Sensing Blue Water - 0026 - EDP
This is a fabulous fresh summer scent with that Tom Ford dirty gritty magic lurking in the background. This was one of the first fresh scents I ever bought from PP, and I still think it may be my personal favourite. For a guy who doesn’t gravitate towards freshies it’s beautiful. I am looking forward to getting an Extract bottle to replace the EDP I have finished.
Unfortunately I believe the original is discontinued so I can’t make a comparison. But I can say it is not too similar to Costa Azzurra in the standard line which is available today, which is a good thing as far as I am concerned.
This is very citrusy without ever being lemon toilet cleaner, unlike some others I have had from PP.
Scent - 5 / 5
Performance - 4 / 5
I wanted to base my reviews on more than just an unmeasured opinion, so I have used this method to rate all of my purchases at week 1 (under 7 days after delivery) and after week 4 (generally mentioned ‘maceration’ time). I always spray 2x each side in the clavicle, 1x behind each ear and the back of my neck, never on clothes.
With a total score of 10 equally split between smell and performance.
Smell: 0-5
This is obviously just my own taste
Performance: 0-5
Checked at 1, 2, 3, 5 & 9 hrs)
I can certainly say that, without exception, every scent has improved in performance between weeks 1 & 4 and by week 12 many have developed further with tobacco and other warm notes becoming much richer.
I hope this is helpful
