Description
Dolce & Gabbana launches its annual limited editions for summer 2016 of the famous fragrances Light Blue from 2001 and Light Blue Pour Homme from 2007. The new citrusy – fresh scents are named Light Blue Love in Capri and Light Blue Pour Homme Beauty of Capri, inspired by the summer atmosphere at the Italian island of Capri.
Light Blue Pour Homme Beauty of Capri evokes the natural beauty and luxury of the island, such as the shimmering rocks along the coast line and the green forest landscape by the sea. It opens with a citrus character of Sicilian bergamot and a brusque citron. Notes of bitter orange leaf in the heart are enriched with a base of cedar and vetiver.
It is available as a 40, 75 and 125 ml Eau de Toilette.

This is a very pleasant warm-weather fresh scent, but in presentation it is fairly typical of the citrus aromatic group.
You can still tell the ingredients are of good quality, and the yuzu is definitely identifiable (the main reason I got this tester over the original scent), and the cedar is very noticeable on the drydown, but if you already have a lot of citrus freshies don’t go out of your way to grab this unless you are a Light Blue flanker completionist.
If you are just building your collection and are still looking for a flexible, light citrus proto-aquatic (for those like me who don’t like actual aquatic notes) for warm weather – or a very nice clean work scent year-round – this one can do the job admirably.
If you already have a moderate collection, you probably already have at least one bottle of something that does everything that this does.

D&G really need to stop with all the flankers. As they are all generic and boring smelling fragrances. D&G Pour Homme and Light Blue are the best composed releases from the series.

I got this as a gift, doesn’t project much on my skin. Very tame and subtle fragrance, nothing that makes you go WOW but just a generally nice smelling fragrance. Also very easy to wear in the summer days.

Nice one! Very similar to Versace Pour Homme. Very easy to stand out of the crowed, since sugary scents are the most popular choice these days.
Versatile, for guys who don’t want to have one too many perfume, this one is all you need. It suits office, gym and dates. Maybe slightly weak for cold winter, but definitely great for spring and summer.

This, somehow for me, is like the inferior version of Swimming in Lipari.
Smell wise it is pretty similar but it lacks the aggressiveness factor that I like so much about the Lipari version. This could be due to the lack of ambergis.
However the cedar and vetiver combination makes it still a winner in the summer time. I might be wrong but to my nose this version also contains some spice like rosemary. A smell of papyrus peeks through as well.
To sum it up. If you already have one of the other Light blue versions you can pass on this easily but if you don’t you will be glad to add this to your collection as a summer hit.

It’s alright. Subtle, its got citrus and is also a bit grassy, which I kind of like. Overall, not bad, but forgettable.

BIGGGG NOPE. Unoriginal, boring, weak scent.
Come the f**k on D&G, come up with something original.. I had high hopes for this flanker but its literal scented water.

It does remind me of last years lipari,
but this one is less fresh and not as
salty, i prefere lipari over this one tho.
Still a great fragrance that last for a while.

It really just seems like a less pleasant, synthetic smelling Swimming in Lipari. Nothing notably unique about this flanker.

For one, I am a fan of these flankers. Each of the last couple of years’ editions have smelled unique–especially Swimming in Lipari. I don’t love the original Light Blue, but I do look forward to these variations on the theme.
