If you suffer really badly from allergies like myself it can often become really frustrating to find perfume and other beauty products that you can actually go near without sneezing, coughing, wheezing and those dreadful runny eyes. As a result you end up buying the same safe products over and over again! I think i had actually been wearing the same perfume for nearly ten years and had decided that enough was enough. After popping several anti-histamines I decided to venture down to my local department store on a mission that I was going to find myself some new perfume. After a good hour or so I ended up with the exceptionally helpful and somewhat patient girls at the Dolce & Gabbana counter where I came upon their "Light Blue" eau de toilette.
Product
Launched by the manufacturers in 2001 and recommended for daily use. Light blue is an extremely refreshing and light tangy fresh smelling eau de toilette spray. Once settled the fragrance boasts subtle musky hints of apple and jasmine. Having done a bit of research around this as some of the other ingredients are hard to distinguish, particularly having an untrained perfume appreciating nose like mine!!. The product also contains Sicilian Citron, Granny Smith Apple, Bluebells, Bamboo, White rose, Jasmine, Cedarwood, amber and musk. It is not over-powering when first sprayed like so many of these products are. When you dispense it small amounts come out so you are not completely drenched in perfume.
Packaging
The 100ml variety comes with an outer light blue suede effect box which is soft to the touch, featuring the company logo and the name of the perfume in silver imprint. This in my opinion makes the product look expensive and classy. The perfume itself comes in a white frosted glass rectangular shaped bottle. The lid again is light blue with a silver band below and again the silver writing. The perfume is dispensed by pump spray.
Gorgeous sweet refreshing perfume that is not sickly and doesn't catch the back of your throat. I would suggest that it could be worn as a day or evening perfume. The product is long-lasting in my opininon I would estimate a good 8 hours worth out of a couple of squirts. What i like about this product is that you actually dont really notice it when wearing it due to its subtleness. In the course of a day i forget i have it on and its other people who remark about the smell of the fragrance, and how fresh the scent is. I would recommend this for use by individuals with sensitive skin and for those who are allergic to strong smells. No rashes noticed here and I have been wearing this for a while now. Reasonably priced for a designer perfume. You will receive lots of comments when wearing this. One bottle lasts ages however contents must be used within 36 months of opening so bear this in mind. You can buy this in very pretty gift sets which contain shower gel and body lotion complimenting the perfume beautifully.
Disadvantages
Do not carry this around in your handbag unless it is tester sized. Have had two bad experiences where the top of the bottle has become loose and the contents have leaked out. Other than this none.
Overall I would definitely rate this product with 5 stars as it is gorgeous and well worth the money. Highly recommended everything that you would expect from the name D&G. Ideal summer fragrance but can be worn any time of the year.
