Which Should You Buy?
Desire Blue is a curiously divisive blue frag, with some loving its fresh, fruity sweetness and claiming it's unique, whilst others find it unbearably synthetic, cloying, and an all-round scrubber. A 'love-it-or-hate-it' without much middle ground, but often found cheap, so you can test the waters yourself.
A roll-on oil sketch of Alfred Dunhill's Desire Blue (2002), keeping the fresh citrus-lavender-musk fougere structure recognisable but trading the original's assertive, marine-tinged spray sillage for a quieter, closer-to-skin oil that fades faster.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, aquatic, and fruity profile makes it suitable for casual wear and sports, especially in warm weather. While some find it office-appropriate due to its non-offensive nature in lighter doses, its sweetness and potential for synthetic harshness make it less ideal for formal settings.
Seasons
A bright citrus-aromatic fougere that suits warm-weather, fresh-air wear; too light to register in cold weather.
Occasions
Clean and inoffensive enough for the office and daily casual wear; too soft for formal evening occasions.
