Perfumer Reviews 'Light Blue Eau Intense Pour Homme' by Dolce & Gabbana

[@jackwaters7633]

The knowledge he passes on to us is something we don’t get with our perfumers or reviewers! Absolutely intoxicating to listen to his reviews. Thank you Aaron 🤩

[@huimo4886]

Been watching him twice a week since 2019. Love him very much

[@OceanluvOC]

Agree 💯 especially since I work with perfumers at my company. Aaron breaks down each ingredient and how they all work together! I have the greatest respect for Aaron!

[@jakobdieckmann]

I like it. It’s a nice scent for summer. It performs better than most summer scents. It has this base that lasts long after the citrus tones disappear.

[@dep1001]

I love wearing this on hot summer days! Lovely fragrance for sure! Counting the days for summer to arrive :)

[@chi-towncalifornia5916]

Lovely review, Aaron! Light Blue Eau Intense was my first proper designer I bought for myself, and still remains my favorite marine/oceanic blue fragrance. It’s the perfect combination of body chemistry compatibility, likability, and superb longevity for me, and interestingly enough, garnered more compliments from strangers than any other fragrance I’ve ever bought.

[@marshjj3788]

And it smells so modern-fresh, it's hard to offend people with it.

[@winnienguyen4420]

It really is gorgeous. I remember telling my husband to buy this one over Sauvage one time when we were shopping at the mall. It's so much better to my nose.

[@marshjj3788]

The green and slightly spicy notes go beautifully with that classic "freshie" smell to make this one of my favourites

[@cornestam3127]

Exactly this! Remembers me of the beaches in Greece where I used to wear this one a lot

[@darriangario3447]

Yeah there's an herbaceous quality that makes it sublime

Great review as always Aaron! Really like this one, super easy to wear! I'm into Calone fragances, all of these aquatic ones like the Aqva line from Bvlgari and so on.

[@aFutureSelf]

This is my #1 go to fragrance in FL. Best scent for the weather here for many settings I’m in. Lasts long enough for what I need it to, vibrant scent that can set a good mood. I used it while merchandising for Coca Cola back in 2020, still use it in the office working enterprise IT today. Great scent right after a shower, great workout fragrance, lounging around gaming, cleaning my apartment, Just all around an amazing fragrance for me personally. My other go to is the regular Invictus as it matches the weather here too but just a tad bit heavier and smooth instead of the sharp brightness of Light blue intense. Great review as per usual Aaron 🙏

[@FSVR54]

Weather is overrated. I'm in the pits of Miami and I love my dry, woodsy vetiver bombs

[@lx4589]

how is the projection?

[@NEHalex]

@@lx4589 for me it’s nice, nothing insane but I would say 5-6 sprays will get you 6-7 hours longevity and moderate projection, goes more of a skin scent I feel after about 4 hours-

[@darriangario3447]

This scent is amazing projection for me is 3ft 8 hours smells like the ocean to me it's so enjoyable sometimes I wear it in the winter. It really does last all day on me

[@R2sojr09]

I have the Intense and OG. Something about these just pull me back in every time. They aren’t overly powerful or citrus bombs. I love it. I rotate these and Aqua Di Gio Profondo.

[@lawrences.6298]

Which one you like more Intense or Prodondo? Thanks in advance

[@Loki-sk7bi]

Probably the best performing freshie in my collection. Safe and appealing to many people. It’s my signature scent. My skin sucks but this turns into magic once my body temperature increases from walking.

[@R2sojr09]

This and Aqua Di Gio Profondo are king of summer aquatics.

As someone who really likes salty aquatics and needed something with some citrus for summer (by choice, not because I feel like I HAVE to have a citrus because people say so), this was basically made for me hahaha.

You've hot really huge knowleage and i love how you talk about fragrances. Could you try Dolce Gabbana pour homme EDT. It is really nice hidding jam and fougere fragrance. None is taking about this scent.

[@No85Limits]

For very high heat, this is one of my favs to use.... it's one of the few that holds up in high heat/high humidity... I also really love Xerjoff Nio for same situation... but this I especially like when i go to the beach or go out fishing or I'm on vacation in the type of environment I described,... also a bit of a classic that is heavily underrated - really like the drydown for high heat - Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme.... the opening is a little harsh/rough but then the drydown is really pleasant... fresh citrusy... good for the heat. Something I've always liked. I'm married now, so i don't "live for compliments" but it's still nice to get them, and it got me one... i was pretty shocked, because the woman looked like she was in her 20s... made me wear it a bit more often lol

[@biliharp9839]

Hi. Try Versace Man Eau Fraiche very close to D&G :) so good!

[@SuomenPaska]

This fragrance was interesting to me, if you don't like the opening you should definitely still pay attention to the drydown. It's significantly different and has this sweet musky aroma - I basically wear this for the drydown alone even though I don't really enjoy the opening all that much.

I know what you are talking about. A lot of people claim they get the egg yolk smell from this one, but I find it to be more prominent in some of the Acqua di Gio and Bvlgari Aqua fragrances.

LBI and Y EDP were my go-to for 2 years as warm weather fragrances. LBI for women is also one of my favorite summer perfumes on a woman.

[@lichh64]

Do you feel like Y sometimes gets overpowering? I smelled it but it was a tad too sweet for me especiallyin the heat it might get nauseating, so I wanna try LBI

[@madjinxify]

@@lichh64 depends how hot it is. In really hot/humid weather Y EDP does get noticeably sweeter, and I never would do more then 2-3 sprays. In the same heat LBI can get very…salty? That said, both are still huge compliment magnets of women of all ages. Personally now, I prefer PDM Percival or Nishane Hacivat.

[@MysteriousDrella]

My second ever fragrance years ago was light Blue (normal version, supposedly for ladies, but definately unisex). I was craving it, so i had to get myself a bottle. Still costs an arm and a leg at retail even though it's 20+ years old. I liked it more than the intense, although the sales person said it was the same fragrance, but only more intense and longer lasting. To my nose it wasn't. I still like it, but the intense version was way more woody and masculine to my nose. Light blue is almost like a sparkling lemonade (lemon instead of grapefruit, and apparantly less artificial smelling than the men's version). Still love it for 22°c + weather, allthough it smells a bit different from it's starting years.

[@profound369]

It is not at all the same fragrance. People at the retailers are absolutely clueless. They do no studies on these fragrances, they just go by opinion

LB Intense smells quite amazing when layered with The One EDP, on a Date in the summer. This is also just super versatile as long as you use it in the Spring and summer, but it works for Day and Night and any occasion. 👌

[@Olm9]

Funny.. that thought crossed my mind after I received the LB Intense a few days ago and tried it briefly. Haven't had time to dive into it though.. But how do you layer it? I was thinking maybe the usual 5 sprays of LB and the 1 or 2 sprays of The One just to and a little extra og that DNA 😊

Watching your reviews further strengthened the idea that no one can be blamed for preferring designer fragrances, the quality you get for your money is undisputed. The term "mass appealing" used when anyone reviews a fragrance has always bugged me. Aren't you (I don't mean Aaron, but anyone reviewing a fragrance) part of the masses as well ? Or when you're choosing a fragrance, your main criteria is how many people will not be able to enjoy your fragrance, as opposed to how much you're enjoying it yourself?

[@DuSeun]

Mass appealing means that the average person will probably like it. And as a fragrance enthusiast, your own taste will probably be far different from what the masses like

[@Slimbk13]

@@DuSeun Why would you assume that a fragrance enthusiast will lose his appreciation for likeable scents? I do know a couple of people who would be called fragrance enthusiasts based on the hundreds of bottles they massed and on the hundreds of decants they keep ordering. Surprisingly or not, they still very much enjoy the fragrances they started their collection with, like Allure Homme Sport or such. Again, my point is why do people start describing a fragrance by naming it "mass appealing", as if it's more important to them how other people feel about it and only after that comes their own feelings about it. Think what you want, but I am yet to encounter another place with so many snobs as the fragrance community.

[@numberoneballer2075]

@@DuSeun to me that sounds like mass appealing means most people think it smells good. A lot of "challenging" fragrances just smell like shit

[@davidmaman1223]

To me mass appealing just means it's quite simple and linear not that thats bad but i have plenty of simple good perfumes and im more interested in creative and rich scents

[@DuSeun]

I never said that a fragrance enthusiast will lose his appreciation for a likeable scent. Mass appeal is not necessarily negative or positive, but it is a characteristic. If I'm looking for an office scent I want to make sure if it's mass appealing, but at an exclusive party I like something bold and memorable. And at home I don't have to worry about mass appeal so I can wear what I feel like. Mass appealing is more versatile, but the scents you personally love most may not always be mass appealing, so it's important to know on what occasions not to wear a challenging fragrance
