    Opening is very sweet, almost like a berry blend with a heap of sugar on it. Drydown is also sweet, like a cinnamon bun on a cool leather seat (yes weird combo). I never smell the coffee in it, but there is a tiny hint of milk chocolate. Suede dominates about twenty minutes in. The spice blend is not peppery but aromatic. The musk is subtle. The overall vibe is a relaxed ride in a luxury car at night, when it’s humid and hot outside, but cool and breezy in the car. This is a great night scent which is not too offensive. The sillage is mild and the staying power is a few hours. More for being a smelling salt and for people in your personal space than for knocking out people feet away.

    I was skeptical at first as this was a blind buy but it has really grown on me. I live in Texas and feel that this handles the heat pretty well if not overdone. The berry notes don’t hang around for long which is fine by me but the scent does have an interesting life for the price. I do agree with other reviewers that it’s somewhat 2 dimensional but for $18 I can take it.

    Weak sauce at best.
    It smells awesome, in the beginning, after 5 mintues…
    You’ll forget, that you used anything.
    You must respray this juice every hour or so.
    But it’s super cheap, so why not.
    Blind buy for $13.00 bucks on sale.
    Wish i never open the bottle, i could’ve given it away as a gift.
    3.4 oz Bottle…
    YOu get what you paid for i guess.

    Reminds me of a blueberry dark chocolate bar. Full-bodied yet fresh. Very pleasant and to my nose pretty unique. Seriously lacking in longevity, but for the price I like it.

    This is about as good as you can expect at this price point. The berry quality does seem to go away for a while but then it comes back again, but it’s never obnoxious. I’m just not a fan of smelling this berry quality, more or less by itself, for hours. The other notes are too weak and it’s got that two-dimensional quality so common in recent designer/celebrity/lesser releases. So, I think it’s successful, all things considered, but I’m also thinking this is swap list material, as I just can’t find anything about it that makes me think I’ll really enjoy it some day.

    I have to update. I have to discount points I gave before for strange reason – the edt got bad overtime.. I am not sure why. I don’t keep frags in refrigerator of course (I wouldn’t think anyone does).. it’s got strange “sour wheat” note – and it’s not wearable now, got this food vibe. It’s not vintage bottle to do that. I thought maybe my chemistry off.. but it does that on shirt/paper too. Don’t buy a big bottle I guess, if you ask me. I also discovered interesting detail – if you happen to be near person who radiate some strong natural ingredient stuff (Hermès, Dior etc.) – this one suddenly behaves as cheep sintetic smell – so be careful where you’re planning to go.

    Not many reviews on this one…?
    For my nose – it’s good, very-leather one. Not sure why almost everyone before me here says they can’t smell leather. It’s not that kind of leather as in ‘Spanish Leather’ of cause. It resembles ‘Vince Camuto’ leather, sofisticated, not wild. It doesn’t project image of a cowboy (I like those too), but nevertheless very masculine, true leather scent. Does not complement every man’s image – and this is good.
    Poisoned-blue cold sweetness is a surface. Like a LED-lighted swimming pool on a roof of skyscraper in a big city night. Underneath is really nice leather. Undercover agent’s type. Hint of chocolate just for making it all more vivid.
    On me it’s good longevity – 6 hours for sure. I also am not shy to press on spray – skin, hair, above and below waist LOL. This one is not loud (we shouldn’t count 1 min blast of immediate application) and doesn’t go easily over-sprayed.
    Projection is moderate, closer to intimate in a building, but is nicely carryed by wind on a street – few meters away (I caught people’s reaction)
    I really like this one.
    Bottle design is reflective.
    And whoever’s desided to give the name ‘Noir’ – 200% bullseye! Night use only I see.
    Scent – 9
    Longevity – 8
    Projection – 8

    I was never overwhelmed by BR’s fragrances over the years but was intrigued when I saw a new crop of 15ml bottles, and ended up buying one of Wildblue Noir.
    Its name is appropriate, as it has a synthetic dark blue vibe–that is, a spicy aquatic seemingly more suited for the night than for the day, though due to its limited longevity and projection, it works as a day scent as well because it is only so bold for so long. Its opening is bold, though, as a quasi-fresh burst of synthetic blueberry mixed with spices. The note list has been difficult to track down, but my guess is that there are multiple fruit notes (at least a citrus and a non-citrus), along with a woodsy not ore two, and a vetiver base. Chocolate is possible but it’s likely a synthetic substitute that smells similar. I can’t detect leather at all.
    Cant argue with the retail price (perhaps $12 for the 15ml) as it’s useful to have a small decant, but that’s as far as I can go, compliment-wise, due to the lacking longevity (fades to a skin scent almost wholly within a couple hours). It’s a strong, dense blue opening that isn’t complete, but isn’t bad, either.

    i absolutely love the scent of this, but it just refuses to project or last on my skin. it may just be me, but i could swear i smell…. licorice?

    I tried this one today after giving up hope that I would ever have the chance to buy it.
    This one open with a fresh touch of green and watery notes followed by a more strong scent of musky coffee.
    I can detect some chocolate notes after 2 hours I sprayed it. Actually I can’t smell any leather in this and I am not sure if I like that fact or not.
    IMO this is a spring fall fragrance to be used during night time, maybe to a bar with friends but not to a disco, Probably to a coffee date but not to a dinner party.
    If you ask me would I pass or buy this one. I am not sure. I think I smelled similar perfumes before, but I will have to try it again to help in the decision.
