Light Blue Eau Intense vs. Dylan Blue

by

For this entry, I want to do a comparison post between two men’s colognes, with fairly aquatic compositions: Dylan Blue by Versace vs. Light Blue Eau Intense by D&G. Which of these two popular fragrances, smells better? Which has the better longevity and strength?

I have worn and reviewed each, over the past few years, and will now breakdown which one is the better buy.

Quick Overview

My Verdict

Light Blue Eau Intense is the better fragrance. Dylan Blue has the stronger projection, but Light Blue Eau Intense smells fresher, opens better, lasts longer, and is more enjoyable overall.

Dylan Blue is still a good citrus-aquatic fragrance, but the ambroxan, pepper, and violet leaf dry down is not as strong as its opening. Light Blue Eau Intense is colder, cleaner, and better for hot weather.

Category Versace Dylan Blue D&G Light Blue Eau Intense Winner
Opening Starts with bergamot, grapefruit, aquatic notes, ambroxan, and fig. The citrus aquatic opening is one of its best parts. Opens with frozen grapefruit, mandarin, juniper, and aquatic notes. It is colder, fresher, and more refreshing. Light Blue Eau Intense
Projection Starts stronger and reaches a higher projection level early in the wear. Can also be strong at first, but does not hit quite the same projection level as Dylan Blue. Dylan Blue
Longevity Lasts around 6-7 hours, which is decent and serviceable. Can last around 9 hours, giving it the clear advantage in staying power. Light Blue Eau Intense
Versatility Great for spring and summer, but can work year round. Useful for casual wear, dates, and dressed-up situations. Also great for spring and summer, but can work year round. Easy to wear casually, dressed up, or on dates. Tie
Overall Scent A good citrus aquatic scent, but the dry down leans more into ambroxan, pepper, and violet leaf. Fresher, colder, more aquatic, longer lasting, and better overall. The chilled fruit, aquatic accord, juniper, and woody base make it more enjoyable. Light Blue Eau Intense

My review: Light Blue Eau Intense

Opening

Bergamot and grapefruit are the top notes of Dylan Blue. These two notes sit on top of a somewhat aquatic accord, surrounded by ambroxan, and a fig note which gives it some distinction versus other fragrances in this style. The opening is one of my favorite parts of Dylan Blue.

Light Blue Eau Intense also opens up with grapefruit, but is instead joined by mandarin orange, and the grapefruit has a frozen coolness added. It doesn’t have that same peppery intensity as the original, but I instead get plenty of juinper, and the aquatic accord in the beginning.

Which is better? I really enjoy how both of them start off, but I would say that I like Eau Intense more than Dylan Blue. It is refreshing and aquatic and doesn’t bring about similar thoughts of Sauvage, like Dylan Blue can.

Edge: Eau Intense

Projection

The sillage of both can be strong at first, but I think Dylan Blue hits a higher level. An hour or two into the wear, both of these colognes move more into the moderate end of things.

Edge: Dylan Blue

Longevity

Dylan Blue lasts for 6-7 hours on my skin and I never get any more than that. It’s decent and serviceable. Light Blue Eau Intense will last or 9 hours, in my experiences with it.

Edge: Eau Intense

Versatility

Both are great in the spring/summer, but can work year round. Both can go casual, more dressed, up and out on a date, if need be. I don’t really see much of a distinction between these fragrances, here.

Edge: Push

Overall Scent

Dylan Blue grew to me having a higher esteem for the fragrance, the more I tested it out. I still don’t love it, but I do like the citrus aquatic opening, a whole lot.

The rest of the wear, becomes laden with ambroxan, pepper, and violet leaf. That part of it isn’t as good, but again, not terrible either. I never came around to thinking that the dry down, was more than decent.

Light Blue Eau Intense is better, in my opinion. The opening is even better than Dylan Blue’s which is the highlight of its life, and it also lasts longer.

It’s super fresh and the aquatic/fruit elements are chilled, which is really awesome on a hot day. Plus, the woody base with juniper floating around, only adds to its pleasant smell.

It’s a pretty close match up, but I’m going with the Dolce, in this one.

Winner: Eau Intense

Who Should Buy Versace Dylan Blue?

Buy Dylan Blue if you want the stronger projecting fragrance. It is best if you like grapefruit, bergamot, ambroxan, fig leaf, violet leaf, and pepper. It works well for casual wear, spring, summer, dates, and year-round use. It also makes sense if you want something more in the blue fragrance style.

Who Should Buy D&G Light Blue Eau Intense?

Buy Light Blue Eau Intense if you want the better summer fragrance. It is fresher, colder, longer lasting, and more aquatic than Dylan Blue. It is best if you like frozen grapefruit, mandarin, juniper, aquatic notes, musk, and amber woods. This is the better choice for hot days, vacations, casual wear, and warm-weather daily use.

My review: Light Blue Eau Intense

Opening

Light Blue opens up with a trio of citrus fruits led by bergamot and grapefruit, with a bit of mandarin orange. It is super bright and summery, with added spice provided by pepper, and an herbal aroma of rosemary.

After 10 minutes, the citrus is bolstered by some base notes, of incense and rosewood. This provides a smoked wood scent, that gently sits in the background.

Eau Intense, is similar to the original in that it starts with grapefruit and mandarin orange, to give that citrus scent. The grapefruit is a ‘frozen’ one, so, there is a great chilled vibe coming from the cologne and the pepper is absent from this version.

In its place, I pick up a light juniper note. The main difference from the original is the inclusion of an aquatic accord. It is slightly salty but not really oceanic, more like sitting by a hotel pool, while on an island. You pick up aquatic elements of sea and pool water.

Don’t worry, they aren’t heavy or overwhelming. But, it is one nice distinction that I get and really one of the things that sold me on this flanker when I first tried it.

I really like the juniper addition here, it gives Eau Intense an amazing level of freshness, that matches up well with the frozen grapefruit ingredient.

Which is better? I have to say that Eau Intense won me over with the great cool and refreshing aroma. Add to that, the nice aquatic scent and the lack of pepper, and I simply enjoy it more than the original. Although, I do like that one, also.

Edge: Eau Intense

Projection

Eau Intense is designed to be stronger and it is. The sillage is pretty powerful for a citrusy summertime cologne, which is really nice. The original isn’t weak, it’s more moderate, but obviously doesn’t hit the heights of an intense version.

Eau Intense starts off strong and then becomes more of a moderate, as it wears on. It can indeed be quite bold up top, so, you don’t need to spray all that much for it to be effective.

Though, Eau Intense doesn’t keep the power for the duration. Most of the wear, will be firmly in that moderate camp.

Edge: Eau Intense

Longevity

You’d think that Eau Intense really blows the original out of the water, in terms of how long it lasts. However, it’s not that much of an advantage. The original will last 6-8 hours on my skin, while Eau Intense, lasts about 9.

Update: Newer bottles of the original seem to be more in that 6-7 hour range for me. 8 is kind of a reach.

Yes, it’s better, but it isn’t an overwhelming advantage. Actually, for the price you can get these at and their style (citrus aquatics), the longevity is really good for either. Eau Intense just hangs around for another hour or so.

Edge: Eau Intense

Versatility

There really isn’t a difference between these two, as both D&G fragrances, check the same boxes. Both are built for spring/summer but can handle year round wear just fine.

Both can go casual, office wear, and are attractive enough to be worn on a date. Not really ‘sexy’ but attractive and pleasant.

The original does have a long-running popularity, so, maybe it has some advantage in terms of attractiveness (or perceived attractiveness, at least). To me, not really much separation here.

Edge: Push

 

 

Overall Scent

I have to say, that I do actually enjoy Light Blue quite a bit. It has a lot of great elements to it. It is very fresh, clean, versatile, and is a good starter fragrance for guys. A simple scent, that performs well.

Light Blue Pour Homme is a bit drier, has a spicier profile, but with that same great citrus top. Doesn’t have the same aquatic style as Eau Intense, though it evokes, those kind of summertime feelings.

However, I think they took what was good about the original, and amplified it for Eau Intense.

Dolce managed to surpass their creation with Eau Intense. It’s just better in pretty much every way. It’s still fresh, but smoother, and has a cold crispness to it, which the original just doesn’t.

The aquatic accord is a nice addition. Plus, there is juniper and woody notes, which just add to the overall freshness and appeal. I could wear either of these colognes, but I’d choose Light Blue Eau Intense first.

I’ve actually gone back and forth with Eau Intense, over the past year. I loved it, then couldn’t stand it for a while, and now it’s grown on me once again. I think the amber wood note, can turn some folks off from it, and is indeed bothersome at times.

Although, I still think it is the better option between them, even if I can easily wear both colognes.

Actually, I’ll also go with Light Blue Sun, since it’s sort of a middle ground between them or one of the other flankers. The inventory of each of them changes, since most of these flankers are a one year release, before being discontinued.

Winner: Eau Intense

Choose Light Blue if:

You want the original Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue DNA
You prefer a brighter, drier, spicier citrus scent
You like bergamot, grapefruit, pepper, rosemary, and light woods
You want a simple, fresh starter fragrance for casual daily wear
You do not need the stronger projection of Eau Intense

Choose Light Blue Eau Intense if:

You want the better performer between the two
You prefer a colder, smoother, more aquatic scent
You like frozen grapefruit, mandarin, juniper, and aquatic notes
You want something stronger for spring and summer wear
You want the version that improves on the original while keeping the same fresh DNA

Devotion Pour Homme by D&G

by

Devotion is a newer series for both men and women by D&G. The women’s side of things got a head start, before Devotion Pour Homme was released in 2025. I recently bought a sample of this cologne to test it out and see what it’s all about.

What does it smell like? Does Devotion Homme last long? Is this Dolce & Gabbana fragrance worth a try?

Devotion Pour Homme Overview

Notes include: lemon, coffee, patchouli

Click here to try: Devotion Homme at Sephora

My Full Review

Here’s how they describe it: Dolce & Gabbana Devotion For Men Eau de Parfum celebrates unwavering and unconditional devotion, the power of love, and the joy of life. The fragrance, anchored by the timeless Sacred Heart, reflects the essence of a determined man, confidently guided by his instincts.

The opening is a warm roasted coffee note sitting underneath a giant squeeze of lemon juice. The lemon is pretty intense for a few minutes, before fading behind the coffee.

This isn’t really a coffee bean sort of smell or the grounds, this is like a literal interpretation of what a cup of coffee smells like. It’s spiced and given that citrus enhancement, but that’s what is here with this D&G cologne.

So, if you’re not into that, you probably won’t enjoy Devotion. At least the opening act.

A little bit further along, you start to get more of the patchouli note. Even that, isn’t enough to unseat the coffee from being the main focus of this scent.

It begins to be more of a coffee and woody/woodsy sort of aroma. Note sure which wood note is here, but there’s something underneath the patchouli and coffee. Things are still somewhat spicy, but this just seems more like a warm aroma. The lemon is pretty much just a sparkle now.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

The opening spray does have some decent power behind it. It’s not a super heavy coffee blend or anything, but it’s got some reach in that first hour or so.

After that, this Dolce & Gabbana cologne will have a moderate projection, that trends fairly quickly to the lighter end of things.

On my skin, Devotion Pour Homme sticks around for about 7 hours. Nothing amazing with the performance here, but solid enough.

Seasonally, this is an autumn through springtime wear. So long as it’s not too hot or humid out, Devotion should be able to work.

This would be a good fragrance for younger guys, as far as daily wears go. It’s not formal or something that most would wear to the office. Nightlife, would be good. It’s not a massive projector, but its gourmand qualities are attractive.

Overall Impressions of Devotion

Overall, do I like Devotion? I do like it somewhat. I’m not sure what the hate this has gotten is all about, it’s a pretty good fragrance, not amazing but likeable. I guess this is more of a love/hate cologne for a lot of people.

The opening spray isn’t too amazing, but I do think that once the strength of the lemon wears off a bit, it’s an enjoyable enough scent. Just sort of harsh to kick things off. I like the coffee and the slight spiciness of the mix. It does smell like a cup of joe. Then, it softens into something else.

Again, I’m not in love with this one, and won’t be buying a bottle for myself. But, for the time that I’ve had it on, there is enough to like here.

When compared to the other D&G sample that I received, Light Blue Capri in Love, I think that it is a bit better than is Devotion.

If you’re interested I would for sure try to get this when it’s discounted, because I don’t think it’s too worthwhile at retail prices.

Light Blue Capri in Love Pour Homme by D&G

by

Light Blue is the line that keeps right on going for Dolce & Gabbana, on both the men’s and women’s side of things. 2025’s release is Capri in Love Pour Homme. I recently bought a sample vial of this new cologne to test it out.

How does Capri in Love smell? Does it last long? Is this Light Blue worth a try?

Capri in Love (Men’s) Overview

Notes include: fig, black pepper, patchouli

Click here to try: Light Blue Capri in Love Homme

My Full Review

Here’s how D&G describes it: A dive into the salty sea breeze and golden light of Capri.
Intriguing and enveloping, Light Blue Capri In Love Pour Homme Eau de Parfum opens with the spicy note of Black Pepper. At its heart lies the vibrant and green soul of Capri Green Fig, while Patchouli lends a deep and magnetic elegance, encapsulating the Mediterranean island’s allure.

So, there are only three listed notes here. But, looking at the ingredients there is a light citrus note up top that I’m smelling, which pairs up with the opening spice of the black pepper.

From the jump, you can tell that this one isn’t going to be too heavy and it will have a freshness that is great for the summertime. Very reminiscent of Kenzo fragrances and Paradise Garden (if you stripped it of mint and coconut).

Love in Capri is definitely a departure from the rest of the series. Dolce & Gabbana have done some really different takes on the Light Blue name, like, Vulcano and Stromboli.

Clean, spicy, slightly sweet, and a greenish base is how this Light Blue edition starts out.

Then, it really become fig dominant for the rest of the wear. If you don’t like fig, you’re not going to enjoy this. For me, this is something that I do think I’d enjoy, at least somewhat. A good fig mix for summer, isn’t usually something that the mainstream designers do.

Anyway, it’s basically just fig and a light patchouli the rest of the way. There are some woody undertones popping out as well. A pretty simple use of notes for the warmer months of the year.

But, I do think that this one shines once that black pepper starts to fall off. The green fruitiness of the fig works well.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

This sillage here is a lighter moderate. It’s not weak, it’s just not going to be a heavy thick cloud of scent. Nor should it be. It’s light, clean, and somewhat refreshing. Though, the reach it has with it’s projection is good.

On my skin, this one lasts somewhere in the 6-7 hour range. That’s about what I expect from these D&G Light Blue releases, this edition is par the course.

Seasonally, obviously we’re going spring and summer with this one. That’s what it’s built for.

Within that, though, I think that Capri in Love has plenty of use cases. It can be a daily wear, something casual, or even venture into the nightlife if need be.

Also, this is one that can be worn by any age group. Capri in Love is a well balanced summer cologne.

Overall Impressions of Capri in Love

Overall, do I like Capri in Love? So far, I do kind of like it. I’m not blown away by it, but for what it is, I think this Light Blue edition is nice.

It’s not too complicated of a fragrance and is fairly linear once that fig note kicks fully into gear. If you enjoy the Kenzo scents, K by D&G, etc.; you’ll probably like this one at least somewhat too.

If you’re a fan of the usual Light Blue citrus heavy colognes, this one might not be worth your while.

Either way, I don’t think it’s a great scent. Probably too high priced, at the initial release, but if you want an enjoyable change of pace for the summertime, this can do nicely.

Performance is mid, as usual with the Light Blue fragrances. Yet, it does enough to make it useful.

If you want a simple designer fig cologne, this is a good option. If it doesn’t sound appealing to you, I don’t think it’s going to shock or change your mind, if you try Love in Capri out.

Ranking The One Colognes by D&G

by

The One from Dolce & Gabbana is a line of fragrances that keeps chugging along and releasing new flanker scents. I recently revisited these colognes and also tried the one’s that I hadn’t gotten to yet, in order to do reviews for the site.

I figured that I should also create a ranking list of the best The One colognes for men, as a more accessible guide on the topic. So, here that is.

Ranking My Favorite Dolce & Gabbana The One Colognes

The Best

The One EDP– After going back over this entire lineup, the number one option is still The One Eau de Parfum. Taking everything great about the original EDT and adding depth and better performance. 

I grabbed a new bottle for myself, after years of not having any in my collection, just based on re-testing the EDT version.

I personally pick up more grapefruit in the early stages of EDP. That amber and tobacco combination is beefed up and is so fantastic when it hangs in the air. 

You do still need to go heavy on the sprays for this one to perform. With my bottle, I can get 6+ hours and sometimes around 8 with a good amount of spraying. Still not amazing, but it’s what you’ll probably need to do, if you really want to enjoy The One. The One EDP Review

the one edp review

Sweet, Warm, Fruity

The One Luminous Night– For some, this is the best of the entire line. I still think that it’s a notch below EDP, but I also have a bottle currently being shipped to me, since I got a decent price finally.

One thing is for sure, Luminous Night is the best of the limited edition Night colognes that has been released thus far. Update: If you can’t find this, Dua has their inspired take on this cologne.

The opening is a contrast between colder and fresh notes (basil and sage) versus the warmer sweeter notes, highlighted by its signature use of dates.

The fragrance will get warmer, sweet but not overly so. Amber, incense, and woods will round Luminous Night out and creates a fantastic cologne. Nice performance, not a complete beast, though. Luminous Night Review

Update: With my full bottle of this stuff. It can be hit or miss, as to how much I enjoy it. Sometimes, it seems completely like a sage and basil dominant fragrance. Other times, you get a more balanced use of the dates. 

It’s great on occasion, but not something that I want to wear on a daily basis, even in winter. Which, is when it is at its best. Still, a cologne that I’m glad I picked up when I could.

The Original Release

The One EDT– With the original, I will always love how this smells. But, the performance is bad. So, just get the EDP, since it’s basically  the same (more or less).

The EDT will get the third spot, but it wouldn’t be the one to buy, unless you really want to spray the heck out of yourself daily.

Revisiting this original version was great. That light grapefruit note, basil, and the warm amber tying everything together. It’ll only stick for 3-4 hours, if sprayed a lot in the same place, and that’s the main gripe. 

Again, just get the EDP and maybe one of the others that you like. The One for Men Review

the one for men review

Best of the Second Tier Options

The One EDP Intense– This one sort of gets overlooked, as it is the Intense version of the EDP, and doesn’t nearly hit the same level of enjoyment. However, I think that it is actually underrated, and is definitely in the top half of The One releases.

This opens up with a cooler blend of spice and woods. Sage, cypress, and cardamom are all apparent from the opening. A nice amount of spice, but this is a woodier version of the formulation, much like Royal Night (listed below). 

Neroli and cardamom have their moments, but this one actually has a leather note which will come to lead things and a resinous labdanum note, instead of just being the usual amber. The One Intense Review

A Spring/Summer Remix

The One for Men Grey– Grey often gets a bad wrap when compared to some of the others that I have placed below it. While I don’t think that it’s spectacular, The One Grey is marginally better than the others and changes up The One formulation.

What’s the deal with Grey? Well, it’s basically a summertime version of the original formula. The grapefruit in the original is given a large role, the fragrance is lighter and fresher, with much less of that tobacco and amber.

The opening goes bold with an array of spices, complementing the citrus. I get a lot of the basil, but there’s also: cardamom, sage, and coriander. All given more prominence in this when compared to EDT or EDP. 

The vetiver, lavender, and tobacco come out more later on in the wear. It’s clean and an easy one to wear on the warmer days of the year. The One Grey Review

Bold Spice, Dry Wood

The One Royal Night– I actually thought ahead of trying both of them, that I might prefer Royal Night to Luminous Night. But, that wasn’t the case. This is pretty good, but ultimately not a must have for me. A missed opportunity for something great.

Royal Night goes heavy with the spices up front. It goes with the usual cardamom and basil notes, just really amped up, and adds nutmeg. I like it, the spice is dynamic and pretty captivating.

Actually, the cardamom, basil, and nutmeg is a preferable spice mix for me versus the sage and basil of Luminous Night.

Yet, that part is short-lived. The cardamom and cedar notes have there phase, also. However, the dry down is pretty boring with just amber and woods. Super dry and while it doesn’t smell bad or anything, kind of loses its steam, as Royal Night progresses. Royal Night Review

royal night review

Peppery Vanilla and Lavender

The One Gentleman- The One Gentleman is another fragrance from this line, that I thought I would like more than I actually did. 

This one has a spicy punch early on. The usual cardamom from the rest of the lineup, along with a bigger dose of pepper. It kind of contrasts with the sweetness and creaminess of the vanilla note, but I sort of like how this starts off.

Then, it’ll dry down into more of a vanilla and lavender combination with only lighter bits of spice popping through. It’s got too much freshness and sweetness for me. It gets annoying to wear after a while.

I don’t totally hate The One Gentleman, but it’s not one that I’d really ever reach for either. The One Gentleman Review

Best Performer, Not a Great Scent

The One Mysterious Night– Mysterious Night will be near the top for some people. For me, it’s near the absolute bottom. But, in terms of performance this one is loud and lasts for ages, unlike some of the others.

I bought a travel sprayer decant of this and wore it a few times, before having enough of it.

The main trifecta here is rose, oud, and saffron. I personally love saffron as a note, but have grown to almost hate the repetitive combination of oud and rose, that has become a signature of every high-end designer.

But, if you like those notes, here is an affordable option that is actually blended well. I just cannot get into it. Mysterious Night review

 

Blood Orange Freshness

The One Gold for Men– I actually would personally rather wear this than Mysterious Night, but I can’t really say that it is a great cologne. I don’t want bottles of either, but Gold isn’t all that bad.

This is a heavier use of citrus than even Grey. Along with, aromatic spices. Here you get a strong blood orange, clary sage, and cardamom. Ginger, however, is the strongest of the spicy notes.

That will fade, then you get an earthiness and cold freshness with geranium. Not a complicated fragrance. It has its enjoyable moments, but not really worthwhile Very similar style to Legend Red by Montblanc, but also not as good as that one. The One Gold Review

Last Place

The One Sport- This version came out over a decade ago, following up the success of The One EDT. It’s by far the worst in the series and one that you probably won’t come across in the wild nowadays.

If you merged the bad performance of the EDT with a bland fragrance, you essentially get Sport. It actually reminded me of the old Deep Energy by Adidas, the difference being that fragrance used to cost under $10, while you paid D&G prices for this. The One Sport Review
