Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Sun Pour Femme

Every Summer I search high and low for a new and signature fragrance for the warmer weather and truthfully don't get much further than Estée Lauder Bronze goddess (there was that Summer I dabbled with Tom Ford but that was a bold and expensive move). As much as I love Bronze Goddess and will more than likely purchase a bottle come June, I constantly crave the new and dare I say something that isn't the same as what everyone else is wearing. Admittedly I did consider keeping Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Sun Pour Femme entirely to myself like some kind of sordid secret but that would be a disservice to the beauty community and this wonderfully sunny scent.

Let's skip the small talk in regards to the packaging; the box has had a make-over, featuring the signature D&G lemon print and the bottle has gold and white accents, opposed to the original blue and silver colourway. What I'm trying to say is, as nice as the box and bottle may be, all that really counts here is the juice and my goodness what a sunny treat that has turned out to be.

Yes Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Sun Eau de Toilette does have hints of the original and best selling fragrance (do you recall when absolutely everyone wore this zesty scent?) but this time the somewhat overzealous citrus note has been parred back and replaced with more "milky" accents. As such it very much feels like a brand new fragrance, no lazy rose notes or pink packaging, this has been completely rethought and reworked and is firmly on its way to cementing itself as the scent of Summer 2019.

I hate to say it but yes, if you do enjoy Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess, then you will more than likely lap up Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Sun Eau de Toilette; they share the same light, fresh feeling and combine similar notes of coconut and vanilla. I'd also draw comparisons to the super pricey Tom Ford Eau de Soleil Blanc but would go as far as saying the Dolce & Gabbana version wears far longer on the skin. 

With top notes of: apple, coconut and lemon, if ever a scent could be deemed beach worthy this is. To add a creamy element and of course for prolonged wear the base notes are far less "punchy" and consist of cedar, vanilla and white musk. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Sun Pour Femme is all you could possibly want from a seasonal fragrance and more.
