Blue Homme

Bottom Line

Blue Homme is for the guy who wants that classic, fresh-out-the-shower vibe without breaking the bank. Someone who appreciates a clean, inoffensive scent for everyday wear. If you demand ultimate refinement and nuance, then yes. But if you’re content with a close approximation that gets the job done, Blue Homme is a solid choice. A breezy substitute for the budget-conscious.

First Impressions & Dry Down

Blue Homme opens with a bracing citrus volley: lime and lemon amplified, maybe even a touch too aggressively. It’s reminiscent of Acqua di Gio, but with a sharper, slightly synthetic edge – think lemon-scented cleaning product colliding with a Mediterranean breeze. The heart drifts in with recognizable aquatic notes, a peachy sweetness adding a playful touch. It mimics the original well, capturing that easygoing, sun-kissed vibe. The drydown is where the divergence widens. The white musk is prominent, clean, but lacks the depth and complexity of AdG's base. The oakmoss is subtle, the cedar, slightly generic. Overall, it captures about 95% of the AdG essence.

Projection Power

The initial projection is strong, almost aggressive, but fades quickly. Longevity is moderate. Expect about 4-5 hours before it becomes a skin scent. It's not a beast, but sufficient for a casual day out.
