I've realized that, except for a little hint in the post dedicated to Eau Sauvage by Dior, I've never talked about male perfumes. That's quite strange, cause I totally love them, both to smell and to wear. I personally think that they can add a sparkle to female's charm, creating that androgynous style which I adore. When I'm wearing a male fragrance, suddenly I feel more self-confident, stronger and firmer, I really want to dare and be involved in something new, like I left for a minute my fear and weakness locked in a drawer. Someone could object that is as I'm wearing a mask, but I don't think so: actually, I believe that this can unearth a part of us that we normally hide, perhaps for social stereotypes - which still want the woman sweet and accommodating 24/7 - perhaps because we are scared of them, we don't know how to manage them. When I was working at the museum, several times I used to be impressed by guest's perfume. It's almost incredible how a pleasant and peculiar scent can immediately add a lot of charm to a normal man, to an old one or to a person dressed in a humble way. Over time, I've redacted my own chart about the male perfumes I love the most - and most of them are great classical scents such as Antaeus by Chanel - but I'm always open to the new. Speaking about the French brand, among the last newbies I really loved Bleu by Chanel (I swear, that's not only because of Gaspard Ulliel as testimonial...) definitely masculine but with a young and fizzy note, suitable also for a girl. The hidden femininity of this scent becomes more and more clear throughout the hours, when it comes to heart notes: super light, barely perceptible, you can smell almost only citrus and grapefruit notes, a fading summer memory, like the sand that you found in your sandals and beach bag once you were back home from holidays. The spicy note, slightly floreal at the same time, belongs to pink pepper. The base notes, composed by incense and ginger, increase the essence of the perfume, and also its persistence. A subtle scent, but definitely long lasting. I think that it's the perfect male perfume for those who have never weared one of them and want to begin right now, but starting with something rather delicate. Finally, just because eyes want their amusement as well as the nose, that's the advertisement with Gaspard Ulliel as main character (look up for the video!)
