![]() Detailed below, I will tell you why I decided to roll with another brand fragrance. She noted this Light Blue flanker was not as popular as others from the past. The saleswoman wholeheartedly agreed with my decision. Instead, I departed with Givenchy Gentleman tucked away in my shopping bag. Spoiler alert: I did not pull the proverbial trigger. However, during a casual visit to the shopping mall, I spotted the new 2021 release of their shelves. Given my previous experiences with the Light Blue collection, my intentions were to blind buy a bottle. I have always welcomed a Dolce & Gabbana release, and this year was no different as I was excited about putting my nose on the latest – Light Blue Forever. Subsequently, a plethora of Light Blue iterations (flankers) followed with periodic releases throughout the years. Now, one of my favorite men’s fragrances, Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue, was launched 14 years ago in 2007. ![]() Generally, they were easy to wear and inoffensive to the surrounding public. The fragrances that I have experienced were always pleasant and smelled fantastic. No real distinction.Historically, I have long held an ardent appreciation for designer fragrances released from luxury Italian house Dolce & Gabbana. Both are suited to being a fresh daily wear, casual fragrance, or other events along those lines. Both are best in the spring and summer months. They really didn’t need to do much and it doesn’t seem like they did anything to improve the longevity with Eau Intense.īeing two versions of the same basic scent, they’re really not going to be different, in terms of usage. The original EDT has always been one of the better performers, as far as mainstream perfumes go. Though, I really don’t notice Eau Intense going on beyond what I get from Light Blue. For both of them, I get somewhere in the 9-10 hour range, which is great. While Eau Intense is certainly stronger, I don’t know if it actually lasts any longer on the skin. The original is pretty light to moderate, anyway, but Eau Intense does indeed have a bolder character to it. Obviously, with the name Eau Intense, the sillage should be stronger than the original. I like the apple note more, it doesn’t feel as sharp, and the marigold is a nice change of pace from the usual rose. Which is better? I actually prefer the start to Eau Intense. It’s not massive, but the freshness is already peaking through. The amberwood note does appear too, early on, in place of the cedar from the original. The absence of the rose helps, as does the toned down lemon note. This gives it a different feeling, while still being fairly familiar. Also, the rose is replaced with marigold, here. It’s a Granny Smith apple and is actually stronger than the lemon, at first, reversing the original. But, they do start with a bang.Įau Intense also begins with lemon and apple. Later, it will shift more floral and musky with less of the in your face impact of the fruit notes. Slightly sugary, but not ever overwhelming with it, more like an undercurrent. The lemon and the apple create a slight lemonade aroma to it. It’s sharp, somewhat aquatic, crisp, with a decent amount of rose aroma, to give it some depth. The original Light Blue starts off with lemon, a nice apple note, and some rose.
