The review

On paper, Light Blue is a strong bet if you want Light Blue for less.

Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Light Blue's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $23 it costs 85% less than Light Blue.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Value9.4
Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on sicilian lemon, green apple and cedar, turns to bamboo, jasmine and white rose, and settles into cedar, musk and amber. That is the brief Light Blue is working from.

Top

  • sicilian lemon
  • green apple
  • cedar

Heart

  • bamboo
  • jasmine
  • white rose

Base

  • cedar
  • musk
  • amber
Green apple and cedar over Sicilian lemon, the blueprint every fresh summer scent copies.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
