Light Blue Pour Homme Eau de Toilette

One of the most straightforward, pleasant, summery scents on the market. While light blue wasn't one of my first colognes, I came back around to it after sampling a plethora of "niche" scents - and it made me appreciate it far more. Despite being so simple, it has the perfect amount of this creamy citrus garden-esque glaze that keeps me sniffing myself throughout the day. I am a big non fan of shower gel fragrances (I really disliked Percival), yet light blue teeters away from that profile just enough somehow. I assume its the patchouli, but Light Blue smells like a sweet summer breeze more than it does a synthetic shower product. It's like a backyard garden on the coast. I can't speak for the past formula's since I only ever had samples, but they smell very similar as far as my nose is concerned. The longevity and sillage is top 4 in my collection, and second best from my freshies apart from my MFK.

It reminds me of a clean, crisp white linen shirt by the sea along the Great Ocean Road. The scent is incredibly clean and refreshing. I used D&G Light Blue Living Stromboli about 10 years ago, this has a similar vibe, but feels more mature and refined. It’s a very simple fragrance, and my wife absolutely loves it. On my skin, it lasts around 6 hours, and on clothes it can go up to 8 hours, sometimes even 12 hours if the weather cooperates (I’m from Malaysia, so it’s usually hot and humid here). The performance can be a bit unpredictable, but somehow it just works. Wearing it makes me feel clean, calm, and confident. I’m pretty sure you won’t offend anyone even if you overspray, so don’t be shy, spray generously to help it last longer. I really enjoy this salty marine DNA, so I’ll definitely keep repurchasing it or exploring more from the ADG lineup.

I can't compare it to the OG (I've only ever sampled this in store once of twice over the years) but what I can say is I don't remember enjoying the OG as much as this, but this could be a placebo effect. Surprisingly long lasting (sprayed it before bed and could smell it the next morning.) Not sure about projection yet but think it might sit very close to the skin. If my memory is correct I'd say this is more green and aromatic, and less aquatic than the original. It isn't too far off the Eau Intense but I unfortunately got the egg smell from that one. This has none of that. Very easy to like and I got 200ml for £55 which was a no brainer. Easy dumb reach for the summer and subtle enough for the office etc. I'd need to sample the OG again side by side to be sure.

My first impression upon trying this was "this is like acqua di gio, but better" imagine my shock when I see the same perfumer created both. Smells like fancy hotel lobby lemon water. Throw in some rosemary and patchouli and what more do you really need? This is a perfect daily scent for warm weather, its pretty inoffensive, really fresh, masculine and sexy yet reserved enough for daily office/school use. And women absolutely LOVE it which kind of surprises me, because I love it as well but women seem to have a crazy reaction to this scent. It doesn't last very long and sits fairly close to the skin - I picked up a 50ml for an absolute steal and I have a feeling it won't survive the summer.

Just bought this for like 59.99$ a local TJ Maxx. Honestly, the scent is gorgeous. It is already 80° F in Alabama, I am about to clear this bottle before Summer even hits. This baby is sooo easy to wear. I can shower in this stuff and not be bothered at all. It doesn't smell like the ocean, but it smells like the sea breeze. It smells like beach air. So refreshing. This is an Alberto Morillas composition, one of the Kings of Fresh fragrances. He is responsible for some of the most iconic freshies of Modern perfumery- Versace Pour Homme, Dylan Blue, D&G light blue, Aqua Di Gio, Ck One, etc., I think this is a must have considering it can be found discounted at Rack Room stores.

I do remember being infatuated with this scent many years ago but never owned a bottle; it was just a shopping mall buddy that I'd visit and say hi to every time I went. Finally, pulled the trigger on a new bottle. First, love the new bottle. Much more clean and streamlined. Was never a fan of the OG bottle cap. I was glad when the cap changed with the Forever/Italian Love and this one is equally great. Scent wise, it is such an easy wear. Fresh, zesty opening, smooth dry down with slight sweetness. Super non offensive. It really is a grab-N-go type of scent that can work year round, shining best in spring and summer. Very comfortable scent. Highly recommended.

Ok, D&G Light Blue 2025 reformulation... I love it. I wonder if a lot of reviews are based off the original formulation, based on the performance aspect. Comparatively, this version out performs the original by about 20%. It’s not a beast, but it does last longer. The deal with light blue is: it’s not what you catch smelling off your skin, the true magic is the subtle sillage. Whatever you’ve become used to smelling is not what a random passer-by catches off of you. Until you smell it off someone else, and you’re caught off-guard like “wtf is that, I need to know” and you find out THAT is what light blue smells like... you just don’t know.

This has become my favorite reach for a summer office fragrance, it’s inoffensive and had compliments for coworkers when they passed by me. To me it’s more of a green fragrance I do get the rosemary notes which I really like. Very linear profile that lasts 2-3h, I do carry a decant of it to reapply as needed. I have not had the chance to smell the original but I did try Light Blue Intense. I could not tell them appart as far as the scent profile. Since it’s mass produced, you can easily find it at discounters for way less than suggested retail.

A scorching summer day. You step out into the garden of your Italian seaside stone house. You pick a ripe lemon, then run your hand through a rosemary bush. As you walk towards the town along the coast, shaded by trees, a breeze blows, carrying salt in the air... A fresh opening, an aromatic, then salty, marine heart, blending into a soft woody drydown. Elegant, modern, clean, alluring, crowd-pleasing, easy-to-wear, and blind-buy safe. A fragrance that every man should have in his summer rotation. Do not mistake a classic for generic. 8.5/10

8 Sprays at Septoria. Feels a little more smoothed out on the opening than the original. I also noticed more of a sparkling feel in the first hour vs the OG. . Dry down seems similar. Not enough difference to warrant a purchase for me at retail. But if I see this for $45 in 1-2 years on the grey market, I'll defiantly pick it up. I like when the new vs old version comes out in different sizes. I'll wait until I see Light Blue in a 100mm bottle. 8.5/10 but redundant to owners of the OG.

The bottle looks so cute like a pebble i loved it, the scent is a salty fresh one which i loved too, imagine you are near a sea and theres wind breezing from the rosemary flowers and you just put them all into a bottle with some lemon and you got it. Safe choice imo, a salty fragrance done right. Longevity 6/10 good for a summer fragrance lasts a solid 4hrs on my skin Pricepoint is good Scent is also good 8/10 Overall 8/10 very good perfume i just wished it had more complexity to it

I haven't smelled the original (although maybe in passing), so this is just based on the new reformulation, It reminds me of a more playful and slightly fruiter version of versace pour homme. Very pleasant and inoffensive; something to enjoy in spring/summer. Versatile (warmer months) and casual, you will smell clean and approachable. I give it a 4.25.

Another italian hit, smells like a small harbor town, close to a lemon plantation with the salty breeze hitting your nose and the dried rosemary hanging on windows. Is it somewhat familiar, yeah a lot - but dawg, everyone should own a bottle of this to grab once in a while. Crowd pleaser, easy compliments, smell like clean soapy italian summer.

I don't know why this fragrance dosn't have listed marine notes. I smell a very salty marine scent and I love it. For me it evokes a tropical or mediterranean beach feel. I find it similar to acqua di gio edt but specially to Bvlgari Aqva pour hommme, but without the seaweed note. It's also very musky and has great performance.

I really love this scent, I've had it roughly for a week and I just get a smile every time I wear this scent and I think that's a pretty clear sign haha. But I think the lemon really keeps it fresh and it tails off with such a clean and fresh nonchalant feel. Reminds me of walks along the boardwalk looking at the ocean.

The top notes of this perfume are citrus, very refreshing, with an overall slightly formal scent. The base notes have a touch of woody notes, making the overall impression excellent. However, considering it's a light and refreshing perfume, its longevity is only average for the market, which is debatable.5-7hrs

i always felt like the eau intense was better anyways, and i feel like this captures what that one did well. I think this is an upgrade and I’m glad dolce and gabbana are taking the production back into their own hands (a third party has been making light blue for a long time now)

Does anybody else get the similarities to the ysl y line (specifically the edp version) or is it just me?? I smelled it today and it smells amazing, i totally reccomend it to anyone wanting a fresh aquatic fragrance this summer or just wants to smell clean.

The best of the bests summer fragrances. Its a shame it’s getting discontinued. Why would someone do that with such a classic piece. Smells so good, and last quite a while for a freshie, projection is good as well and very gentlemanly not loud.

Such a pleasant smell! Bought it yesterday, wore it today (still pretty cold) and received two compliments. One of them was a literal eyes roll (in a good way) from a friend (f) questioning what the name of the fragrance was.
