Alright, let’s gab about this Bharara Bleu cologne, you know, the one them young folks are all yappin’ about. I ain’t no fancy perfume expert or nothin’, but I got a nose on me, and I can tell ya if somethin’ smells like a barnyard or a bouquet of roses.
First off, what’s all this fuss about “cologne” anyway? Back in my day, we just smelled like soap and sunshine, or maybe a bit of cow manure if ya been workin’ the fields. But these days, everyone wants to smell like…well, I dunno what they wanna smell like exactly, somethin’ fancy, I reckon.
Now, this Bharara Blue…it’s got a blue bottle, pretty enough, I guess. Looks like somethin’ ya might find at the drugstore, but they say it’s real high-quality. High-quality my foot, it better smell good for the price they’re askin’!
- Smell Test One: The Sniff from the Bottle – Ok, so I opened it up and took a whiff. Right off the bat, it kinda stings the nose a bit. Strong, real strong. Smells…kinda like them fancy soaps they sell in the city stores, ya know, the ones that smell like flowers and…somethin’ else. Can’t quite put my finger on it. Citrus, they call it. Like oranges and lemons, but sharper. My grandson says it smells like the ocean. Ocean? Hmph, smells more like a fancy washroom to me.
- Smell Test Two: The Wrist Dab – So, I put a little dab on my wrist, like them salesgirls do in the magazines. At first, it’s still real strong, makes me wanna sneeze a little. But then…it kinda settles down. Still smells like that citrus stuff, but now I can smell somethin’ else underneath. Woodsy, like sawdust, but sweeter. And somethin’…spicy? Like pepper, maybe? It’s a whole lotta smells all mixed together, that’s for sure. My neighbor said it makes her think of her husband’s aftershave, but a bit sweeter and not so… old-mannish. She said it smells “modern”. Modern? What’s that even mean?
- Smell Test Three: The Long Haul – Now, the real test is how long it lasts, right? I ain’t got time to be re-sprayin’ myself every hour, I got chores to do! Well, I gotta say, this Bharara Blue stuff, it sticks around. I could still smell it on my wrist hours later, even after I washed the dishes and fed the chickens. It gets softer, though, less stingy, more…pleasant. The citrus fades a bit, and that woodsy, spicy smell stays behind. It doesn’t smell like sweat or dirt, which is a good thing. I guess that’s what they mean by “long-lasting”.
So, who’s this Bharara Bleu cologne for? I reckon it’s for them young fellas tryin’ to impress the ladies. Or maybe for a fella goin’ to a fancy dinner or a…what do they call it…a “date”? It ain’t for workin’ in the garden, that’s for sure. You’d just be wastin’ good cologne and attractin’ all the bees in the neighborhood.
Now, they say you gotta wear different smells for different times. Like, you wouldn’t wear this Bharara Blue stuff in the dead of winter. It’s too…bright. Too…summery. You’d want somethin’ warmer, somethin’ cozier, for the winter. And you wouldn’t wear it to a funeral, neither. That’d be disrespectful. This cologne is for happy times, I reckon, for parties and celebrations.
Some folks say it smells like other fancy colognes, but I wouldn’t know nothin’ about that. I ain’t never smelled them fancy colognes. All I know is, this Bharara Blue, it smells strong, then it smells sweet, then it smells…kinda nice, after a while. It lasts a good long time, and it probably makes them young folks feel all fancy and important.
Is it worth the money? Well, that depends on what you’re lookin’ for. If you want to smell like a bouquet of citrus and spice and you got money to burn, then go ahead and buy it. But if you’re happy smellin’ like soap and sunshine, well, then you can save your money for somethin’ more practical. Like a good pair of work boots or a bag of chicken feed.
But hey, what do I know? I’m just an old woman who likes the smell of fresh-cut hay and a good rainstorm. This Bharara Blue cologne… it’s somethin’ different, that’s for sure. Maybe that’s what them young folks are lookin’ for these days…somethin’ different. And if that “different” makes them happy and gets them a good date, well, more power to ’em, I say.
Final verdict? It ain’t for me, but it smells…clean, I guess. And it lasts a long time, so you get your money’s worth, maybe. But remember, a good heart and a hard work ethic are more important than smellin’ fancy, any day of the week. Now go on and get yourself some of that…if you like that kinda thing.
