A Fresh and Relaxing Cloud of Flirtation
I was looking to gift a fragrance for my older sister, and she hinted at wanting a fragrance for the summer. With that in mind, I tested a few fragrances out with a friend and came across Light Blue at a Sephora in New York City.
To say that Light Blue is a captivating fragrance is an understatement.
----
The overall vibe that I get from Light Blue is of a flirtatious woman that is carefree and radiates positive energy.
Light Blue whisks you off away to a beach in the Mediterranean as it makes the first move with a citrusy and fresh opening, combining citron, apple, and bluebell.
As the citrus dries down, the florals of jasmine and rose mid notes combine with the amber, musk, and cedarwood base notes to add a hint of powder while remaining fresh. This creates a fragrance that is soft and leans more towards the feminine side — but not decisively so.
Light Blue is like a lady making the first move to announce her presence softly. Afterward, she does not seduce you in front of everyone. Instead, she is calm and alluring with just a smile and a wink, while waiting to see how her target reacts.
----
Also, this is a perfume created by Olivier Cresp, the same person who had his nose behind Kenzo Amour—another fragrance I reviewed and liked overall (despite my personal preferences).
He is also a part of several notable fragrances, including Mugler's Angel, YSL's Black Opium, and Givenchy's Gentleman.
----
In terms of overall performance, Light Blue performs at the level one would expect for a fresh fragrance.
Sillage and Projection are about typical. Light Blue will leave a soft trail that people will where that smell is coming from. However, do not expect to walk in a bar or club and have everyone notice the fragrance unless you somehow sprayed a significant amount of the bottle on you.
Expect Light Blue to last about six hours. It is good enough to get through most social situations like work, the gym, or a date with no difficulty. However, do not expect the fragrance to have the longevity to last from sunrise to midnight.
----
Light Blue is a versatile daily fragrance that a person can wear in any social situation without thinking too hard about it during the late spring and summer.
While it is excellent as an evening or date fragrance, Light Blue does the best work best as an office or leisure scent in the summer. The fragrance offends no one in the office and has a slight calming effect that enhances calmness, which is great whether a person is writing a 20-page report or sipping a daiquiri on the beach.
That said, Light Blue is borderline unserviceable in the cold winter months. Unless a location has nice heat indoors, using it in the winter requires heavy spraying to be slightly noticeable.
----
Overall, Light Blue is a soft and enjoyable fragrance for both the wearer and people who notice the scent. It also helps that the price is reasonable for a designer brand such as Dolce and Gabanna.
That said, if a person is looking for a fragrance that tells the world that she is in charge and not to mess with her, or a fragrance that works all day and night in one shot, Light Blue would be a massive disappointment.
However, Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue perfectly blends carefree and flirtatiousness. This is an ideal fragrance for a person of any age during spring or summer, whether in the office, lounging on the beach, or on a date with a significant other.
