Light Blue Italian Love Tester

Tried this today and I am absolutely obsessed. I'm a soleil blanc lover and love my summery scents. This is it. This is a citrusy fragrance but has a little bit of a coconut kick. My man loved it too. I love it a lot better than the original light blue but it's special in that it has the original light blue dna but with a smoother coconut kick and a aldehydic summery vibe. It's very gorgeous. Finally I found a cirtusy scent that I love because light blue smells a little too strong and of cleaning product to me. I know others love it but for me it was a bit too strong in citrus. This is just perfect and has the smoothness and although coconut isn't in the notes I smell something like it. So beautiful, citrusy, fresh and delicious. I am positive the good review will start rolling in. It should be a permanent I hope for Dolce! It must be the musk mallow with the lemon and apple, and the jasmine sambac and rose play with the sweetness with cedar (strongest base note and always sexy in my opinion) followed by amber, musk and then sandalwood for a woody sexy base. European holiday worthy! I can see someone enjoying the sun and summer in Italy, smelling fresh and looking healthy, gorgeous and sunkissed! A very happy, fresh but sexy and playful scent.

I have a well curated collection of niche and expensive fragrances, but this little designer flanker is one of my favorites for summer. I love love a good fruity floral, and this one is bright, sunshiny lemon on the tree--you get a bit of wood and rind. Then crisp, sweet green apple and marshmellow sugar. It's a balanced concoction of fizzy citrus, fruit and musky sweetness that makes this one just a nice mood lifter, a little summer umbrella cocktail. As a side note--there's something beachy and carribean about this, so if you like tropical frags, this one leans a bit more apple, but the vacation vibe is there and sometimes I swear I detect coconut. Projection is good, lasting about half a day on my skin (but you'll be happy to respray).

I’m not really a fresh perfume kind of person, but I actually don’t mind this one. Unlike the original Light Blue that’s reminiscent of toilet cleaner, this flanker acknowledges it’s past mistakes. The lemon note is prominent, but not in the way you would assume. Instead of the tangy and tart pulp, it’s actually the rind you smell; a little powdery and laid-back. I don’t really get much rose, but the jasmine is pretty noticeable. The cedar and sandalwood in the base almost tickle the nose. It gives off an effortlessly fresh vibe, and not a ‘I just sprayed this perfume instead of showering’ kind of fresh. Imagine this fragrance as being transparent, subdued, and enhancing rather than big, bold, and bright and you’ll appreciate it more.

It's a lovely lemon meringue pie kinda smell. Not a gourmandy 'fun' lemon meringue pie like, maybe, 4160 Tuesday's Lemon Sherbet (which I'm not knocking, I love that too) or a TAKE ME SERIOUSLY citrus like Un Jardin sur le Nil (also a fave), but a true 'mom grating lemon zest to make the curd' citrus with some rounded savourysweet in the woods and amber. Not, like, PASTRY-pastry, but the essence of the balance of pastry against lemon and meringue. And, for me, not a trace of toilet cleaner. Can't stop sniffing myself. I can tell it's not got much longevity - already fading after a quick spritz, but I'd be happy to have a full bottle of this. Gorgeous stuff.

More musky and ambery, a bit lemony, this is just great for summer, nature, beach, and day and night out, very crisp, Mediterranean, airy, and a bit decadent, with decent 4-5 hours longevity, than become skin scent, but stays for 2-3 hours more, and on hair longer, until you wash it off. Better than current OG and Light Blue SUN, which is now my third favorite from LB line. The Intense is the best, if you like deeper and less feminine aspects of it, which I do, but Italian Love also serves me well, it's mood lifter.
