Light Blue Summer Vibes Dolce&Gabbana for women

It's okay. I was interviewed by the peach note, but it disappeared after 20 minutes. What's left, on my skin, smells exactly like Anna Sui's Dolly Girl, which I wore some 20 years ago. I feel this is a scent that I have outgrown. I think it could appeal to a younger crowd.

I agree with Dianesaysword.
I adored Light Blue for years, although it now seems too 'of a time' for me, my tastes have moved on.
I've got a tiny bit left in an old bottle, though, and sniff it occasionally and it still smells good - both undegenerated and, I feel, an amazing composition.
Summer Vibes to me is flat, the peach just doesn't seem to belong and the clean crispness of the original is gone. It's a shame, the bottle deserves better.

I wish I was smelling what the others are because it sounds wonderful, but all I smell is vaguely aquatic and then turns to a dusty old lady smell pretty quickly. I cannot imagine wearing this in The heat of Summer, I think it would gag everyone around you out.

For fans of Light Blue, this is 100% a fantastic flanker! The same DNA as the OG is there, with a fresh peach note added, wrapping the perfume into fruity perfection.

Beautiful longevity and projection. Stunning bottle.

Such a pretty warm weather scent. It's light and the bottle is so gorgeous.

For my nose this is a better version of the original, its smoother in the citrus departnemnt(I dont like sharp citruses), it lasts longer and has more elegant dry down. For example I love love by Moschino is the anoying sharp citrus for me and this one isnt.

Since the one marketed for males is such a letdown, curious on what the ladies opinions are on this for a guy? Unisex leaning enough?

Once again, a LB fragrance that is just so dang freaking easy to like and wear! My goodness!

There's not much to say about the composition of this, it's quite straightforward. It's a predominately citrus fragrance, and it has that specifically Light Blue zest that smells a little lemony, bergamot-y and iconic. You really can tell that this is LB from the air, and it has that unmistakable DNA. The cedar is about the same intensity as it is in the original, although the Intense takes it up a level (Intense is my favorite).

The peach in here is actually quite recognizable, and it's not a vague fruitiness that's difficult to distinguish. With this stuff, you can tell its peach right from the opening.

The original is almost totally unisex IMO, but this is a little more classically femme (who cares, wear what you like) because of the peach.

And that's it. It smells exactly how you'd expect. I don't usually recommend blind buys ever, but if you like the original, and peach, you'll like this.

Beachy peachy. 🍑 ⛱️ 🍋

Perfect citrus scent! Yes, it is very similar both to Light Blue and Light Blue Intense, and I had them both, but that doesn’t make it any less beautiful. I love that Summer Vibes kept the “light blue” vibes. And the bottle is amazing too.

This fragrance is the one for me. I know its frowned upon to wear these summery, fresh & juicy fragrances in the winter, but I cant help it. This scent makes me smile from the inside out. Its like drinking fresh squeezed lemonade on an Italian countryside, beach breeze in the air. It does smell pretty identical to the OG Light Blue, however this has a juicy addition of peach (which for me, makes this much more delicious than the OG). The bottle design on Summer Vibes is perfection. On my skin it has a fantastic wear time (6 hours) and on clothes can last a whole day. Good sillage. I get compliments on it all the time. I work in finance and would not wear this to work, but would for date nights, weekend, vacation or casual wear. This is definitely not a fragrance for people who dont enjoy bubbly, fruity & juicy perfumes. This scent just exudes summertime. A few sprays of this and my whole mood is lifted.

Beautiful bottle, familiar scent. I’ll add to the chorus, Summer Vibes does remind me of Light Blue. For those days when you want to smell like crisp, fresh laundry.

Love the smell, love the bottle.
For some reason reason, I get lime instead of lemon.
Doesn't last 😑

I had to try this to try this as soon as I saw the beautiful bottle. It's very similar to the original. If you're on a budget I recommend La Rive's Donna, its pretty much spot on to Light Blue Summer Vibes.

So similar to the OG, if i had smelled it without looking at the bottle, I would have thought it was the original...

I can barely tell the difference between this and the original version. By the way, it smells identical to "I love love" by Moschino. It's not worth the money, considering you can buy the exact same scent (which lasts longer too) for a smaller price. Light Blue is £19.45/50 ml, and Dolce Gabbana is £74/50 ml.

Beautiful bergamot opening with a peach follow up. Soft and smooth, didn’t irritate the nose at all. Alas it only lasted three hours on skin, but lasted twelve on clothing. Got it for the beautiful bottle, lovely juice was a bonus.

I’m really enjoying it!
It’s really feminine and refreshing.
Classic citrusy scent with nice juicy and soft peach note with a subtle powderiness. Smells great and kinda naturalistic.

I have tested this last weekend and finally, after a very long time, I had this thrilling feeling that I really love a perfume. I didn't buy it though because I wanted to check the lasting power and effect after a while. When I woke up next morning and picked up the t-shirt I had been wearing the day before, this feeling of being exited and in love hit me again. So I have bought it as soon as I could and here I am wearing it happy as can be! Thanks D&G!

I didn’t catch that much difference from the original Light Blue other than a slightly better performance. I did spray like 10 times, though. Lasted the whole day.

This smells identical to the OG Light Blue to me; no difference whatsoever to my nose. The only other Light Blue flanker I have tried is the Italian Zest, which smells almost exactly like Light Blue, but with some limoncello to it. I expected Summer Vibes to smell very close to Light Blue, but I wasn't expecting identical.

I'm completely fine with this smelling the exact same, though. I just finished my bottle of OG Light Blue and needed a new one, and I got this one with the *gorgeous* bottle now.

If you love Light Blue, then I don't see how you wouldn't love this. It's probably not a necessary purchase if you already have a bottle of Light Blue though.

Tried this on my skin and it is bang on the same on me as Moschino I Love Love. Citrusy, a little bit artificial orange, a little bit sweet. Very nice, but redundant for me. Gorgeous bottle!

To my nose, this smell almost identical to the original Light Blue of 10-15 years ago, with a little addition of peach. Marketing stuff with a fancy bottle to be honest. If you have the original Light Blue - having both is redundant. But if you fancy a beautiful bottle in your collection than yes.

First of all, who can resist that beautiful trademark D&G print on the bottle? Not me who bought this without even smelling it, that's for sure! But as a freshie lover, this is actually one of my best blind buys -- citrus without being too sour, the peach adding some crisp sweetness, and a with just a hint of wood to balance it and not make it too feminine. Projection is great, I have gotten a lot of compliments with this. Longevity is also good, lasted more than half a day in the office without need to reapply. Out of all my D&G Light Blue scents, this has become my favorite, overtaking the classic Intense one!

A gorgeous simple scent (simple in a good way, the notes are all sleek and straightforward).
It's quite exactly the same as the original Light Blue, except(!) it drops the florals altogether and shifts focus to charming dominant zest.
Personally i prefer it to Light Blue, it's straight and to the point, verging on a unisex scent with the peach balancing it out with sweetness to add feminine touches.
And the hotter the weather is - the better it is!
Great financial move on D&G's part considering the climate situation...

My only complaint would be the slightly off-center label. I noticed it personally right after unboxing but brushed it off, then started reading reviews of others pointing it out. I literally dont even know what to say like how do you flop so hard.

Tom Ford bitter peach! Some of you really can’t smell.

Not as sharp as LB intense. This one is also a little sweet. Im using this one this summer because the og and intense got a little headache inducing but this one isn't.

Get consistent compliments with this fragrance too, sometimes I mix it with bubble bath to feel extra clean on extra hot days.

When I smelled this it immediately reminded me of the older formulation of the original Light Blue. Smells like the vintage Light Blue when it used to be good !

This is a purely synthetic mess. It gives me a migraine. It smells nothing like OG Light Blue, which was fresh, complex, and significantly less synthetic (I have a vintage bottle here).

I really wish I loved it because the bottle is pretty but first off... it reminds me of whatever Macy's sprays their clothes with. And it might be the cedar coming through but I find this a little too heavy for summer. Maybe Sephora had a bad bottle. Not sure if I ever really got noticeable peach or bergamot per se but there was some sort of fruity note up top briefly before it was dragged down by the cedar muskiness. I tested this on a strip and of course liberally sprayed my fingers too and I have washed my hands multiple times but still can smell it 8+ hours later so I don't personally have any issues with longevity. So not full price worthy but maybe really heavily discounted because I don't really mind the smell but I also wouldn't wear it often. Mostly because of the implication that I might not have washed my new clothes before wearing.

OG Light Blue is a summer favorite of mine, though I don't wear it as much as I did ten years ago, mostly due to the lack of longevity. Summer Vibes does remain true to the original fragrance, but the peach in this flanker really brightens the composition. While it's not more interesting or more complex (if anything it may be less so), it's a little sweeter while not straying too far from the original. I'll admit I'm a huge fan of peach (Gucci Rush and Fresh Sake are among my favorites), so I'm not surprised I enjoy this flanker. That said, peach isn't easily discernible as an obvious note as it's seamlessly blended into the scent most of us either know and love (or hate) by now. I purchased a bottle after testing it once and have since enjoyed it on several occasions in the summer heat. Out of curiosity, I sprayed the OG yesterday for comparison, and where that fragrance ends up going a little bitter on my skin, Summer Vibes never lost its sweetness and remained more true to its original top and heart notes. If you're contemplating a restock of the OG, I'd opt for this one as it's just slightly better in my opinion. If you already own the original and are looking for something very notably different, this one may disappoint.

(For reference, I've not really tried the Eau Intense beyond a test strip, as it didn't give me the same fresh vibes up top as the OG, so I'm just comparing to the original EDT.)

When I sprayed Light Blue Summer Vibes on my wrist I was immediately reminded of my favorite dumb reach summer combo of the OG Light Blue and LB Sun. My combo is a bit more complex but LB Summer Vibes is definitely longer lasting. I haven't really cared for the past few flankers, but I'll definitely pick this up once it goes on discount. It's a great summer fruity-floral that is refreshing and clean without being a lemon bomb.

Dolce and Gabbana seems to come out with a new Light Blue flanker every year or so. Almost all of them smell fantastic, varying on a consistent theme with the OG Light Blue–sharp and fresh fruit notes and gorgeous Italian settings in the summer. Light Blue Summer Vibes sticks to this consistent theme, swapping lemon and green apple for juicy peach as a front player–though the apple and lemon can still be detected in here. It's sharp, juicy, piquant, and delicious without being too sweet or gourmand, thanks to that reliable green cedarwood note. This is a delightful scent and a great addition to the ever-growing fleet of Light Blue flankers.

But this rising star has a tragic flaw, one shared with so many of this line–the longevity.

Light Blue Summer Vibes lasted all but thirty minutes on my skin, maybe even less. It didn't stand a chance in the arid SoCal sun. It was so ephemeral that even five minutes after spraying and letting it dry down, it was already starting to fade. What a shame–between the nice scent and the beautiful porcelain-inspired packaging, this should have been a winner.

Absolutely love this. Beautiful bottle and lovely musky sweet citrus. No strong peach thankfully I'm not the biggest fan. But does give the old formula a slightly sweeter vibe and lasts longer. So I'm on the hunt for a well priced bottle :) More bergamot than lemony so less "cleaning product" vibe more sophisticated than original which I also love btw. Very impressed!

The best Light Blue flanker in my opinion :) You can smell the original in this for sure, but this is more sweet from the peach and bergamot. I love it :) Might need a backup of this.

Smells so much like the original, I'd probably wouldn't know which was which if not comparing side by side. Cannot really smell the peach. Probably not worth it if you already have the original, or intense.

This is a wonderful fragrance. Light, citrusy, and smooth. I can't pick out any individual notes, which often seems muddled to me. But this one comes across as smooth and enchanting because of that. I mean, seeing the notes I can believe the peach, but I don't think I would have picked that out. The citrus isn't bitter at all. It's sweet and mouth watering.

I'm very captivated by this one. I can't stop smelling my arm when I wear it. I don't like the men's version much at all, so I will be wearing this one instead.

I think, with more wears, this might become one of my favorites.

I was hoping to smell the peach in this but did not. Only smell the bergamot. It’s very strong. The Eau Intense was better. Had layers and more complex. This one is just straight up bergamot and nothing else. I’m bummed as it was a blind buy but will continue to use it.

OK - here comes another rant.

When I was still at university, Light Blue/Original was one of the cheaper brand perfumes on the market, and that was one of the reasons why I bought it. But man! was I happy with the scent. It was my signature scent for at least three years until I no longer could smell it on myself.
Since then I've spent a lot of time trying to find a substitute.
Every now and then I tried to go back to the original. Surprisingly, I found it to be very harsh and chemical the last couple of times I tried it. Did they change the formula, or did my nose change? I don't know.

Along comes Summer Vibes. After the first spritz, I'm in heaven. This is how Light Blue smelled back then. I am twenty years younger (mentally, that is) and am totally prepared to buy a full bottle. Screeching halt when I look at the price tag. Are you serious? That's about triple the price I paid for the original bottle back then. Ok, I am older now, I do earn my own money.... Hmm. While I am deliberating whether to treat myself or not, I keep sniffing my wrist. And you know what? The scent I so love(d) is becoming weaker and weaker. I have been standing there next to the shelf for about three minutes, debating with myself, and now the scent is almost gone.

Come on, folks! If you up the price tag like that, the least one could expect is decent staying power.

I did love LightBlue back in the day, but now I just feel that DG is taking advantage of its customers. You have to know when it's time to say good-bye and I am definitely closing the chapter on LightBlue as of now.

A modest and likeable summer fragrance with pleasant citrus top notes and a cool woody drydown. There was no fruit in this for me, definitely no peach (which I did not miss). No longevity and it is very much a skin scent, but if you treat it as a (pricey) cologne and reapply liberally it is a lovely refreshing fragrance for warmer weather. And you get to keep admiring that beautiful mediterranean-vibey bottle :)

Like many reviewers i fell for the bottle. I tested it at my local perfumery, and to me it's very similar to PDM Valaya. I love Valaya and prefers it because it's a more complex and well formulated peach. Summer vibes is a beautiful scent, but it doesn't last nearly as long as Valaya so i can't justify buying it just because of a beautiful bottle. It's worth a try if you don't want to pay the amount of $ for Valaya, but still want to smell like a ripe, juicy, delicious peach this summer!

The bottle should have a warning label " to be enjoyed above 30°C" because is when it shines.
About the scent... think about a lemon meringue pie. Honestly, i am addicted.

...sweet, juicy peaches in a bottle...with just the slightest bit of bitterness from the peach skin... very natural... love it!...very different from the original light blue...

Really good flanker and to me the peach is very prominent. Must admit I mainly bought the perfume for the beautiful bottle but the scent itself turned out to be a LOVE 🍋🍑

I'll go straight to the point:
I got attracted to the image of the bottle.
I don't really care about fleeting mainstream fragrances, and that is exactly what I found. First impression: lemons as in a cleaning product. 3h later it's barely there and smells pretty much like my Light Blue Sun flanker. I can't make the comparison with the other editions from the line and I have only a vague recollection of the original LB. I've never cared for it really, whereas I used to love "I Love Love" (Moschino), as a reference.
Anyways, I figured I'll just get me a bottle of Summer Vibes once I use up my Sun, and by the time it will be heavily discounted. I could wait for a pretty bottle like that, which really seems to be something else. However, now that I saw it in person ehm, no. A reviewer below is right: the print is off the center and obviously a print (with those pixel dots). I did not really expect some sort of hand-painted porcelain, but still - it's not that cheap to justify the cheap execution.
I'm sorry to discover that it's yet another lazy product out there: a poor performer, cheesy name and fake looking bottle that could have made the difference. It's a shame really.

About 10 years ago I owned the original Light Blue fragrance. I saw this in Ulta one day and the bottle really caught my eye, it was so beautiful so I went over and took a sniff. I couldn’t tell the difference between this and the original initially. Both fresh woody scents, heavy on the lemon. Summer vibes gets slightly more sweet and peachy in the dry down, but if I didn’t know from looking at the notes I probably wouldn’t have noticed. I bought it immediately for nostalgia and the bottle. When I got home I was terribly disappointed in the longevity, I think the original was an edt too but the strength was a little better. I can’t even get a scent bubble with this one. Maybe if I let it sit for awhile it will improve, I’ll update if it does.

I'm in loooove with this scent. It's perfect for 30º c summers and up, just like the kind of warmth I'm used to in my city. I lOVE it. The only problem, it does not last. 3 hours tops, after that, even if you ask someone else if they like your perfume, they can't find it on your skin. Too bad... It starts with a juicy yellow lemon in the opening (not so much bergamot, really), very reminiscent of the OG Light Blue, then, when the peach kicks in is marvelous. The wood note is quite soft, it just complements a little bit the whole citrusy feel, which is stronger than the peach in my skin. I LOVE IT. It keeps the original LB DNA, but this doesn't feel out of date.
Wish it could last longer. But I don't care, I have Pacific Lime from Atelier Cologne, and LB Summer Vibes lasts longer so, I want a FB of this baby!

Saw this in a shop and decided to test it. A very short lived citrus freshness. It stayed on the skin but sillage was minimal. The pattern on the tester bottle was off center. I personally wouldn't risk it if the bottle is the only reason you are buying this.

Light Blue Summer Vibes is nice and pleasant, and reminds me of Light Blue Forever, which I associate with a summer vacation on the beach. Summer Vibes is, however, weaker and the sillage is minimal.

I hate the OG Light Blue. HATE it. It’s astringent, obnoxious, and Windex-y. So as you can imagine, I expected very little would come of my little Ulta fragrance strip sprayed with the tiniest, tiniest amount of Summer Vibes.

Ended up buying a full bottle.

Summer Vibes is quiet. No giant orange banging down the door to your nostrils. The bergamot is pleasant - stops by just long enough to say hello, then excuses itself and slips out the back door. After that, it’s mostly just polite peaches stacked in a cedar bowl next to about a shot glass’s worth of sweetened cream. That unlisted-yet-present cream note is what I’m going to be toying with for the next couple weeks… what to use to tease it out, I wonder? Maybe some vanilla body lotion? We’ll see.

Longevity’s not great, I’ll admit. But for a summer fragrance that’s light and fresh with a hint of sweetness, it totally works.

PS: My 5yo just hugged me and said, “You smell like beautiful, beautiful, perfect peaches.” Aw.

PS again: I JUST figured out why I like this so much. My hairdresser uses a haircare brand called Goldie Locks that smells SO good. The notes don’t match whatsoever - according to the website, Goldie Locks products smell like grapefruit, orange, lime, and nectar - but man, I’m telling you, it’s reminiscent enough that I’m not worried about my shampoo smell clashing with my perfume.

The bottle is beautiful in pictures but I don't like the glossy finish in real life. This is available in Douglas and I tried it today- I could not detect the peach, it smelled like the original Light Blue BUT with the stinky-sour-cheap-chemical drydown all the new releases (since 2022, new regulations?) have . So yeah, bummer.

Decent. Very similar to the original.

Nice for warm weather.
I can detect mostly peach and lemon.
Familiar and ubiquitous scent, thus a bit generic, unfortunately, especially in the opening. Not my favorite, but not bad.
I prefer Summer Love, Love is Love or Sun from years prior.

Very nice and original bottle design. I must admit, a bit underwhelming in person but that's fine.

Smell identical to Light Blue Intense on my skin, which unfortunately, pulls masculine on me.

Nothing new here, but I still love it. The original Light Blue stripped of its floral and almost all of the woody elements. Yes, there is little difference to some of the other flankers, particularly Italian Love and Italian Zest, but this is the most streamlined and clean. The packaging is superb and the citrus longevity is impressive. I would choose this version over all others for its relative softness and simplicity.

IDK…..at first sniff I wasn’t impressed. Normally I snatch up these Light Blue limited editions but I passed on this one. Seems like the last 3 are way too similar, but I’ll test this one more before a final verdict.

I like this and it reminds me a bit of a tailored down version of the Italian Love flanker. The bottle is really cute. I like this flanker and the Italian Love flanker very much. I dislike the original Light Blue and the Intense version. They both give me wicked headaches. But this flanker and that Italian Love flankers are great fun and zesty lemon scents. Perfect for extremely hot summer days when all you want is something light, fresh, citrusy and zesty. Would be a great pick me up perfume for work. They say smelling citrus during the day can energize you and keep your productivity levels high. I have given these types of scents to my friends who have boring office jobs and they say it helps keep them awake and productive while improving their mood. A nice lemon, summer scent.

In short: nothing new, nothing special. It is very similar to the previous fragrance from this line. I only smell tangerine and a little peach mixed with Light Blue Intense. The only thing that is nice is the bottle.

Like the original Light Blue but even simpler. An ultra streamlined fresh fragrance stripped down to the minimum.
Pleasant, clean, and pretty. No depth but I think that's intentional. It probably won't blow you away, but I can't imagine anyone disliking this one.

Was I enticed by this perfume for just the bottle alone? Guilty. Those top citrus notes probably lasted less than 3-4 minutes before it settled into a delicate, sweet peach. The peach reminds me of this Japanese car air freshener I used to have, which is probably why I like it as much as I do. On my skin, this scent probably lasted about 5 hours with the wood note being very intimate. It's definitely a safe purchase/scent, nothing too special. I can see this as a daily wear in the summer.

This smells so much like one of their other recent scents. I do like it - it's fresh citrusy, "clean" smelling and vibrant. I find it pricey for the small bottle. I have "Italian Zest", and "Love is Love" and "Sun" and with the exception of "Sun" - to me they all smell extremely similar. I still like it but I think it's like buying a duplicate of one of the others.

On a scent strip it smells wonderfully citrussy and I loved it, but my skin turns it immediatly to something warm and little masculine, no citrus note. Now 12h later it's like light mens deodorant. Not for me personally, which is a bummer.

This perfume is a softer version of the original and the intense with a gentle dose of peach. It doesn’t have the “bite” of the original but definitely smells like light blue. I think it’s an easy blind buy if you like the original. I have the original, intense and forever and still bought this one because it’s so nice.

If you love LB Intense, Italian Love and SUN, this is in the line of this witchy substances (if your skin interacts the right way), but lifted and even sexier and more beautiful, goes to unisex realm. Peach element makes it warm and seductive, but woody elements gives it all the cool. It's fizzy, sparkling, but at a same time posses certain underlying mysterious intensity. Good longevity, not great as Intense, and not weak as SUN. There is nothing better for hot hot days than this. The bottle is beautiful too, looks prettier live than at photos. This perfume makes me feel happy without any real reason, it's mood lifter, similar to the others mentioned above.

Thank you Olivier Cresp, you are real subtle genius!

Smells like original with a dash of sweet from the peach. Doesn't give me the burnt rubber Musk smell the intense version gives. Bought this and the mens

I'll be the first to admit I find D&G Light Blue, the original perfume launched in 2001, very... meh. It came out when I was in fifth grade and it reminds me very much of the early 2000s era... butterfly hair clips and bright blue glitter eyeshadow. It's an iconic fresh, citrusy musk scent and it's popularity has withstood the test of time. But it's not for me.

That being said, I had hope for this new release flanker, Summer Vibes. I've found many flankers that I enjoyed greatly when the original wasn't my style. Unfortunately, I don't find that to be the case with D&G Light Blue Summer Vibes. It very much has that Light Blue essence, made distinguishable from the original only by the enhanced citrusy opening, the combination of peach and bergamot, and the more woodsy drydown. I find it also has the projection and longevity of a body spray.

Overall, it is generally pleasing scent. It's bright and crisp in the opening, the bergamot note provides a sharp, green citrus freshness that eventually gives way to a juicy peach body. I find that the peach note lasts maybe thirty minutes before the base takes over and you're left with a barely detectable lemony cedarwood skin scent.

I received this as a sample for my review and will likely not be purchasing a full bottle.

The bottle designed so perfect 🤩

Dolce & Gabbana, NOOOO! Why you gotta play me that way?! I’m trying to save money for an expensive jasmine perfume I want, but that bottle is going to take my money first. 😭 🇮🇹

I love the bottle design and am thrilled to see some touch of Italian artistry in Light Blue, having been a perennial summer favorite for many many years.

I want this for the bottle alone!
