The recent releases—Forever and Italian Love—were some of my favorites. They stood out with their raw grapefruit-dominant scent and distinct summer vibes. But Summer Vibes felt forgettable, and I gradually lost interest in the line.
Now, I decided to give it another shot. The opening was peppery, and I was about to pass on it—but I kept smelling, and it went through an interesting development. It started to turn sweeter, and then I got a fruity vibe that really threw me off because I never associated this line with fruity notes.
The fig note here isn’t exactly like Philosykos. It’s more focused on the fruit rather than the leafy green aspects. I'd say maybe 25% of it is rounded out with patchouli, giving it some depth. It’s not your typical green fig scent—it leans more toward the juicy, ripe fig side.
I think I’m picking up some woods in the base, and maybe just a hint of something aquatic—not salty or seaweedy, just a touch of freshness. But if you're looking for a true aquatic, this won’t quite hit that mark.
After the opening, it stays pretty linear. I don’t think this one is as divisive as Forever or Italian Love—the scent is smooth, not overly citrusy, with a pleasant sweetness that feels natural. The performance is decent—it lingers, which is about what you'd expect for a scent like this.
It’s definitely geared toward spring and summer, but honestly, you could wear it year-round in casual settings—even in the office. It could work as a standalone scent. It’s quite different from the original Light Blue, and I really like how it deviates from the usual direction of the line. It also stands apart from the other flankers, and for me, it’s absolutely worth a test—and even a full bottle.
