Which is better? I have to say that Eau Intense won me over with the great cool and refreshing aroma. I really like the juniper addition here, it gives Eau Intense an amazing level of freshness, that matches up well with the frozen grapefruit ingredient. But, it is one nice distinction that I get and really one of the things that sold me on this flanker when I first tried it. You pick up aquatic elements of sea and pool water.ĭon’t worry, they aren’t heavy or overwhelming. It is slightly salty but not really oceanic, more like sitting by a hotel pool, while on an island.

The main difference from the original is the inclusion of an aquatic accord. In its place, I pick up a light juniper note. The grapefruit is a ‘frozen’ one, so, there is a great chilled vibe coming from the cologne and the pepper is absent from this version. This provides a smoked wood scent, that gently sits in the background.Įau Intense, is similar to the original in that it starts with grapefruit and mandarin orange, to give that citrus scent. It is super bright and summery, with added spice provided by pepper, and an herbal aroma of rosemary.Īfter 10 minutes, the citrus is bolstered by some base notes, of incense and rosewood. Light Blue opens up with a trio of citrus fruits led by bergamot and grapefruit, with a bit of mandarin orange.

Notes include: mandarin, frozen grapefruit, juniper, aquatic accord, amber woods, muskĬlick here to try: Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Intense Eau de Parfum Spray for Men, 1.6 Ounce $125.Notes include: bergamot, grapefruit, mandarin orange, pepper, oak moss, juniper, musk, rosemary, rosewood, incenseĬlick here to try: Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Eau de Toilette Spray for Men, 6.7 Ounce Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Intense 3.3 fl.I would estimate that 4-5 applications of Light Blue Intense should suffice. A gentleman will enjoy moderate to long longevity, as the spicy woody tones are robust and full. Eschewing pretension, Light Blue Intense affords a touch of sophistication that should be befitting of any dapper gentleman.If you choose otherwise, please be advised that its scent will probably be greatly magnified if the environment is warm or hot. Because of its intensity, I would recommend Light Blue Intense be saved for cooler temperatures. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Intense is at its best when properly deployed for early to late evening occasions.I applied too much on one occasion and later in the day, it was a little overbearing on the senses. However, moderate applications are recommended. The base notes are surely pronounced, but not obnoxious. The fragrant finish is slightly heavy with deep wood flavors.The fragrance definitely slows down before regaining momentum during the latter end of its notes. The progression toward the heart of the fragrance reveals a fresh and light personality.The introduction is a playful balance of bitter and sweet as the dry-down is mellow and smooth. Immediately, a gentleman will recognize that Light Blue Intense is definitely stronger than its predecessor. A lively commencement of notes begin with a foundation rooted in sharp tones of citrus.The delicately curved bottle is standard as most cologne bottles are presented. Short, stout, and dense the transparent light blue flacon houses the selected scent topped by a powder blue cap. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Intense arrives in the same bottle as Light Blue Beauty of Capri – unadorned and simple.

Boasting a robust melody of aromatic notes, coupled with a sustained, mildly pungent presence, Light Blue Intense should be in your rotation of cologne. For more than a few months now, Light Blue Intense has quietly become my preferred cologne of choice. Intimately introduced to Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue a little over a year ago, I was pleasantly surprised when afforded the opportunity to sample the Intense version of the previous offering.

Nevertheless, with the holiday season officially underway, I determined that there was not a better time to share my thoughts on Dolce & Gabbana’s aromatic offering Light Blue Intense.
