I am MIND BLOWN! All these years I've been seeing Light Blue ads everywhere and I've always assumed it was a straight up oceanic scent... and now you're telling me it's not? 😅 Feels so strange. Now I really must smell it!
I bought light blue original version when I just got into perfumery hobby a few months ago thanks to lock down. I blind bought a smaller bottle because “Jeremy fragrance” on TH-cam recommended it s be a great fragrance to use for workout / gym session. But maybe it’s just me ? I actually find it quite sharp and strong scent for sweaty workout ? I feel like if people around me would feel offended by the scent. I d rather wearing “chole eau de parfum” during a sweaty gym session because of its soft un-offensive scent . Great video as always
I love this range 🍋🌊 Lovely review and u look gorgeous in this blue top 🌹❤ And I like your eye make up there, your eyes just stand out, and eye colour going nice with your top 😍💕
Definitely my favorite summer perfume, Light blue is more fresh to me and actually i prefer the scent better than Eu Intense, but intese does last bit more, but is a bit more sweet. Love Panarea and sun.
Thanks Sophie ! I love Light Blue Intense, I think it does smell very aquatic, calming and peaceful (on me at least) , even though it"s a citrus perfume :)
I have had the original EDT and Intense versions in my collection since their releases (although I don't use them much anymore). I really enjoyed these when they were newer to me. I bought Italian Zest per Delicious Delights' Arlene suggestion, and it is not near as good as original EDT and Intense. It's missing the part of Light Blue that got me hooked back in the day. It wasn't a total bust blind buy though because my 8 year old son enjoys it and made it his summer scent for 2020. ❤
Ok wait a minute now. I think we all just need to stop for a moment to appreciate the sheer preciousness of a 8 year old child choosing for himself, not only a yearly signature scent, but also a seasonal one at that. I mean come on! How darling is he?!
The Mediterranean flower is bougainvillea glabra. :-) Thank you for the comprehensive review. Really like that you review a whole line. Have a lovely day!
But dang! I saw someone said in the comment section they weren’t aware of all the flankers and I was like nah I’ve seen them all and then you brought out the first flanker and I was like but when and where?!😂😂😂😂
Ahhh so funny you posted this i just ordered Light Blue Sun. Light Blue does not work for me personally but I love the scent so I thought I would try the flankers.
This is my go to very hot weather perfume. I recently discovered a dupe which smells exactly the same as light blue EDT. The dupe is la rive Donna. I think it last longer than light blue EDT
Great review! I wore Light Blue when I was in my teens, so not really looking for something that reminds me of being a teeny ;) But I found Escape To Panarea very different as well! I love the smell. I haven't bought it yet, still pondering on it if I should... I feel the dry down is similar to Prada La Femme edp. Which is also a great scent. ETP has this warmer scent to it, but still summery. Indeed great scent for day and night ;)
I thought that i had all flankers from Light Blue, as an admirator of this perfume! Conclusion: i need to search for them more! Kisses from a brazilian in Turkey!😂😘🇧🇷🇹🇷. Nice to meet u! New subscriber.😉
I’ve only had the original and love it. Sprayed too much one summer and almost got over it but I love citrus perfume so I went back to it. But i really want to get other from the range. Thank you for this great review. Whenever I need comparison of a range I always come to you 😍
@@ranamiray sun is wonderful, I can smell the dna of the original but it's more on the summer side. You can smell the conconut in it. Fantastic summer fragrance. You can blind buy it. I have no regrets :)
Thanks so much for this review. I have the original Light Blue and the Intense version. After watching your review I’m going to order Escape to Panarea. 🌺
I bought Light Blue and it was ok, not long lasting, but after seeing this video, I bought Light Blue Sun, and I like it much more!..I think it's the coconut like you described. Enjoy your videos....your describe the perfumes so well.
My favorite is escape to panarea, I finished two 100 ml bottles and there's only one drop left from the second which makes me sad. I have to re purchase it soon before it's all gone. Thanks for the lovely video, always adorable ;)
Want to try Light Blue Sun because of the coconut! Bought Light Blue escape to Panerea and love ! Of course I have the original light blue. On the subject of coconut just received Bronze Goddess eau fraiche! I love the scent except it is a skin scent and has to be reapplied frequently. Still in love with it. Just bought two purse sprays of Bronze Goddess eau de parfum to see if it has better lasting power. Am on a coconut kick apparently!
Thank you for the awesome review ❤ I had no idea they had so many flankers. I had only heard of 4 of them. Surprised they didn't advertise more on these flankers. I now have to get the others. Bless you! Appreciate your videos ❤🇺🇲🙏🌞😘
Love this perfume! It’s my favorite! I love the original version. I got the love is love but accidentally got the cologne version because I got it at Ross lol!
I've tried both the original and the intense and I wasn't impressed with either. I know an eau de toilette is not meant to last long, but the scent itself wasn't for me. It felt oddly cloying and too musky. It didn't read as fresh and summery on my skin. I sample the intense version and the sample paper stunk up my purse lol. It's just not for me.
Hi there how are you thanks so much for the review about the different light blue fragrances I didn't know each one smelled different I always thought they came out in different packages I really would like to purchase them now .because I always felt that the original light blue felt a little incomplete compared to the current fresh fragrances thanks
Great video Sophie. I don't buy Light Blue anymore used to wear it all the time but i am interested in the one that you like the best not sure if i can get it here in Canada possibly online. Look forward to all your videos.
The forever was recently on sale at Macy's. I love the original refreshing smell and typical hate strong florals but I am not a fan of Toilets. I hope the Forever is better!
Thank you Sophie! I live in AU and we don’t have any of the flankers - only just got the LB Sun here recently! Wonder if I can get them online? Thanks for another great review xx
Hi there could you please review the Tom Ford private blends fragrances please I'm really interested in the private blends Mandarino Portifino but not sure about the lasting power
QUESTION: First, love your videos! ❤ I used to wear the original Light Blue version back in 2005 so many years ago. I remember it lasting and I used to get so many compliments. I purchased it again this year and I am so disappointed as it does not last at all. By the time I leave my home to go to work the scent is gone. Do you know if they might have changed the formula whereby the long lasting effect is gone?
I’ve tried the Original, the intense and the Panarea one. I thought escape to Panarea was nice but had a plastic smell to me. The intense did not last on me at all 😩
Soki, I really love Light Blue, this video is amazing! If you had to choose, would you pick Light Blue Intense or an Issey Miyake? I have not tested de IM yet 😊
Hello, love your videos! I bought the light blue intense a few weeks ago and unfortunately, im not a fan of it :((( I really wanna like it as it is so highly raved about but it’s really not doing it for me :( . Would you recommend me to try the other flankers if i dont like the original intense version?
I had heard that the Italian Zest flanker smelled like a lemon tart with cream. I just ordered it and have been excitedly awaiting it's arrival. I didn't realize it had worse lasting power than the original, and now hearing this, I'm a little bummed. My skin eats the OG scent up almost as fast as I can reapply. Maybe I will order LB Sun. Does anyone know what the 2021 flanker is going to be yet?
This is the 2021 flanker. It’s much better for lasting th-cam.com/video/5gyUjASbpKg/w-d-xo.html but if you want a lemon tart vibe I recommend this th-cam.com/video/so59FUBHymI/w-d-xo.html
I found a cheap Sunset in Salina and I bought it, big mistake. It smells like a really expired sunscreen that's gone bad....suncreen, not nice like tanning oil. It was very unpleasant to me and I threw it out.
FYI D&G Light Blue Sun was released in 2019 and not a few years ago like you mentioned. Italian Zest came out in 2018 so maybe you got confused between the two?
I haven’t tried any off the light blue fragrances. I normally like sweet flower fruity smells. What would u recommand? It’s for summer perfume but not to lemony
dariuszexoxo thought I was the only one, I was crazy to try because of Jeremy and once I was in a department store I had the chance to try it and I did like it but it did last very little. I thought the price wasn’t worth buying the intense version when you can get the original on a much better price at Costco. If it really had a better lasting power I would be thinking about getting it but the price of the intense is not worth it.
I wear the original LB and I have love is love. LIL has become an absolute new fave of mine I've done half a bottle during lockdown! It smells like lemon and raspberry sorbet 😛😛
I love sun one but very poor performance and poor longevity. It disappears in hot 10 minutes. Not worth the hype. If women want to buy light blue collection, best to stick with light blue original.
Italian islands are not tropical islands. So that fragrance that you say it smells humid and tropical it is not meant to be so. Also Capri is as exclusive as Portofino. There is nothing tropical about italian beautiful islands
I am MIND BLOWN! All these years I've been seeing Light Blue ads everywhere and I've always assumed it was a straight up oceanic scent... and now you're telling me it's not? 😅 Feels so strange. Now I really must smell it!
Well....for some it smells aquatic. I tend to think it borderlines oceanic/citrus.
Haha same. I always lumped it in with Davidoff Cool Water until I finally tried the intense version.
Same! I find it actually quite citrus-y, like a gentler version of 4711
It's so nice that you put an Italy map and places so it could be clear what inspired designers.👏
The sun version was 2019. I bought it on the airport on my way to London, so every time I use it it reminds me of London
Light Blue is one of my top 3 favorite fragrances! I have gone through bottles of it and don’t ever plan on being without it 🥰
I bought light blue original version when I just got into perfumery hobby a few months ago thanks to lock down. I blind bought a smaller bottle because “Jeremy fragrance” on TH-cam recommended it s be a great fragrance to use for workout / gym session. But maybe it’s just me ?

Intense version is in my all time top five fragrance list 💫 Just love it 💝
I love this range 🍋🌊 Lovely review and u look gorgeous in this blue top 🌹❤ And I like your eye make up there, your eyes just stand out, and eye colour going nice with your top 😍💕
fyi the name of the climbing pink flower is called Bougainvillea. It's also common in southern california.
Definitely my favorite summer perfume, Light blue is more fresh to me and actually i prefer the scent better than Eu Intense, but intese does last bit more, but is a bit more sweet. Love Panarea and sun.
Is Light Blue Sun worth buying when already owning Light Blue Intense? Or are they too similar?
Thanks Sophie ! I love Light Blue Intense, I think it does smell very aquatic, calming and peaceful (on me at least) , even though it"s a citrus perfume :)
I ❤ LB Sun☀️, the 2019 flanker. But Love Is ❤ intrigues me, I wanna try it. 😍 thanks Sophie for a wonderful run down. 🤗🇰🇼

Being a huge light blue fan (both original and flankers) I would say there could not be a more accurate review, congratulations Sophie ❤️
But dang! I saw someone said in the comment section they weren’t aware of all the flankers and I was like nah I’ve seen them all and then you brought out the first flanker and I was like but when and where?!😂😂😂😂
Hehe
😂
You've sold me on Escape to Panarea.
Hello.The magenta flower called boucamviglia and it has no parfume at all only the super vibrant colour.
From Greece with love🌸
Wow, so many flankers of Light Blue! I was going to get Sun and Love is Love, but now adding a few more to my list lol. 💕
Just got sun and smells amazing!
I appreciate these dives you do on the different ranges. Very helpful!
🥰
Light blue intense is my summer fragrance, I love it, just renewed my bottle👌
I love that scent. It's actually my mom's one of her fave perfume. 💕
Ahhh so funny you posted this i just ordered Light Blue Sun. Light Blue does not work for me personally but I love the scent so I thought I would try the flankers.
Hmmmm D&G with Tonka Bean... very interesting! I will have to try... thanks!
I have Intense and Sun...but you’ve made Sunset in Salina and Escape to Panaera sound so good. I love florals so they may work for me.
Sunset in Salina is the best fragrance of all time. It smells like holidays, summer, beach, good vibes. I love it 🥰
This is my go to very hot weather perfume. I recently discovered a dupe which smells exactly the same as light blue EDT. The dupe is la rive Donna. I think it last longer than light blue EDT
lovely!

Thanks soki. I been seeing sun at tj max maybe I’ll try it ❤️
You try it ? How was it ?
I thought that i had all flankers from Light Blue, as an admirator of this perfume! Conclusion: i need to search for them more! Kisses from a brazilian in Turkey!😂😘🇧🇷🇹🇷. Nice to meet u! New subscriber.😉
Thanks for watching!
Wow I had no idea they had so MANY version!
I own the intense and the Capri. Both are incredible, Capri imo is much stronger than the intense with the classic DNA .. 🌊 🍋 🇮🇹
I’ve only had the original and love it. Sprayed too much one summer and almost got over it but I love citrus perfume so I went back to it. But i really want to get other from the range. Thank you for this great review. Whenever I need comparison of a range I always come to you 😍
Thank you 🙏
OK now because of you, I purchased Sun and repurchased escape to panarea that I found thankfully :)
What is your opinion on sun? Im thinking of blindbuying
@@ranamiray sun is wonderful, I can smell the dna of the original but it's more on the summer side. You can smell the conconut in it. Fantastic summer fragrance. You can blind buy it. I have no regrets :)
@@littlebuttefly9827 thank you for replying ill consider it next summer!
@@ranamiray you're welcome :)
Thanks so much for this review. I have the original Light Blue and the Intense version. After watching your review I’m going to order Escape to Panarea. 🌺
I bought Light Blue and it was ok, not long lasting, but after seeing this video, I bought Light Blue Sun, and I like it much more!..I think it's the coconut like you described. Enjoy your videos....your describe the perfumes so well.
My favorite is the intense. I do like love is love. Last year they had the sun 🌞 one very coconut 🥥
My favorite is escape to panarea, I finished two 100 ml bottles and there's only one drop left from the second which makes me sad. I have to re purchase it soon before it's all gone. Thanks for the lovely video, always adorable ;)
Light Blue Sun sounds like it's down my alley.
Thx for helping me choose 🌺
Enjoy !
I love the flanker Love in Capri....but i cant finded anywere. For me the best thing i have ever smelled!
I have Dolce and Gabbana light blue intense....all the flankers aren't available in my city though.
Want to try Light Blue Sun because of the coconut! Bought Light Blue escape to Panerea and love ! Of course I have the original light blue.

Love this perfume! It’s my favorite! I love the original version. I got the love is love but accidentally got the cologne version because I got it at Ross lol!

Such a fun video 😎I’ve been looking at the flankers and didn’t know which to add to my wish list and now I do! Also I adore LB intense ❤️💛
Great review of this line thank you :)!

Had no idea there are sooo many... ok... gotta try the panarea one👍🏻 with the tonka bean

Forever is my fav version!

Panarea and Salina my fav flankers😄
Really want to try these 😍

Yes probably has been changed. Have u tried the intense version ?
Pink flowers : bougainvillea
Hi, do you maybe have any recommendations of how to layer it (maybe with some body mist?) thank you so much ❤️
I have a backup bottle of escape to Panera, purchased Sunset in Salina. I also own Love is Love. I thought that they came out with a new one for 2021?
I’ve tried the Original, the intense and the Panarea one. I thought escape to Panarea was nice but had a plastic smell to me. The intense did not last on me at all 😩
Soki, I really love Light Blue, this video is amazing! If you had to choose, would you pick Light Blue Intense or an Issey Miyake? I have not tested de IM yet 😊
Hmm IM is much stronger so if you like light blue you might find it too strong
I loved the video❤️❤️
You just sold me Escape To Panarea. Was gonna reorder Light Blue Sun but came to your video first. You BETTER be right.
Nah jk lmfao I'm sure its bomb
Have you ever smelt Michael kors gold?
The flowers are bougainvillea I believe.

Hmm maybe not if u didn’t like it. Issey mayake has the same freshness but lasts longer
I really like your videos 🌸🌸🌸🌸
I'm in two minds,should I buy D&G Light blue Sun or Chanel Chance eau Fraiche🤔 which one is more on the feminine side?🤷
Sun is way better value !

I think off buying the escape to or the new flanker forever. What do u recommand?
Escape is nice! I’m doing a review of forever this week :)
@@SokiLondon Very curious what u think off it
Any dupes for their new Italian Love?
Damn and I thought I got a good deal at $44 for 50ml of the edt.
Do u do giveaways
i find light blue intense very very short lasing!!

So weird because for me it’s almost too long. I’ll shower and I can still smell it
Hi soki can a man pull off wearing any of these flankers are they all uni sex I would like to hear your opinion
Yes I think so!
