Went scentless all day waiting to try this out!

L'Heure Bleue by GuerlainGuerlainL'Heure Bleue3.413 ratings

I saw the delivery email as I got through the door from the airport and then couldn't possibly put another perfume on until I'd got chance to try this one!

I see what people say about a few things: obviously this isn't a refurbished version of the old classic, it's a scent based on how Delphine Jelk would interpret the 'blue hour' now. It's nothing like the 1912 masterpiece so don't go in expecting that - it does have that Guerlain dna, with the slightly dusty vanilla and iris, but with a salty solar opening that I have also felt with Bosca Vanilla, but then the vanilla and iris cone through. I haven't worn it enough to be able to do a full review yet but initial impressions, I quite like the opening bit less so the dry down at this point.

I think I pop the original on one wrist and this on the other tomorrow and see which makes me feel most blue!

Watch this space.

    Not sure if it’s just me but I also smell a little bit of Musc Outreblanc.

      There is a similar element with that, isn't there?! Must be the neroli/orange blossom/iris/musks used are similar? That's one I don't get on with either - certain musks smell off on me and certain ambroxan notes don't sit well so I'm not sure what's not quite gelling here
