How is it calculated?
These markers are an editorial estimate calculated automatically from the perfume's real accords and their intensity, following the classic reading of scent families (hesperidics and aromatics shine in summer and at the office, ambers and gourmands in winter and in the evening…). They do not come from user votes and do not replace a test on skin.
Why choose one… or the other?
Why choose Bleu de Chanel
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- lemon, incense, nutmeg: all materials absent from Déclaration.
- amber give it a roundness the other lacks.
- More recent creation (2014, against 1998).
- No offer listed for the moment.
Why choose Déclaration
- Its pyramid opens on pepper, vetiver, orange, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Freshness dominates, with fresh spicy and citrus in the lead.
- 28 years of existence (1998): it has proved itself for longer.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
The verdict

Bleu de Chanel — Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette
