Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Light Blue Dreaming in Portofino EDT
This flanker to the ubiquitous Light Blue is divisive, with some hailing it as a sweeter, more feminine take on the original, while others find it too generic or sharp. A fresh, fruity floral with surprising sweetness, it's perfect for warm weather but might disappoint if you're expecting the original's zesty citrus kick.

Our Verdict - See Genoa For Women EDP
A budget echo of Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue Dreaming in Portofino. See Genoa lands the fresh litchi opening and powdery iris-osmanthus heart that make the original a sweeter, more feminine take on Light Blue, but renders the creamy floral texture a little thinner and the velvety amber-musk drydown softer.
