Crave vs Bleu de Chanel

Crave is highly regarded by the community as a unique, discontinued fragrance with a distinctive salty-savory profile and fresh drydown that appeals to fragrance enthusiasts. While extremely difficult to source due to discontinuation, those who own it consider it a prized collection piece that develops character with age.

The r/fragrance community largely views Bleu de Chanel as an excellent designer fragrance that deserves its popularity, with particular praise for the EDP and Parfum versions. While some find it overhyped or prefer alternative fragrances, most agree it's a reliable, well-balanced everyday scent that belongs in any collection as a versatile baseline. The consensus is that it's popular because it genuinely performs well, not just due to marketing hype.
