This was my scent for the longest time. I have the big 4.2 oz bottle. It's no longer made by Ralph Lauren... and I don't know why. Probably couldn't sell because of all the Pink Sugar and pop fruity florals being sold. This smells like a cool Spring air with flowers that are soft. It's not too clean nor aquatic. Just because the ad and bottle are blue doesn't mean it's an ocean themed fragrance. I don't smell anything close to mothballs. Fragrance really does change depending on the person's chemistry, hormones, and diet.

I drained my 2.5oz edt of Ralph Lauren BLUE quite some time ago, and now, as I revisit this fragrance through a mini, I remember why.
BLUE, contrary to its name and appearance, is not aquatic in the least. Instead BLUE is a unique floral fragrance which features lily of the valley framed by several other flowers, all held together in a refreshing bouquet by a melange of vetiver, amber, sandalwood, musk, and a touch of moss. It all feels very fresh to me, like a field of lush grass peppered with tiny white blossoms.
BLUE is an easy to wear fragrance for me, despite its somewhat loud floral opening, because as it fades it becomes better and better. The drydown is soft and the sillage fragrantly floral without being too pushy. Although I sometimes find ueber florals overwhelming, BLUE is an exception to the rule.

I kept sampling this one for a while before I actually bought it yesterday and it turns out that I do like this not my typical scent I do like them sweet usually scents like Fantasy and Pink Sugar are my usual kind of thing but this is something nice it is not at all sweet it IS flowery and very ladylike. It reminds me of fresh little blossoms on the trees in the spring. A very nice scent and the bottle may be deceiving because alot of fragrances kind of match the looks of the bottle but not this one trust me! I like it and it lasts I sprayed it on my pj's lastnight and it is still going strong today.I wouldn't consider this an everyday scent but on outings when the weather is warm most indeed. Very nice and a must try ladies!

I would like to know where I can find a perfectly similar.... ;o| To me is the best....

I bought this because it smelled great on a girlfriend of mine. On me....whole different story! It totally clashes with my chemistry. I wanted to love it on me so badly. This is the 1st time a perfume that I bought has not worked out. It is currently tucked away in a drawer and is full. I do better with woodsy/sweet/oriental/spicy type fragrances.

why did tehy stop producing this perfume?
Here in Switzerland you can't get it anymore...

Thanks.

I can't express enough how much I love this perfume. I get compliments on it every time I wear it, no kidding. Every skin type is different and perfumes do not smell the same on everyone but this is my number 1 fav! Although I'm partial to Ralph Lauren (most all is perfume's smell wonderful on me), I must say Blue for women is by far my 1st pick.

I'm Always In Love With This Perfume.. Simple yet remakable.. Perfect for all season !!!
11/01/09 08:07:52
Its funny how we generally associate blue bottles to aquatic fragrances. This proved me wrong.
11/01/09 07:50:02
It's a floral aquatic composition. It's true that lily of the valley notes are dominant at the beginning but soon fades into clean fresh scent. Very suitable for summer or office wear.
10/20/09 07:11:23
Blue... and i got it blue. and blue and blue and blur...it such a weird smells.. and nice too. floral, and maybe woody. i mean i dont know what kinda ingredient in it. i just smell floral and the other smell, i dont know.. but i like it though.. it remind me of beach and bikini.. trust me, i doesnt smell aquatic.

Hm. I have to say I'm puzzled by the description of this perfume as overpoweringly floral; I bought it because of the single distinguishable (rather strange) note that came blasting out with the first spray and never left, and it isn't the least bit floral. I had tentatively identified it as the ambrette, as that's the listed element I'm most unfamiliar with. Maybe it's just my skin chemistry. Maybe not. In any case, I LOVE the scent. Easily one of my most wearable, go-to summer/spring/early fall fragrances.
08/15/09 01:26:21
The beginning is indeed VERY floral and it hits you - don't wear if you suffer from migrane! However, the drydown is rather lovely, though quite pallid. I think this perfume is much better as a showergel, which I used until the very last drop. The cap and bottle are very stylish.

Ralph Lauren Blue is an odd fragrance. I have a bottle of it because it smells wonderful on a co-worker, but on me-welllll...
The opening is rather overpowering and floral, and I mean FLORAL! Too much jasmine and gardenia. It's blaringly heavy in the beginning. I miss everything good in this fragrance until it starts to dry down.
As it wears, the florals become more delicate and soft. It develops into a really nice scent. It changes into something sweet and delicate, but only if you can get past the initial fusty old lady flowers. I'm up in the air on this one.

it smells way too flowery.likethe blossoms that bloom on a tree in the spring not my type of scent.
06/30/09 08:01:58
This is a very very floral scent. It is overwhelming to me. I feel like it takes over everything and results in a migraine for me. The florals are mostly white and special in themselves but when combined it is overload, too much. I could never find myself to wear this without offending others around me, I get an intense floral air freshener chemical like scent during the dry down. Just completely doen not work with me at all.
04/30/09 13:15:41
I agree with Veronique...Ralph lauren fragrances smell chemical to me...not soft, not attractive at all...I know asians like them a lot, but the european in me just cant stand them!!!!!!!
04/18/09 19:46:40
Blue is more floral than aquatic but there is a real freshness and purity in it. For me it's a scent of jasmine, so natural and tender. At the begining I feel Jasmin+lilyofthevalley+grapefruit, then lily ant grapefruit vanish and a very interesting note appears(orange blossom? tuberosa?)that makes jasmine so elegant and soft. Then the aroma gets warmer and much nicer. The lasting power is OK, the trail is very sexy:)
04/15/09 08:33:38
I love this scent. It's a soft jasmine note. I do think this fragrance changes with body chemisty. When I smell it from the led of the bottle, it's so soft floral, but when I apply it on myself, it turned into soft musky note which it's quite different from my first impression of the scnet. Anyway,it's a clean and welcoming scent. It's quite special and I can't think of any other perfume simular to this. I thinkit's good for fall or winter instead of summer as our sweat may affact the base note of this perfume a lot.
04/11/09 07:32:54
I felt like an old lady using it. Synthetic smell, sorry, I don't like it.
03/06/09 17:34:35
This is pure heaven. Blue gets better and softer the longer it's been on your skin. And you will want to bury your face in your clothes after this has been there for 8 hours. This is the only fragrance I've finished a bottle of and bought another. My husband craves it!
02/01/09 23:04:39
smell cheap and sysntetic , i realy try to love it cuz i love the bottle , after few try i gave it away
01/21/09 09:39:36
A crisp, clean, fresh aquatic with a green touch. Reminds me of places by the sea and light, cool breezes... I smell honeysuckle, the lightest of light jasmine, gardenia, what I'm guessing is peony, and the barest of reedy woods. Drydown is about the same, with a pale, pale white muskiness. Like many of the reviews have said, it does remind me of certain shampoos too – not necessarily a bad thing. A lovely scent, especially for summer, but unfortunately, the lasting power is just about zip and it just doesn't have that certain something for me. Although, I should say, this is very popular with the man... I came home after testing it and he ooohed and ahhhed.
01/17/09 02:16:08
I really don't like this one, I purchased a miniature fragrance set and it came with it. I gave it away to someone that can appreciate it. To me it smells like a dead animal surrounded by rotten flowers.
01/10/09 14:39:47
it is a very nice scent, floral and musky, perfect for summertimes..it is fresh at the begining but,unfortunatelly, on my skin looses its freshness after a couple of hours..
12/19/08 03:01:57
My favorite fragrance.It is fresh,clean, long lasting and sexy. It's smells so nice, and I always receives compliments about it.
For the one wrote that it smells like a dead animal and rotten flowers, and think this person was high on something.
Come on!! Please.

i got this sample from a friend, and it was as i suspected; i CANNOT wear a lot of florals.....on my chemistry all i can smell is lily of the valley...glaringly so. while i enjoy lily of the valley when they are growing in my backyard, in a fragrance they combine with my chemistry to drill a hole in my head! the lotus flower on me turns into an almost melon smell, very watery, green, and melon...i don't know if i have weird chemistry, but any perfume that has lotus flower in it smells like melon on my skin. (I DETEST the smell and taste of melon) such a shame, as i have smelled this on others and it is balanced and gentle...
11/15/08 20:54:47
Have been enjoying it for almost a year, and now going to get the next bottle. I wear it almost every day (when it's not winter which is good for Chanel Allure, my second most favorite). Lily-of-the-valley agrees perfectly with me, helps to relax after a difficult day at work (and helps to tire less - especially with the use of gardenia and something citrus). Almost ideal combination of floral+marine, which is extremely hard to find (or am I just not that lucky)?
11/15/08 20:22:19
One of the best floral scents. A lovely well blended flower bouquet, delicate, fresh, classy and feminine. Good sillage and longevity, a masterwork
11/08/08 18:59:36
One of the best in Ralph Lauren collection in my opinion.. Very nice floral, very good use of gardenia, then turns into a soapy scent, with incredible sillage, good staying power.. Before smelling it, blue bottle gave me a feeling of light, unisex type marine scent, but when I smelled the fragrance I discovered it has nothing to do with cheap marine scents.. This is a very nice floral with a little dark feeling and not overly feminine..
11/02/08 02:44:06
Thanks, Anne. I also liked the scent, but the mothballs ruined the fragrance for me.
10/28/08 05:59:38
This is a good-quality floral perfume. I feel a resemblance with soap but it goes away with top notes. It doesn't last for a long time (maybe couple hours) but it's very appropriate for office wear or some casual meetings. I wouldn't recommend it for a special occasion because it's a little bit light for evening wear.
10/17/08 00:55:32
It's a very nice scent but you can't keep the bottle for very long, I have my bottle for a year now(3th bolltle) and I noticed -for the first time- that the topnotes change into something like mothballs. I agree with guest mseidoon
10/14/08 00:59:16
Tender and transparent scent. Suitable for work and for warm seasons. Contrary to what the others have written, it has a very weak lasting power on me.
10/06/08 00:49:09
a light fragrance that is sweet and delicate but not long lasting. well it wasnt very long lasting for me cus i bought the au de toilette but its a nice smell. i suggest if you want to get it get the au de parfum
10/01/08 07:05:32
This smell brings me to painter's atelier. I can clearly smell gouache that painter just used for painting the field of blue flowers...Exceptional fragrance.
09/12/08 00:57:24
Recently I bought a new bottle of RL Blue. I really think it's just refreshing and is like an energy-bomb: it makes me smile and active. It's a beautiful floral bouquet indeed, and even if the perfume is "blue" by means of being a little aquatic, it's a nice choise for those who want a fresh, clean but very feminine scent instead of those beeing almost unisex and too marine-like. On my skin it's rather longlasting, too.
08/26/08 10:50:42
the lily-of-the-valley note is too strong for me. i think it makes it simple.
07/22/08 07:24:47
I love the smell exceptionally. Its awesome and stays longer. Its fresh and gives me a feeling of being charged everyday.
07/22/08 07:04:09
I brought this online once, it smelled a little like "mothballs" faintly. Does anyone agree with me? Could it be I had an old bottle?
01/15/08 05:57:30
I love the way this smells and I can occasionally wear it.. but it is a very loud, strong fragrance. I only put on a spritz and I'm surrounded by a cloud of this scent all day long which tends to get annoying after a while. I have had many compliments but this one I can't wear as much as I would like.
