Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Light Blue EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Palermo EDP
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.
