Light Blue Italian Zest Pour Homme by Dolce&Gabbana
This is a galant effort, I have to give it some credit. I thought this kind of thing to be a waste of time, the original light blue was ultimately forgettable but didn’t offend me in any way. This zest version is actually okay because, although not groundbreaking in any regard, it knows what it is and doesn’t have any of that generic and despicably, mixed up cynicism of many second rate and redundant flankers. The grapefruit, lemon and mandarin in here are very pleasant in the opening and the base is a light, musky powder poof! I mean it’s no Chanel Allure homme edition Blanc but it’s very wearable and surprisingly long lasting for such a subtle scent. I think I’m going soft in my old age as historically, this scent would’ve got the usual Houdini scalding, but I’m in a good place and really digging on citrus and fresh fragrances at the moment, so this gets off easy. It’s okay by me. What I don’t like is the cheapness of the bottle. Is it me or does the font and all that writing on the bottle look a bit tacky? Not to mention the puke yellow stopper.
