Light Blue Love in Capri

Wow. This is gorgeous! Something a bit cool and narcotic about the sweetness of this one though it’s never obnoxious. A male friend said “you smell like a woman” when I hugged him wearing this. I didn’t ask what I usually smell like but I KNOW I smell delicious in this. It’s got a floral lilt and softness that the OG LB doesn’t have but it keeps the lemony cedar Light Blue thing that’s just so charming! Decent lasting power... love the cedar dry down. The opening is to die for though... first 15 minutes are from heaven. The honeysuckle shines. I got a used bottle to try it since the original burned my nostrils when I wore it (love it on others!) I feel this is the epitome of a perfect “flanker”- still smells similar to the original species but with a unique twist. Now I’m really hoping these haven’t gone away and I can still get good bottles in the future.

Very nice and light summer fragrance. The original Light Blue is easily detected in this one. It is just a little more white floral, but in a nice way. There's some sweetness to it. Mostly it's citrusy, but not so bitter as original. It has a mild touch. I think it's the best fragrance from the Light Blue line so far. I will test is again, to find out if I would like to buy it, it's definitely worth a try! Edit: I tried it on my skin to find out more about it. It is pure perfection! So fresh, sweet and summery! I think this is a must have! Reminds me of Montale's Soleil de Capri.

Light Blue Love in Capri by Dolce & Gabbana I would agree smells very similar to the original, but Love in Capri has a more prominent floral note from the honeysuckle which I really like because it is not as lemony or tart in the opening as the original. I have one colleague in particular who always seem to have some comment to make about my daily fragrances actually compliment me on this one and the kids that I work with would hug me and say I smelled good – so it is definitely a people pleaser/compliment getter and great to wear in the workplace without offending anyone.

It certainly remains a perfume suitable for summer as it is fresh, I can feel the mandarin, less the lemon, the almond that gives the right sweetness, but the note that I definitely feel the most is the jasmine. This is a variation to the classic Light Blue, similar in some ways but much more delicate, floral, more refined I would say .. maybe I prefer it to the original! Although the version I preferred remains the Light Blue Dreaming in Portofino, inimitable!

One of the best flankers in the range, it takes away that pungent citric-lactic final note from the OG intense version. I also enjoy Panarea version and Forever. All of them easy to wear, with the expected low longevity of a EDT.
