Light Blue Love Is Love Tester

The initial opening is a semi-sweet Apple scent with an intense citrus overtone. 15 Min - The scent has transitioned from a semi-sweet citrus to a more pungent and sour citrus scent. I am also getting some of the herbal undertones from the Rosemary note. 30 Min - I am still getting that pungent citrus scent, but the intensity has settled down some. I am also still getting the herbal tones but with a slight spiciness to them. 60 Min - I am styarting to pick up a subtle sweetness that is creamy and also that of a well blended Amber and Vanilla. I am still getting some of of the Rosemary note, but also picking up a slight musky scent. Dry Down: The dry down of this fragrance is a light Amber and Vanilla scent with undertones of a light musk and citrus. Performance: Projection of this fragrance is Good with the frangrance creating a scent bubble of about 2 feet for over 2+ hours. The sillage is also Good with a scent trail of about 2+ feet for almost 3 hours as well. Longevity on my skin is Good with the fragrance lasting on my skin about 6 to 7 hours, and becoming a skin scent at about 3 hours. My rating on this fragrance is a 7 out of 10.

I was expecting this fragrance to be way sweeter from what the reviews were saying. Don’t get me wrong I still love it, but it’s just not as sweet as I thought it would be. On my skin, its quite heavy on the citrus and the rosemary for most of the wear time, making it quite fresh, but kinda sweet & tangy, like a shower gel type of smell (which I do love). I don’t get the pleasant apple gelato and sweet vanilla smell until 2-3 hours later and even then it’s barely there because of its lasting power. It does get a bit more feminine around this time, which I don’t mind considering I wear a lot of feminine or unisex fragrances often. I find it to be a combination of fresh, green and sweet, which is actually a nice and pleasant combo. I bought this recently and have wore it every day since. This could be my main fragrance that I’ll use in the spring or summer when it’s too warm to wear a strong, sweet fragrance like the majority of my collection. I honestly do recommend this to anyone who loves a fresh but sweet (with a hint of green) fragrance. Try it before you buy it though, as I do see here some people do not like the smell of this.

My big takeaway from LBLIL is the ice-creaminess in the middle, which emerges almost immediately as a top note. Even the citrus on the top, to my nose, is mild, tempered by the sweet creaminess, and not classically fresh and summery. For these reasons, I think this would make a great young persons' frag at any time of day, and even a good nighttime socializing frag for grown-ups. The creamy sweetness very much motors through at all times. Interestingly, because this isn't a freshie, performance is actually quite durable. You may want to supplement your sprays a bit later in the day but this frag by no means disappears the way many seasonal options do.

Blind purchased this despite the frag community's feelings toward this fragrance. Wearing it for the first time today and its honestly not as bad on my skin as some would make it out to be. Its bright, citrusy, sweet, creamy with a soft fresh spicy/herbal undertone. Applied around 8 sprays before leaving for work and got 2 unsolicited compliments 6 hrs into the wearing. This may be my go-to dumb reach for the rest of the summer. Pretty easy, inoffensive fragrance thats perfect for an office setting or just running errands. 8/10

Today I tested LB Love is love in the local shop. I really enjoyed it, however I think this is very similar to Light Blue forever. On my skin the grapefruit note is prominent, later 1-3 hours becomes sweeter and not that raw grapfruit. Lasting is enough good in 26 celcius and the sillage is not bad either. I dont find it too masculine, more like an unisex frag, so I recommend to everyone :)
