It's that bright fizzy blue elixir with the power to make eyes sparkle-sparkle-sparkle and transform sadness into revolutionary energy. With only a few years remaining to change our ways, this pep-juice will unite the masses, clean the beaches, take on the establishment, save the blue planet and turn your tongue blue.
This is not an "aqua" or "Bleu de..." style perfume. SMELLS LIKE: sparkling milky blue violet-berry soda over frankincense and patchouli with the original Pipe Bomb's infamous saltwater, sweaty metallic blast. Clean, fresh, bright, and optimistic. Possibly more "femme" than PIPE BOMB PINK and can be worn by her, him, and them.
Because you asked for review before the perfume arrived. I gave you 5 stars for effort. I’ll happily review again when it actually arrives and I can actually smell it.
I love Blackbird’s Pipe Bomb series—but chose this one for my brother, as this one feels bit younger and more edgy, trendy, and somewhat playful than the Intense or Pink (love the Pipe Bomb as well but to me it feels like a more urban, twisty version of Le Labo’s Another, and less interesting than other Pipe Bomb fragrances). But Pipe Bomb Blue does come with elements of surprise, which makes it more entertaining and exciting. A good perfume for a night out. I would say this leans a bit more masculine than what I’d personally wear (I prefer feminine-leaning unisex scents), but it’s a great perfume a younger man (in his 20-30s) who loves modern and sophisticated designs / aesthetics in general. I still keep sniffing at the sample bottle I got even though I would never wear it myself... there’s something very addictive about this fragrance!
Purchased for my son last summer in Palm Springs and it’s his “smell” now. :) Everywhere he goes people tell him how good he smells… gifted him another for Christmas- God forbid he run out! It’s the best.
To preface, I am a huge fan of Pipe Bomb. PB Blue was the only fragrance I liked out of the sampler I built- perhaps I’m over the harsher smokey scents in any case, this scent has movement. Smells like a strange violet candy off the rip, not powdery or sickly sweet and barely gourmand. The violet moves aside to make room for a salty, mellow incense that lingers and slowly exits at the end of the day. I guess I wish this lasted longer, but then it wouldn’t be a bomb.
