I think the amber wood note, can turn some folks off from it, and is indeed bothersome at times.Īlthough, I still think it is the better option between them, even if I can easily wear both colognes. I loved it, then couldn’t stand it for a while, and now it’s grown on me once again. I’ve actually gone back and forth with Eau Intense, over the past year. I could wear either of these colognes, but I’d choose Light Blue Eau Intense first. Plus, there is juniper and woody notes, which just add to the overall freshness and appeal. It’s still fresh, but smoother, and has a cold crispness to it, which the original just doesn’t.
It’s just better in pretty much every way. However, I think they took what was good about the original, and amplified it for Eau Intense.ĭolce managed to surpass their creation with Eau Intense.
Doesn’t have the same aquatic style as Eau Intense, though it evokes, those kind of summertime feelings. Light Blue Pour Homme is a bit drier, has a spicier profile, but with that same great citrus top. It is very fresh, clean, versatile, and is a good starter fragrance for guys. I have to say, that I do actually enjoy Light Blue quite a bit. Eau Intense just hangs around for another hour or so. Actually, for the price you can get these at and their style (citrus aquatics), the longevity is really good for either. Yes, it’s better, but it isn’t an overwhelming advantage. Update: Newer bottles of the original seem to be more in that 6-7 hour range for me. The original will last 6-8 hours on my skin, while Eau Intense, lasts about 9. However, it’s not that much of an advantage. You’d think that Eau Intense really blows the original out of the water, in terms of how long it lasts. Most of the wear, will be firmly in that moderate camp. Though, Eau Intense doesn’t keep the power for the duration.
It can indeed be quite bold up top, so, you don’t need to spray all that much for it to be effective. The original isn’t weak, it’s more moderate, but obviously doesn’t hit the heights of an intense version.Įau Intense starts off strong and then becomes more of a moderate, as it wears on. The sillage is pretty powerful for a citrusy summertime cologne, which is really nice. Although, I do like that one, also.Įau Intense is designed to be stronger and it is. Add to that, the nice aquatic scent and the lack of pepper, and I simply enjoy it more than the original. 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 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
