Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.

Its fresh, aquatic, and fruity accords make it a great casual and sport scent for warm weather. The moderate sillage and longevity mean it's unlikely to offend in an office setting, and the feminine, sweet undertones could work well for a daytime date.
Seasons
A fresh, fruity-floral with a cooling iris heart that shines in spring and summer warmth; its lightness fades in cold weather.
