OK, I won’t say that I hate Light Blue Intense. It’s decent value for money for a perfume that performs well and smells pleasant enough. So, what will you have to pay for the privilege of owning a bottle? The good news is that Light Blue Intense is also not a super expensive fragrance, although it is a little more than Light Blue at around $80 for 1.6 fl.oz. The versatility makes it ideal for wearing to work and for things like running errands.Yyou could almost get away with wearing it for special occasions as it has that extra bit of pzazz that the original is lacking for evening use. Just like Light Blue, Light Blue Intense has a moderate projection. Some say it smells a bit like cleaning spray but even if that is what your nose detects, well, that isn’t unpleasant. It’s that kind of fresh, enticing fragrance.Īs a woman, you may feel that you can’t pull this off because it is so masculine but keep reminding yourself that it is designed for us girls! Plus, if you want something totally inoffensive then Light Blue Intense is perfect.
Picturing a guy wearing this, I could easily see him in a navy-tailored suit and crisp white shirt. Light Blue Intense has a very uplifting scent and it reminds me of being in an expensive restaurant at lunchtime, looking out over a harbor. While I is advertised as a woman’s scent, it does have a real manly vibe. Many have described Light Blue Intense as being very masculine and I am inclined to agree. Light Blue Intense is a much richer fragrance that many would say is more well balanced so you don’t get that blast of citrus that you do with the 2001 fragrance. You can see how this is a very similar fragrance but the smell is something quite different. If you were hoping for a rehash of Light Blue then you’ll be sorely disappointed. However, many are missing and we have the addition of marigold and amberwood. Light Blue Intense features some of the same fragrance notes as the original including lemon and apple as well as jasmine and musk. At least, that was the idea, although my own opinion differs slightly.īut for now, I’ll try to remain impartial as I get you better acquainted with this scent.
#D AND G LIGHT BLUE FOREVER UPGRADE#
Launched in 2017 and created by the same perfumer, Light Blue Intense is something of an upgrade on the OG. It’s not often that perfume houses leave it so long to make a flanker but in this case, we had to wait a whopping 16 years to get our hands on the newer version of Light Blue known as Light Blue Intense. Light Blue is the perfect summer daytime spritz, especially if you’re going on vacation. That said, I’m not going to suggest it if you want a strong, outgoing evening fragrance as this just isn’t it.
However, if you’re in love with the scent like I am then this will easily become one of your go-tos. And that’s not because it’s overly intense but the combination of notes can be somewhat nauseating to certain noses. Objectively speaking, it’s probably not for everyone as I have heard some people talk about how it is a little headache inducing.
It played a significant role in my fragrance journey back in my younger days and I just can’t let it go. For that price, it also makes a great handbag spray. You can pick up a 1.6 fl.oz bottle for just shy of $55. Some designer fragrances can easily break the bank but D&G’s Light Blue is great if you’re on a budget. However, I wouldn’t say it was intense enough to be worn in colder weather neither does it have the character of a winter perfume as there’s simply not enough warmth.
#D AND G LIGHT BLUE FOREVER SKIN#
It sits beautifully on the skin during the daytime and has a wonderful sunny charm. If you’re looking for a summer fragrance then Light Blue is right up there with the very best. There’s something luxurious about it without being pretentious so it feels accessible to anyone. The smell kind of reminds me of sitting on a breezy beachside sipping cocktails or browsing through boutiques in a quaint Italian town. It’ll certainly be noticed without taking over and that’s what a lot of people look for in a fragrance. Moreover, Light Blue isn’t an offensive perfume and boasts a moderate projection that’s ideal for everyday wear. Despite being a fresh citrusy perfume, of which there are many, it manages to stand its ground and has become somewhat unmistakable. One of the things that really made Light Blue a success, in my opinion, is how easy it is to wear. There are bright hits of lemon and green apple at the head and these linger throughout, even as the woody cedar and sweet notes of amber and musk come through. While there are hints of jasmine, white rose, bellflower, and even bamboo, I can tell you that Light Blue is far more fruity and zesty than that description would have you believe. One of which I was at the time!įloral fruity is the best way to describe the scent.
This scent I vividly remember smelling EVERYWHERE as it became a real hit with young women. Oliver Cresp was responsible for creating the now iconic fragrance, Light Blue, back in 2001.
