About Borsalino La Vie en Blue
La Vie en Blue comes from Borsalino.
La Vie en Blue: day or night?
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Nina Ricci L'Air Du Temps is a lighter match.
Is La Vie en Blue long lasting?
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. It lasts about as long as Tom Ford Black Orchid and Giorgio Beverly Hills Red. Base notes like amber and benzoin are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Elizabeth Taylor Passion for Men and Nina Ricci L'Air Du Temps.
