The Verdict
Urban Man is our pick at a fraction of the price. Chanel describes Bleu de Chanel EDT through citrus, aromatic notes, cedar and sandalwood. Armaf's list fills in that outline: bergamot, mint, grapefruit and cardamom, then lavender, cedar, ginger and nutmeg, over patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood and oakmoss. That's the same clean citrus-over-woods shape. Buy the Chanel if the name on the bottle matters to you.
