Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Acqua di Gioia EDT
A fresh, light, and mass-appealing scent perfect for summer. It’s got an easy-going charm that works for many, though don't expect anything groundbreaking. If you like clean, crisp fruit and florals, this is a solid choice.

Our Verdict - Light Blue EDP
The Essence Vault's interpretation of Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue (2001) - Olivier Cresp's Sicilian-summer signature that defined a decade of fresh-citrus designer-feminine scent, here translated into a budget reading with the Sicilian-lemon-apple-bamboo spine still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for summer and casual-day wear.
