Overhyped
Due to all the hype I was not really interested in trying it, also I find that citric fragrances do not last so long. When I had the opportunity to test it, I was rather positively surprised.
Light Blue starts with a burst of citrus under-laid by musk and cedar. It stays very linear with the citrus getting a bit weaker and lasts for about five hours, which is no bad for a humid rainy summer day. But if one owns ECLAT D'ARPEGE by LANVIN, it is not really necessary to own this one as well.

Summer Perfection :)
This is so moodlifting, so light and fresh and just enough sweet, but not only that; it lasts 8-9 hours on the skin. It is as close to perfection as you can get when it comes to Summer scent . Although it´s a fragrance you smell on a lot of people since its release 2002, I could not resist any longer.
I purchased a 50ml and je ne regrette rien. I´m happy as a puppy. :)

Maybe it used to be original????
Now that Dolce & Gabbana LIGHT BLUE has been exalted by The Curator as a masterpiece of olfactory art, I decided that I'd better give it another sniff. I have never owned a bottle, but apparently this fragrance is wildly popular, and its popularity is bound to surge once again, allowing it to rise like a marketing phoenix as a result of the current exhibition--coinciding, I might add, with high holiday shopping season--at the Museum of Arts and Design. Talk about an ingenious marketing scheme... Bravo to the masterminds at P&G!

I've seen several reviewers compare this composition to Bond no 9 SCENT OF PEACE, and I must say that in the opening seconds there is a definite overlap. However, once the bright and shiny SSRI opening has subsided, LIGHT BLUE--at least in its current formulation--dives immediately into a now tired iso-E-super plus ambroxan drydown in near ubiquity among men's colognes. So it is no longer original, if it once was. Was the trend begun by LIGHT BLUE? Or was LIGHT BLUE reformulated to conform with the trend? Qui peut savoir?

In the end, if this is what LIGHT BLUE once was, then I don't believe that I missed out on a great fragrance. If this is only what LIGHT BLUE has become, then I must say that it is misleading to vaunt this current version as a masterpiece of anything but marketing.

Sculpted from summer...
Yeah, right...Here comes another gimmick for those who never had the chance to smell the titanesses of the '80s and early '90s in all their might and splendour, D&G Red included.
Being one of the very few fragrances that I succeeded to reproduce to a tee, with even greater sillage and longevity, renders it no epitome of sophistication or complexity. And for me these two adjectives are conterminous but not undifferentiated. Having just a handful of notes and be sold by the millions, Light Blue is the perfect embodiment of what I despise the most when it comes to fragrances.
But you know what? Who cares? I LOVE the damn thing! I can't explain how or why, but I love it!
It's a happy cloud of carefreeness surrounding the visions of a much dreamt summer vacation, where one is slowly turning to a bronze statue under the Mediterranean sun.
It's a flirty mood carried by the wings of the seagulls following a ship heading for an Aegean island.
It's the liberating feelings of a woman standing over a seaside cliff, with her hair waving in the sea breeze, pondering over whether to succumb to the impulse of diving in the welcoming waves below, be cleansed from every mortal onerous strain and emerge a goddess.
After all, who needs a gazillion of notes to take her in a feelgood universe?
Who needs sophistication and complexity when a sandy beach and a shared apple are all that's needed to unravel the mysteries of falling in love?
Who needs high-priced and pretentious garments when an azure tattered pareo blends her with the sea and sky that gave birth to her?
Who needs to smell like any artsy exotic ingredient when she can smell like lemons?
My gothic heart may always long for perfumes reminiscing of thunderstorms and candle lit rooms during freezing winters, but never seems to learn by its mistakes. It's always beguiled by the thought that sprightliness under clear sunny skies is for fools. Its the second time that D&G has proven me wrong. It's time I reconsidered...

Energetic citrus
About 2 months ago I made a list of all the best-selling fragrances around the globe and made it my duty to try them all. Light Blue was on this list.

I would love to have had a picture taken the moment I sniffed this for the very first time. I think I was in utter disbelief as to how people loved this perfume. All I got from this fragrance was a strong, sour burst of lemon. I usually associate lemon scents to detergents and cleaners around my home.

This was in no way a pretty or feminine fragrance. I have Moschino Funny! which is slightly similar, but more floral and much lighter. I consider Funny! a better alternative to Light Blue. I will however add that men seem to love this fragrance, even though they agree with me when I say it's strong and somewhat sour.

Reflecting back on this review in 2016: I still don't enjoy this fragrance enough to add it to my collection, however I have since met many people that wear this fragrance on a regular basis. Light Blue tends to smell better on people with the right skin chemistry. My best friend for example wears this fragrance beautifully, in fact it's her signature. It smells refreshing and crisp on her skin, however on me it still gives off very masculine vibes with a hint of pencil shavings.

Where does the sweet-floral come from when it should smell fruity?! I do not smell any fruits, but a really persistent jasmine,unfortunately

This scent smells of....air and sky! Quite synthetic, it's the typical "blue essence". I owned it but it wasn't my cup of tea. Good sillage
