Courreges in Blue by Courreges

Malegria

Last night I wore Courreges in Blue to bed and it gave me a profound insomnia. I could not sleep because the changes in the perfume were unignorable!a combination of green and honey (tubereuse????) I don`t think it`s aquatic, may be floral green with a tendency to lean towards a chypre. It is also very energetic at the same time, without being citrusy at all. A little bitter, it made me think of a business shark lady standing 6.5 feet tall in her 5 inch Jimmy Choos and ready to execute a business opponent with one wave of a pen.Cruel!

Then it started to feel more warm and soft,a little medicinal - still with honey on top to sooth the taste.I felt a lots of marigold and it was a marigold tincture I used to get for my sore throats when I was a kid.

When I almost gave up all hope to have any sleep at all, all of a sudden I was left with a strong scent of freshly chopped parsley, and a whole bunch of it. May be even a bit of a celery root!

And on this comforting note I finally fell asleep.

My first impressions:

This is no aquatic, but the top notes are fresh, with the marigold, coriander, and aldehydes giving a "peppery" effect.

The floral notes in the middle blend into each other; I can't pick one in particular that stands out.

The clove note in the base is extremely strong; on my skin it overpowers all the other base notes.

This a lovely, lovey chypre. The "floral aquatic" label here is waaaaay off.

Oakmoss, coriander, bergamot, amber, cedar, sandalwood, vetiver and violet... this has all of my favorite notes! Opens with spice and brightness and settles into an even spicier green warmth. Good for hot weather but I'm planning on wearing this one all year round.

Love it, love it, love it!!

This is a scent of memory for me, because my mother used to wear it when I was a child. I use to adore it on her. It was a complex floral smell and it smelled classy to my young nose. I still have a sample of this, but I don't like to wear as it seems so dated to me now. Still an original scent for that time.

I love the freshness of this perfume when it is first applied, perhaps due to it's strong coriander and citrus top notes. It settles into a unique fragrance unlike any other I have in my wardrobe while still retaining some of it's citrus. I live in a hot climate and it can be a bit overpowering when first applied but the fragrance stays all day and remains "true" without becoming too "watery". Love it but hard to find

Bright scent with flowers and fruits & aquatic notes. Fantastic for summer! Since 1986 Courege in Blue has been my signature. I get so many compliments on it. No other fragrance would do. But now is hard to find it.
