Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Eau de Toilette vs Versace Pour Homme Eau de Toilette

Light Blue is the safer pick for a woman who wants a fresh, citrus-floral everyday scent; Versace Pour Homme is the better choice for a man who wants a clean, aromatic fougère with more depth. Light Blue is a long-running bestseller with a huge review base and a well-known crisp apple-lemon opening, but owners say it fades by afternoon. Versace Pour Homme is a modern Alberto Morillas fougère with citrus, sage and cedar; it reads more grown-up and lasts longer on most skin, though its review base is far smaller.

• Choose the Light Blue if you want a bright, fruity-floral signature that is easy to wear to work and in warm weather, and you accept a lighter eau de toilette that needs a top-up later in the day.
• Choose the Versace Pour Homme if you want a masculine citrus-aromatic fougère with sage, cedar and amber depth that holds up through a full day.
