Summer, sea, chirping of locusts... oh simply have a nice time!

Hey hey guys, hello and have a nice evening. Today is another mainstream day. Yes, that must be also times, because I find that mainstream smells are not at all so bad. Of course, there are also those whose synthetics smell disgustingly disgusting and make a fragrance appear extremely cheap, but there are also just as many great mainstream fragrances. The only real disadvantage of these fragrances is that they all smell quite similar by now... of course, with so much choice these days it's no wonder. Well, now I've tried Light Blue from Dolce & Gabbana. And that's the Eau Intense Flanker of it. This was my first Light Blue from D&G for men, so I can't compare this fragrance with the other Light Blues for now, but one thing I can say in advance: The fragrance here is pretty good!

Everything looks so great at first glance. The blue color of the bottle reminds me inevitably of the sea and of a vacation, which unfortunately fell this year with me "into the water" and stands also next year due to not existing "escort possibilities" in form of a female society on the dump.
"Well, why don't you take your buddies to the sea?" You could say now. Yes, that could work, but the problem is that some of my buddies are quite idiots when it comes to the sea! :D
Because for inexplicable reasons some of them don't like the sea so much and prefer to go camping in the forest or travel to countries where there are many car tuning events... and everyone else has no time anyway or just go to the sea with their girlfriends.
Aaarrgh... how can you not like the water??? Well, first of all the summer is coming to an end... so I will complain and moan again next summer :DD

Anyway, this scent is quite successful here and could be one of those scents that you could remember for the next summer!

The fragrance:

The fragrance begins with an excellent tangerine-grapefruit mix. Some may not find such a thing so special, but citrus fans might like this combination because it smells fresh and lively. Besides there is juniper, which comes across slightly woody-warm. The summery feeling is then completed by aquatic notes. The synthetics here are present, but not disturbing at all.
It stays that way for a long time. The mandarins seem to alternate in their intensity with the grapefruit (but also smell like lemons every now and then), the woody notes smell great and everything is generally reminiscent of holiday resorts, especially after the aquatic scents are becoming more and more marine, as soon a pinch of salt is added, reminiscent of the sea water or the salty air near the coast.
Later it still smells fresh and maritime, with some warm woody notes in the background, coming from the above mentioned juniper, mixed with slightly sweetish amber. Towards the end, the impression of synthetics becomes a bit stronger, but for me it still remains within a framework that is not disturbing. All in all a beautiful, fresh summer scent.

The Sillage and the shelf life:

The fragrance is not particularly strong, but not as weak as most other citrus fragrances. I think that's good because you can smell the scent for a little while on yourself or on yourself if you're not too far away. The shelf life is okay for a summery fresh scent. It can be smelled for four to six hours until it gradually vaporises.

The bottle:

The bottle is roundish/oval and has a not entirely transparent, milky glass in a bluish colour, and due to the likewise bluish scent liquid everything appears again beautifully strong blue. The bottle arches upwards towards the outside. This is followed by a chrome-plated neck with a blue or turquoise lid. All in all a very nice bottle!

Oooh! The scent's really not bad. It's beautiful for even really beautiful. The summer feeling comes across well and you just feel transported back to summer, actually even more to a holiday resort with great beaches, bright blue sky and sea, lots of fun and such things. The junipers also give you the feeling of hiking in such places, for example exploring the hills and forests of the beaches or close to the beach for a change, while you perceive the scent of plants roasted in the sun and let the ears of crickets roar full. And when you come back to your seat exhausted, you take a little refreshment in the form of small snacks and possibly a tasty coconut drink and then run back into the cool, beautiful wet :)
*sigh* You'd have to be there now, wouldn't you?

So yes, this fragrance has become a summer fragrance that is suitable for all kinds of activities during the day and is worth a test in my opinion!

I am finished with that again and wish you all a nice evening :)

Blindbuy 2.0 - Caribbean Blue

"What does a perfumer do when he can't get into a perfumery anymore?"

Sounds like a joke. But it's deadly serious Honestly, what does a perfume do?

I was looking for one or two new fragrances for the summer and apart from Parfumo, other perfume sites on the net and of course YouTube, there wasn't really much opportunity to find out about potential summer scents that could make it into my collection.

Besides Prada L'Homme, which I had bought blindly on the net (hence Blindbuy 2.0 - Ahaaaaa!), the blue intensive one came into the shopping cart and was ordered without further ado.

Yesterday was the moment of truth and both fragrances were tested intensively and extensively. Once again a really fat sorry to my partner, who now has to support me with fragrance testing in addition to my home office duties. And with me, testing a fragrance has almost something manic about it. Meticulous notes are taken, analysed and compared.

So also with Light Blue pour Homme Eau Intense - For simplicity's sake, I will limit myself to Light Blue Intense, everything else is madness.

When I held the bottle in my hand, I suddenly felt like summer. It was as if I had an ice-cold cocktail glass in my hand, fresh from the icy freezer. It felt really ice cold.
But what good is the glass if I don't like the cocktail?

So: Once applied a sprayer (yes, ok, there were four). And BOOOOOOOOM - it catapulted me straight back to our holiday that my girlfriend and I had taken in February. We were on the Isla Tinipan, which is located in the San Bernardo archipelago.
How? Don't you know?
Don't worry, I was the same way until we planned our holidays. (If you want to skip the excursion, please skip to "AUFTAKT").
Isla Tintipan is located, as already mentioned, in the archipelago of San Bernardo and this archipelago belongs geographically seen to the Caribbean and politically seen to Colombia. From the city of Cartagena it takes about two hours by boat to reach the island. After the rather uncomfortable boat trip there, you will find a Caribbean paradise. A luxury hotel, so exclusive, as I had seen only a few before, white and above all deserted dream beaches, crystal clear water in all nuances what the blue color gives. Far away from the crowds of mass tourism we enjoyed ourselves there for a few days.

But now to:

UPDATE
Right at the first sniff it catapulted me back to the above mentioned island. The scent is truly a blast - that's how I imagine it when my partner furiously blasts a frozen grapefruit twice around my ears (why should you store a grapefruit in the freezer?!).

The prelude is strongly citric, extremely pungent and really icy cold.
A real powerhouse.

As refreshing as an ice-cold, bitter citrus fruit cocktail I treat myself to on a hot day on a Caribbean holiday.
It'll run right into you and won't let go. And you know already - he stays all day long!
HEARTNOTE

Such a cocktail is not something you can drink within a few minutes, no, it is something you enjoy. Especially when it's hot like this.
Meanwhile lounge - "lounges", also such a misnomer - we in the shade. The Caribbean sea directly in front of us. It is still hot as hell But is it the cocktail or the light breeze blowing in from the sea that makes it a little cooler, a little more pleasant now.
In the heart note I feel very clearly the salty air that blows from the sea. Dust dry and yet refreshing.
But I also still feel the ice-cold citrus fruit cocktail, where the nice bartender with the juniper schnapps perhaps meant a little too well. Is that why she smiled at me like that?

In the heart note at the latest, the ambroxan notes now also catch my eye. They are strong. They're present. And they will never leave my side again.
But there are no vibes of a "wild water", I hear the people already ask. No, I'm sure not. But a quite light masculine shower gel freshness cannot be denied here either. Even if the citrus notes and the slightly salty sea breeze will dominate the whole course.

BASIS

The fragrance is and remains a powerhouse. Even after a good 6 hours I still smell the citric and icy freshness of the opening and the tangy sea note from the heart.
But what is this? There are actually woods in there! Br /> But not a whole forest. No, not even a tree More like driftwood. Beautiful. Gentle. Lovely A feast for the eyes like driftwood on a Caribbean beach, the sun slowly sinks into the sea and after a good 8 hours the day comes to an end.
The cocktail is empty, the skin warm from summer, the lips tightened and have become salty from the sea breeze.
And my girlfriend, who runs a few meters in front of me when I leave the beach, wears a wonderful musky perfume.

CONCLUSION

Wow!
I actually wanted to write "Blaues Auge" as the title, but that would have certainly put people off.

It is a perfect summer scent.
It smells of sea, beach and beach party.
The smell is loud, the scent is hard and it is really a powerhouse through and through.

However, because of the synthetic that can't be completely denied, it also comes across a bit "clumsy" and "rough" at times, maybe even has something boorish in very subtle features.

Nevertheless, I can clearly give a buy recommendation.
This blue cocktail will definitely be my blind buy summer companion.

Can't you smell it?!

A certain Mr Fragrance on YouTube made me want to test this DG.
Moreover, it seems to be very popular, which has driven my curiosity even higher.

Arriving at the perfumery, I sprayed the stuff on myself.
Upon opening, I thought, "Awesome!", tangerine and grapefruit were readily apparent.
My nose was so tempted that I could not even imagine bad things.
I was practically on my way to the register to bag the thing before I tilted my head again toward the sprayed-on spot and suddenly realized with a disfigured look and dilated pupils, "Dude, what is that!"
It smelled like a fusion of cat pee and Wc Duck Citrus?
Definitely something quite unpleasant, which made my curiosity recoil.
The lousy smell stayed about 5 hours on my skin and to the sillage I can not contribute much, because my nose was numb.

To be honest I do not understand the hype, but there you see again how differently smells are perceived.
Ultimately, I was glad that I have sniffed again on my skin, because the 60 Moneten I would have thrown out.

The bottle is but quite nice.

Love deeper than the ocean

I'm lying on a beach somewhere in the Indian Ocean. The sun is blinding and I pull my Panama hat deep into my face

I take a sip of my Mai Tai and notice how my beautiful girlfriend crawls my hand through the back of my head and puts a manderine in my hand.

A short time later I notice how her hand grabs mine and pulls me piece by piece into the water full of joy.

The warm turquoise blue water rises only slowly and she jumps into my arms. I am still slightly sleep-drunk from my nap and we almost fall into the water but I manage to catch them before we are completely immersed.

We laugh and I kiss her golden brown shoulder to the neck. Her skin is salty from the water and the closer I get to her ear, the stronger I smell the shampoo she used this morning.

Slowly some wind comes up and the slowly growing waves caress our bodies together with the wind while we kiss each other.

The sky gets darker and we decide to go out of the water. It's late anyway and dinner started a long time ago. The spray rinses some algae. The soft nutty smell accompanies us as we quickly roll up our towels and walk towards the hotel.

We wash up and storm towards the hotel restaurant. Since we are the last, we only get one place on the terrace, which is plagued by the ever stronger wind. I take a look at the beach, individual branches and pieces of wood are washed up. The smell of the damp wood and the warm climate rise into my nose.

Just as we were philosophising about God and the world, my girlfriend asked me what love was. I looked her deep into the eyes and thought for a few seconds when there was a loud thunderbolt and the thunderstorm kept coming towards us.

And as uncomfortable as the situation may be for some, this spectacle of nature fascinates me very much.

After we are the last ones in the restaurant and the waiters are already there for us longer than usual, we make our way to the room. The staff protects the building from the storm and I hear in the corridor to the room how heavy rain dump knocks against the roof.

I briefly stop my girlfriend at the door and say to her "Love is like the ocean. Deeper than we could ever imagine, more diverse than we will ever know and the origin of all life".
My girlfriend looks me passionately in the eyes before we enter the room and smiles mischievously at me. She opens the door, pulls me into the room and when the door slams shut...
I fall out of my hammock in the garden because my girlfriend has shaken me so hard that I get scared. She laughed and told me a storm was coming.

She still laughed because I fell off the mat, hugged me and said that I smelled great again.

At that moment I realized that everything was just a visual dream about Light Blue Intense.

Beautiful, summery maritime beginning, which turns woody-green for hours and ends in an absolute storm.

Successful intensification of a great fragrance

In 2017, this beautiful Intense fragrance of the Light Blue was launched on the market. Simultaneously with the much better known female variant. Since the release of this release I have been looking at this Intense version since I liked the original very much but unfortunately the performance was very weak. Beautiful top note, which unfortunately quickly becomes very weak and is hardly noticeable after 1-2 hours. The main reason why I was curious about this Intense version.
This fragrance was on my watch list for a long time and also thanks to greater praise on YouTube, it made it onto my wish list without being tested. If you like the original, you don't take much risk with this Intense version anyway. Actually wanted to buy this fragrance much earlier, this year in late summer, it has finally fit. Now also for a great price. I can only recommend the 200ml version for about 70 Euro to everyone. Here you get a good price-performance ratio and you can deal generously with.

This Intense version is by Alberto Morillas, just like the original Light Blue. For me one of the best perfumes when it comes to fresh scents. By far not the most creative, but he simply meets the taste of the masses and creates fragrances that can be worn for any occasion. For everyday life definitely many fragrances that I like The bottle is beautiful in this maritime blue. The glass is really very very soft and especially the 200ml version fits the hand beautifully. Matching the frozen grapefruit there is a stylish milk glass. An eye-catcher and very summery fitting to the concept.
The fragrance is close to the original. The DNA is clearly perceptible over the entire course. The original is rightly indicated as a fragrance twin. I do not see Aqva Marine and Coach as twins. When smelled close up I find the top note of this Intense fragrance rather pungent and synthetic. However, it goes on a certain distance and settles down after hour 1, starting with fresh fruity notes, especially grapefruit. Very strong, great sillage. Plus a great not too violent sweetness. After the first hour it becomes much milder and beautifully maritime and summery. In the base it finishes very gently with maritime, soft woody notes.
I find the top note from the original a bit better, as it is more natural. Unfortunately, the naturally fresh and gentle fragrances are not extremely durable. This was well thought out. It is more synthetic, but it lasts already some hours more with good Sillage.

For me, a year-round fragrance that suits the mesitic occasions. Best in summer and spring in everyday life, for sports activities or simply in your free time. Currently, however, also works on grey days, as fresh fragrances are always possible.
A No-Brainer that is not a reinvention of the wheel. Nevertheless a pleasant companion that can always be worn and is also well received by the masses. If you're looking for something fancy, you're in the wrong place. I can recommend the twin Aqva Marine, which is listed here, but I think it is better by classes. For me, one of the kings of aqautic scents. Nevertheless I like to have Light Blue Eau Intense in my collection.
