In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Crystal Bleu by Jousset Parfums is a curious unisex blend that attempts to capture a breezy summer afternoon in France. It pairs the tart sweetness of blueberry frozen yogurt with an earthier, resinous base. The scent feels like a casual, modern statement for gourmand lovers who want to move beyond plain vanilla.

Reviews →

Andrea Maack Flux pairs crisp mountain mint with sweet wild blueberry before sinking into dense conifer woods. It captures the damp, atmospheric chill of a northern forest after the year's first frost. This unisex scent suits adventurous noses looking for a fruity woody profile that avoids typical sugary paths.
