and has the biggest sillage. The peppery cedar only really comes out on skin after ~30 minutes. Despite the spiciness, it smells 'cold'... If that makes any sense.

#1078 in my "Tour de Fragrance" Niggling differences between this and Acqua di Gio Profumo. Not a fan myself. I've given away every ADG because of the screechy synthetic bergamot, which is also a feature of this scent, made worse here by the sourness of the grapefruit. But if you like Profumo you'll probably like this, and you'll like the price.

The first time I sampled it at the counter, my immediate thought was it smells like Aqua di Gio lite. If the Italian version is somewhat brash and loud, then this French one is refined and subdued, it's got the same Vibe just the volume is turned down

a more "friendly to the nose" dior higher. I love this one. Its fresh and spicy but not too sharp. Underrated perfume

i wore this a lot in middle school, and tbh thats exactly the demographic id market this to. perfect for middle schoolers. smells clean, nothing interesting. guys older than 16 have many better options, might be good only for the gym or sports practice.

This is a mass Appealing fresh slightly aquatic scent. Good for summers and a warm hot day. Pretty nice to wear it occasionally but I won't feel the urge to wear it often so it's really nothing special in it.

very fresh and average. it won’t smell unique but it is a good scent :)

When I got ot for my partner, he wasn't very interested in fragrances, beyond wanting to smell nice. I picked this because it's fun, fresh, and peppery, and didn't give me headache like many heavier perfumes can. I still enjoy it quite a bit, and so does he, but wishes to branch out, about which I'm happy.

A good COLD fragrance for the Summer. All ages-appropriate. Mass appealing (which is not necessarily a bad thing) and i assume it fairly gets you compliments. (Didn’t get any in the specific forum I’ve worn it). I wonder how come no one mentioned “coconut” btw… 🥥 It smells cold, coconuty and L’insoumis-like (Lalique). Lasts a good 7-8 hours and projects strongly. Overall, a great summer musky fragrance.

For me this is a citrusy fresh clean everyday fragrance that is underrated, this fragrance carries many memories and will always have a place in my heart, the only con that i would point out is that this fragrance does not last long, but other than that this is a really clean everyday cheap fragrance!

Probably one of the more bland fragrances in my work rotation (along with Grey Vetiver and Acqua di Gio EDT). It’s been a staple fragrance which I sometimes layer with something woody for more character. Clean and fresh but not one you will hear anyone waxing poetic about. Lasting power could be better but it’s a freshie so not surprising. Usually buy very discounted only. Wouldn’t mind switching this up for something else when the bottle is done.

Beautiful fragrance, but has no staying power, at least on me. And as good as it is, it's not an ADG beater, although for me nothing is!

I read very interesting comments about this fragance. For me this is a classical cologne for men, may be one of the last fragances with the Givenchy s ADN, saddly vanished in this decade. It emerges refreshing and tonic, a breath of very cool air, I suppous mint, menthol and cucumber, then it becomes into in a pleasant and cozy halo of freshness.

Textbook freshie, nothing mindblowing. It smells pleasant but i find it extremely boring

Reformulated to mid

Peppery Grapefruit, with some herbal notes, linear and likable, longevity horrible, 1 hour and goodbye, Antonio Banderas alternatives last longer

Around the time it came out, my ex was given this as a gift but since he was suspicious of any new fragrances he didn’t choose himself, I did test this myself and I remember Blue Label as fresh and zesty as a spring, and I instantly liked it. Unfortunately the plastic, cheap-looking spray got stuck or broken. I tried to even open the bottle with brute force, but to no avail. Ended up throwing it away and that was it. It’s a shame such a cool freshie has such an awful packaging. These days, since I’m looking for a unisex or male fragrance for myself (fed up with feminine-leaning, overly sweet scents), I’m thinking of this one but that horrible bottle makes me hesitate.

Rocked red label OG formulation thru the 2000s, never smelled this. Blind bought a 50ml for $25. Damn if blue label isn't better in it's 2019 formulation than the red label is! Classier & less ambroxan-y than most freshies. This will be in rotation for me this summer for sure. The artesma in the heart is the star of this show. This could be dressed up & seems to give 4-6hour run so pretty versatile warm weather frag.

if anyone has looked for the fragrance smelling on a drydown like Old Spice Cooling shower gel, here it is. and this is nice, I like the scent for being fresh and clean mix of citrus and soapy notes. it is light and wearable, good for the warm and hot weather. a worthy opponent to Acqua Di Giò and its lookalikes.

Givenchy Pour Homme Blue Label was launched in 2004, being the first flanker, in order to give continuity to the original fragrance, from 2002. Both fragrances were created by Ilias Ermenidis and Alberto Morillas and, it is worth praising, the DNA was respected and adapted to a “blue” version, which tried to deliver more freshness and versatility. The composition lists notes of grapefruit, bergamot, and hedione, in the output; Davana, green cardamom, lavender, and black pepper, in the body; Frankincense, vetiver, and cedar at the base. Classified as woody-aromatic, its fragrance was quickly accepted by the male public, who had already surrendered to the blue version of Ralph Lauren's classic Polo, launched a year earlier. However, while the competition was exploring notes of melon and cucumber in a way never seen before, Givenchy Pour Homme Blue Label tried to convey a blue fresh aspect in a successful fragrance forged by notes of lavender and woods, which was the case of Givenchy Pour Homme. And even without using aqueous or marine accords, the result was very pleasant. On the skin, Givenchy Pour Homme Blue Label reveals incredible facets of some key ingredients, which are: grapefruit, which shines in a citrusy and slightly spicy way; lavender, which here reveals its most camphorated tones; the davana, aromatic and herbal; and, finally, the cedar, which has a drier and lighter woody content, always very adaptable to the male universe. Once you understand these facets, it's easier to decipher this fragrance and stop hoping for spicier nuances of cardamom or a smokier base of frankincense, which won't come. Then, the man who fell in love with the original fragrance, realizes that he has found a funkier and more versatile version, without having to change its scent completely. But not everything is perfect! Givenchy Pour Homme Blue Label is median in all aspects of its evolution, considering its trace and longevity. Its great secret has always been the hedione note, which has already been proven to be an attractive compound for women, according to scientific studies. And as much as it is one of those fragrances that get compliments, Givenchy Pour Homme Blue Label has never been as successful as that other blue one, from the competition. On the other hand, it ended up positioning itself as a less “popular” and more elegant version among men who were already considered collectors or perfume addicts. Because, my friend, if you think that the hype, or that fear of wearing the same perfume that everyone else is wearing, is something created by millennial YouTubers, you are very wrong!

Twin cooler brother of GPH. Its easy to wear and relaxing. Very fresh citrusy opening with a faint combination of peppery and cucumber notes in the background.by a short time passes, pepper gets stronger until it dries down to woody notes specially vetiver. Opening is more beautiful than heart and bottom notes. Age;+20 Casual events only. Performance is moderate. Would I buy it again?maybe whenever I decide to remember my 20’s clearly.

…y’know, there’s more than a little of this in Versace Pour Homme…

It’s an ok fragrance smells good and it’s performance it’s ok.

3-4 hours=gone. Nice citrus and vetiver-all year ( especially-hot weather). clean, fresh, manly. sometimes simple & safe is what you need.

Safe and somewhat unassuming, GpH Blue Label definitely resides in the same neighborhood as D&G Light Blue and Acqua di Good. Strong bergamot and pepper in the opening for me, fresh and slightly masculine. I wouldn't call it an aquatic by any means, but there is a watery quality to the opening and middle that feels refreshing to me. The lavender is present but kind of transparent, and I really don't get much artemisia or cardamom from the middle. The vetiver and olibanum stick out for me in the drydown, but it doesn't come off earthy or resinous in the slightest. On my skin, cedar is missing from the party but does add a slight woodiness to the clean vetiver. I think someone below me described it as a "casual" scent and that description is pretty on point. Could *possibly* be a date night smell for a dude in their teens, but for anyone in their 20s on this is a versatile fragrance for the office, casual outings, and everyday wear in warm climates. It's bright enough if you want a little pop of freshness in cold weather, but I would imagine you'd be the only one smelling it. It's not aggressive and only mildly synthetic in the opening... It takes no real risks, but at the same time no one will think you smell bad wearing this. I have no issue with the bottle, though the atomizer on mine is a little hit or miss. Once, I didn't press it fast and sharp and was met with a tiny stream of fragrance instead of a mist. I'm not gonna knock them on it, it was probably user error tbh. Performance is acceptable for me (lasts longer than Light Blue on my skin at least), sillage is fine I guess? It's not loud but isn't a skin scent either. It's a decent fragrance, but for the price I would say it is pretty damn good. I have others fragrances for the summer I like much more, but I would never feel like I made a mistake if this is the one I grabbed.
