Light Blue Sun Pour Homme

Ok, So ive spent quite some time with this. Three bottles in so far. This is a very nice summer chill fragrance. If your hanging at the beach or spending the day walking downtown this is an ok go to. Longevity and sillage leave ALOT to be desired, but ymmv mine was roughly 3-4 hours at roughly 6 inch sillage. That puts this in the skin scent category. Lets start with top notes, bergamot, there is some its not overpowering and it plays nicely with the grapefruit fizzy top as well. Ginger, im just not getting or its a very clean fizzy fresh ginger maybe a c02 extract or a previously made accord "definitly not a natural or very very trace amounts", but its just barely there. Im also getting another citrus, orange maybe even tangerine? But the star on top is definitly grapefruit. The tops play very well together here. Very bright and fizzy. There is definitly an aldehyde in here, you get brief hints of it/them in there, which is what theyre supposed to do. Theres also a floral ozone or marine ozone, or both, but those are slightly more prominent than the aldehyde(s) so theyre being used a blender and not as a main character. Moving on to the mid notes, this could very well be considered an osmanthus bomb, its definitly an accord utilizing trace amounts of an osmanthus absolute and carious synthetics to fill it out, nice nontheless. Its definitely the main attraction here though, as the grapefruit is the second on the top. The coconut doesnt appear prominently untill much later maybe just before the dry down begins, its not the suntan lotion type of coconut, and might be an accord made mainly of coconut aldehyde amd others like it like gamma decalactone etc etc, but I get a sneaking suspicion its more of a coconut enfleurage than anything else, maybe even a light co2 extract isolate. The cedar is barely there so its probably just used as an enhancer for the oakmoss and osmanthus, and is barely perceptible unless really paying attention, rosemary could be in there but it plays so well with osmanthus and the osmanthus is so overdosed that you might as well write it off and is probably trace to low dose nuance that its marketing bs just to add aroma "notes." The dry down, very disappointing, the oakmoss is the main player here, and since olivier cresp made this, im assuming he used a firmenich synthetic or an accord that utilizes one or more like oakmoss firbest or veramoss from iff, or both in combination, the musk is a generic white musk, that adds to the oakmoss and is there barely as a supporting character galaxolide is most likely but there are others like exaltolide and exaltone. The vetiver, if there is any is probably a shell of real vetiver and is most likely a version of vetiveryl acetate or vetivrol and again low dosed the vanilla like with so many is low dosed and only used as a nuance rather than a primary note like the rest of the base except the oakmoss. So the dry down is extremely soft and barely perceptile and if you didnt stick you hand right up to your nose you would go as far as to say that there is no base here. Thats the issue with this flanker, this seems to be very poorly balanced that the fixatives in the base were an after thought. Id say 10% base 70% mids 20% tops, which makes for a poorly lasting formula, and you can tell. I repeatedly get this bc i love osmanthus and i think it was well done here, this is my "im just laying on the beach and walking the boardwalk, or taking an afternoon stroll in the city with my kid" scent, this is purely a summer scent, there is no crossover here bc the base is so weak, so it needs that humid heat to shine. Would i pay full retail for this when it released? Absolutely not, there are too many others, even in the light blue family that will be longer lasting and project more. If you like grapefruit and osmanthus, then this is an easy choice to pick up from discounters at no more than $40-45, paying any more than that is giving your money away.

Best flanker of the series so far! If you like Light Blue (OG), chances are you will enjoy Sun. I suspect that the majority people will "write off" this flanker from a quick sample hand/wrist spray at local Macy's, etc. If you're on the fence about buying this flanker. I suggest buying a bottle, and wearing it for a week or two to truly experience the beauty of this new flanker. As you can always return the bottle if you ultimately deem that it's a redundant dud. The more you wear this flanker, your nose will begin to notice many of the difference notes, and will enjoy how well each note plays its role to create such a beautiful, yet simple fragrance. The amped-up citrus notes, along with the coconut, and wood/musk/etc notes gives this flanker added dimensions and longevity and performance -- while retaining the masterful formulation of Light Blue (OG). Light Blue Sun can easily be most guy's dumb reach summer cologne for most any situation (gym, night-out, date, professional, beach) et cetera. Projection is strong for the first 30 minutes - 1 hour, but will dial back to an elbow lengths scent. That will performance consistently for 6++ hours on most people's skin. Overall: 8/10

It's been over a month since I first got my bottle, and I've come to the realization that this fragrance does what it needs to amazingly in my opinion. Light blue Sun has such a refreshing opening, its a nice blend of clean lemons and a light airy musky note. Its fruity, but not overly synthetic like many other fresh scents I have. I did not expect it to be so great, I like this one more than the Intense version and the Swimming in Lipari edition. I do have an affinity for fresh fruity scents, and this one is for sure in my top 5. Smells like a breezy day on the beach with a iced fruity drink at your side. Very uplifting to me. Performance is average, lasting about 4-6 hours for me. But, considering it is a very fresh scent, that's really good in my eyes, above-average in that case. Really surprised it is not more popular, but I really recommend you get a sample or something. It's still relatively sold at a good price at the online discounters, I got my bottle from FragX. Longevity: 7.5/10 Projection: 6/10 (Softer) Scent: 8.75/10 (Love it, but it is not amazingly special)

Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Sun Pour Homme is a limited edition released in 2019 and a flanker of the original Light Blue from 2007. One thing that surprised me the most about this release was how it divided the fragrance community and reviewers as well. What shocked me the most was all the undeserved lukewarm feedback, while the Light Blue Intense Pour Homme gets so much praise from almost anyone. Here are my 5 quick takes: - Probably the best Light Blue flanker in the line - An easy-going summer holiday perfume with great performance - Limited edition release created in 2019 by a master perfumer Alberto Morillas - Based on a tired formula that is in a need of a refresher - Signature-worthy perfume While it’s still available and moderately priced, it would go for this edition instead of Light Blue Eau Intense any day of the week. This may change as the available stocks get rarer to find, and prices start to get high. But until then, you can go wrong with this purchase. Check out the full review at scentgrail.com

Light Blue Sun is another redundant and unnecessary flanker. Light Blue Sun smells 99% like Light Blue, with a tad bit more potency, along with harsh citrus/tart notes. That can actually make this flanker unbearable in hot temperatures. Light Blue Sun doesn't smell as refined, smooth, or as high quality as the legendary Light Blue which is disappointing. Here's the truth, if you already own Light Blue or one of the many other flankers. Don't waste your money on Light Blue Sun, unless you just want to each each flanker. And if this is the case, wait until this flanker is sold at discounters. The reality is....to date Light Blue is the best variant of the series and doesn't need to be recreated. Overall: 6/10 Performance/Projection: 8.5/10

This is my favorite Light Blue Pour Homme This is a very pleasant summer scent; a STRONG LOVE for me. The light blue DNA plus coconut and more wood. This is very middle of the road. Nothing polarizing, like ambroxan overload. This goes the musk route instead of ambroxan/IsoE Super and that makes it more than acceptable. This is now one of my most favored citrus summertime bottles. It works for day/night, casual and even formal for warm evenings. I totally agree with reviewers saying This is not a pina colada cocktail scent. The coconut is not for sweetening, but as a musk and wood enhancer. It quotes Ferrari Silver in that way. It is more mature and simply great. My wife calls it clean, and she is correct there too.

A sale for this fragrance appeared so I revisited and emptied my decant with 10-12 sprays out of a 3ml tester with a weak atomizer. It opens with a zesty citrus blend, then transitions to a touch of spice from the ginger. At no time did I pick up on a distinct coconut or suntan lotion vibe; but the coconut, white musk and vanilla are blended together that give the base a soft and light cotton ball finish. Overall I would not call this a powdery fragrance, just a touch of softness in the mid and base notes. I pulled the trigger on a 100ml bottle and I will report back as I wear this scent. [EDIT] 10 sprays does the job. Perfect projection but not too strong. The gem of the series.

This is an immaculate fragrance, perfect for hot summer days, sadly we don't get too many of those days here in the UK. I don't often buy a fragrance based on the opening notes alone, but here I did. The initial blast is fantastic, notes I adore, woody, citrus bright notes which uplift the mood, longevity was very impressive, the best performer from this house for a long time. I'm stunned how long this lasted on me, in comparison to the original, which sadly is like water on my skin. I bought a decant quite late on, but have a sealed bottle to enjoy next summer. I think this would get a bit lost on winter months. Terrific release.

My favorite Light Blue, and I have a lot of them. In fact, one of my favorite fragrances period. This one made me a fan of that traditional Light Blue tart citrus accord, and now I'm addicted to it after hating it for years. It's basically Light Blue Intense, with this amazing coconut accord added that drives hard alongside of the citrus and ginger. Great performance all the way around, and such a feel good / energizing fragrance. I have a backup bottle as its been discontinued, and contemplating getting another while they are still available and cheap.

Laughing at myself because on back to back nights I had a 180 degrees changed of mind on two fragrances. I disliked both the DG Sun and DG Light Blue Eau Intense when I tried it on hot summer days. Then last night on a cool summer night with the cool breeze I tried DG Light Blue Eau Intense and loved it. And tonight I tried this Sun and totally love it too. Both bring me feelings of vacationing on some exotic beach with moonlight and cool breeze. So glad I gave these more chances at different temperatures and environments.

This is such a beautiful gem, I really thought that it smells fantastic but I also thought it was going to be offensive or not so pleasant to other people because it has this delicate sweet citrus smell based on the coconut and vanilla with the grapefruit I must say, but I received a few compliments and I really think it is a fantastic fragrance for sure; having this is such a privilege that finally a great coconut summer fragrance came out and being a long-standing one is a plus; keep up the good work

I have tried almost all from the light blue line and honestly i feel they are all kinda boring and salty. Italian love is an amazing one but i like this one more. This is not as salty as the other ones and this is fresh but still got that lactonic and sunscreen smell. It is not harsh but actually really nice. The citrus does the job with the coconut behind it. I would recommend to try this scent and give it a shot. Rock this as a everyday summerscent i actually love this one!

Imagine driving through the North American prairies as they're being pressed flat under the weight of the giant ice caps 12,000 years ago, and you realize you're actually driving through the water layer under the ice cap, past the rippling field bottoms in the still, cold water. Big sky country that was once big water country, until the Light Blue Sun worked it's magic, incessantly calving turquoise icebergs with it's laser focus to bring us the half-sphere sunset...

This is my favorite from the entire line. Sample it. It doesn't have any sweetness at all, and isn't cloying or annoying like any of the Versace fragrances or any of the Paco Rabanne Invictus (soyboy) flankers. This is a sharp dry, sour citrus, and the drydown is smooth. A mature man can pull this one off, unlike the ones I mentioned previously, and to the reviewer below, this smells nothing like that headache inducing Aqua Amara. stop hyping that crap.

One of the best summer cologne for men! It smells so citrus and sweet that makes your mind already feel like on the vacation! The hint of ginger, osmanthus and rosemary (which are all the scent I love) is also noticeable. The woody scent is only a little but it's necessary because nobody would want a projection monster in summer. I wore it on the beaches or streets (in T-shirt, shorts and sandals) I reckon it's also good for office fragrance.

This IS bottled sunshine and my favourite of the D&G Light Blue line by far. My imagination produces an image of my grandma's neighbour's apricot orchard near the lake on a bright, hot summer day. The flacon is classic D&G with a gold and white cap, fits well in my hand, good pump, and spray disbursement is generous but travels farther and is more narrow than I like. Anytime, anywhere when the weather is hot. Compliments galore, too.

Guys. GO AND GET THIS. This is truly an amazing cologne. I just smelled this at the mall, and thought: 'this is how every girl wants a man to smell'. It's fresh, clean and breezy, yet so manly and sexy. Some may say it's generic or not that unique, but no girl would ever think you'd smell bad with this perfume on. I would definitely drool over a man wearing this. I just might buy this for a future boyfriend...

I just bought the original and had Sun but had not worn much. I sprayed the OG on one hand, Sun on the other. Sun is noticeably sweeter and lacks the pepperiness of the OG. I thought I smelled a distinct coconut in Sun but didn’t remember that to be the case, came here and saw that there is indeed a coconut note listed. I love coconut scents — didn’t realize I should love Sun, too!

Similar to the intense version, but with a hint of sweet aspect. More i wear this fragrance, more i detect the différences. Four days in a row i wear Sun. I received three compliments : two at work by women and one in a family get together (an other woman). The performance is very good. Approriate for the spring and summer or even during a sunny autumn. Overall, i love !

In my opinion, Sun is a highly underrated fragrance, even though it’s one of the best and most intense in the Light Blue line. It surpasses all the others in longevity. It’s strong, intense, bitter, but slightly sweet thanks to the coconut. Very long-lasting (it can linger on clothes for weeks), women love it, and it’s a distinctly sexy scent.
