It’s fantastic.  I think the negative comments are simply a manifestation of a social media mind virus of people who have been swimming in an ocean of overdone, overdose, and over-hyped predictable fragrances.  The ozonic quality is really uplifting unlike so many of the hammer-on-your-head fragrances coming out these days.  Strangely, I find it unisex because the iris does not come out until much later in the dry-down.  It seems very French to me and therefore very Guerlain.  I’ve been wearing it for two weeks and the longevity is quite nice.  It changes a lot throughout the day.  9/10 because I find the packaging not that attractive.  Otherwise, it’s a solid release.

I think lheure Bleu was never replaced, It will always be the original one. This one is a new and different perfume inspired on the original one. ❤

I received my bottle yesterday (blind buy) and I really like it! I'm old and a Guerlain aficionado from way back, with no sentimental attachment to the past. I have a vast Guerlain collection. I think this is a very clever perfume and it smells good. The performance is amazing. I get a strong, clean neroli blast. It's very diffusive and lasts a long time. Its character is sweet. I don't specifically pick up on the iris (yet) but the vanilla is present. It's fresh and sunny. I don't find it to be sour and I disagree with the criticisms I've heard of this fragrance. The work that went into this is clear to me. It's clever because it ticks the boxes of what people say they want - performance, sillage, longevity, fresh, clean, slightly sweet. It has also invigorated interest in the OG version, which I enjoy but can only wear occasionally because it has such a specific mood, slightly melancholic and I don't want to feel that way all the time. I think in time there will be a real following of this perfume and it will become a staple in some collections. To me, this is a successful release.

I have tried the new LHB- I find it similar to many perfumes hitting the market today: Kayali, Killian etc. I don't see how the brand could find young buyers when the market appealing to them is huge, but they definetely allienated their old customers with  this.

I simply love it. I’m gonna buy it for my birthday in two months. I only have a small decant and I don’t want it to run out. Such a beautiful fragrance!

I tried it on skin last week and was devastated. I’m a fan of Guerlain and have been using their perfumes for more than 35 years.  This one I just can’t understand and actually had to take a shower.  To me it’s just a very stong fabric softener smell, and it really is the first time that I use this descriptive. I whish that had stayed closer to the original.  They better not do this to my Mitsouko.  Anyway…Sending love to all Newyorkers today.

I have the original and blind bought the new one. I actually love them both. I totally understand the attachment to the original fragrance,  but I can appreciate the new L'Heure Bleue as well. I believe if Guerlain hadn't used the same name, the negativity would not be as intense. So, from a marketing perspective, it was not necessarily a good idea. But since they have, I hope that the new can be appreciated for it's own merits.

I love it! The first spray was a surprise, but not an off putting one. But those top notes dissipate quickly. I feel like it dries down into almost marshmallow. Maybe that's the vanilla and orris. It wears so smoothly on my skin and I just love it. I think the opening ozonic note can certainly be polarizing but the hate is undeserved. It's simply lovely. I think the reusing the name was a very clever marketing trick to get a new generation of noses interested in the house and its history and classic scents. They are cashing in on the cache of the original L'Heure Bleue in order to pique interest overall. And it's working.

To be honest, I’m not familiar with the older versions, but I was absolutely blown away when I tried this fragrance 💙. I even thought it might be by Quentin Bisch — that’s how it came across to me at first 🙈.

However, that ozonic note doesn’t last too long on me, and on my skin it develops into such a beautiful scent. I’ve already received compliments on it!

The fragrance is unique, dreamy, and unlike anything else I currently have in my collection. For me, it’s such a wonderful discovery, and an absolute pleasure to wear 💙💙

I am
Returning mine 😔

I understand that this is a modern interpretation of a classic powdery scent. I love this new interpretation but one would have to be a fan of “Joop” like scents. I am such a fan and couldn’t stop wearing this! It is truly addictive!

I loveeee this one 💙

I tried this last weekend and have to say I was disappointed. The ozonic note on my skin was front and centre and super long lasting. I didn't pick up pear or iris and only on the deep dry down did I pick up a toasty vanilla. I too am bemused as to why Guerlain named it such, as I don't consider it to be a flanker at all, there is no comparison to the original, which they're now calling L'HB 1912. Having said all that it's not terrible but felt more like a designer fragrance than something coming from Guerlain, though I understand them wanting to attract a younger customer.

Hey! It is beautiful!❤

Today is my second time wearing this. I wore out last night after my evening shower. I get a ozonic blast with clean, laundry-esque orange blossom and neroli. It’s clean, and very strong with 2 sprays.

I’m glad that they didn’t OD on the calone. I can’t stand when ozone notes go over to the cucumber and melon side. I don’t get the Iris but it does get more powdery as it dries down. The orange blossom is strong throughout the wear.

I’m so glad that I don’t get wet dog, eggs or anything else that people are reporting to get. I am enjoying it! 😊

Can’t compare to the OG, as I’ve never smelled it and when I went to purchase it online - it seems to be sold out at most places.

I wish I got the bitter almond note! Will see what else I pick up throughout the day.

I have the original EDP. I appreciate this for what it is. I have tested it. It's lighter and less melancholy. I don't think this has anything to do with the original. And I'm okay with it. Will I buy a small bottle? Yes. I get mineral, not ozonic. I get the powder puff, but I do not get almond. I like the dry down a lot, as well as the projection and sillage. I think that people can't get past the naming convention/controversy, which is sad. It's a perfume you wear. You don't wear the name or the blue (although I really like the blue).

LHeur Bleue has nothing to do with the original yet the scent is beautiful.
On my skin the ozonic note is barely detectable certainly not in the drydiwn wich is fortunate as I don't like ozinic note in perfume.
Also L'Heur Bleue was not replaced 😊

I just bought the lg bottle and the refill last night, I’m excited.  I  purchased the rose extract Gulan w it.   Last week I received the vanilla 21 Gulan just fantastic in my opinion .  I’m just thrilled with what they did. This smell this new blue smells like/reminds me of my Nana, She was an absolute gem. 💎 in fact, she went to see Liberace years ago and he stopped his concert and asked her if he could buy her emerald ring. Priceless. What a character just one of the million of her stories. Thank you, blue.
Thank you for your review.

I don’t know the original L‘heure bleue, but I immediately fell in Love with this one ❤

Thanks for sharing Antonella!  I haven't heard good things!
