Light Blue EDT, Dolce and Gabbana, Reformulation Guide
Vintage DecantsIdentify and explain:
Hello fragrance fam, on today's reformulation guide were covering Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue for Women EDT! Light Blue is known for being an amazing aquatic summer fragrance with its main notes of lemon and apple. There have been many small reformulations of Light Blue but I'll group them into three main eras to make it easier to navigate.
1. Pre-2012: Through the the first eras of Light blue, these batches I would consider more salty with a heavier emphasis on the bamboo, musk and cedar. On the stickers of these bottles they were produced by either Euroitalia in Italy, P&G in Italy or P&G in Germany, in that order.
2. 2012-2023: in these versions the scent takes more of a citric turn, with a heavier emphasis on the lemon and apple top notes. The base notes of bamboo musk and cedar are reduced. These batches were eother produced by P&G in the UK, B.P.I. in France, or Italy from the Milano address, in that order.
3.Post-2024: In these batches the formula is still produced from the Italy/Milano address. Now the bottle has a slightly different appearance with rounded edges, and the writing of "eau de toilette" removed from the front of the bottle. The scent has been altered from fresh, to slightly sweet with a light floral dry down, due to the restriction on aldehydes.
Hope this helps and enjoy the journey!
