Not feminine! Otherwise clean, fresh and creamy, a bit sexy. It reminds me of dove bar soap mixed with male aftershave.

ulianazajcenko

Let me just state that this is my absolute favorite. Smells much more expensive than it is.

Bought it during my improvised trip to Odessa. I was just in the middle of my finals and got on the train just in between the third and the fourth exam.

Odessa is not just a city, it is a smile of God, as they say in Odessa. And this perfume used to be my late teens signature and an ultimate summer vibe.

I love it.

j.andresminor

It smells exactly like CK One, it costs 5 times less Blue Seduction, smells fresh pencil shaves and musky, but too neutral, almost the same as the male version, but in hot humid days when you feel yucky, gloomy, dirty or sweet candy headache esque-vomit inducing, the scent will clean your mind and it becomes therapeutical, a pity it is neutral for my taste, but evoques a spray freshener spa, in a positive way

Jose Zerpa

I bought this for my mom for a change, since she's been wearing CK One for the last 20 years, it was about time to try something new!
She likes to use perfume right after shower and before going to bed, so it had to be something really light and easy to wear. Most reviews I found on Youtube say this is a bit too masculine and it reminds them of the male Blue Seduction.
Well I gotta say, this is absolutely not true. I does not have the dominant melon note, but the opening notes described on here, in perfect symphony. This is a delicious, feminine , fruity fragrance!
This is perfect for hot weather, as a daily freshie and after shower body splash. You can't get any better for the price! CAD $30 for the big 200ml bottle! (6.7 Oz)

LadyJayMac

As someone that LOVES floral aquatics, this one...eh. it was $10 so I blind bought it and it reminds me of the flea shampoo I used to use to wash my dog. Lmao I know that sounds like a terrible review, but that's only at first. After it dries down its a lot better. I spray something heavier on fruit or floral over it and it smells more feminine. Don't get this if you don't like aquatics because it's def not floral or fruity it's fresh and aquatic smelling. But if you like floral aquatics, you should buy Antonio Banderas' other perfume, Queen of Seduction. Now THAT is a nice floral aquatic. My husband ranked that one 2nd out of my entire collection behind Good Girl.

Bluejasminee

It is soft, fresh and perfect for daily use. I wear it going to the office. It can be used for both school and the office. I do not like sweet and sugar perfumes. So I looked for floral and fresh scents. This perfume covers all. The price/ performance ratio is great.

And yes, it is not seductive but definitely remarkable and flirty scent.

xoxoMyke

A fuzzier, more floral version of Light Blue for Women.

Dort0625

I’ve wanted to try this for a while now and I finally decided to spend the 23.99 CAD for an 80mls bottle blind buy and I’ve come to the realization that pear and peony seem to be my favourite combination in fragrances. I did order six different perfumes and all of them have pear and peony in them, it’s something like magic to my nose, it gives this fresh combination that I love so much! Anyone else have any good peony or pear and pear and peony recommendations I would love!

TatianaChoco

Fresh scent for summer splash 🌊💦 The strongest notes are: Violet Leaf, Lily of the Valley with Rose and Raspberries with Musk. It is not a traditiotional fruity scent - you can smell some fruit at the beginning, maybe the first 30 seconds. It is a fresh, clean and watery frag, but with strong hints on flowers. The drydown is a little bit unisex because of Patchouli, I think so.

YesVeruca

I know- celeb scents. But this is one of those light scents that works. So many scents like this fade out before they get to the base notes but this one doesn’t. It’s all there- the fruity, the floral and the musk. It’s a very light unisex skin scent after about 30 minutes. Really easy to wear.

bel.gravia

This perfume is really good. It's hard for me to like fresh aquatic blue scents but this isnt your typical one. It is quite heavy on florals and fruits with some patchouli.

Natalia_Nataly

I used to wear this perfume long time ago and loved it, for me it is a seductive aquatic perfume and unfortunately it does not last long, this scent used to make me so happy, I wish I could find longer lasting alternative.

purple.tin79

I like the opening fruity and fresh
somewhat turns masculine after a few minutes
could be unisex

ChellaJay

Ok so I LOVE Gingham by Bath and Body Works, but hate the longevity. Would this be something like it? Gingham is floral, juicy, sweet and fresh smelling with a tad bit of woody notes hidden. I LOVE how sexy it smells, but I do not want to spend $40 on a 1.7oz bottle. Sorry.

.
.
. I am reading that BLue Seduction might smell slightly like it... or at least in the ball park of the juiciness I'm searching for. I want to blind buy the 6.8 oz bottle, but I do not want to risk not liking it. What do you ladies think?

justfloral

It begins with note of melon + vinyl/banana/adhesive tape (maybe it is violet leaf) + pear + something sweet. Aquatic, icy-fruity, not citrusy. It is really "sky blue" scent, cool and soft. After 15 minutes it is slightly masculine (I get blue Carex soap vibe).

Nice cologne for women.

Isalondon

The opening is a superb blast of alcohol making me sneeze each time I spray myself ! The dry down is quick, fortunately, leaving a very discreet sillage on my skin. Nothing seductive about this fragrance but yes it is blue… acquatic… sweet… synthetic… nothing more… absolutely not a must have !

sonamincult

Good daytime fragrance, not for job for sure. It is light, a bit soapy. I hear notes of pear most. Also melon is noticable. It is safe to buy blind, because it also has good price.

ValentinaSbarbaro

This was a present, that's why I keep it but that's all.

To me it smells almost like a man's cologne. Gives me a headache.

Lybarra118

This is a very nice, clean, fresh scent. I like it! It has a slight men’s aftershave/freshly showered cologne vibe that I’m totally down with. Could almost fall into the unisex category. It’s not half as sweet as I thought it would be, thankfully. Longevity on clothes is 12+ hours and projection is moderate. I imaged this would smell similar to Cool Water, but it’s more in the D&G Light Blue category. Very nice!

ladyjm89

It’s such a soft scent! To the point that it’s overwhelmed entirely by alcohol smell! I bought a 6.8 bottle and thought I was getting a steal, but after heavily spraying my clothing and waiting for the burning alcohol to dissipate, I was very disappointed to find only a faint hint of the scent on me! I don’t even know how to describe it. It’s not unpleasant, it’s just not there at all. Vaguely sweet/fruity. That’s all I get. Big bummer.

moonrise

I stumbled upon this juice when i was looking for daytime fragrance that won't break the bank for tropical holiday. This was greatly priced and smells good so i snatched it right away. The more i wear it, the more i like it. It's casual, fresh, feminine and sweet but never cloying. The 'seduction' part is way off to me because there's nothing sexy about this perfume. It's more for laying around in the beach or doing sports.

danielemcastro

I used to wear this perfume on hot summer days in Brazil. It just makes me feel so happy every single time. Its a fresh, feminine and not-too-sweet fragrance. It is an after shower feeling, when you are just ready to work without bothering your co-workers at the office. Love, love, love, but I can only wear during summer time. After a couple of hours I dont smell it anymore, but its still a classic for me. You might like this one if you appreciate Light Blue from D&G.

catwoman408

This is a slightly negative review, so if you love the scent, don't read it. Fragrances are emotional and I don't want my perspective to mar your enjoyment of this fragrance.

First, let's get this out of the way. Antonio needs to learn a few more nouns. Blue seduction, fresh seduction, cool seduction, cool fresh seduction, cool blue fresh seduction. Too much seduction, especially for a scent that isn't seductive. He could also lose the sleazy pic on the back of the deceptively-large box. Is the woman his daughter? I thought he was married to the actress with all the injections in her face.

As to the perfume--it's nice. Sunny and bright. Neutral and clean. It smells "blue" with a bit of citrus and soap and a Spanish flair. It's like Versace's Yellow Diamonds except watery blue and with even less sillage, which makes it excellent for the office or just being out in public in the U.S. As far as "seduction"--no, but that's not a bad thing. It smells like a child's perfume. It would be innocently dashing for a young boy.

The scent is fresh and subtle. Perfect to spray all over after a shower. It smells synthetic, but, again, that's not a bad thing. Maybe only synthetic notes can be so clean and fresh. I paid $16 for 3.4 ounces, and I think that was fair, although I doubt I'd buy it again. But if this were marketed for prepubescent boys at the same price, I'd buy this as a gift for my young nephew.

Overall, this is a clean, classy, neutral scent for a woman or even for a man. For a young boy, though, this is best in class; excellent.

EDIT: I'm finding the drydown sweetly feminine. This might not be good for a boy after all.

leda_ripa

I just bued this perfume and it reminds me of a man perfume/deodorant. It has a pleasant smell, you can sense the sweetness, but not so feminine, unfortunatelly.

wickeddd

Bought it from a drugstore and didn't expect to like it so much, but this perfume surprised me in a good way.Get a lot of compliments from my colleagues.

ervin.ziri

I used this during all along 2009 year. After that i forgot about it but when i sniff it now it reminds me all about that year that was beautiful and thats why I don't use it anymore. Just want to sniff and remember that's all. It is a very sweet, seductive and happy fragrance that brings good feelings. Use it , you want regret!

Mariel-fragrances

So underrated!! I can´t state how much I ADORE this !!
The fragrance is beautiful, it is fresh, ozonic in a way but yet sweet and spicy some how, the patchouli does magic in this one.
Synthetic or not, this is a gem to me. I am currently going through my 2nd bottle, and surely I would repurchase it when I finish it.
I feel it suits women of any age over 20+. it does have an edge to it, that might give the feel of a male fragrance.. but to me this is definetley a woman´s scent!
You can use it for work, for an afternoon with friends / family, indoors or outdoors, all year round.
The freshness makes it perfect for summer & spring, but the spicy-sweet magic of it also work during autumm and winter.

Sillae is quite good on me during the first 2 hours, then it sits closer to the skin.

Longevity: 5 to 6 hours, depending on the weather heat.
So good for an Eau de Toilette!

Bottle: Meh

Highly recommend it. Keep it going Antonio!

mimilin_yaya

Ahhh, Blue Seduction. I tested it many times before purchasing. I was in need of an aquatic scent and smelling this I picture the summer breeze and being by the sea. At first spray, it is sharp with the different notes trying to find a rhythm. It dries down very fast as a powdery aquatic sweetness. The musk and a hint of sweetness makes the perfume feminine (not candy sweet). Without the sweetness I think that Blue Seduction would be for men. I spray this all the time it is ridiculous. I can't get enough of it. It does not last long on my skin so usually I re-apply or spray (a lot) on my clothes. It is a mesmerizing scent, that's all. Antonio knows how an attractive woman should smell. It is in competition with my Light Blue.

Nikkafragrance

It's heaven for bergamot and pear lovers. Somehow the melon on me in not such a beast. Great fragrance for spring and summer, reminds me a bit of a men's cologne, yet feminine enough. It's longlasting and innofensive aquatic. The more it stays on my skin, the more floral it becomes - I can smell lily of the valley with hints of rose and peony. It reminds me slightly of Chloe Eau de Parfum for women. Love it!

LucyLucy

My co-worker wore this and she loved it very much :) This is a fresh sweet kinda scents and a bit aquatic on my nose. Very affordable too..way better than frag called Today by Avon that she used to wear...

Morgenstern

Blind buy. Smells okay on my clothes, but kind of grossly sweet on my skin. :(

pushya

I feel completely different notes from the list. I feel mint and cedar and i like it.

lirael00

Hello miss Melon! Melon is the most outstanding note in the composition of Blue Seduction. I think it's a first perfume in my collection with melon notes. Verdict: Well really nothing special, nothing bad either, a little bit on a boring side, quite typical fruity-aquatic frag,sillage and longevity are average but overall I don't mind wearing it as sometimes I'm in a boring mood myself and I don't feel like experementing all the time, so when I have one of those days I'm gladly wearing Blue Seduction.

MadeiraD

This is a guilty pleasure for me, a secret passion for calone, fruit and fresh green patch. This is not my normal sort of scent, normally I'm all about heavy half wilted flowers, heavy incense... and yet despite all my black clothes, skull jewelry and Bauhaus albums... I love this, this least goth of all possible scents, it doesn't last long, and it's very likable, easy to wear, celebrity scent-y and yet, something about it just triggers my "Mmmm" response.

This is all fresh seashore and sunshine and ripe fruit, healthy, happy, vital.

aistė.sadauskaitė

I was in the store and picked it up to smell it. Oh gees, this one smells so good, its fresh but very tasty, lovely. When I got back home, ordered it online, couldnt resist.

ezti

My husband very love this scent. I can smell pear and melon in top notes, it's very fresh. For bottom notes, for me it's fresh, woody, powdery in good balance. I have been wearing this blue seduction for 5 years, and still love it. it's very longlasting in my skin, more than 6 hours.

Rutuja152

I liked it initially when I bought it. I was then a complete novice in the field of perfumes, fragrances, notes etc. and this was a blind buy (I liked the name!!).

It is a fruity fragrance with a little bit of aquatic, musk and hell lot of sweetness along the way!!!

The sweetness which is so predominant initially is very overwhelming and cloying and really irritates me.

I found the heart notes tolerable since the sweetness is less noticeable by then (not completely, it's still there).

The good part is the base note - musk and patchouli which is really nice and soothing! I only like the base notes and nothing else about this fragrance.

I really wonder where are the aquatic notes???? where is the freshness???? and importantly whats seductive about this fragrance??!!!

Stay away from this unless you love sweet fragrances..And yes beware! the name is misleading!!

kaypops

If you like the smell of cedar wood, you will like this. This literaly smells like cedar wood mixed with crisp refreshing water notes. I like it...I wouln't call this fragrance sexy or seductive though...to me it smells like crisp clean cedar wood.

UPDATE: I'm starting to realize that I really don't like this fragrance. Then I re looked at the notes and seen that it has pear in it. I've come to find that fragrances with pear in them make me nauseous. The first time I made this review I haden't actually worn it for a great length of time yet...as it sits on me it's giving me a headache.

A.laha

I love it! Its like aquatic meditareon with some light fruit aroma behind it. Also, you can get different nuances as it lasts.
The pretty azure blue bottle has what looks like mosiac tiles on the bottom , does make me think of a pool & sunshine reflecting off the water.

jamado

Sweet, fruity, floral and, don't know why, I found it a little spicy. Love to smell it on my GF. The longevity and sillage are good, not excellent. Very good choice for summer at a fair price.

IsabelAlice

My mother used to wear this one lately. I've lost her on April 3th. So I bought and apply on my pillow to sleep smelling her.

It's nice. Sweet and aquatic. Not refreshing at all.

BlueMarine

This is a blind buy based on previous reviews. Was expecting aquatic freshness, but this is mostly sweet and fruity. OK as a summer fragrance but nothing special.

atiet97

Okay, first...... it's fresh & sweet & potent! For the price, it's a good deal. As a cheapie gift, it's a worth to buy perfume, as long as the wearer favored something sweet. It's floral & melony. There's the sharpness of pear & sweetness of berry, for sure. The sweetness is intensified by the creaminess of gardenia & jasmine. That would make the combination of all notes are way to sweet for my taste. However, in my opinion floral sweetness is way better than the sugary almost diebetic near death sweetness of the gourmand.

bren400

Sprayed it once at a store and shopped around for a couple of hours...nothing but sweetness, FAR from fresh. I am a fresh/floral lover and this is not a good choice, a typical sweet scent, definitely unforgettable. There are $1 fragrances that smell better to me. I say the bottle reminds me of Island by Michael Kors. It's a pretty bottle. Even when I smelled Michael Kors Island back in the early 2000's I didn't like it. That is my honest opinion.

hedikukk

My mother mistakingly bought that for my brother. (She wanted the one for men) When I informed her its actually for women I got it for myself. I was 17-18 then and I loved it. Very fresh and girly. Not offensive and and definately good to wear at school. If you have teenage daughters- perfect buy. A-student perfume. :-)

Miriana93

It is a fresh, clean smell which reminds me of sea water. I do not wear it much because it reminds me of men's cologne but I love the way it smells - I just want to smell more girly. I love to smell it from the bottle but I don't like smelling like it. It reminds me of Cool Water but I think Cool Water is slightly more feminine. It lasts for a very long and my sister got several compliments from guy's when she wore it.

sky74

It starts awfully loud, fruity, tangy, a mishmash of smells, not the greatest.
But after about an hour: It settles down beautifully, like a really lovely fresh, cool & crisp soap. I went from really disliking it to really enjoying it. For such a cheap price, it's very good!

p.s
My 6 year old daughter just loves this scent. She loves smelling the bottle and asks me if she could spray some on herself. Of course I always agree...

bebekesasar

Blue Seduction. I don't get why it is called "seduction", it is not seductive at all. In fact, Blue Seduction is fresh, aquatic, fruity, slightly sweet fragrance. For the price, it is super! Of course, it does worth blind buying. Very safe, great for summer. For me, Blue Seduction is a substitute for Kenzo L' Eau 2. There is a same vibe I get from both of them. Kenzo is just slightly fresher and less sweet. I didn't pay attention to the longevity completely, but I should have known not to expect much for such a low price.

glow_rainbow

very strong at the first spray, but I love when it drying down. Fresh and clean but it's not my favorite.

Marilulu

Nina by Nina ricci is much better and not so artificial. It's not long lasting, at least tree hours.

ravine21

i love it, it's long lasting and good for daily used

Verdi

Feminine, sexy... I bought it once before Christmas. I love this smell... well, Christmas is coming, it's time to buy another one... :)

TRIIRIS94

A good copy of Nina by Nina Ricci.

barbiot35

Has three faces IMO.
Winter face;
Brings a breeze from sea reminding summer days on seaside with warm notes.
Summer face;
Gives a sexy and seductive feeling in hot days without being cloying, good alternative for silent citrusy-fresh summer fragrances.
Spring face;
The best of three faces! It makes happy and lifts the mood up with aquatic notes, makes think about upcoming summer, and makes you forerunner of summer on the street with your fresh cloud behind!!!

tinaelisa

Wooaa this is sweet. I like my great deal of sweet fragrances (flowerbomb, the one, Nina etc) but this one is just too sugary and there's something in there that smells a little off to me. Also I don't get the blue seduction theme at all..

Lettukestit

I've come to realize that patchouli is NOT for me. It's just too strong and does not suit me. This scent has too much of it. Very far from clean, aquatic, fresh.

Teebird

For the past 4 years, this has become my "go-to" scent for the summer--I wear it most often at work and when I don't want to offend, but still want to project a certain amount of sexiness and presence.
It is the perfect blend of mildly masculine aquatic, floral, citrus(barely) and sweet. Often when I am wearing it, it makes me think of Old Spice blended with Nina(new version).
I have had many compliments from both men and women(and the teenaged bagger at the supermarket check-out) when wearing this. Little do they know this is so CHEAP and widely available online.( I have back-up bottles of it, as well as the matching lotion and deo spray) So, even if it doesn't last long on your skin(but luckily, it actually does last fairly long on mine..at least 6 hours and I LOVE the soft patchouli drydown), it doesn't hurt too much to re-apply.
This is a nice hot weather alternative to the super fresh citruses and Light Blues of the fragrance world. Or maybe, it is just me, and this cheapie just works fabulously with my body’s chemistry.

marite.vergina

I just bought this perfume and I love it.

ledzepppelin

i think its beautiful. and yeah price is very nice it last long time

smagure

It's a strong marine smell with a hint of tenderness. At first it seemed a masculine perfume, but now I'd recommend it to a strong, emancipated, goal driven woman.
However, I, being in my early 20's, feel a bit too young for it. Though it could be a good confidence boost for a job interview or other official occasion.

barbiot35

Rapidly picks the mood up! On summer or on the winter...
A quality piece from aquatic family...
But I recommend it best for summer nights (fresh, sexy) and winter mornings (uplifting, energising)...

Raina

This is lovely and I really stuggled with the decision to swap it away. It starts out so beautifully, with the melon and pear lending a sparkling, fruity blend to this aquatic floral. Then the gardenia kicks in and bulldozes over everything else, turning what could have been a summer staple for me into something to be avoided. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty, but for someone who hates the buttery synthetic smell of gardenias in fragrances, this is one to avoid for me. So sad as it is really quite well done.

scentofpeace

i think this is one of those fragrances that people stop you and ask you what you're wearing. it actually reminds me of walking into a mall and into one of the perfume shops -- smells modern, maybe unisex, and interesting enough. The bottle matches the smell very well, like it's blue water that smells fragrant.

Lumiere

This is a review for the body lotion.
I am so pleased with my blind buy, not only because i love body lotions versions of my perfume, but also because it is so pleasant, light, unobtrusively sweet and true, seductive.I will layer it underneach my perfumes, say, L by Lolita, my daughter will layer it for a base for her baby doll-which shares raspberry here to my nose. Pear, bergamot and musk make this scent grounded.

belle femme

yuuuuuuuumy i adore this one
fresh floral a little bit fruity i wear it a lot& i got many compliments on it

weegee

To my knowledge Olivier Cresp hasn't yet created a stinker so when I noticed he'd played a role in creating this my curiousity was piqued.

Even before opening the bottle the brilliant Caribbean blue of the juice lets your nose know that it will be sniffing an aquatic fragrance but even if the juice happened to be dark brown there'd be no mistaking Blue Seduction as anything but an aquatic.

I confess to being mystified by the list of notes. Is it a strange alchemy of melon, pear and crisp green apple that produces the watery effect? I have no idea... but watery this is, indeed.

At first sniff and for 3-4 hours afterward my nose picks up a salty ocean breeze that's tangy with musk, milky with almonds and slightly smokey like fruit-infused pipe tobacco before it's set afire. The 1oz bottle is inexpensive and quite lovely, almost like a small bottle of pale blue ink. There's little that I'd call "feminine" about Blue Seduction but neither is it definitely "masculine"; instead, I'd call it an oddly appealing little unisex gem that any fan of aquatics ought to try.

goingblonde

Well gosh,
something about Antonio i find so charming- he lures me into buying his fragrances without testing first.



At first i get a hint of fruit but then it fades into a smoky aroma- not a good smoky.
The smoke you can smell in the air when there are wild fires burning.
Will I still buyhis scents ? You bet ! L.O.L

gladysme

Cada vez estoy mas feliz con este perfume , mis amigas me dicen que rico perfume . Que buena compra !

Odiee99

A few months ago these were on sale at Walgreens for $7.99 so I asked the clerk if I could smell this. What a nice scent. Blue Seduction is clean,fresh,fruity and a little powdery. This is a nice casual fragrance for the ladies.For the price I just could not pass on this. I bought three of them.

Gave one to my mother (she loves it), one to my 19yr old cousin (she loves it), and one I keep on reserve in case I ever forget an important day, like our 237Th day anniversary or the anniversary of the 1st time we kissed at 8pm on the 2ND Friday of the month. You know how the ladies keep track of these days that we men tend to forget.

One word SmoothandSensual. Fellas definitely pick this one up for your lady friend. She'll appreciate it.

gladysme

Compre uno recientemente , no lo habia probado antes ,venia con un desodorante que fue lo primero que utilice y al sentir el aroma , wow , que rico , me senti muy bien por la compra que hice . Lo recomiendo mucho . Siempre buscaba una opcion mas barata al LIgth Blue y el I love love cuesta casi lo mismo y cuando lei aqui que eran similares me alegre mucho mas . Que buen gusto tiene Antonito!!!!!

Fragaria

I've seen this in the stores forever and have never seen a tester. I just assumed it wasn't much. I just got this from reviews alone. Everyone is right! You can't go wrong. This is comparable and also better than Ralph Lauren Blue. The gardenia in this is agreeable with everything else. This is a must! It's light enough so that it doesn't appear to last a real long time, but I lose scents on myself very quickly and others can smell them for hours after I thought it was gone. It's hard to tell if it will fade or leave that fresh late summer watery freshness for hours. If it doesn't fade fast and I reapply when I don't really need to, it'll be ok because it's such a subtle dreamy little cloud of peacefulness. I must say this is one of the best compared with any other aquatics. It's sad really, this is being clearanced and people are just now appreciating it. I think putting Antonio on the bottle made me turn away. I don't find him attractive. This should become a classic. The gardenia in this isn't sharp and rubbery as I've found it can very easily be. The bottle can sit very proudly on any vanity! Oh what a shame I think, to miss out on this scent. TTFN!

add on...longevity...incredible, and as long lasting as Fancy Love!

LenaBrasil

I loooooove it! There's this aquatic mediterranean smell with some light fruit aroma behind it. Also, you can get different nuances as it lasts. It's really like a blue seduction!

takeasniff

I have just got this and it does smell like Nina Ricci in the little red apple bottle. All day I kept thinking it reminded me of something but I couldn't work out what. I read a review here that said it smelled like Nina and I agree. It lasts well. It is a marine smell but not boring it has a sweetness to it to make it feminine. Everyone has their own opinion but I cannot understand people who think it smells masculine. I don't get that vibe at all. It is sugary if anything. My bottle is different to the picture I have coloured stripes on the side of it?
I would recommend it for any time of year but it isn't seductive in my view just a pretty smell without smelling like a teenager or everyone else who is wearing Daisy by Marc Jacobs. You will stand out a little from the crowd because I don't think this one has caught on as much with people yet.

Antonio Banderas is a good actor, but I never thought he was just as good with his perfume line.
I know there is not a scent of a famous firm, but I highly recommend this one, it's fresh, pretty similar to cool water, but a little less sweet.
The amazing thing is that children like this scent a lot, they find it yummy!

I agree w Perfumemonster. Worth the value, I paid $10 and it surprisingly lasts. Its my first AB scent and I cannot complain. I wont need to invest in C Water or DG Light Blue or RL Polo Sport which are more expensive, smelling similar to this AB scent. Fresh, feminine not too floral or over powering. Could use as office daytime scent. I can use this as a summer go to and/or refresher at the gym anytime also. It smells just as nice and pleasant on me as the Britney Believe I had sprayed on my arms 8 hours ago.

I swear this is a fresher version of Nina. I think they had the same nose behind them. Perfect for everyday wear. I think you cannot go wrong with Blue Seduction.

i love it.....its my second bottle and i would so go for a third one when this is over....recently i saw adds of a limited- edition called " blue cool seduction"....haven't come across it yet though...

Anajuli

Personally, the best fragance I've ever had (and I have had many, both cheap and expensive). It smells like no other. The only weak point I can find in it is that it doesn't stay long in my skin.

I purchased this on a whim because it was on sale and I was looking for an aquatic fragrance for spring/summer. I was not disappointed with Blue Seduction. On me, the fragrance opens very strongly with the violet and bergamot and just a hint of melon. As it dries down, i can detect the rose, jasmine and the gardenia while the violet still remains. Hours later, when it finally settled i could smell the musk and the patchouli. Very different and fresh, i've not smelled anything like Blue Seduction before. Comparable to Cool Water Woman but yet not. I have Cool Water and it and Blue Seduction do not smell anything alike. Blue Seduction is not for anyone that wants to remain anonymous or go unnoticed. I've noticed that when I wear Blue Seduction, men walk a little closer and i get many double takes. Beautiful but not for the shy.

Kinda reminds me of a cross between light blue and blue sugar. Very gourmand and very lovely. Best Antonio Banderas perfume I have. Since I don't expect the longetivy of this perfume to be too good, I sprayed my chest with it after putting a bit of vaseline there first, and I sprayed the back of my neck underneath my hair. I still smell after about a half an hour already... but I sprayed a ton.. hope it continues to last all day

I noticed a group of these Blue Seduction EDT's sitting all by themselves on a discount rack and I unwittingly assumed it was because they were cheap smelling and couldn't sell. I didn't see a tester so I moved on and forgot all about them until yesterday when I stumbled upon the reviews of this scent here on Fragrantica. To my surprise a lot of people liked or loved the scent and I thought, what the hay, I could use an aquatic in my collection.

Well I bought one of the 1 oz bottles last night for the low price of $11 and I couldn't be more pleased. I smelled the melon, cool water, and the lightest hint of floral (I'm guessing violets) instantly. Blue Seduction is a summer beach vacation in a bottle. It reminds me of spending a day on the beach hitting the waves and basking in the sun. Then as the sun starts to recede, lazily retreating to the condo to relax in the pool and gaze at how beautifully the remaining sunlight glints off the colorful tiles at the bottom of the pool.

This perfume lasts a lot longer than it's price demands of it and get's sweeter and cooler the longer it wears. Fruity, watery, fresh and floral not at all synthetic or cheap. The only thing cheap about this beautiful perfume in it's swimming pool house is the price tag.

7.5/10

I have recently become obsessed with aquatics/beachy scents and I happened to stumble across this perfume at Sears so I thought what the heck lets give it a whirl. WOW! Talk about pleasantly surprised....this is fantastic. Totally reminds me of the beach. Clean, light, bright, fresh! This most certainly could give Cool Water & Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue a run for their money! I ended up getting this on sale for $9 for 1 ounce. Well worth every penny. This is going to be a perfect scent for Summer! What a find!

romi_sw

its cute and cheap, like an everyday perfume

Pink&Cupcakes

is good, but not quite win my affection. It's sweet, fresh and dusty in the background. Not last long on my skin, I have to apply 2 to 3 times daily.
It's cheap, cute for everyday use.

sanziana29

I bought the second bottle. Indeed, it is not a designer perfume, but is good for it's price, well done, good for summer days. Blue seduction deserves the money, and the smell is competitive to Light blue (D&G), or Cool water (Davidoff). You dont have to expect some high quality (like Guerlain, or JPG, or DKNY- I love these houses of perfumes), but is ok for a budget edt.
PS- better than Escada into the blue- a true desolation!

Amazingly sweet....today is badminton day. I sprayed a little of this fume in my shirt and walkd in the park and played badminton with friends...when we were about to go home, my friends noticed that there's two little bees on my back shirt and shooo them away...but when i got home the bee was still on my shirt and it seems that it can't get enough of my sweetness hahaha....I love this fragrance...it's sweet yet seductive and sophisticated! I love it!

LadyNatalie

I was so excited to buy this, because of the notes and the reviews!

The opening is sweet melon saying "Hola, soy Antonio Banderas!!" in your skin, and it wasn't exciting to actually smell this frag. I never smelled, roses, gardenia, jasmine nor lily of the valley.

I hate to ruin the party and the glowing reviews below this... But I found the dropdown so synthetic. Like a cheap men's cologne. It's not that it's strong, is just that because all the notes are so chemical, smelling awfully on the skin.

Buying this was a mistake, this smells so cheap, headache-inducing to me.

Bottom line, in its price range 10-15 bucks is a good cologne if you can stand it.

Rici

A lovely, clean, fresh and sexy fragrance that I will recommend any day!

sweetpatchi

Bought it with a great deal. I got the 100ml bottle with free antonio banderas fashion bag, free pink flip flops and other stuff for only $29 in our country. The scent makes me feel so sexy, confident, feminine, fresh and lovely. I think it's unique, haven't smelled anything like it before. I love how fresh and sweet it is. I recieve nothing but compliments! Antonio banderas made a good job on this fragrance for women.

whiterabbit

I tried the perfume in a store. In my skin, I smell first sweet soapy patchouli, like a sweet male cologne. After about an hour, patchouli disappears and appears a sweet, clean, fresh, aquatic scent - nice, but too weak. Lasts about 3-4 hours. Not for me, anyway.

Karitsa

I find this one very similar to Nina, and for my surprise despite the actual price it doesn't smell cheap at all. I wear it a lot during the summer and I get many compliments then:D

starr

this is a fantastic perfume it suits my natural body scent perfectly i found it very warm and sweet with a kick in the ass awsomeness i cant even describe. its flirty and not too overpowering im noy too keen on how the bottle looks because it is too similar to (kors)islands, but overall this has been well done and i hope it will last.

AngelaGanttCarp

Great for all ages. Wish it lasted longer on the skin but great for summer. It is a beautiful smell and is okay for my sensitve nose.

Aria-Rose

Seductive indeed. On the right woman, this could make seduction completely effortless. Envision a cool February rain showering over Bulgarian Roses and Jasmine, brushed by Violet leaves then thinly masked with fruits and musk. This... is Blue Seduction.

vioversilver

Very casualy sexy, fresh, breezy scent. Pear makes it juicy , not sharp. So beachy , clean and carefree. The violet scent is wonderful in this too. Sweet in a fizzy pop way,very likable.

This really pretty azure blue bottle has what looks like mosiac tiles on the bottom , does make me think of a pool & sunshine reflecting off the water.

1bighairfan

I just tried this perfume for the first time,and was not really pleased with the way it smelled on me..I tried it on my 20 something sister,and she told me she was going to go home, and wash her top !! It reminded us of a soft-not so pleasant masculine scent..( manly melon) is how we described it..We think your great Antonio,just not this perfume.!!!

ramiske

I rarely go for aquatics, but this one was a pleasant surprise! It is a really nice summer fragrance, and you can get incredible deals on it too. It reminds me of something else I have in my collection, but I can't quite but my finger on it yet. For the price, it has really good staying power.

Plus, the bottle is beautiful--the design on the bottom almost looks like tiles in a swimming pool--and totally reminds me of summer!

tsofa

I feel the summer, the breeze of the sea, the sun on my face… I feel like I fell in love with Blue Seduction!

With the first spritz the delicious smell of melon comes to my nose and then the pear follows. The flowers are lovely and from the base notes I even like the benzoin which in other perfumes I would avoid like hell!

Will this be one of my favorites fragrances? I don’t know but I've decided that me and Blue Seduction will be together for a long-long time! And Gatoulis, no, it’s not a ‘cheap’ fragrance. Just wait till you smell it….

Belladonna

I bought Blue Seduction for Women because I think Antonio Banderas is smouldering sexy! If he were taller, younger, and not married, he’d be my fantasy dream man. This perfume is peculiar on my skin. At first it’s fruity and pleasant to everyone around me. In the middle it’s spicy fresh and reminds me of my grandfather, who passed away from an unexpected heart attack. It's not bad, because I always thought Grandpa smelled nice, but masculine. After a while it goes back to smelling fruity but never sugary. Overall: Blue – yes it’s cyan/aqua blue, the colour of glass cleaner or mouthwash; Seduction – sorry, doesn’t make me feel sexy. Ahhh, Antonio…

Lady Macbeth

I think a didn't found such a lovely little spring-perfume a while ago.. It's refreshing and feminine but also gives warmth and comfort, being soooo clean! It reminds me a bit of Tribu by Benetton because Tribu is also a very clean and fresh perfume.
Only thing I'm confused a bit is how come Blue S. has melon in it when I cannot smell it at all! I hate melon scent and I would never by this perfume if only I looked at this page before. >:)

Halvah

It's very nice, on my skin more fruity than aquatic, but really clean, seductive, not a cheap smell at all. I like it.

Enchantia

A very pleasant floral aquatic fragrance. This will probably be my second favourite floral aquatic scent after Rochas' Aquawoman (which unfortunately has been discontinued).

I love floral aquatic fragrances but after Aquawoman, I have never been able to find another floral aquatic perfume that suits me. But now, I'm so glad I've finally found the perfect replacement for Aquawoman.

Blue seduction is very fresh and feminine, suitable for everyday use, or for those days when one feels like taking it easy. I feel very relaxed after smelling it. Just can't stop sniffing my wrists! Great scent for a great price. I love the bottle too!

tanyast

Fantastic fragrance!Very good combination!So feminine!

perfumista

it's a nice everyday perfume, nothing glamourous, nothing sexy.... clean, fresh/// when u smell it u think of smth white or blue...

vtothek

As far as aquatics go, it's very nice and easy on the nose. Not too overpowering yet still noticeable, and a good price.

Missykitten

I really like this perfume. It is light and fruity with nice powdery softness.
