With the Crustaceans...
That right there is what Dolce and Gabbana could have coined in the process of trying to name their blue marvel, LIGHT BLUE INTENSE (Pour Homme). A superb, SUPERB all-time Blue Fragrance that evokes all the colorful, sun-soaked whimsy of your last beachside holiday.
This is coming from someone who isn't that fond of blue scents. I find their over-reliance on citrus and under-reliance on performance too be par for the course and extremely frustrating. There are exceptions. BLUE DE CHANEL PARFUM is incredibly versatile, a little darker, and suited to all occasions; and performs extremely well. On the cheap side we have Nautica Voyage: an addicting, clean, fresh out of the pool experience that will never grow old.
Right in the middle we have D&G LIGHT BLUE INTENSE. It's not dark like BDC, nor as expensive, and compared to NAUTICA it's more authentically "Beach-side" then VOYAGE is. We do get the obligatory citrus, but it hits you creamily at the top, and quickly makes way to LIGHT BLUE INTENSE's show stopping marine notes. Though inherently they won't be to everyone's tastes (all you spicy/amber fans out there), these notes capture the oceanic breeze, the salty waves, and the crisp clarity of being at the beach (sand mites LUCKILY not included). It literally took my breath away on first wear.
I have since placed LIGHT BLUE INTENSE permenantly into my Spring/Summer rotation. Unlike many of it's blue counterparts, INTENSE has a surprisingly robust performance, and will be complimented for hours at the distance of a couple meters. Impressive.
Take a dip with the Crustaceans. Try out LIGHT BLUE INTESE when it warms up.
