Which Should You Buy?
A summer staple that splits opinions between divine refreshment and mundane false starts. Its lemony apple zest is loved by fresh-scent seekers but labelled basic by those expecting more complexity.
048 chases Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue with the same Sicilian citrus-apple opening, but the fruit reads sweeter and more synthetic, and the cedar-musk dry-down fades within a couple of hours where the original quietly lingers.
