    It’s decent for the price, but it only lasts about two hours and has very weak projection. I recommend trying Armaf’s Tag Her: it’s an Arabic perfume cheaper than Light Blue, though slightly more expensive than La Rive Donna. If you want better projection and longevity, Armaf is definitely the better choice.

    It’s good for the price, but it only lasts about two hours and has a very intimate projection. I recommend trying Armaf’s Tag Her: it’s an Arabic perfume that’s cheaper than Light Blue, though a bit more expensive than La Rive Donna. If you’re looking for better projection and longevity, I think Armaf is much better.

  3. I hated it. I bought it because of the reviews here and, since it’s so cheap, I didn’t feel like much was lost buying it blind. I can barely smell it; I know it smells like fresh lemon, but only if you sniff the bottle. On clothes and skin, it lasts five minutes. It’s a cologne deodorant, less rich than a fresh cologne. It has a base note that makes it feel cheap and tacky; I’d prefer any plastic-bottle cologne that costs half as much.

I can barely smell it; I know it smells like fresh lemon, but only if I sniff the bottle directly. On clothes and skin, it lasts five minutes. It’s a cologne, less rich than a fresh eau de cologne. The base note makes it feel cheap and tacky; I’d rather wear any plastic-bottle cologne that costs half as much.

    Fresh, summery, and affordable. A great budget option for summer, basically a dupe for Light Blue.
