I know, I know, I know. Houses are finding ways to cut corners and make more profit, and that is just business. My sales associate gave me a sample Bleu Parfum and also made a sample of Sycamore ($$$) from the Exclusifs for me. At the end of the day both smelled like the cheap synthetic amber basenote found in drugstore body washes. They don’t smell bad per say, but the crazy price dichotomy is just the result of diff types of marketing. Btw, they both smelled like creamy woody aldehyde-dy lemonade to me, w Bleu being much sweeter in the beginning. I wouldn’t not wear this, but I wouldn’t spend good money on it, bc it smells like my high school locker room In the early 2000’s after the scent of deodorant/axe body spray clouds have died down.
