‘My dad liked it so much I gave what was left to him and he wears all the time. So nice’
Boots shopper are snapping up a half price fragrance in time for Father’s Day and it has rave reviews. Jimmy Choo Man Blue is usually £78 a bottle but has dropped down to £39 for a 100ml bottle.
It opens up with notes of lavender, black pepper, clary sage and bergamot before settling into a heart of ambergris, leather, cypress, apple and pineapple. There’s a warm base of vanilla, sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli.
It’s a great option for fans of Eros by Versace (£39.99 for 30ml) who are looking for a slightly better value product. The scent has also proven popular with those who enjoy Explorer by Montblanc (£39 for 30ml).

Man Blue has brought in an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 from over 100 reviews, with 98% of shoppers saying that they would recommend it. One wrote: “This is by far my favourite scent whether it be for everyday use or special occasion. This is gonna be my signature scent! This one was love at first sniff.”
Another swears it’s a compliment magnet, writing: “This perfume is fantastic! It has the perfect combo of sweet and spicy scent. I’ve worn it several times now and I get at least 3 compliments every time! Highly recommend!”
A disappointed shopper found the longevity lacking, penning: “I want to love it. It has a great scent. It’s on par for what I like. My biggest gripe is that it fades fast. I out this on around 8am and by noon you can barely tell. Unlike the others I have that last all day. If it lasted longer I give it five stars.”

The fragrance opens with freshness of clary sage, followed by bergamot which brings a breath of fresh air and contrasts with the spicy warmth of black pepper.
It is worth noting that the application of a fragrance can impact the longevity of it. For those looking for a more impressive finish we would advise spraying each pulse point at least once.
Another happy customer shared a bottle with their father, saying: “This smelled of delicious powder and lavender. Was great for day or night. My dad liked it so much I gave what was left to him and he wears all the time. So nice!”
