Blue Seduction for Men
Antonio Banderas (2007)

Melon, mint, fruity fresh Blue Seduction is a nice summer scent. I'm not getting any cappuccino in this but there are hints of nutmeg and cardamon that give some nice spice undertones. I found the opening very fruity and as the scent dried on my skin the melon died down and gave way to the fresh ocean and woody notes. Blue Seduction by Antonio Banderas is a fresh aquatic cheapie and since I already own another cheapie in this genre (Nautica Voyage) I'm not sure that Blue Seduction adds anything remarkably unique to my collection. However I do like it and am happy to have tried it. I will continue to wear it during the summer. Blue Seduction lasts most of the day on my skin and has arm length projection, becoming increasingly intimate towards the end of the day.

Whether intentional or not, Blue Seduction is a very good clone of Versace Man eau Fraiche. I actually prefer Blue Seduction over the eau Fraiche as it is not as cloying to my nose. Both are decent fragrances so if affordability is a priority Blue Seduction will not disappoint.

Sweet, fruity, citrus and minty opening. Agree on similarities with Versace Man eau Fraiche but it also feels like a little LeMale eau Fraiche is mixed in there too.

That all lasts for a few hours and then you start to get this creamy, gourmand scent. At first, I thought it was some kind of chocolate-vanilla scent but then I checked the notes and see cappuccino listed. It's definitely not a dead ringer for the coffee drink but it for sure hints at that accord. While the cappuccino is coming out, Blue Seduction does not lose its freshie edge.

The average strength projection dies down about 5-6 hours in and the skin scent lasts all day.

Blue Seduction is a modern fruity crispy summer fragrance, vaguely melony, minty, musky and airy/ozonic. I see the reference to Versace Man Eau Fraiche while I don't specifically catch the cappuccio-vibe, probably this is the final "smoothie-feel" I get (a balmy soapy musky vibe partially soothing the general crispiness). Casual, synth, easy going and dynamic.

Well No one can indeed contest the fact that this is a VALUE FOR MONEY fragrance with a 100ml bottle available for just 20 usd even in India. Well its a Melon blast in the beginning with a touch of creamyness. then very faint woods seep in at a later stage. The fruity vibe lingers on my skin for the entire duration of the fragrance. It has above average lasting power and above average sillage. Very affordable for a Hot and humid place like India. And yes the opening does smell a bit like a melon bubblegum.

Forgot to mention that it does smells like a cheaper version of Versace Eau Fraiche and the womens version of D&G Light Blue.

Fruity Summer Scent I smelled before I came on here to check the notes. The opening smells like candy- Berry flavored bubblegum to be exact. After checking on here, it looks like it's the Melon in conjunction with the Mint notes. After about 20 minutes the Mint becomes more detectable to my nose and a generic woodiness (Oakmoss I guess, looking at the stats) starts to tone down the Melon; this is good, and the fragrance becomes more enjoyable. It isn't amazing, but this stuff is pretty innocuous and not bad for a drug store scent.Pros: InexpensiveCons: Mint + Melon = Berry Bubblegum
