Voyage Bleu
by Armaf
Voyage Bleu presents a fresh, citrus-forward profile with prominent pink pepper, bergamot, and lemon in the opening, giving it a sharp, slightly synthetic burst that some users find harsh or allergic. After 15-20 minutes, the scent evolves into a woody-aromatic accord with ginger, mint, and nutmeg, gradually softening into a clean, slightly soapy base of sandalwood, cedar, and patchouli. While many users consider it a close approximation to Bleu de Chanel, the clone lacks the depth and incense complexity of the original, with performance often rated as modest—moderate longevity and a sillage that starts strong but fades quickly. Some find its projection an issue, especially in lighter sprays, while others report lasting scent on skin and clothing for nearly a full day. The bottle is sleek and metallic-looking with a magnetic cap, praised for its presentation but criticized for a misty spray that lacks precision.
