Dark Blue Blues.

Advantages: Generous 75ml bottle
Disadvantages: No atomiser, doesn't last well

...Hugo Boss hit the fashion market a good few years ago now, famed for expensive suits and contemporary gentlemans fashion. It's not just clothes though, over the years Hugo has released occasional scent, beginning with "Boss No. 1" back in 1985. There must have been something of an "aftershave boom" in the late 1990s and through into the new millenium as there was a constant stream of new scents being released by most of the big fashion houses. So it was that, in 1999, Hugo Boss released "Dark Blue" onto an unsuspecting world. Following on from the wildly successful "Hugo", Dark Blue had a lot to live up to. Hugo, alongside Eternity for Men, had become something of a staple for men aged around 20. So where would Dark Blue fit into the picture? It was squarely aimed at the nightlife, party-people market. The dark-blue glass bottle...

Review of Hugo Boss Dark Blue Eau De Toilette

I guess that's why they call it the blues

Advantages: Only a little squirt is required, ergonomically designed bottle
Disadvantages: Not up to par of other fragrances

...It was my older sister that introduced me to Hugo Deep Blue. It was coming up to my birthday and my mother asked what aftershave I wore. I told her the original Hugo Boss or the original Issey Miyake but not the Issey Blue. Mother being mother got really confused and, bless her, ended up telling my sister that I wore a blue Hugo Boss. Obviously my sister had no idea and ended up buying me Hugo Deep Blue. ****Packaging/bottle**** The bottle is packaged in a sturdy and good quality box that is a rich dark blue colour. On the front of the box there is a label with a picture of what is inside. The box, whilst not really necessary, is stylish and suggests that there is a good quality and premium branded fragrance inside. Compared to other fragrance bottles Hugo Boss bottles are generally drab and boring in comparison, usually...

Review of Hugo Boss Dark Blue Eau De Toilette

Blue, blue, electric blue....

Advantages: Original smell, great packaging
Disadvantages: Pricey, possibly a more mature smell

...What's this I have found lying at the back of a heavily used shelf? Why it's a bottle of Hugo Dark Blue that I was given as a gift oh so many years ago!! Despite the age I still member thinking it smelt something like a badger with halitosis and a limp might wear to try and attract a mate as opposed to myself. Having said that I believe I may have simply been too immature to appreciate the smell as my more developed senses now find this rather pleasant. My tastes in food have completely changed and it would hold true therefore I guess that so would my preferences for smell. Dark Blue actually comes across as a very fresh and original smell, for me it is very sweet smelling and has a definite citrus edge to it without being overpowering. I would not recommend using loads of this at once though as that could soon change - keep it...

Review of Hugo Boss Dark Blue Aftershave

The Blue Mountains

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: nothing

...This next review is on my time on The Blue Mountains National Park, located in Sydney Australia. A few friends and I had decided to hire a van and take a tour of the national park, as we had been recommended it by several people we had met along the way. I am usually a fan of national parks; it gives you a chance to take in the scenic view, it gives you a chance to relax and unwind if you have had a busy week, and you even get to see some wildlife. It?s a great experience, which allows you to camp overnight, whilst also have a magnificent driving experience. History & Park Info: The park covers 267,954 hectares, which included several mountains and rivers along the trek. The highest point of the park is Mount Werong (1,215 m), and there are some breathtaking views from the top. The area became a national park in 1932, and ever since...

Review of The Blue Mountains

in life, the blue things are always the best

Advantages: THE greatest smell, nice bottle, long lasting aroma
Disadvantages: slightly expensive

...I first bought Dark Blue a year or so ago "duty free" on my way back to England from France. I say duty free but really by then duty free had disappeared and it was "duty free prices" catchy!! I was in need of some new fragrance since id stupidly left my CK in the last hotel i'd been staying at. In hindsight, the leaving of my CK was less stupid than I had originally thought. Upon first trying the Dark Blue tester I was amazed at just how nice it smelt, not that awful mans man aftershave smell, nor a girly, flowery smell either, it sat perfectly in between, a pleasant, not overpowering man's fragrance. If I could describe the aroma I would, but its not like anything else really, the smell is sweet, but far from sickly with a slightly tangy, citrusy feel to it i suppose and subtle hints of flower/other nature aromas. Basically all I...

Review of Hugo Boss Dark Blue Eau De Toilette

Berol and Kaitlin, the perfect partnership!

Advantages: Promoted as the best pen for schools and teachers alike.
Disadvantages: Better quality so a little dearer in price.

...record with keeping pens in her possession, she says she loses them but I am reliably informed that she shares her goods out between her friends, she hates it when I tell them to get there own mothers to buy them! The pens in this instance write with black ink, though they are also available in blue ink, but Kaitlins school prefer black. The nibs are the fibre type, with the nib being quite fine at the ends, so the child (or adult) have to make sure they don?t use undue pressure when writing with them as the nib can break, and then splay out on the end making them unusable. The ink comes out with not problems, but are also less likely to leak, another plus for school use as the kids have to carry everything in one bag, so a pen leak would be disastrous. These pens are the perfect school aid, they fit a child?s hand perfectly, thus...

The Dull Blue Diary :(

Advantages: beautiful descriptions, kat was a lively character I enjoyed reading about
Disadvantages: overall it was dull, dull dull!

Review of Blue Diary - Alice Hoffman

The Dark Knight returns

Advantages: Still to the high standards of the first film
Disadvantages: 152 minutes in length!

...Gordon off to a tee. Gordon as a character has a destiny and I hope that in the following films that this plays out to entirety. Oldman's performance in The Dark Knight is spot on. The saddest part of the cast is the late Heath Ledger; we all know that Ledger passed way earlier this year. His input into this film is staggering. His take on The Joker is what the cinema just hasn't seen for years and I think that it is this film that Ledger will be remembered for as he effectively grounds the character and totally rebuilds him into a totally different type of villain that we haven't seen before in this genre of film. His Joker has all the trademarks of the comic character in appearance such as the green hair and build, but what Ledger has done is to take his attitude towards life and increase it by 200% so that the character in the film has...

Review of The Dark Knight (DVD)

The "Dark Horse" Of Music

Advantages: Highly varied. Something for everyone
Disadvantages: Ballads off-putting

..."Dark Horse" is the sixth album from the alternative rock band from Canda, Nickelback. This 2008 relase, came after the great success which they accomplished from the initial, and re-reease of "All the Right Reasons", which came out in 2005. Despite having numerous hits over the years, "Rockstar" amy have hindered the group as the big tune quickly got annoying to many listeners, and so with this album, they attempt to re-create the success which they had prior when that track came out. 1. "Something In Your Mouth" Although I haven't heard it on the radio (due to the fact I would never go onto a station which would play them), this was the mildly successful second single by the band, and it has them go for a Hard Rock track, where their lyrical content is largely adult-themed. I really enjoyed it, and I expect that had it received...

Review of Dark Horse - Nickelback

Out of the Blue

Advantages: Striking, affecting combinations of music and visuals, strong central performance.
Disadvantages: Perhaps a little too blue.

..."Now I have only one thing left to do: nothing. I don't want any belongings, any memories. No friends, no love. Those are all traps." This is the resolution of Julie Vignon (Juliette Binoche), the central character of Three Colours: Blue. The survivor of a car crash which took the lives of her husband Patrice, a celebrated composer, and her young daughter, she desires nothing but to withdraw from life, cutting all ties and bonds that formerly surrounded her. The creation of a Franco-Polish collaboration, and the last project of acclaimed director Krzysztof Kieslowski, the Three Colours trilogy (Blue being the first, White the second and Red the third) takes as its focus the three foundations of the French state; Liberté, égalité et fraternité. Reflecting also the French tricolore, Blue deals with an interpretation of Liberty...
