why writing about a ten years old scent if they have all been reformulated.
mAm0nt – :
Ralph Lauren (Blue) is a fresh, elegant, powdery floral on me. Lasts all day. I like this scent.
Nice.
Hindmypezinee – :
for all those who want to buy it, they still have it for sale on fragrancenet.com. As far as that site, I have ordered at least 20 orders from them and had great experience. All authentic and just as described. You can save a TON of $$ on that site.
Neldextedge – :
Ralph Lauren really needs to re release it and worldwide too. Such a fresh, floral and unique scent that you can wear everyday. Nice, simple timeless bottle too. Seriously what were they thinking when they discontinued this wonderful masterpiece?
extibeEveni – :
The good points to this perfume are it’s longevity and you can tell it is a well-crafted scent. It also is very aquatic to my nose, which is a popular choice for spring and summer.
Unfortunately, this composition just does not agree with my skin. I am sure it would be lovely on the right person, but on me, it maintained a strong, sweaty note. Eventually, my companion asked that I wash it off.
I usually try not to write negative reviews because taste is so subjective — my signature is Angel and there are literally people who loathe her! There is also the possibility that the bottle in the store is off, so I may order a sample from a reputable dealer and retry.
Please do not let my experience dissuade you from testing this scent.

Ralph Lauren Blue is so soft and pretty. A fresh floral blend of jasmine, lotus, and peony. I don’t ever want to be without this beautiful fragrance.
ZZZzzz – :
Clover + black locust + water mint + horse stable (!).Cold, weird, fresh. I like the flowers, but this animal hint just damages the composition.
baimak-a – :
Comforting juice. I get mostly the jasmine, musk melon, peony; and something that makes it aquatic- could it be the lotus that are found on top of bays? I really like this because I don’t have anything quite like it. I thought I would hate it because of the strong gardenia, but it is not overpowering at all here. So I was very surprised that the gardenia did not “cloy” the juice with their powder. I am really surprised I found this. And musk melon or cantaloupe is one of my favs, and peony also, really well rounded and clean. I am male so this is unisex, and it may also be a little too strong for some women. Longevity is 8 hours long lasting and the sillage is about 3-4 feet moderate. Ten stars here.
Лёха12 – :
This is one of those fragrances I’ve had on my want list seemingly forever. It is nice. Has an air of refined, sophisticated oh so slight elegance. This to me is more like a vintage fragrance, yet not “old” smelling. I get no sweetness here, which is a welcome change from what feels like sugar overload these days with perfumes. I don’t see the similarities to any of the fragrances mentioned on my skin, anyway.
A nice clean crisp scent. Light to barely moderate, not overwhelming nor heavy. Note-wise, I definitely pick up the grapefruit, but it smells pleasant to my nose; a lot of times grapefruit notes smell sour or even foul on my skin, here the grapefruit note comes across fresh and clean, as it should be. I also pick up the peony and lotus. The white floral is surprisingly understated on my skin, and the suede note is cleverly played here, lending a touch of almost borderline of a unisex nod. Fairly light and just very crisp and clean smelling. Will be nice especially for Spring and Summer. Moderate longevity.
maminsibiryk1984 – :
This is a wonderful floral scent. I have never met anyone who doesn’t love Blue by Ralph Lauren. I purchased it at a Ross ~10 year ago, and the longevity is still amazing (8+ hours). I would not classify this as a “wear to the office” scent, as I find it to be a little too strong for an office environment. However, on a date night, absolutely! I will always have a bottle of Blue in my collection.
wedun – :
I first discovered Blue in a magazine sample, 10 years ago, I receive compliments every time, I have had strangers stop me to ask what I am wearing.. I love it!
motordoll – :
My most beloved perfume ever. I discovered it when a client came to see me back in about 2006 and she was wearing it. After work, I drove to the mall specially to get some and bought the largest bottle I could find. Got back to my car, ripped off the cellophane there and then and doused myself in it. I had found my signature scent.
I used to pounce on department store Christmas gift sets with the body lotion and shower gel and wish like mad that I’d bought a hundred of them when I had the chance. I even got my mum wearing it too! It is impossible to find now, as I live in New Zealand and no-one will ship it here. I’ve gone through eBay and various other websites to purchase, but I’m pretty sure one I did buy online was a fake as it just didn’t have the same longevity and sillage. I’m down to my last half a centimeter and have resigned myself to searching for a replacement.
sana6666 – :
Bought it on sale, it’s a light floral. On me tuberose is the most prominent, trying to get used to it , it smell a little old fashioned but I think layered with other floral body mist could smell lovely in summer.
homyakov_1995 – :
Found this in my drawer havent worn it in a while…love this scent reminds me of spring when small flowers on trees blossom i wore it to work and then washed my uniform and it washed into my uniform because when i opened the dryer i smelled this perfume it overpowered the laundry soap but it doesnt matter i like this scent more than the arm and hammer laundry soap.
gadgtr77 – :
* These are my personal experiences/thoughts with this fragrance. Yours/others may differ. *
Initial – grapefruit + lily of the valley + lotus + melon
Drydown – musk + vetiver + basil + verbena + amber + sandalwood + oakmoss + suede
Duration – 10-12 hours
Projection – soft
Experiences – The grapefruit coupled with the melon makes the opening come across vaguely like bad body odor on my skin. The drydown is intensely musky and green, and the suede note is mildly nauseating to me.
Quick Thoughts – musky, sour, green
DONOSPEAPSDOF – :
I also heard that this was discontinued. It was my signature scent from 2005-2007. Not at all a strong floral on me. It dried down to something feminine and cozy. Almost the scent of freshly washed skin after a shower.
pumants – :
Wore this in my late teens. Thinking Of a repurchase. It is the only Ralph Lauren fragrance I have ever loved.
anubis333 – :
What a fresh, light, well-rounded scent! This can be worn anytime since it has such a comforting element. I wear it just easily with jeans and a hoodie as I do with a light summer dress. Other reviews are spot on; it does not smell the same on everyone. It is beautiful from start to finish on me; on my best friend it is all gross musk.
sanya1990 – :
Just got this one again from one of my favorite swappers. I love this, reminds me of being in my early 20s. It’s fresh and clean and exactly how I like my fragrances. And it lasts which says a lot because almost nothing lasts on me.
WAqahronW – :
I had this fragrance years ago and when I saw it on scentbird I added it to my queue. Well I just got it and fell in love all over again!!
It is such a clean fresh scent but has something special to it but can’t put my finger on it. This is a classic scent in the way that it is timeless.
There was a time I was all about RL fragrances but this was always a favorite!
Definitely would get this again!
zzv541Diobtetty – :
Ralph Lauren Blue can smell completely different depending on who’s wearing it. I’m not talking about the subtle differences between person to person.I’m talking about a marked difference.
A co-worker of mine would wear Ralph Lauren Blue EDT practically everyday. She always smelled so wonderful. On her, the florals were present, as well as grapefruit and sandelwood, but none were overpowering, even though, it had great sillage. She smelled fresh, but not soapy. I could only detect a hint of musk.
Well, I just had to get a bottle. I couldn’t find it in stores for the longest time. So, I bought a bottle of EDT online from a well-known site.
I was thrilled, when it arrived. I sprayed some on my skin. I could not have been more disappointed. Initially, I got a sickening waft of lily of the valley and gardenia that lasted about 5 minutes. Then, it quickly developed into a strong musk and stayed that way. It smelled practically identical to cheap Jovan Musk from the drugstore.
I tried it again few days later with the same result. After that, I just kept it in drawer with other fragrances that I didn’t wear. Then, one day, I was at a my cousin’s wedding. Seated next to me at the reception was another cousin. She smelled great. It smelled similar to how Blue smelled on my co-worker, but not quite the same in way that I could not put my finger on. I was a little surprised, when she told me it was Ralph Lauren Blue.
Of course, I thought I’d try Blue again. Why not? I still had an essentially full bottle. It didn’t get any better, though. I still smelled as if I took a bath in Jovan Musk. At the time, my younger daughter was 14-years-old. She asked me if she could try it. I told her that she could have the whole bottle. OMG!! It smelled heavenly on my daughter. The top, middle, and bottom notes all seemed to be perfectly in balance. The dry down on her is even better. That was five years ago. She has been wearing it everyday ever since. My older daughter tried it then, too. It was pleasant on her, but not the same as on my younger daughter. The gardenia seemed to stand out more on her and cling to her more. Although it smelled nice on my older daughter, she prefers fruitier fragrances.
One day my sister was visiting. My daughter was wearing Blue as usual. My sister asked her if she could try it. We both warned her that it could smell completely different on her than it did my daughter. Well, we weren’t wrong. On my sister smelled like overpowering musk mixed with something icky sweet.
In summation, I would recommend trying a sample of Ralph Lauren Blue first. In my estimation, the wearer will either be one of the lucky one’s whose body chemistry works well with it or they won’t. There doesn’t seem to be an in between.
rojbakmx – :
This is one of the few florals that I love, if anyone wants to swap it please let me know.
221080 – :
It is back, at least in the U.S. It was gone only a few years, it seemed. New release is almost certainly a little different, and I have not smelled it. The original formulation, however, was soon duplicated by Britney Spears Curious, and to be honest, Curious was better (smoother, lasted longer). I hear Curious has been reformulated since its first days too and no longer is the beauty it once was.
22`1343122`34312 – :
This was my signature fragrance! Not only did I love it, I got compliments on it everyday! Then they discontinued it. I found a bottle on ebay, boxed and unopened. It’s just not the same on my skin anymore OR it’s spoiled. I love it so much and miss the scent on my skin so I use it as a pillow spray now. Oh how I wish Ralph Lauren would bring it back!
Bonyfacy – :
Smells like bug spray on me. Sigh.
Galalbult – :
I so loved this fragrance when I first bought it. It’s very fresh and soft and watery. Like a lovely glass of spring water when you’ve worked in the garden all day!
I read that it’s been discontinued and hope if I get it thru Amazon that it’s still a great scent!
AaxolokT – :
I love this perfume and always get compliments from men when wearing this.There is something really attracting in it.Unfortunately it has been discontinued in my country.Does anyone know where to find an original bottle on line?(there are a lot of fake ones in the market..)

****ATTENTION ALL UK FRAGRANCE FANATICS!****
So I was in a shop called “Home Bargains” the other week (British cheap chain homeware store, a bit like B&M). Anyway, I stumbled across their beauty isle and something caught my eye.
I found a perfume by “Kamys” named “Rare Blue” – I had a quick whiff and spray and it reminded me of something – Ralph Lauren Blue! It was a bargain price of £1.99 for 100ml! I had to get it. Obviously as it is such a low budget fragrance the longevity is pathetic as expected, but sillage is fairly moderate. I’d say on skin it lasts maximum 30 mins and on clothes a few hours. It is more like a bodyspray than an EDT.
That being said, for just under 2 quid, it smells fresh, summery and pretty and it is deffo worth the purchase. Perfect to keep in your desk at work for a quick spritz and to freshen the air!
maks30rus – :
Long discontinued but yesterday I found a coffret with the 125ml plus a 40ml bottle at a local store in my town, not so expensive, and I tried just to see how it was…
One word: LOVELY!
Fresh acuatic accords, I thought it was a strong whisteria note but it’s jasmine, I liked it… it’s easy to wear, light floral and on my skin with a touch of citrusy undertone, really really good, and very long lasting, I love when fragrances are like this one, fresh but long lasting at the same time…
Reminds me of my granny’s garden when I was a child, it’s the same smell, lovely.
Greetings from Chile!
🙂
gava1973 – :
Today I’m giving this one another try. It’s a hot day and the heat of my skin is bringing out the notes very quickly.
I previously though of Blue as a non-descript gardenia tuberose musk, but today I’m getting a real steam iron aquatic-floral vibe. It’s also laundry musk, sure, but the steam iron smell is quite pronounced and persistent and I like it. The floral notes are quite subdued, almost masked, but quite classy and not brash like big white flowers can be.
Maybe the key to getting the best out of Blue is wear it in the heat!
PROFI2009 – :
Floral & aquatic, my “feel good” fragrance. I used to spray it on my skin after an evening shower and I still could smell it waking up in the morning. Lovely, fresh scent.
irisha-7 – :
This EDT popped up in the “People Who Like This Also Like” section of my signature perfume, and I’ve been curious about this due to all the positive reviews. I finally found a tester, and without hesitation, I sprayed it on my wrist.
The initial scent was a blast of white florals, which isn’t my favorite scent, but I was pleased. The image that came to mind is of a summer evening after the heat and humidity have dissipated, and a cool, light breeze is blowing while the first few stars in a cloudless sky are finally making their appearance.
However, within a half hour, I started to smell something very rude and synthetic. I sniffed and sniffed my wrist searching for that summer evening with the white flowers and gentle breeze, but it was replaced with the smell of hairspray. Unfortunately, it wasn’t even a good hairspray scent but one of those cheap ones that you’d find at a drugstore. I was truly disappointed.
I wanted to love this, and if that early summer evening had led to a nighttime dip in the ocean, this would have a permanent place in my little collection. I envy those who can wear this. As for me, I couldn’t wait to wash it off.

I came across Blue in the Heathrow airport while returning from a business trip. I picked up a paper sampler of it and dropped it into the cover of my travel pillow. By the time I got home I was sold on it and had to find it. When I did purchase it I found that a little goes a long way. It tends to hang to my clothes until I wash them. But used very sparingly it’s a clean fresh fragrance, perfect for summer time
yarik333 – :
I received this in a large set. The bottle has no name on it…it’s just blue. I love the fresh scent. Perfect for sprig and summer! So glad to match a name with the photo in case I choose to repurchase!
ladyMarin – :
Ralph Blue is soft and sets close to the skin on me. A clean, somewhat aquatic and somewhat floral scent with a hint of freshness. Probably more aquatic because something about this reminds me of the ocean. Not entirely feminine. Definitely a summer time scent. Lasting power is not bad. I applied it several hours ago and keep getting whiffs of it still.
It’s not something I’d want to wear everyday but I am happy to have it in my collection for when I need a change from my typical fruity floral and vanilla scents.
прохвост – :
Do you know where we can find it anymore??? Ii is my ultimate favourite perfume!
vla96d – :
This is so lovely, I find it pretty. Feminine. Not overdone in any way…the perfect scent to wear everyday, it isn’t heady, it just exudes simplicity, yet it isn’t boring, it is a light floral with an aquatic vibe, I like it, it is demure, it should be in every woman perfume collection!! It has a timeless quality to it, as pretty scents never go out of style..
It isn’t a statement perfume, so if you want to leave a weird trail behind you, Blue won’t do it!!
I am not always in the mood for it, but I happily wear it.
podslog – :
I get subdued tuberose and gardenia with a laundry musk tang. It’s a good fragrance but not a fantastic one, and it’s not particularly strong or long-lasting. This is a hot weather fragrance, the gardenia and tuberose come out in the heat.
aaabbb311 – :
What I get from Ralph Lauren Blue when I smell it….. I don’t a beachy, sunny, aquatic feel from this at all. What I do get is a calm, dark, cool, dewy bush of gardenias at night. It’s reminiscent of spring nights that we have in tucson, where people actually have flowers and not just lantana, bird of paradise, or cacti. To put it simply, it’s a modern take on a gardenia/tuberose scent. A very nice one at that!

NO LONGER HAVE/REHOMED
I’m new to this site so please forgive me if this is the wrong forum for this question (and I’d appreciate anyone pointing me in the right direction)…
** How does a swap work on this site? **
I have RL Blue and really like the way it starts, with the aqua and melon/floral scents. Unfortunately it’s not that great on me after the dry down. Thus my question about swapping.
Thanks!
захаров1997 – :
Can’t do it. It makes me sneeze so I’ll be selling or trading! I have a newly opened 2.5 oz bottle if you’re interested. I loved it at the store but it gives me a headache and sneezing.

Really light and citrus-floral with a hint of spice. I find it comforting although I’m not sure whether the opposite sex would like or even be able to smell it. Skinscent that gives a lovely twist.
GAN20122 – :
“Lottis” is so accurate in describing this perfume as ‘metallic’. It is very metallic, which gives it a masculine feel, but the flowers help keep it sexy and still feminine. To my nose, this is a very complex scent. Watery, metallic, floral, rich, and extremely unique. This fragrance is NOT for the inexperienced. This smell carries a message of boldness, confidence, female masculinity, and respect. This is my signature scent. I’m a somewhat tomboy… sports here and there, slightly masculine swag, bossy, a little demanding, successful, but still beautiful and feminine. Spray with caution!
TexHoormDom – :
This isn’t an actual review. I contacted the Ralph Lauren website to see if they were going to offer body lotion and shower gel for the holidays. They said that it was no longer being produced. They said I might like to try Big Pony. No, thanks! I really like this fragrance. I guess I’ll move on. 🙁
devilx2 – :
Received this in a swap unsniffed and I honestly did not know what to expect from the reviews here. When I received it I sniffed from the bottle and sprayed some on my wrist (which I dont usually do with new scents), I really wasn’t sure how I felt about it. Later that night I kept getting whiffs of something and I realized it was this so I decided I’d test it further since it sparked good emotions in me.
I then kept sniffing the bottle because there was something good in there I kept thinking about. So , I wore this to a beauty convention that weekend and loved that this lasted on my clothes all day and I was there from 10AM to 6PM. Also, the scent didn’t turn funky it was still as cool and crisp as when I put it on.
As far as scent goes, this is definitively floral but when I smell it I don’t know why but it reminds me of ice or the way the freezer smells when you open it and that chilly air hits your face. I love scents that spark some sort of emotion in me. Like nothing I’ve ever smelled. If you love cool type forals this could be for you.
I think this could be my next signature which I haven’t had in some years now. I think this is the closest thing to what I need in a signature. It’s light but present, distinctive, lasts well, and I identify with it (it seems like me). A bonus is it seems a bit more grown up than my previous signatures which is a natural progression I would hope for.
I love this and will update the more I test it.
Aleks55511 – :
Very clean and preppy. I initially smell cotton, like sheets hanging to dry in the warm sun, but almost immediately a loud, undeniable musk develops. Someone mentioned mothballs, and I have to agree, but that is what I love about it! It is like what Jennifer Lawrence says in American Hustle- a whiff of rottenness buried deep in a scent makes it intoxicating. I also pick up on jasmine and maybe even honeysuckle? The combination of notes makes this fragrance richer and more special than the typical clean, fresh fragrances. Perfect for a sunny, breezy spring or summer day.
olj170speagoessenda – :
One of my favorites – clean and sparkling fragrance
K.O.N.O.N – :
I had this one and wore it a lot, my husband loved it on me as well. Then I strayed to Chanel Coco M, and JS-Fancy Love and that was it, all over for Blue. It sat on my dresser for years until I finally got sick of looking at it and gave the bottle to my sister who has barely any perfume since she likes the more clean scents.
BIGKONDRAT – :
non tutti i floreali vengono per nuocere. eccone uno che si sopporta. note iniziali floreali molto intense di gelsomino e mughetto, estremamente volatili, per fortuna. il gelsomino rimane, a ricordare le sere estive, e va assestandosi verso un mix di vetiver e muschio, lievemente aspro. rinfrescante e per nulla dolce, rimane leggero e vicino alla pelle per ore.
a1ex0n – :
One of my all time favourites !
fantotsy – :
Finally!! It’s here!! I’ve been wanting to own this beauty for a long time. A very dear friend of mine used to wear Blue when it was first launched and I loooved the way she smelled. At that time I couldn’t quite wrap my head around buying it, though I’ve always loved it. Time passed and once at the mall I gave it a try and bummer… I hated it….. no, it was not right, so I tried it again, I let it evolve and dry down, and there… the clean beauty, the flowery notes, where jasmine stands out, the melon. I started to really crave it. I asked at Lauren’s counter a few weeks after trying it again and they crashed me with the news… it had been discontinued….. I didn’t give up, I asked at a small perfumes-only-store and the lady told me that no, it wasn’t discontinued, it was just that the big department stores would regularly favor the “trendier” fragrances. (Note, I live in Chile, Southamerica, far away from perfume houses and stores, I have to settle for what they have in stores or buy on the internet). I was resigned… and then… one of the department stores at my local Mall had a Ralph Lauren’s Blue sale!!! So my sweet loving mom bought a bottle for me and one for her!!! (It was her turn, a month ago I bought us a 1 fl.oz bottle of Ralph Lauren’s Romance each).
Iwanyich1 – :
Has this fragrance been relaunched? I couldn’t find this anywhere (within Australia and US) for the last 2 years without insane prices. But now its seems it is being sold at Ulta and in chemist in Australia for resasonable prices.
natik_1981 – :
This perfume smells very delicious. I used this perfume for my wedding. I had a late miami summer wedding @ 3:00pm. This scent is clean and fresh. Very nice. The scent of Britney Spears, Curious, is reminiscent of this scent.
lars18 – :
Great winter scent.
Deform – :
Sprayed two sprays today one on my chest one on my wrist I wasnt too crazy about this before but I am really enjoying this now it reminds me of spring like when the trees are blossoming and it has a pinch of something peppery I really like this and may become my signature. The bottle looks expensive I jist wish it looked more feminine because for those that dont know just looking at the bottle would assume its a mens cologne I know I would
tanglefy – :
Love the dry down
25021978 – :
When I smelled this, I was instantly transported to heaven. Why? Because This smells like a more floral and less salty version of Eau des Merveilles, my all time fave. There’s just something about vetiver, citrus and amber together than make my heels click together in utter olfactory bliss! Maybe this can be my cheaper alternative.
luljacha – :
I am in love with this scent, got this for Christmas,. I have curious because so many people here thought curious smelled like this, and I couldn’t find blue, but I have to say I think blue smells more mature, in a good way, more elegant maybe? I love it. Can’t stop smelling my wrist!
rasti_1995 – :
Wow cannot believe how much this is just BS curious, I like curious and since this one is difficult to find and can be a bit pricey. Britney’s is cheaper for the same smell.
avrora6018490 – :
Ahaha – glad I’m not the only one who thinks this smells just like Britney Spears Curious! After you’ve worn it for maybe half an hour it turns into Curious, which I personally don’t dislike.
nexus123456 – :
I tried this perfume for the first time today. WOW!!!!! It smells so great! I can’t stop smelling my wrist!
My initial thought was a grown up version of BS Curious. The tuberose and gardenia really open up on me. People are right…a little goes a LONG way! 2 spritz was all it took for me today. But it’s not over powering for me. It’s a soft, sweet floral. My husband described this perfume as very flowery.
It reminds me of a toned down version of something my grandma used to wear (and that’s not a bad thing!)
Overall, I LOVE this! I’d reccommend it to anyone who loved BS Curious growing up. It’s very classy.
Novic1127 – :
Smells like flowery shampoo with a harsh chemical musk drydown. The same unfortunate drydown chemical that ruins the Safari reformulation. Shame about the Lauren fragrances – their ready-to-wear quality is not great anymore either.
The price is ludicrous for the low quality drydown.
Гавгавыч – :
RL Blue really does not smell like BS Curious to me. It’s a lovely floral fragrance that is mature but modern. I say it’s modern, and it is; it’s not out of place in 2013 by any means, but it still seems to invoke the past — 1980s in particular. Lauren by Ralph Lauren is an iconic late 1970s/1980s fragrance, green and zingy. Blue is clean and patrician the way Lauren is, but cooler and calmer.
kyzya133 – :
Almarie try not to let it change the way you feel about the fragrance, this isn’t a complicated scent. It’s clean, watery, with a melon floral base, bathroom it is not. Your friend may need to get her nose checked, or simply be associating the clean notes with baby wipes/baby wash.
Megamen – :
Honestly, I really liked this fragrance, but one of my friends said it smelled like her son’s “poop”, so I kind of am a little crestfallen with this fragrance since that comment. At any rate, I still went to Ulta and purchased the 1.0 oz bottle for old times sake.
abathulik – :
After reading the many positive reviews on this fragrance (particularly those that read like “Not a day goes by when I don’t get a compliment…”), I had to have it. I searched high and low, and couldn’t find an agreeable price until Ulta, which has the 1 oz. bottle in a coffret called Ralph Lauren Romance along with 2 other RL fragrances. I digress, so I tried this and wasn’t super impressed, it smells good, like freshly shampooed hair, an aquatic flowery scent with melon. It reminds me of one of my favorite scents Britney Spears Curious (shampooed hair scent) mixed with Bath & Body Works wild Honeysuckle (floral with prominent watery notes and melon) if they had a rambunctious child, it would be Ralph Lauren Blue. lol
I find it a pleasing scent, but I am not sure it’s a keeper for me, ironically even though I’m a fan of BS Curious, this isn’t as impressive to me, and no real “you smell good” compliments have come my way *deal breaker*.

Just wrote to Ralph Lauren website, as they were advertising Blue, and I was not sure whether I was picking up an old page or whether, like Crabtree & Evelyn Wisteria, they were using the same name but changing the scent ( and not for the better). I got the reply that it is definitely still available and the formula unchanged….YIPPEE,
“We are pleased to inform you that Ralph Lauren Blue Eau de Toilette Spray has not been discontinued. The fragrance has not been altered in any way. The key notes of Polo Ralph Lauren Blue are Lotus Flower, Tuberose and Musk. Although this fragrance may be unavailable in department stores, it is available for purchase on RalphLauren.com.

Ahh the incredible power of the sense of smell.
I actually remember what I did the very day I tried this on all those years ago. It was a crisp fall day and I was out shopping with my mom. We then went to see the movie Underworld (the first/best one haha) and I kept smelling my wrist the whole time lol.
My mom figured out pretty quickly that I liked it so she bought me some as a gift.
From there on out, I always saw this is a fall fragrance. I am not sure if it is just because of the memory, or because it actually smells of fall to me. I think it is the former because I tend to like woody smoky smells for fall. Well, I love woody smells most of the time anyway.
Of course, this does have some woody notes that are cleverly hiding beneath the floral notes… so they tend to wait until the dry down to appear, the mischievous little buggers.
As for the floral notes, they are pretty strong for me, henceforth, I only bought the lotion so I can apply it as lightly as I want. I can also balance it out with other lotions and perfumes if the floral gets overwhelming for me.
I am not usually a huge fan of floral anything so I am surprised that I even like this. I also have no idea what flowers I’m smelling. All I know is that this is really kind of an out of character scent for me.
But it is clean and inoffensive smelling to other people. I’ve gotten a few compliments on it. I have a VERY sharp sense of smell so like I said, this can get overwhelming for me so sometimes I have to tone it down.
This perfume has monster sillage in my opinion, which is normally a bad thing for me. But it goes pretty nicely with my chemistry so I don’t mind as much. I don’t like it as much as some mens’ colognes but it is one of the better womens’ fragrances.
Plus, sentimental value doesn’t hurt either. 😉

I know it’s not mentioned in the note, but I swear I can smell honeysuckle. Not the synthetic, make you cringe type, but true to life, sweet and airy honeysuckle.
Blue, to me, smells like spring. Sitting on the front steps at dawn, watching the sun rise over the neighboring meadow that’s finally sprung to life with wildflowers drenched in morning’s dew. Breathing in the fresh, sweet scent of morning, occasionally catching a brief w
