Which Should You Buy?
The gold standard for citrus-aquatic masculines, Light Blue Eau Intense is dazzlingly fresh, zesty, and invigorating, never cloying or synthetic. A casual king for hot weather and crisp, everyday wear.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of L'Eau Majeure d'Issey - a citrus fragrance led by Grapefruit, Bergamot, with fresh depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Bracing citrus and aquatic notes make this scent ideal for spring and summer, where its freshness and lightness shine in warmer temperatures. Its low warmth and airy profile are less suited for colder winter days.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and clean, crisp accords are perfect for the office or casual wear, while the energetic freshness suits active or sporty contexts. It is less formal and not intended for black tie or evening occasions.
Seasons
The citrus character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.
Occasions
Its citrus, fresh signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
