Voyage Bleu

First Impressions & Dry Down

Voyage Bleu is Armaf's take on the modern classic, Bleu de Chanel. The opening is where you get the most similarities: a bright, citrusy grapefruit bomb mixed with a cool mint. It smells good, but it’s a bit sharper and more synthetic than the Chanel. The ginger and nutmeg in the heart try to add warmth, but the citrus edge lingers. The drydown is a mix of amber and a slightly woody sandalwood. It lacks the refined incense of Bleu de Chanel. I'd say it gets you about 89% of the way there, but the difference is noticeable up close.

Performance Reality Check

This is where Voyage Bleu shines. It projects well for the first 2-3 hours, leaving a noticeable scent trail. Longevity is solid; I get about 6-7 hours on my skin, which is decent .

To Buy or Not to Buy?

Voyage Bleu is a great daily driver for someone who wants that Bleu de Chanel vibe without the hefty price tag. If you're after pure refinement and the best ingredients, stick with the original. But if you need something for work, the gym, or just running errands and don't want to burn through your expensive juice, this is a solid choice. It's a crowd-pleaser for under $30.
