Arriving at the base notes, and I will tell you, that grapefruit is still hanging on for dear life.Almost attractive enough to justify a purchase to showcase on a shelf at home. Quiet and minimalistic, the soft turquoise hue, however, is very attractive. The flask presentation – I probably should have started with this first – is similar to the other Light Blue flankers from the collection.As for violet leaf – what violet leaf? Sure, the ozonic notes lend an airy, somewhat fresh texture to the middle of the cologne, but alas, the grapefruit is king here and will not be dethroned. Now, addressing the heart of the matter, yes, more sour grapefruit.Employed as a fragrance, the vibe is just too strong for me. Neither taste nor smell, it is not for me. However, I am not a huge fan of grapefruit. The grapefruit is tart and rightly robust. And for that, I have to extend due credit to Dolce & Gabbana. There is no mistake, the smell of grapefruit will aggressively grab you because of its authenticity – absolutely no synthetic feel detected here. And as an aromatic companion, the bergamot effectively bolsters the top notes’ pungency. Now, if you are a distinguished gentleman that adores the bitter aroma of grapefruit, prepare to be fully engulfed by its overwhelming magnitude. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Forever explodes with an assertive citrusy introduction of grapefruit and bergamot.Detailed below, I will tell you why I decided to roll with another brand fragrance. She noted this Light Blue flanker was not as popular as others from the past. The saleswoman wholeheartedly agreed with my decision. Instead, I departed with Givenchy Gentleman tucked away in my shopping bag. Spoiler alert: I did not pull the proverbial trigger. However, during a casual visit to the shopping mall, I spotted the new 2021 release of their shelves. Given my previous experiences with the Light Blue collection, my intentions were to blind buy a bottle. I have always welcomed a Dolce & Gabbana release, and this year was no different as I was excited about putting my nose on the latest – Light Blue Forever. Subsequently, a plethora of Light Blue iterations (flankers) followed with periodic releases throughout the years. Now, one of my favorite men’s fragrances, Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue, was launched 14 years ago in 2007. Generally, they were easy to wear and inoffensive to the surrounding public.

The fragrances that I have experienced were always pleasant and smelled fantastic. Historically, I have long held an ardent appreciation for designer fragrances released from luxury Italian house Dolce & Gabbana.
