Light blue top mens11/8/2023 ![]() ![]() It’s a lighter and ozonic cologne when compared to the original Light Blue Pour Homme. Light Blue Sun Pour Homme– Grapefruit, bergamot, and coconut give this one its fruity essence. The watery accord is good, it comes out strong in the back half of the wear along with amber. The citrus here might be the lightest in the entire series. Patchouli, vetiver, and some very light citrus round things out. Living Stromboli is a refreshing spice, with an underlying dryness to the entire fragrance. Not bad, but pink pepper isn’t my favorite note. ![]() ![]() Well, the pink pepper note really dominates things early. Not a salty oceanic note, but more of a synthetic fresh aquatic aroma. I got my full bottle and wanted to try it out, as it had an aquatic calone accord. Light Blue Living Stromboli– I had slightly higher hopes for this one. It’s all pretty nice, nothing great, but I did like the oceanic vibe that this one puts off. Then, you add a lot of amber and a salty marine accord. Grapefruit, rosemary is basically the same as the original. It shares a lot of similarities with something like Light Blue Sun, in the initial stages. Swimming in Lipari is a saltier and marine version of the Light Blue DNA. I don’t have a particular preference for one versus the other, but I did have to buy a full bottle of the next entry. Swimming in Lipari– So, this one and the next are essentially tied. The smell is pretty good, performance is okay, and it never truly delivers anything all that memorable. It all sounded better on paper than when I’m actually wearing Love is Love. It does remain fresh and aromatic without becoming too much of a one-sided scent. It’s sweeter and creamier, with the same apple note that the women’s fragrance uses. Taking elements of each and adding a vanilla ice cream note in the mix. It’s like a mix of the original Pour Homme and Femme Intense. This fragrance seems to try to bridge between the Pour Femme and Pour Homme lines of Light Blue. Light Blue Love is Love– Love is Love is another Light Blue flanker that went for something a bit different, yet familiar, and ultimately kind of misses out on being a great scent. It’s got plenty of overlap with the original Light Blue Pour Homme, just in a much less likeable form.Īs I wrote in my review, “The progression of this scent is: citrus, citrus/spice, citrus/musk/spice, citrus/musk/woods.” It’s all okay, the opening is kind of annoying, but Zest is just a forgettable cologne. Some incense smokiness, Sichuan pepper, and a musky finish. ![]() There are the drier and spicier elements. Lemon is the lead early, with further contributions from the grapefruit and bergamot notes. I did easily like it more than Vulcano, but slightly below the next entry on the list. For me though, this is the spot to put it. Italian Zest– Italian Zest could be ranked a place or two higher on the list. It’s not completely terrible to me, but the combination of notes and trying to capture the spirit of this island, just never worked to my nose. Lavender, cedar, vetiver round things out with some ginger spice thrown in for good measure. It can be somewhat sour, dry, and it doesn’t really develop all that much. Vulcano came out in 2014 and is led by a massive use of cypress and an initial burst of lemon. I do give credit to D&G for trying something a bit different, but its appeal is pretty limited for most people. This list starts at my least favorite and concludes in order with what I consider to be the top Light Blue.ĭiscover Vulcano– At the bottom of the list, is the unique, but ultimately not very good Light Blue Discover Vulcano. It’s been discontinued for a long time and is getting difficult to find, anyway. By most accounts, it was middle of the pack, at best. I haven’t tried it to this point, didn’t want to spend money on a full bottle, in order to do so. Note: The list doesn’t include, an older release, Beauty of Capri.
