A more sophisticated alternative to Azzaro Chrome, Light Blue is also a contemporary approach to popular aquatics like Nautica Voyage and Davidoff Cool Water. Although there are many fans of the other fragrances, they are a little dated in comparison. Projection wise, Eau Intense lives up to the name. 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. Update: To me, this is still the best of the Light Blue Pour Homme line. The more recent releases have given it a run for the top spot, but Eau Intense just does everything better in aggregate. As it dries down, more amberwood and musk, come out more and solidify the base of Eau Intense. However, the grapefruit, juniper, and aquatic notes dominate the composition throughout. It also has better strength and staying power. I can recommend and it is a good inoffensive scent for guys who want a fragrance to cover many bases with one bottle.
The opening of Eau Intense starts off quite similar to the original, in many ways, but also as a standalone fragrance. The grapefruit and mandarin are still there, this time without the bergamot note, but the grapefruit is in a ‘frozen’ state.
PRIVATE PRESCRIPTION PRICE
Though, in it’s most basic form, it is best used on a warmer day. It’s refreshing, and one that I have been loving to wear casually, during this summer. You can probably guess that Light Blue is a distinctively summertime fragrance. It’s ideal for hot weather but you could probably wear it as well during the late springtime as well. 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.
Yes, the aquatic accord creates distinction, but the juniper really stands out to my nose. I like the grapefruit and mandarin, in the start, and they feel well blended. Otherwise, it is often praised for its crisp and refined and summer notes. It tends to still be quite popular among a younger crowd despite having been released 13 years ago. People in their 20s continue to gravitate to it. Those in their 30s, were those ages when it was released and continue to wear it now. One big difference, is the aquatic accord that is present in Eau Intense. It is slightly salty, but much less like an oceanic note, and more of like sitting by a pool with a slight chlorination. The aquatic accord and juniper really add a fresher summer vibe. Not the same spiciness and woods as the original Light Blue has. It is indeed very inoffensive, very clean, which makes it a great professional fragrance, which we’ll discuss in the next section.Overall, do I like Light Blue Eau Intense? I actually like it a lot for a summer scent. It is really great while being utterly simple and easy to love. Not to say that it smells strongly like pool water, but there is a familiar hint of that on a summer’s day. This version is chilled and refreshing and I really enjoy that aspect of the cologne. However, I have heard through other reviewers that the intense version lasts significantly longer. The sillage, though, while it does last, is very good. It leaves the wearer with an excellent trail behind them. I am digging it more than the original Light Blue, as D&G took what was working with that, and then made it better. I like how cold and smooth this one feels versus the spicier original. Seasonally, once again it is mainly for spring/summer, but like the original it can be worn year round without any issue. It’s got that same versatility. It can be worn casually or at the office or out on a date. It’s not really limited and is a good all around cologne.
