Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Palermo

A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Eau de Parfum (2001) - granny smith apple, bamboo and cedar translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Our Verdict - Light Blue

This isn't just a perfume, it's a citrus-drenched hit of summer nostalgia, albeit one that won't stick around long. It's universally recognised, often loved for its fresh, clean vibes, but equally decried for its fleeting presence and occasional 'cleaning product' sharpness. A crowd-pleaser that's surprisingly divisive.

Its fresh and clean profile makes it ideal for office and casual wear, as it's unlikely to offend. The poor longevity and intimate sillage mean it's not well-suited for formal events or dates where you might want more impact.
