Our Verdict

While both evoke a fresh, fruity, and woody vibe, Light Blue leans into a sun-drenched, breezy citrus, while Citrus Green Apple emphasizes a sharper, greener apple note. Light Blue is a touch more sophisticated and beachy, making it ideal for warmer weather. Citrus Green Apple is brighter and more unisex, making it versatile for everyday wear. The biggest difference is longevity; Citrus Green Apple, being an EDP, may last longer. If you prefer a softer, iconic scent, choose Light Blue. For a bolder, greener, and possibly longer-lasting alternative, opt for Citrus Green Apple.

Our Verdict - Light Blue EDT
A summer staple that splits opinions between divine refreshment and mundane false starts. Its lemony apple zest is loved by fresh-scent seekers but labelled basic by those expecting more complexity.
