Hey guys,

Out of these three crowdpleasers, which of these would you pick. Also if you could state your ranking int terms of Longevity and Silage - Both of which are super super important for me.

Just curious, I just want a nice easy one to wear occasionally.

boss bottled for sure but it's not a fresh aquatic like the other two so it also lasts longer. check out givenchy pour homme blue label as well for aquatic type frags. i'm chill with acqua di gio. i've smelled it dozens of times on people and see it on people's dressers but so what. i might buy it if i get a really good deal.

The only one I would really buy is Boss Bottled. It lasts over 10 hours on my skin as well.

to me light blue smells very much like a much lighter version of acqua di gio. im surprised i havent seen that comparison made (or maybe i havent looked). so yeah adg is easily stronger than the d&g as light blue is VERY light. boss bottled is a totally different scent & is stronger than both adg and light blue. (i have adg and bottled and have tried light blue)

Yes, I just realized that Boss Bottled is a different kind of smell. I was also really surprised that there wasn't a Light Blue vs Aqua Di Gio comparison - Go figure! I want a good long lasting Aquatic with fantastic Siliage - ie. The Joop of Aquatics.

acqua di gio is the king of fresh aquatics, light blue smells okay, but has poor longevity and sillage, and wtf!!?? you guys are getting 10+ hours out of ur boss #6? i cant even get like 3 out of mine. i must have a bullshit bottle. well i did buy for a suspiciously good price on ebay, so no suprises there, but ill have to rebuy that one. Sorry for goin off on a tangent there, but acqua di gio is wut u should get if u want to smell fresh and sexy. All the girls i chill with are obsessed with it, even if it is popular.

I haven't smelled Boss Bottled (knowingly), but I'd take Gio over Light Blue without hesitation.

Boss Bottled isn't an aquatic but it would win on sillage as well as on longevity. It smells like apple cinnamon cookies that are fresh out of the oven. It would be a great addition to your wardrobe for fall and winter.
Overall smell I like Acqua di Gìo most.
Light Blue ph is crap.

The Joop! Homme of the aquatic fragrances is definitely L'eau d'Issey Pour Homme.
