Citrus, a bit of apple, a bit of carnation for spice, jasmine and lily of the valley background… nice opening but I smelled it before: Light Blue. I agree with takemyhusbandplz on this. The two fragrances are quite the identical especially in the top notes. Shanghai Butterfly moves toward lily of the valley and misses the green bamboo note that is in the heart of Light Blue, so there’s a variation there. The drydown has the biggest change: Shanghai Butterfly doesn’t last anywhere near as long. I voted Light Blue a thumb’s up but certainly not this one.

I like the smell of this, similar to Light Blue, yes, but not as strong and without the impact. I had Light Blue a few years ago and loved it. I put this on and the smell is so faint. I'm pretty sure people can't smell anything on me. I will try to put this up for market when that wardrobe option becomes available.

Oh man... this is just D & G Light Blue but with no character or personality whatsoever.

This reminds me of the Victoria Secret's Sexy Dare body spray I got for Christmas. It was VERY fruity on my skin. I thought it was okay when I smelled it at the fragrance counter, but once I sprayed it on, all I could smell was orange juice.

I totally agree with takemyhusbandplz.

This is a lighter "Light Blue" with an ever so slightly darker base that has half the longevity of D&G.

It is a nice fragrance except it smells like a duplicate version of Light Blue. Light Blue has grapefruit through from top to the heart notes. Shanghai Butterfly (SB) has less citrus opening. When both merge to the heart notes, it is almost identical except Light Blue is cleaner and crispier, and SB is sweeter and slightly intense in floral. Lasting power is similar for both perfume on my skin.

SB will still receive thumbs up because it is a nice fragrance.
