With another glance at Antonio\u2019s black-fringed eyes, I choose \u201csensuous.\u201d The website spits out its suggestion: Blue Seduction for Women.<\/p>\n<p>Ah, Antonio. I guess we were never meant to be.<\/p>\n<p>Antonio Banderas Blue Seduction for Women was released in 2008. Perfumer <a href=\"https:\/\/nstperfume.com\/perfumers-a-to-e\/olivier-cresp\/\">Olivier Cresp<\/a> developed it, and it has notes of bergamot, violet leaves, pear, melon, gardenia, peony, lily of the valley, Bulgarian rose, jasmine, raspberry, benzoin, patchouli and musk. The perfume\u2019s website describes it more simply as a \u201cwoody, fruity, floral\u201d fragrance with citrus notes, \u201cwatery fruits,\u201d and a sugar note.<\/p>\n<p>To me, Blue Seduction hints at the scent of an Ocean Fresh antiperspirant. I smell a lot of sweet, clean musk, spiked with aquatic notes and an assertive hit of bergamot. A little bit of juicy fruit shimmers over the top but never really settles into the fragrance\u2019s heart. As the fragrance ages, the sweet musk takes center stage, but after a few hours \u2014\u00a0surprise! \u2014\u00a0a really nice vetiver steps to the forefront. The vetiver is herbal enough to remind me of marjoram, and it carries Blue Seduction through its last few hours, joined by patchouli right at the end. Two spritzes of the fragrance last a good nine hours on me.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Blue Seduction edges toward foug\u00e8re. If it weren\u2019t so sweet, I\u2019d peg it as a masculine.\u00a0As for calling Blue Seduction \u201csensual,\u201d I have to pause at that, too. \u201cSporty\u201d is more like it. Blue Seduction\u2019s healthy cushion of musk might be considered sensual, but the perfume\u2019s citrus-ozone body leads me to imagine someone swimming laps at the gym rather than lounging in a dimly lit boudoir. The perfume&#8217;s vetiver-laden ending is also more invigorating than sensual to me.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Spitz, I think we found you a good cologne. As for the rest of us, well, Antonio Banderas has dozens of fragrances in his line up. Maybe we\u2019ll have better luck next time.<\/p>\n<p>Antonio Banderas Blue Seduction for Women comes in 15 ml, 30 ml, and 50 ml Eau de Toilette and in bath and body products. It\u2019s widely available at drugstores and online discounters.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"display-posts-title\">Possibly of interest<\/h2>\n<div class=\"display-posts-listing\"><div class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/nstperfume.com\/2019\/09\/06\/regime-des-fleurs-chloe-sevigny-little-flower-fragrance-review\/\">Regime des Fleurs Chloe Sevigny Little Flower ~ fragrance review<\/a><\/div><div class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/nstperfume.com\/2019\/05\/13\/carrington-perfumes-forever-krystle-fragrance-review\/\">Carrington Perfumes Forever Krystle ~ fragrance review<\/a><\/div><div class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/nstperfume.com\/2017\/07\/21\/11-cheap-perfumes-beauty-outsiders-love\/\">11 Cheap Perfumes Beauty Outsiders Love<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nstperfume.com\/2012\/07\/27\/antonio-banderas-blue-seduction-for-women-fragrance-review\/\">Read the rest of this article <span class=\"meta-nav\">&raquo;<\/span><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72935\" src=\"https:\/\/nstperfume.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/antonio-banderas-blue-seduction-women.jpg\" alt=\"Antonio Banderas Blue Seduction for Women\" width=\"150\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.antoniobanderasfragrances.com\/home.php\">Antonio Banderas perfume website<\/a>, you can take a quiz to help you select one of the many <a href=\"https:\/\/nstperfume.com\/perfume-houses-a-to-b\/#AntonioBanderas\">Antonio Banderas<\/a> fragrances.
