Worth a try

The review

Worth a try. That is where Light Blue lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Light Blue Pour Homme.

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

At $32 per 100ml it costs 67% less than Light Blue Pour Homme — the cheapest of 5 twins we can price.

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