lighter aquatic aromachem scent that goes through some pepper, and herbs in the middle before heading into a dry base. Comparisons to Nautica's structure end here however, as Nautica is more of a fougère with aquatic elements stapled on, while Light Blue Pour Homme is just a um. Instead, this scent opens rather like the original Nautica (1992), with bergamot, a salty sea note, some juniper, and mandarin, pretty simple and not entirely a "saturated blue".
#REVIEWS ON DOLCE AND GABBANA LIGHT BLUE PERFUME FULL#
I'd say the success of this is due more to it's steamy ocean side ads full of almost-nudes and expected bait-and-switchout for a rather safe and unsexy office aquatic which doesn't do those ads any justice but can make guys who buy into the ads think they're turning folks on as they walk past smelling like dish soap.ĭolce & Gabanna Light Blue Pour Homme doesn't steep itself in as much of the heavy mint and sweet dryer dry sheets aura like a lot of it's competition from the day, staying away from heavy laundry musks and sweet citruses. Dolce & Gabanna hired Alberto Morillas for the task of crafting the scent, as he us known for his many by-the-book mainstream creations that sort of peg him as the David Foster of perfumers, and he delivered yet another dialed-in mainstream generalist as a result. Do I like Light Blue Pour Homme? Well, not so much, but I don't hate it.
The second wave of aquatics really got it's kickstart with Polo Blue (2002), Bvlgari Aqva (2005), Versace Man Eau Fraîche (2006), Nautica Blue (2006) and the like, so what better way to get back in the thick of things than to jump on a steamrolling new trend? Not every designer house can be leaders like Chanel or Dior, so when in doubt, innovate on a popular conventional theme. From a business standpoint, I can see a need for a release like Dolce & Gabanna Light Blue Pour Homme (2007). Dolce & Gabanna had a huge hit in the masculine sector with their original Pour Homme (1994), but after that, their masculine follow-up offerings like By man (1997) or Masculine (1999) were bizarrely gaudy, loud and obtuse upon arrival, being discontinued fairly quickly after release, and outside the cult followings or steep prices they command for collectors, did nothing to further market penetration.
