ÉCLAT 677

Scent Breakdown

ÉCLAT 677 opens with a familiar grapefruit and mint, mirroring Bleu de Chanel's crisp introduction, but with a slightly sharper, more synthetic edge. It's roughly 88% there, capturing the bright, clean vibe. The heart introduces a pleasant ginger and nutmeg, a spicy warmth that feels well-blended, although the jasmine is a ghost. Where it diverges is the base. The incense is dialed down, the amber amped up, creating a sweeter, less smoky finish than the original Chanel. It's less refined, but still a very pleasing aroma.

Wear time & Sillage

The projection is moderate for the first hour, creating a noticeable scent bubble. After that, it settles closer to the skin. Longevity is decent. Expect around 5-6 hours on skin, potentially longer on clothing. It’s not a powerhouse. You'll need a respray for all-day wear. The synthetic opening is noticeable, but forgivable considering the price. If you crave that classic, clean, blue fragrance profile but are hesitant to drop serious cash, this is a smart pick. For the cost-conscious guy building his fragrance wardrobe, or someone who just wants a daily grab-and-go scent, ÉCLAT 677 delivers. But for everyday wear, this clone gets the job done respectably.
