Which Should You Buy?
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.
285 goes after D&G Light Blue's crisp lemon-apple-musk formula, and the fresh citrus opening lands well, though the musky base fades much faster than the original's famously long-lasting summer sillage. A decent everyday fresh scent, not an all-day one.
