Which Should You Buy?
This new Light Blue release is a divisive one. Fans are split between those who love its departure from the original DNA and those who find it a generic YSL Y clone. It's a loud, citrus-forward marine, so definitely try before you buy.
Divain's dupe matches Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Pour Homme's mandarin-grapefruit-rosemary-rosewood pyramid almost exactly, but the musk-oakmoss base fades faster and thinner, missing the original's lingering incense-tinged warmth.
