Light Blue Escape to Panarea

This is a very light fragrance. To me its one of those perfumes that smells not like perfume but Oh I just smell this good naturally 😆 like maybe it's the body care she's wearing or something but definitely not perfume. If that makes sense idk lol. I get a smooth almost milky vanilla from this, I expected it to be more.. it's like they used the very lightest smallest drop of each note they could. I'd imagine this would be fine for warm weather. I'm happy with it. Also don't get the masculine vibe as someone below said, that had me very worried bc I prefer ultra feminine perfume. This is just a subtle scent & wear time isn't bad at all for being an edt. Hope this helped someone **Update the more I wear It the more I fall in love. It's a soft sweet with a beautiful aquatic undertone that just sings off my skin. It develops so beautifully in the dry down. I wish they'd bring this scent back.

I am in LOVE officially. I have finally found my signature fragrance! Why does it have to be a limited edition...? I can never get ANY of the "fresh" or "light" fragrances to stay on me very long (like 10 minutes or so), and a lot of things just turn... "old-lady" on me, for lack of a better description. So needless to say, when I put this on and the freshness stayed for a few hours I was floored. After a few hours it dried down to the perfect amount of tonka beany-vanilla. Usually by that time, all i'm left with is grandma and baby powder. Let me tell you, this stayed on and wore beeeaautifully!! The scent is just the right amount of sexy and fresh and I am head over heels. They hit the nail on the head with this one... I highly recommend getting your hands on it before it gets discontinued!

My absolute favorite flanker of Light Blue! This is syrupy, thick, and gourmand while still being fresh with the original DNA. It opens with the bergamot and orange blossom, a bright zingy citrus. The ambergris, white musk, and jasmine follow soon after giving it a beautiful warmth and seductiveness. The tonka bean and pear are the most prominent on my skin! The dry down is a heavy sweet vanilla with a slightly spicy pear. It last a lot longer than the other Light Blues because of that heavy base probably about 6 hrs but I still top up after 4 hrs because the phases this fragrance goes through is mesmerizing! I’ve bought a back up bottle of this because it’s GOOD GOOD!

This was a recent blind buy after hearing a YouTube fragrance reviewer talk about it. I was also in love with the photograph on the box! I REALLY like this. I can ever so faintly smell the original Light Blue DNA, but I think that is only because I know that this is a flanker. On my skin this is a warm, musky skin scent, with top notes of fruit/citrus. This smells like sweet, warm skin that has been in the sun. However, don't let the term "sweet" fool you- this is not a gourmand, or overly sweet. This is great for Spring and Summer! This lasts about 6 hours on me, and has moderate projection. I'm definitely glad that I added this to my collection!

I am having the toughest time figuring this scent out.... But nonetheless it is gorgeous.... At first spray, you immediately think, same old D&G Light Blue......Yawn..... But that soon disappears and this beautiful powdery, citrus, basking in the sun scent just envelopes your skin like the tropics. For so few notes, it certainly seems complex... It may be suitable for men as well given that slightly edgy side... This is certainly one of those scents that may develop differently on each person, but it is certainly worth testing; and if it works for you, you'll love it!!!

I really love this scent! It is sweet and light and smells like pears to me. I have gotten many compliments in the office at work with this one which tells me that it does have a little projection within the first few hours of about 4-6 sprays. I will say that it is true that this one doesn't last as long as I would like for it to but that's something that goes along with light fruity citrus scents. This one usually lasts between 2-3 hours on my skin. O! and now that I think about it the dry down almost smells like Dior addict but a lighter version.

Lovely soft fragrance that shares so many notes (to me) with Guerlain's Un Air de Samsara, especially the sparkly mint/citrus opening and the divine Play-Doh-y tonka bean on the bottom. I am interested to try all the versions of LB, and there are indeed a few to hunt down. I don't wanna pay full price though since they are not long lasting, while the original is. I guess this is part of the summer thing, so very light and gone so fast, like summer in my part of the world. Portofino and Salina, you are next!

for me, this one smells VERY different from the original and for all the good reasons. this is one of my all-time favorites, and i wish there was an alternative to this one. it smells nothing like i've had. such a unique scent in that matter. i'd say it is very versatile and complex for a summer scent, but not overwhelming and can be worn in both spring and summer. the warmth in this one makes it special for such a 'fresh' scent, i believe. wish i could get this one, or find a similar one.

I wish they would make this lovely fragrance a permanent flanker, and not just a limited edition. I love this just as much as the original, though they are different. This one really lives up to the name - it is just like the feeling of being on a greek island!! Sunny and warm, but fresh. Like the sandy beach, like flowers in the sun, like sitting at a restaurant or a cafe looking at people passing by. I have only a little left in my small bottle, but I hope I can find a new one!

I really love this fragrance. It smells so nice soft and sweet. The smells of lime rock this fragrance. Its limited edition in 2014 and a bit hard to find the big bottle right now. I have few piece left in miniature size and im selling it. If anyone want to have a try u may contact me. Btw im from Malaysia and a perfume seller too. Most of my customers also love this fragrance. Greetings from Malaysia! :)

I just bought this today and I love this! It's not really like the Dreaming in Portofino version or even the original Light Blue so much. It does have some resemblances to the original Light Blue, but this is totally different. I am happy that I had a chance to test it first at Macy's and this will be a great fragrance for summer!

What a beautiful fragrance ... fresh, sweet and refreshing. Very unique scent, not overpowering at all...perfect for summer days. Holiday fragrance must have. Thank you Dolce and Gabbana for this wonderful fragrance.

I love this little treasure. It's warm, fresh, juicy, lightly sweet and perfect. When people go in for a hug I get, "Omg, you smell so good! What is that?" It's the perfect summer scent...and it lasts.

Love this and I don't know anybody who does not. Sweeter and a little longer lasting than the original LB. I like it in warm spring and moderate summer heat. Fantastic!

I love this for the summer, it's a shame it's discontinued. I'm still looking for something that I love that much when there's hot weather!

very happy, uplifting and fresh scent! I still wear this on rare occasions, but used it while I traveled the balkans one summer.

I'm crazy to forget the musky Portofino, which smells of shaving foam. Greetings from the Brasil! :)

yes right its like ice cream sweet and musky the pear its dominate yammmy i love this fragrance

I'm not a fan of the original D&G Light Blue, but tried this one and really like it! It's very soft and feminine and evokes images of relaxing summer holidays in the Med (just like the picture on the box). If you're looking for a summer holiday scent that doesn't have a suntan oil vibe, I'd highly recommend you try this. I sprayed one spritz on each wrist and keep pressing my nose to my wrist, imagining a lazy holiday in the sunshine with the smell of beautiful flowers wafting in the gentle breeze. It's such a pleasant and delicate scent, but I don't think it has much projection, more of a skin-scent, on me at least. Personally, I'm not sure I'd get much use out of this perfume, as I don't think I'd feel like wearing it once the summer was over (and summer doesn't last very long where I live). However, if I happened to be going on holiday and came across this at Duty Free on the way there, I might find it hard to resist...

Let me start out by saying that now, I cannot stand Light Blue. BUT, I was intrigued to try Escape to Panarea and I am so glad I did! It's such an interesting perfume and does not smell like anything I've ever tried before, and I can't get enough of it! Escape has a bright, fruity (definitely the orange blossom), almost zesty opening, an odd middle that I cannot identify (forgive me, I'm not a perfume connoisseur, merely an ardent perfume addict!), and a creamy dry-down with white florals and a rich warmth. I love the jasmine and tonka bean paired with orange blossom and pear/ambergis! So unique and beautiful, very unexpected.
