Performance notes and sources
Bleu de Chanel
Exact EDT Basenotes reviews describe medium projection and approximately six to eight hours, with shorter wear complaints and ten-hour accounts. This assessment uses EDT reports only and does not borrow performance from EDP or Parfum. Older bottle reviews cannot establish identical performance for every current batch. Categories are approximate; wear varies by skin, application and version. Community scores were not converted to hours.
