It can be pretty synthetic smelling, at times. That’s probably the main drawback with this one. The dry down, can be fairly musky and has a dose of amberwood, which some might not like. I can recommend and it is a good inoffensive scent for guys who want a fragrance to cover many bases with one bottle. It also has better strength and staying power. I like how cold and smooth this one feels versus the spicier original. I am digging it more than the original Light Blue, as D&G took what was working with that, and then made it better. It is really great while being utterly simple and easy to love. Overall, do I like Light Blue Eau Intense? I actually like it a lot for a summer scent. It’s been occupying the same role that Eternity Aqua has, for me. So, while it has versatility, I’m going to stick to daily wearing it during spring/summer. It’s refreshing, and one that I have been loving to wear casually, during this summer. Though, in it’s most basic form, it is best used on a warmer day. Plus, there are better options for romantic wear, but it can cover plenty of bases otherwise.
Now, I probably wouldn’t make it a go to for more formal occasions or be a daily office wear. It’s not really limited and is a good all around cologne. It can be worn casually or at the office or out on a date. Seasonally, once again it is mainly for spring/summer, but like the original it can be worn year round without any issue. It not only outlasts them all, it has more consistent sillage, in the process. It’s better than all of the other Light Blue Pour Homme fragrances, in terms of performance. Still, I really dig how this fragrance performs on my skin.
#Light blue intense skin
It’s not a skin scent, at that point, but feels much lighter and airy. The longevity is also very good, I get about 9 hours of solid wear with it on my skin, but on an old t-shirt it kept right on going along.įor me, the sillage quiets down after an hour or two. The sillage is strong for this type of fragrance, it’s not insane or anything, but it’ll be noticeable in the 4-6 feet range around you. Projection wise, Eau Intense lives up to the name. I like the grapefruit and mandarin, in the start, and they feel well blended.
Yes, the aquatic accord creates distinction, but the juniper really stands out to my nose. Everything is geared toward being super fresh, intense, while still being usable for when it gets hot. To me, the strength of the juniper and the woody notes really help to separate this version from the original.
Nonetheless, the citrus does tamper down a bit towards the end, and the marine notes are able to smell much more oceanic. It’s a fairly linear and simplistic scent, which is to be expected for a summery aquatic such as this. However, the grapefruit, juniper, and aquatic notes dominate the composition throughout. More of a blend of juniper and the emerging musk, stemming from the base of the composition.Īs it dries down, more amberwood and musk, come out more and solidify the base of Eau Intense. There is a feeling of slight spiciness, but not the same sharp pepper, as found in Light Blue Pour Homme. It becomes heightened, and when paired with the citrus notes, creates a clean and refreshing scent. I think that it’s the way the juniper berries super fresh aroma, is interacting with the aquatic accord. This version is chilled and refreshing and I really enjoy that aspect of the cologne. Not to say that it smells strongly like pool water, but there is a familiar hint of that on a summer’s day. It is slightly salty, but much less like an oceanic note, and more of like sitting by a pool with a slight chlorination. One big difference, is the aquatic accord that is present in Eau Intense. Also, while the original had a peppery note, it is absent here and in the opening I pick up more of the juniper note instead. The grapefruit and mandarin are still there, this time without the bergamot note, but the grapefruit is in a ‘frozen’ state. The opening of Eau Intense starts off quite similar to the original, in many ways, but also as a standalone fragrance. Notes include: mandarin, frozen grapefruit, juniper, aquatic accord, amber woods, muskĬlick here to try: Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Intense Eau de Parfum Spray for Men, 1.6 Ounce What Does Light Blue Eau Intense Smell Like? 0.1 What Does Light Blue Eau Intense Smell Like?.
