Good day, everybody! Today I am battling two excellent Fragrance du Bois offerings: Oud Bleu Intense vs. Cayman Bleu Cayman Bleu is apparently an oudless reformulation of Oud Bleu Intense, and that’s apparent out of the gate. While they are very similar, Cayman Bleu opens a bit lighter and brighter, with a hint more citrus; while Oud Bleu Intense definitely has more depth with a touch of non-stinky oud and a more apparent incense note. Cayman Bleu did have a bit of a funky note at the open that I didn’t love (maybe the onycha, whatever that is) but thankfully it faded after half an hour. Both are monsters - 3 sprays to the arm for each, and 5 hours later I’m still getting both wafting up to my nose. The drydowns are similar, a lovely balsamic amber that still somehow hints at citrus. Both are full bottle worthy - definitely an interesting take on “blue” fragrances, built around amber and resin more than something like BDC which has more of a woody backbone. But I think I prefer Oud Bleu Intense - I enjoy the relative richness, which also makes it more versatile throughout the cooler months (but it’s still light enough for summer - just maybe not in the highest heat, where Cayman Bleu would definitely work better). Also, Cayman Bleu is harder to find at a discount as it’s a limited release. So taking all that into account, I’m thinking if I can find a deal on Oud Bleu Intense, I gotta get a bottle
