Light Blue pour Homme Eau Intense Dolce & Gabbana 2017
Good Longevity ... unfortunately
Opens fruity and summery, but also somewhat synthetic.
Then comes one of the most beautiful heart notes of a summer fragrance ever:
Aquatic and modern - completely without that old-school Davidoff Cool Water or deodorant scent, but simply like the pure ocean at its finest. Wow!
But then comes the big disappointment in the base:
Gradually, a note emerges that simply smells like sweat, until it ultimately dominates everything. Admittedly, the perfume is then only close to the skin, but still, that's exactly the note you don't want, especially in summer, and it really put me off.
Of course, also tested on paper to exclude personal influences.
Additionally, this sweat smell lingers for an incredibly long time.
Thus, LB Eau Intense is one of the few fragrances where I wished for a shorter longevity.

It's a shame you don't like the scent.. It really does depend on how it interacts with your skin. Luckily, it works great for me and lasts over 8 hours! :)

Try it out at 20°C and above. That's when the scent really reveals its full potential.

Hmm, I don't smell that "sweat" at all. I actually really like the mineral base. But if that's too much for you, you should try the Edition Blanche by Chanel. It's probably much easier to like for summer. However, I have to strongly disagree with you about the synthetic note you mentioned at the beginning. I find the top note incredibly natural for this price range. No toilet bowl vibe, which is often the case with citrus top notes.
