Pink Me Up EDT
Light Blue (A) leans heavily into its citrus and aquatic profile, making it a brighter, sharper fragrance despite its fleeting performance. Pink Me Up (B) is sweeter and more floral-fruity, offering a softer, muskier experience. The key difference lies in their intensity and primary accord: A is zesty and invigorating, while B is gentle and comforting. If you prefer a bold, attention-grabbing fragrance, go for A. If you want something subtle and easy to wear, choose B. Despite the similarities, they cater to different preferences.

Not a stronger copy of the original: a spiced, golden take on the Light Blue lemon, with frangipani, marigold and a dash of cinnamon, warmed by benzoin and amberwood. Closer to a summer evening than a swim.
Candy-sweet and playful. Strawberry and pear start things off, rose and jasmine round them out, and pink pepper and musk add a little fizz. A casual, light fruity floral.
