Light Blue Swimming in Lipari

This is a unique scent to say the least, Dolce & Gabanna really did not play a safe hand here, and I think it worked well for them, but you need an open mind going into this fragrance. The opening smacks you with ambergris and sea salt. The sea salt is top note while the ambergris is in the bottom, but its AMBERGRIS ! if you do not know what it is ....look it up this will clear a lot up. So you are struck by a very oceanic scent in the truest sense like being in the middle of a salty sea with the seagulls too... I mean ultra authentic. I think that is what throws some people off is how honest of a scent this is, truly aquatic, pretty as nature is intended not by design. The woody, citrus notes dance around as well, but are so low in the blend I dare say this is a dual layered fragrance...Salt and whale excretion...sounds gross, but it works ! and I promise you will get compliments.

9/10 from me! This is definitely a hidden gem. In comparison to the original light blue it has less of the over the top pepper notes and in comparison to the eau intense less of this somewhat annoying orange peel note. It just is the light blue DNA in its perfection. It has a clean bright and refreshing grapefruit opening mixed with an amped up saltiness in comparison to the other light blues. Over time the grapefruit fades slowely and the scent evolves into a beautiful white musk. Where I have to agree is that the projection and sillage is better in the eau intense version but not bad nevertheless. It get about 6-7 hours of longevity. Guys, try it out as long as its still available. Its already beginning to sell out as not many shops still have it on sale.

One of the best beach day scents you could possibly have. The beach day I'm talking about isn't some exotic, elegant, chill, snobbish kinda day. It's an old-school beach day with friends, towels spread out on the sand under the shade of a tree, dried sea salt on the shore, small plants sprouting randomly from the sand, and, if you're lucky, a slightly warm bottle of beer with a slice of lemon stuck in it, bought from a nearby kiosk. Although not explicitly stated in the notes, it's quite an aquatic scent, with sea salt being the obvious main player. The citrus notes also make their presence felt without being overpowering. It's also true that there's a slight green woodiness to it. It's a shame it's discontinued.

First of all sorry for my poor English! I am Italian guy.. well I bought it today after some tests in the shop and I liked it very much. I am in love with sea scents and this is a strong one... it smells like freedom. It's ipnotic and electrique. I'm used to wear Armani White and Acqua di Gio, this D&G sounds like a mysterious scent and I am happy of my new purchase. Every time I wear this perfume It's like to have a bath inside my mediterranean sea...such a crisp and clear scent! Salt and grapefruit are indeed the top notes! I've bought another 125ml bottle cause it's no more produced. One of the best aquatic scents I smelled so far... 9/10

Absolutely love this fragrance. Very masculine, very mass appealing, very fresh, and very aquatic. If you’re not a fan of summery, salty marine scents you likely won’t enjoy this one. I personally love that style and this one kills it. It’s very fresh and very clean with an great opening (albeit a bit harsh at first) but the dry down is fantastic. The only thing I dislike about it is the performance. The performance is bad. Really bad. At least on my skin, I usually can only squeeze off a few hours max which sucks because I love the scent so much. Overall it’s a great buy I highly recommend, and who knows, maybe it will last longer on you.

Swimming in Lipari is my favorite Light Blue version so far. I tried to give Eau Intense a good chance but it's just too strong and overwhelming for me and I like strong scents. Lipari is pretty close scent-wise for me but it's much easier for me to wear and has outstanding longevity for me. It's been too long since I've tried original Light Blue but this seems like a slight tweaking on that one rather than a drastic change. This is said to be a saltier take on the original but I'm still trying to wrap my head/nose around what salt is supposed to smell like. Thumbs up.

This is one of the first fragrances I fell in love with, even with 10 or 12 years of collecting, because it is absolutely beautiful and it performs like an absolute beast. It’s fresh, has a perfect blend of salt and aquatic notes as well as woody ones. I love it and I can usually still smell this on my skin the next day. As far as clothes, days... I am so glad I bought backups because this is Light Blue’s best ever flanker in my opinion. No wonder it was a limited edition with that performance. Basically it’s a stroll along a beach in the Med. 10/10 all round.

I bought this fragrance blindly as it was on 50% discount at an Airport. I started wearing this fragrance in office in Summers (India). I received amazing compliments. Till date i have received compliments every time i wore it. Trust me, I got 10 times more compliments for this as against Dior Sauvage or Blu de Chanel. this is an amazing Aquatic sea salt fragrance that will surely get you compliments if you are in a tropical region. GO FOR IT !!

Light Blue Swimming in Lipari is very salty but it makes this perfume agreable and original. After some hours, it becomes slightly sweet. This perfume really reproduces the feeling of being at a beach. I'm sorry that it has moderate to poor projection. Among the salty-sweet fragrances, Nautica Voyage or Aqva Marine are preferable because they are stronger.

After wearing this fragrance I can tell u this it smells like 70% invictus aqua 2016 30% light blue intense,i wasn't expecting it to smell as good as it does,this would be a excellent replacement if it wasn't discontinued as well,but for the price its at now its a steal,good longevity with a beautiful aquatic aroma,I would rate this a 9 out of 10

Bitch, he's good. It is more unique than the intensity or foreVer version.. That's why it was discontinued. The people in the lower ranks are not ready for such a unique sound.. I'm sorry for this loss. I was interested in the same type of aromas in the style of aqua di Joe. some of them smell like shaving foam. This one was better.

A great version for the summer Excellent 7 hours longevity mixture of fresh and sweet together Very balanced Reminds me soft version of black XS good Scent

Better and more interesting than the original Light Blue. This one smells great and easy to wear, also garners compliments. Great scent for summer!

This smells good on the back of my hand. Got compliments on this today, it is a killer summer scent, the best of the lot.

Really great release from d&g the smell is one of the closest to the ocean breeze though longevity is moderate

This review keeps us in the sun drenched Mediterranean catalog of Dolce & Gabbana to explore another limited edition summer flanker: Light Blue Pour Homme Swimming in Lipari. Released in 2015 as a follow up to previous summer editions, this fragrance draws inspiration from the largest of the Aeolian Islands, aiming to evoke the imagery of crisp, clear waters and Mediterranean volcanic stone. Much like Discover Vulcano, this is a long discontinued and hard to find flanker that requires some patience to track down today. Because Discover Vulcano turned out to be a bit of a letdown for me due to its overly aggressive citrus sharpness, I am diving into this bottle hoping that Swimming in Lipari can offer a much needed house redemption. Where our previous review focused on a dry, structured woody and aromatic layout, Swimming in Lipari focuses heavily on a refreshing marine landscape. Based on the main accords, this composition is heavily driven by Citrus, Aromatic, and Marine elements, hinting at an open, breezy, and distinctly oceanic experience, sharpened by Fresh Spicy nuances and grounded by a clean Musky foundation. Let us see if this island inspired creation can bring a genuinely unique aquatic identity to the classic collection and secure its redemption, or if it blends seamlessly into the standard blue summer crowd. Opening: The opening is citrusy, salty, and aquatic. The primary notes I get are grapefruit, sea salt, ambergris, and mandarin orange, with the grapefruit and sea salt leading the composition. True to the standard Light Blue nature, the fragrance starts off with a burst of citrus from the grapefruit. It is juicy and bright without crossing over into the bitter or hyper photo realistic territory found in Light Blue Forever. The sea salt follows closely behind, imparting a mineralic saltiness accompanied by a general oceanic vibe. Working together with the sea salt is the ambergris, layering in some warm, musky, skin like tones, but with a distinctly aquatic undertone to help amp up the watery vibe. Lastly, the mandarin orange adds a bit more citrus on the backend, but with some inherent sweetness to help it stand out from the grapefruit. The result is a super fresh and aquatic opening that is very typically Light Blue, heavily reminiscent of Light Blue Eau Intense but with the saltiness turned up. Dry Down: The dry down remains citrusy, salty, and aquatic, maintaining a very strong consistency with the initial spray. The primary notes I get are still grapefruit, sea salt, ambergris, and mandarin orange, with the grapefruit and sea salt still leading the composition. The dry down is very similar to the opening, making this a fairly linear fragrance that delivers a reliable profile throughout its wear. The only discernible difference I could find is that the saltiness from the sea salt becomes perhaps a bit sharper and more pronounced as the hours pass. Other than that minor shift, it is still a dry down centered entirely around citrus, salt, and the ocean. The result is a dependable scent profile where the refreshing coastal atmosphere remains fully intact without any jarring transitions. Performance: The initial projection within the first hour is strong, reaching out about six feet and making a clear statement in warm weather. The sillage matches that energy perfectly, leaving behind an easily noticeable scent trail that flows through the air. After about three to four hours, the projection draws in to about three to four feet. Similarly, the scent trail becomes noticeably lighter during this period, but it remains fully perceptible to those around you. At the seven hour mark, the projection sits firmly within arms length, and the scent trail becomes only faintly noticeable. The fragrance ultimately becomes a skin scent around the same time, marking a respectable seven hour lifespan that holds up well for a fresh citrus profile. When to Wear: Staying true to the overarching nature of the Light Blue line, Swimming in Lipari is a quintessential spring and summer fragrance that is best suited for daytime wear. Its highly bright and fresh profile makes it a fantastic pick for casual scenarios, outdoor gatherings, beach days, or simply relaxing on hot weekend afternoons. Typically speaking, many of the Light Blue flankers can also pull double duty as office fragrances due to their clean nature. However, Swimming in Lipari feels just a bit too overtly aquatic and mineralic to match a professional office vibe suitably, as the heavy salt note leans much more toward a rugged vacation aesthetic than a corporate boardroom. It would not work well for formal wear or special evening occasions for that exact same reason, as it lacks the warmth or spice required for an intimate night setting. This is firmly a high heat utilitarian fragrance, intended specifically for casual wear during sun drenched weather when you want to feel immediately refreshed. Blind Buy: If you are already a fan of the deep, oceanic vibes found in Light Blue Eau Intense, Swimming in Lipari will likely feel very familiar and welcoming to you, making it a fairly easy blind buy on a purely olfactory level. It delivers exactly what enthusiasts of the aquatic genre look for without throwing any avant garde or polarizing curveballs into the mix. However, given its long discontinued status and the premium pricing it now commands on the secondary market because of that scarcity, pulling the trigger sight unseen carries a much higher financial risk than a standard designer purchase. If you can manage to track down a decant or a partial bottle from a trusted collector, sampling first remains the most prudent choice. It is wise to verify that you absolutely love the amped up, mineralic salt note before investing significant time, effort, and money into hunting down a physical full bottle. Final Verdict: In a lot of ways, Swimming in Lipari feels like it was the direct conceptual precursor to Light Blue Eau Intense. They both take that familiar, casual Light Blue DNA and remix it into something much more ocean centric and deep. If I had to take a guess, I would say Swimming in Lipari was most likely discontinued because of how prominent and uncompromising that mineralic salt note is, and was essentially revived later in Eau Intense with the saltiness turned down just enough to be a bit more universally mass appealing. As a fan of Eau Intense, I think Swimming in Lipari is a great fragrance in its own right that really drives home the coastal story behind its island name. However, as an owner of Eau Intense, I do not really find enough of a structural difference between the two to justify spending excessive time and money tracking down a rare bottle of Swimming in Lipari. It would just feel a bit redundant on my shelf. That being said, it was an enjoyable wear, and if I happen to casually cross paths with an reasonably priced bottle of it in the future I will definitely pick it up.

D&G Light Blue Swimming in Lipari Pour Homme EDT opens with a strong projection of citrus, salty and musky notes. The opening is fresh, oceanic, crisp, fresh, intense, and pleasant. The grapefruit is the most noticeable citrus note, bitter, and sharp although the mandarin is also noticeable with a lightly sweet citrus touch; the sea salt is the second and also prominent note, it adds a noticeable seawater touch, evocative of beaches and the ocean. The musk and ambergris are base notes, but they come up as soon as the fragrance is applied, the ambergris is the third most noticeable note, earthy, slightly mineral, mossy, musky but not animalic or offensive. The rosemary and woody notes are soft support notes, they add a spicy and woody touch but not as intense as the featured notes. As the fragrance has a couple of opening to dry-down chances, the citrus notes are intense during the opening, but the lose some intensity towards the dry-down leaving the sea salt and ambergris to take the lead; also, the initial strong projection drops to moderate. Once D&G Light Blue Swimming in Lipari Pour Homme EDT has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a moderate projection, marine/salty, and ambergris fragrance with citrus, lightly spicy and woody accords.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Swimming in Lipari is a Light Blue Pour Homme meets Invictus Aqua to my nose. Now it isn't as clean as Invictus Aqua, but the sea salt and ambergris give me an Invictus Aqua like vibe. That and this, Light Blue Pour Homme and Invictus Aqua's main citrus is grapefruit. As I mentioned before, Light Blue Swimming in Lipari's three main notes are grapefruit, sea salt and ambergris. The mandarin orange in the middle is somewhat noticable but not as much as the top three notes. The rosemary offers some added spice too. The woody note is there and the musk is just there enough. Light Blue Swimming in Lipari's performance is not Invictus Aqua and more along the lines of Antonio Banderas Blue Seduction. Swimming in Lipari is not that strong but will project for about an hour to an hour and a half. From there it lingers for about four hours for about five/five and a half hours tops before it is virtually non existent. Unlike Living Stromboli, Swimming in Lipari is strickly spring and summer. The spice isn't strong enough to use in warmer early fall weather. It is a day scent again due to the lack of spice. Use wise is casual and work. Overall Light Blue Swimming in Lipari is nice but can be a bit of a skip. I love aquatics and this is different enough, but if you own Light Blue unless you love the entire line, this can be redundant. I rate Swimming in Lipari a 7 out of 10.

Bought this probably because I got bought into the romance of "Swimming in Lipari", and its gorgeous bottle and font. It does evoke that imagery, only to have it killed by its poor projection and average longevity. If you have issues with projection, overspraying helps a little with this one. It gave me headaches initially, possibly due to the aquatic notes. But I've gotten used to it. Definitely much more aquatic and marine-based. It's beautiful and mediocre at the same time, because the scent is so linear and generic. Dries down to a musky, floral (?) note. Should you get it? Only if you're into the beautiful aquatic/marine vibes it evokes. But do bear in mind the quiet/REALLY subtle existence 5 minutes after spraying it on. You can always overspray. I'm keeping this — mainly to just spray as and when I like, and maybe for the beautiful bottle. I might refill Eau Intense in it once this bottle is done. Update: The more I sniff the more I love this scent. Longevity + Projection is still terrible. But it actually brought me to the sea, and I feel like I'm swimming in it. If there's any aquatic that's done tastefully, it's gotta be this. It's more natural smelling than the synthetic mess that is Eau Intense. But, it's just a linear aquatic. That's all!

I am a fan of the first limited edition Light Blue by the name of Living Stromboli, so when I saw this bottle at Sephora I decided to try it out on the paper strip.. Swimming in Lipari opens up very fresh and aquatic.. I guess the aquatic vibe comes together with the combination of citruses and salt.. At first sniff I was reminded of Living Stromboli but soon that vibe started to change as ambergris made itself known.. The ambergris emerges rather fast and takes over this scent.. Swimming In Lipari is a lot more of a fresh aquatic scent but I cant help but to find similarities between Swimming In Lipari and Paco Rabbane Invictus.. Overall I still prefer Living Stromboli but Swimming In Lipari is definitely much better than last year's Discover Vulcano which did not do much for me at all.. Fans of Living Stromboli and Paco Rabbane Invictus should definitely give Swimming In Lipari a sniff..

This is a good scent. Not a great one but a solid good one. It clearly has the Light Blue DNA but adds a more salty (almost savory) version of the original. The ambergris is tasteful although it clearly is feeding off of the ambergris/ambroxin trend. Glad I only bought a 15 ml decant. Although I like it enough to finish the 15 ml, I don't think I will ever purchase a full bottle. My only gripe with this one is that you go nose blind to it very quickly. I asked coworkers to make sure it didn't disappear altogether. Overall, happy I tried it. Based off of the notes was expecting slightly more but still offers something nice. Like not love.

Got a bottle of this for Christmas. It smells in my opinion quite different to Light Blue. There's a note in here that I'm not familiar with that I haven't smelled before which I'm guessing to be ambergris, which to me is most prominent. But the saltiness is very much there. Nice and refreshing, reminds me of beach air. I think it's also pretty inoffensive and if you like fresh/aquatic type scents a safe blind buy, though it isn't really too unique. I quite like it. On my skin it doesn't work in extreme heat like I would like it to, so for me more of a spring time fragrance. Overall I give it a 7/10

I'm glad I got the sample of this before buying the bottle, it's an interesting opening, I get the citrus notes, but I get a sort of cucumber smell, reminds me a tiny bit of Clinique Happy for men, the opening sadly passes very quickly, then it becomes fairly nondescript, Summer fragrances are really important, and there are far too many lazy editions being offered in recent years, on that note I applaud Issey Miyake. This one's ok, and just that 5/10, it's a bit soft, doesn't last amazingly well either, and who on earth can smell rock salt? Are seagulls and white sharks reviewing fragrances?

One of the Best modern aquatics money can buy. You get the classic light blue DNA, plus alot of salt and ambergris. Leaving this fragrance more masculine and bold than other light blue fragrances in my opinion. Nothing amazing for niche heads here, but mass appealing , masculine, bold and a great performer this one is for sure. A new staple in my collection and one of the best designer aquatics on the market in my opinion. 5 to 7 hours longevity, decent projection, good silage

I have a sample of this fragrance. I mean, it smells good, but nothing special for me .. is not among my taste, but not bad! Suitable for the summer definitely. I feel much salt in this composition .. after 10 minutes it becomes more woody with notes of musk and ambergris .. overall a good fragrance. Sillage: 7/10 Longevity: 7.5/10 Scent: 6.5/10 Overall: 6./10.

The opening of this one is a lot better than Eau Intense because it doesn't have that sour citrus top note. This one is a purified version of light blue and Im really liking it. Swimming in Lipari focuses more on the marine notes than the original and the intense version. Very solid fragrance!

Just sniffed this in Nordstrom and it's a resounding 'meh'. It smells completely non descript and just like all the Light Blue flankers that have come before it. Nothing about this is memorable or worth more than the effort to get a free sample. I'd skip it...but that's just me. :-D

This fragrance smells great with it's fresh aquatic opening. It's a safe fragrance you can wear for a day at the beach or on Casual Friday. It lasts a moderate 5-6 Hours on my skin. It also smells very similar to Armani's Essenza with a hint of salt added. I give this an 8.5/10.

Projects for like 15 minutes and then becomes a skin scent. Smells like a weaker version of Light Blue. Not really a fan

Truly nice male scent. Refreshing, citrus, a bit salty and very relaxing. Good for all occasions.

Just got some samples of this. Very light projection. I am smelling melon in the open, and then hints of cucumber (hate both of those). Yes, the salt is there and it is oceanic. There is some subtle citrus as well that is not unpleasantly sweet. But there is no beach grass, seaweed, or "water" scent. There are probably some seasides that smell this way, but I am looking for something a little different. Could be a nice light summer fragrance to splash on linen, but not sure it's worth hunting unless you are on a quest for a perfect beach and ocean scent like I am.

Glad I only got a 5 mL decant of it. But this doesn't work well for my skin. It becomes too salty and fishy (even on my clothes), to the point that it can become rancid. Then I knew what it reminded me of. Aqva Marine by Bvlgari. I hated that one for the same reason. But I can see why some people like this one. It's subjective after all.

I test it and I'm very dissapointed! With the first sniff I detect something very unpleasent, maybe the salt...I dont know..This is not a real marine or pleasent fragrance to me...no citrus...no sea...no sweetness...only this unpleasent smell which I meet in more modern fragrances...sorry!

So disappointed !! 🤦 It is so bad and common fragrance. Either smell cheap. No salt . It is Davidoff cool water in other bottle. Seems to be fresh but Bitter grapefruit and rosemary makes me feel angry . Nothing to do with Classic Light blue. So sad about bought this pungent summer fragrance.

This had just today arrived to my local perfume shop and so I gave it a test. The opening is very nice, salty seabreeze with a hint of sweetness. Very fresh, and actually reminded me of the seaside, more than many other fragrances that I feel try to do that. Longevity was pretty decent, about 5 hours, but the projection was not that good after a couple of hours. (It is -2 celsius here so that might have some effect on that.) However, the dry down seems very boring: just musk with a hint of sweetness from the ambergris. Nothing to write home about. Overall, after the first test I gave it, seems like a decent summer frag, and that salty sea air -note is actually pretty unique. Different enough from original Light Blue. I'm on the middle on this one after the first test.

Light Blue Swimming in Lipari feels like a salty dive off the dock—sun on your back, sea spray on your face, nothing on the agenda but the water. It’s ideal for beach days, boat trips, and casual summer errands when you want that clean, marine freshness without fuss. Longevity is light‐to‐moderate at about 4–6 hours on skin with a lively first hour; sillage starts noticeable outdoors, then settles close, and it does better on clothes. Best in summer and warm spring days, easy to re‐spray from a gym or beach bag.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Swimming in Lipari is a saltier marine take on the original Light Blue. A very pleasant citrus/marine opening makes way to an oddly salty dry down. Projection and longevity aren't special but it's a neat departure, albeit not as clean as the original. Still, the dry down is slightly prohibitive in that it's salty but slightly stale/rotten, not refined like the dry down of Every Storm a Serenade. Mediocre on the whole but worth trying if you are optimistic. 4 out of 10

I hate that really annoying and trendy term "weaksauce." However, it is a really appropriate term for this cologne and others like it. Pleasant smelling yes, but completely generic and non-existent projection and longevity. Gone after 20 minutes unless I'm directly placing my nose on where it was sprayed. It makes me wonder why perfumers make stuff like this. Sure, I can needing a non-offesive smell (e.g. for the office) but who would only want it to smell for 20 minutes?

Swimming in Lipari smells exactly like the user voting. It is great in its ambergis note, which is its main captivating note. Then there is also its saltiness to it that rounds up its character. Some floral and citrus y notes making it a nicely done aquatic. I'd recommend it, as its one of the best aquatic designer scents.

How D&G could turn something that is supposed to be a refreshing warm weather scent into something horrible is quite an accomplishment. The whole fragrance is dominated by some off-putting wood note that resembles cedar soaked in cat pee for years. I had to start scrubbing down like a surgeon after this.

I tried it yesterday `cause i thought it`s smell as good as Living Stromboli or even better ,but I was dissapointed :) it`s smell very similar to many other perfumes as last YSL-ones.So I don`t like this new summer version of Light blue .

Great scent, moderate performance. However, I primarily use it as an overlay with some of my woody based fragrances that are going into dry down. What a combination! Especially with Penhaligon’s Endymion

I assume AlexPurple is referring to Acqua di Joe, by JoeJoe Armani. This one is indeed superior. But, as always, take all your fuckin AI trash off this website @alescweb nobody wants it

smells exactly like the original lblue, minus the projection. the original is far better in every way, especially the sillage. 1st and last buy

if anyone has a bottle and it willing to sell it to me with the box i am located in the US please PM me

Who thought that light blue + salt would be so good. Very refreshing and satisfying!

Very similar to Bvlgari ́s Homme Aqva Marine, but lasts much longer.

Anyone else think this smells similar to Calvin Klein Eternity Aqua?

Smells like Bvlgari Aqva Marine
