Match #62 in the second-chance bracket pits the classic blue fragrance, Bleu de Chanel EDP, against the now-defunct Galleria Parfums By the Yuzu Grove. I've praised By the Yuzu Grove throughout this tournament, and for good reason. That enormous blast of yuzu, lemon, and mandarin is one of the most delicious citrus openings I've encountered. It's bright, energetic, and ridiculously enjoyable. The weakness is what happens afterward—or, more accurately, what doesn't. There's relatively little development, and the fragrance remains fairly linear. Bleu de Chanel EDP is simply playing a different game. Grapefruit and citrus lead into ginger and aromatics before gradually settling into incense, cedar, sandalwood, and amber woods. It's beautifully blended, sophisticated without being stuffy, and it develops wonderfully over several hours. Then there's the versatility. All seasons, almost any occasion, dressed up or dressed down—Bleu de Chanel remains one of the standards against which modern blue fragrances are measured. I love both of these, but this isn't a particularly difficult decision. By the Yuzu Grove may have the more spectacular opening, but Bleu de Chanel is unquestionably the better fragrance from beginning to end. Bleu de Chanel EDP advances. By the Yuzu Grove is eliminated from the tournament. Sometimes the citrus bomb wins the opening battle. Chanel wins the war.

#sotd... Dior Homme Sport 2021 by Dior... This is a spicy woody fragrance. Dior took this version into a whole different direction than your normal Dior Homme line by removing the powdery Iris and focus more on a sharp citrus and that is blended with some woodsiness. The opening hits you with a bright and zesty citrus scent before transitioning into a sharp spiciness. The dry down is sophisticated and woody making this a versatile fragrance. Good projection for the first few hours. Great longevity for a EDT as I went 7 hours before refreshing. I give this a solid 8.5 out of 10.

Good morning gentlemen. Decided on this today for the gym and work
