I tried Lanvin Eclat d’Arpège (it is so popular here in the tropical country I live in) and I thought its not worth it. It's pleasant but I find it too common! I found out about A&F Authentic here in Fragrantica. The reviews convinced me to blind buy this. Oh wow. I get why it is being compared to Lanvin and DG Light Blue. It has to be the musky florals of Lanvin and the citrus woody notes of Light Blue!

Bought this last year and it was an instant love. It's such a cheerful, uplifting smell. Fruity floral and sweet without being cloying. It's light but projects a lot in the first hour. But for me, after one hour, it's just..gone. I wish it had more longevity! I now have 70% of the juice left and if it wasn't something my dad bought for me, I would have just sold it off. 😔
This is a light, fruity/floral scent, perfect for summer. Ive gotten multiple compliments on this, smells amazing. I think its very underrated, and the price is good and affordable I would say. I like the magnetic bottle cap, the bottle itself is very classy and elegant (a bit basic). This is a summer/spring basic, but sadly doesnt last that long on my skin.
I love this one, but it unfortunately doesn't stay on my skin, it lasts only av few minutes, then I have to sniff my wrist to smell something, really dissapointing! Yesterday I tried to spray like 6-7 different places, but nope... Possibly mismatch with my skin or something, this could have been a keeper, if it'll only last a bit longer...
The suggestions above are all over the show and while I do get a bit of DG LB in the aquatic sense, its not as citrusy due to that pear top note but I can def see the vision. I have a pear inc tester and I'd say that's much closer. This opens fruity with that same pear but doesn't settle as musky on the dry down.
