Light Blue , one of the best selling summer fragrances out!

Let me know what you think.

This is my first summer fragrance that I bought, not the best summer fragrance specially coming from D&G I was expecting more from them. Youtube link of course at the bottom of the page :

This one does get lots and lots of hate, some well deserved I'm afraid.

I could never appreciate Light Blue pour Homme. But I do appreciate your reviews.

BTW - I like the sunglasses.

I love the opening to Light Blue, but the drydown is AdG on fast forward.

I think I'm one of the few on here that really does like it. I totally concur with Sokkou though. It's the opening that I love. The rest I just like. And yes it is similar (not the same) as AdG after the opening.

I own and enjoy the original Light Blue, but haven't really been impressed the times that I have sampled the pour Homme version. It's not really bad or offensive to my nose, I just think, when the original is so good, one is probably enough for me. Nice review as always though.

Usually 3-6 hours, but today I tried it on to do my review at 10 am and my gf can't smell it on me anymore but i can faintly smell it on my wrists at the moment and it's 9 pm now. And I sprayed 1 on torso, 2 on chest, 2 on my neck and 2 on my wrists.

Like many here, I enjoy Light Blue for women way more than the male version.

Nice review though, keep it up.

yeah this stuff is non existent after an hour or so, i'll go up to 10 sprays. It is the cologne though that I'll wear when I don't really wanna reek of cologne, or for work....

It's the only fragrance I own that I have to apply an extra 2 sprays, though I heard the EPD is stronger. Afraid to wear it though

Good review once more Marc. But i'm quite neutral about Light Blue PH. I'm a fan of aquatics so i'll admit i will wear light blue but unfortunately i won't spend money to buy it. I do agree it smells like a lighter version of Polo Blue.

I have read so many reviews that say longevity is horrible on LB. That's why I was so surprised when I got 10+ hours out of 2 sprays. I get that about every time I wear it. Maybe that's why I'm one of the few that likes it, because I'm one of the few that it lasts on. Go figure.
