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.

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.

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!!!!!!!

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:)

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.

I felt like an old lady using it. Synthetic smell, sorry, I don't like it.

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!

smell cheap and sysntetic , i realy try to love it cuz i love the bottle , after few try i gave it away

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.

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...

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)?

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..

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

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
Very exceptional scent, too much flowers, almost more than what would be wearable. Too much lily-of-the-valley note, I agree. On the other hand, it's fresh, clean and simply happy. I wear it ocassionally as well, spring and fall.
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.
