Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue is one of the best-known summer fragrances ever made: citrus, sea air and the feeling of a Mediterranean holiday. Light Blue Intense pour Homme keeps that idea and gives it more strength and staying power — which matters in a climate where fresh fragrances usually vanish by lunchtime.
The notes
- Opens: grapefruit, mandarin orange
- Heart: sea water, juniper
- Dries down: musk, amberwood
How it wears
Bright grapefruit and mandarin first, then a salty sea-water accord sharpened by juniper, drying down to clean musk and amberwood. It smells of sun, salt and clean skin. The Intense lasts noticeably longer than the original Light Blue, and the amberwood base gives it a little more body in the evening.
It is at its best from May to October, at the beach, at the office, anywhere hot.
Light Blue or Light Blue Intense?
The original is lighter and more fleeting. The Intense is the one to choose for Egypt: the same freshness with more hours on skin.
