{"product_id":"mdcisatinmini","title":"MDCI Bleu Satin EDP - Last call 8 ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eMDCI Bleu Satin is Inspired by Thomas Gainsborough's famous The Blue Boy, Bleu Satin is a bright, fresh, exuberantly fruit-forward celebration of a scent, sure to appeal to lovers of fruity masculine scents everywhere. Impossibly juicy bergamot and electric green notes open the scent in full swing, while a deliciously fruity heart really separates\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBleu Satin from its cohort, with sweet, intoxicating cassis and mouthwatering watermelon set against a hypnotically lush jasmine- fresh and elegant in equal measure. Finally, a base of gently-spiced leather lends longevity without sacrificing the vibrant spirit of the scent. Sophisticated and youthful, colorful and fresh, Bleu Satin is a new high-water mark for the fruity masculine, and we can't get enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBleu Satin Notes: Bergamot, lemon, green notes, jasmine, cassis, watermelon, saffron, leather, woody notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eREVIEWS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - This opens with prominent black currant\/cassis. Watermelon note comes in later and it smells better than I was expecting. Not synthetic smelling. This is also pretty strong and has decent longevity and projection. This is better than current batches of Aventus which have more bergamot and less musk. There's a high quality saffron and blackberry here too but I don't get leather or much woods on my skin. In the drydown you do get some Aventus feels. This might be may favorite take on this type of scent except vintage batches of Aventus, which are better. Over the years I've grown tired of the Aventus DNA, but this is different enough to get me excited about it again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - Wow!! Think a watermelon instead of pineapple based Aventus with a suede \/soft leather dry down. This has been a real compliment getter from my wife and from my co workers. Performance on my skin is amazing a good 8-10 hrs with a decent projection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - Oh wow - the Aventus feel is there, but this just feels better and just more elevated. This has a slight bubblegum element to it, which I do enjoy, as well as the fruity-citrus accord. I feel it works, as a unified scent, with a concept, a theme and the execution. I'm gonna need to try this out a few more times as I am quite taken by it. I usually give a scent a few wears before I make a decision on it, but as far as first impressions, it's a big yes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - An intriguing perfume, with watermelon and citrus notes backed by leather. Lemon and leather go so beautifully together that to me they're one of the great pairings in perfumery (think of Versace L'Homme, Eau Sauvage Cuir Fraiche, Imaginary Authors The Cobra and the Canary, etc.), and bergamot of course goes with just about anything. The watermelon in here seems more dominant than either of these citrus notes, however, and it's surprising to me that the former goes fairly well with leather... (although maybe the lemon and bergamot help that along).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - The opening will undoubtedly remind you of Aventus as others have noted, but I much prefer the dry down in this one. I mostly get tropical fruits+musk, and it works really well. While it's nothing groundbreaking, it's an easy wear and very pleasurable experience. The price tag is definitely steep for this genre, but if you can afford it, it's a nice high quality alternative to the aventus\/elysium\/cedrat Boise types\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - Higher quality Aventus. Aventus has lost its quality and longevity. This is a higher quality version of it\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - it's a well crafted unique fragrance...IF you like Nishane havicat and Creeds Aventus, do yourself a favor and try this, gives you a different take on the genre I personally think Aventus isn't what people make it out to be. I remember when it came out and all the hype it had, I couldn't wait to get my nose on it ... then it came and I was like, hmmm yeah this smells good, but I wanted more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MDCI","offers":[{"title":"1\/2 ML - 1\/2 Filled Sample Vial","offer_id":44767866093729,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 ML - Glass Vial","offer_id":45306720813217,"sku":null,"price":10.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767866159265,"sku":null,"price":22.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767866126497,"sku":null,"price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767866192033,"sku":null,"price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 ML - Glass Roll On","offer_id":44767866257569,"sku":null,"price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767866224801,"sku":null,"price":88.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1993\/6689\/files\/mdcibleu.jpg?v=1737148436","url":"https:\/\/theperfumedcourt.com\/products\/mdcisatinmini","provider":"The Perfumed Court","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
