I smelled it and instantly fell I love. It smelled like a photorealistic grapefruit. This scent took me back to my childhood when I was having grapefruits for breakfast every morning before track practice. When a fragrance can unlock a scent memory from a real fruit I don’t even know what to say.
Was in Sephora today and someone spray this fragrance. I immediately bought it because of that grapefruit note. I’m going to wear it myself, I think a woman could pull this scent off well.
For me it's the best release this year along with Tobacolor. I layer Light Blue Forever with Light Blue Eau Intense equal sprays for a longer lasting experience. Equally on its own its a BANGER
I grabbed it immediately after your first impression vid, I love this fragrance. The open is weird but when it settles down and gets sweeter this fragrance is a masterpiece.
Absolutely agree one of the best scents of all time for me! Love love the grapefruit/bergamot smell. It’s so fresh when you first put it on and it lasts!
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Forever, a grapefruit bomb in the beginning, and the white musk & patchouli smooths it out. I'm wearing this now in the hot weather here in New York, definitely one of the best new releases of 2021 for sure.
Love the creaminess of the vetiver/patchouli earthiness and woodiness to smooth out the fresh grapefruit. Makes it delicious and so refreshing. Must keep it on for the entirety of the fragrance. It develops big time.
I love this fragrance had a 10ml decant I bought in store for buying a travel atomiser ... so planning to buy it once I finish uni exams to celebrate as a reward
I was intrigued after watching your first impression video because I absolutely LOVE Grapefruit!! I remember as a kid visiting family in Palm Springs every Summer and picking fresh Grapefruit in the mornings for breakfast. THIS is an absolute stunning summertime fragrance, and is by far my favorite to date! A+++ natural Grapefruit and pairs so well with the Vetiver and subtle Patchouli that runs through the entire fragrance. Absolutely fantastic pickup on this one for sure, highly recommend it! 👍
@@ComicmanImaginator I really can’t imagine someone not liking this. I don’t care for the saltiness and aquatic feeling from the other light blues…and Forever really omits most of that aquatic scent to me. I just don’t want to pay retail or I’d already have it.
I finally tested this out. That opening is legit, not sure about the longevity though. I sprayed my neck so my wife could get a whiff of it when I got home, about an hour later. She had a hard time picking up the scent. I'll totally pick it up once it hits the rack stores.
Ash gave Noir Ambre by Issey Miyake an amazing review, I bought it and LOOOOOOVED it. He really knows what he's talking about and since he really likes this, I'm going to buy it. Plus I love the grapefruit note.
Been wearing nonstop for about 4 weeks now. It’ll probably go down as the summer 21 scent for me. Wore it to restaurants, bars, baseball games, the gym. The grapefruit in the opening is so vibrant it wakes you up. Got the 100ml for around $60 with a coupon code and a dusty ol Macy’s gift card I had to put to use.
I love this fragrance but to each their own. Most will either like or dislike it mainly because of the grapefruit but if anyone thinks that the grapefruit in this fragrance smells synthetic, you are wrong.
@@ronnymadridcr7 For sure. I enjoy that fragrance as well. I just saw people saying that LBF had a synthetic grapefruit smell and that’s just people upset by their purchase, in a Jeremy-Fragrance-level of love with LBI, etc.
Gotta give you this one G. I haven't tried light blue intense but I like this, especially in the heat. It reminds me of Dior Homme Cologne with more nuance and better performance.
I got mine a couple of days ago.. its a banger... the grapefruit note is very alluring... performs great especially during the high summer heat... I bought the small bottle because I wasn't too sure how well it was gonna turn out, now that I know, I should of just got the bigger bottle 😕 oh well!🤷♂️
Just picked it up on Friday and it is definitely amazing. I’m now mad that I only picked up the 50ml bottle. Will be picking up an 100ml soon for the collection.
Great video as always! Smelled a sample of this today and it smells like you've sprayed yourself with undiluted grapefruit cooldrink concentrate. Not my cup of tea...
I do love the opening of this, very realistic. But I haven't received one compliment wearing this. When I wear light blue eau intense, I receive a compliment every wearing.
Tested this out at ulta last week after all the hype…returned 5 hours later to pick it up. Great designer release. SUPER rare I buy before discounters but I couldn’t help myself.
Great to see your enthusiasm for this frag. I personally don't like eating grapefruit, it's too sharp and nasty tasting.. However this fragrance I like! Surprising given I don't like grapefruit, it's a smell you kinda want to keep smelling and it seems to last a long time.. I'll wait for discounters or maybe get a decant.. One of the best I've smelt for a while.. I don't like the other light blue ones (that I've smelt)..
It's nothing like light blue intense, day one of sampling it, I wasn't sure, day 2 I started to love it, it's now my favourite scent, already put a dent in my 50 ml bottle
@@ComicmanImaginator No. I love the opening, but it’s really intense and makes me sneeze a little. If you or someone around is sensitive to strong smells then be careful. I love the opening but the dry down is a little to musky for. If you like vetiver and musk then you’ll like the dry down. The grapefruit does last for a while.
I just picked it up based on your recommendation... I did get it discount. But I'm so excited. Looking forward to letting you know how it worked. Thank!
Easily the best of the line, and that’s saying something. I wore the OG quite a bit in the late 00s and 10s. On my third bottle in fact. I rarely wear it since i got Eau Intense in 2019. Now Forever has supplanted that one. What a fantastic fragrance!
Agree the Grapefruit is fire🔥, but sadly only last about 45min on me here in Socal with 115 plus temps. To me the drydown reminds me and my lady alot of Sun so in a way it's kinda redundant. Only wish the Grapefruit lasted throughout so I carry a decant with me just to get a blast of it every once in a while 👍
just got it in yesterday from Rafaelos (i was too impatient waitin for Fragrance Buy and Net to restock.), and i love it. its sad that this is so hard to find, and i did hear rumors it was possibly discontinued. The scent isnt bad but i need to wear it more around ppl so ik how well it projects, bc either its not that strong bc its a summer fragrance, or something is wrong with my body chemistry, or i went noseblind or what, bc i couldnt smell it much after a while on the initial wear yesterday. im gonna wear it more later on this week, but yea thats my initial thoughts on it.
Hey Ashton, i know its a old video. But do you reckon if i really enjoyed Light Blue eau intense , id also enjoy Light Blue Forever? Light blue intense right now is in my top 3 summer scents. Waiting on my Forever flanker to arrive.
Ash, you are basically describing an Aqua Roma like fragrance! O will have to check it out and if I like it the same as you, I may just buy it at retail. Thanks!
I really wanted to like this. Ended up returning. The opening is definitely impressive and even surprising on first smell. But at the end of the day, I just don’t really want to smell like a grapefruit 😂
Yep, I'm one of those people who rejected this Light Blue Forever because of the TOO realistic grapefruit opening. It's like grabbing a can of grapefruit from the refrigerator and pouring it on yourself I would rather have an idealized citrus in a fragrance. Very "natural" but not realistic. This is not my cup of grapefruit.
I'm still on the fence with this..I bought this for very hot days so I appreciate the realistic grapefruit. The rub is the heavy musk that sits in the background it takes this scent from fresh to almost a (I've been working outside for a few hours musky/pheromone smell). The thing is that smell is semi addictive and grows on you, but I could see it being divisive. A channel did a street test with Profondo and this and it was 10 likes to 8 likes for profondo so by no means a blow out. I would not blind buy this.
I will have to agree with you ash this scent is by far the best in the light blue line next to Eau Intense I smelled it once at Macy's and it just was so fresh and the citrus grapefruit scent is amazingly real smelling!!!!!
I tried it at Sephora last week. Was disappointing. Nothing special to me. I'll have to try again to see if I missed something. But not optomistic, since I don't even like eating grapefruit :--) . I suggest trying first.
I'm getting my light blue forever Friday. I got the men's and women. It the best light blue both men and women. I like women's love its love I don't love light blue but 2021 flanker is great.
Went to macys today with intentions to buy this but it smelled so stongly of a grapefruit peel I couldn't pull the trigger. It's not like I don't like realistic after all Terre de hermes is my favorite scent.

True, it smells delicious

Now they do have a female version. My wife has it. I am sure they are very similar
This is definitely unisex

Sucker born every minute. This thing is now $30
I’m watching this video after I tested it today. I’m glad it’s not only me: this is a wow!
I sprayed it 4 hours ago and it’s still working well.
Absolutely agree one of the best scents of all time for me! Love love the grapefruit/bergamot smell. It’s so fresh when you first put it on and it lasts!
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Forever, a grapefruit bomb in the beginning, and the white musk & patchouli smooths it out. I'm wearing this now in the hot weather here in New York, definitely one of the best new releases of 2021 for sure.
I originally bought eua intense, but picked up the lastest flanker from DG , it's so much better the grapefruit smell is even better
Love the creaminess of the vetiver/patchouli earthiness and woodiness to smooth out the fresh grapefruit. Makes it delicious and so refreshing. Must keep it on for the entirety of the fragrance. It develops big time.
Got this last week and it’s amazing! I wasn’t a big fan of any light blue fragrance before this.
I just got this and sprayed it. Love the blast of grapefruit. The dry down is excellent. Overall a keeper and highly recommended.
I love this fragrance! Smells amazing and always gets me compliments. Perfect summer scent
This is my absolute favourite fragrance for the summer❤️ I get so many compliments wearing it. This is a must own

It’s my signature scent! Can’t wait to wear it in the Winter! A real spirit lifter🌟
A rhubarb flanker would be nice. Something along the lines of Jo's Rhubarb from Zara but longer lasting. Maybe a dash a cranberry and mint...niiice.
I recieved my D & G LB forever great presentation fabulous scent all around it's a awesome smelling grapefruit. Love it home run
I bought this yesterday. I can't believe how realistic the grapefruit is in this. It's a love for me dawg!!🤣🤣
Bought the 100 mil 6 weeks ago and have 60 mil left ! It’s the new king of summer frags !
Just Got it! FIRE! Whoa! WOW! Yeah the Grapefruit SOUR Zesty Zinger Opening. Wow.
I haven’t liked any of the Light Blue fragrances, but I love this one…I’ve smelled Forever a couple times now. I’ll buy it once it hits discounters.
Blind buy worthy?
@@ComicmanImaginator if you love grapefruit bitter juice, yes!

Performance?

I doesn’t smell synthetic I agree but I’m not into the scent overall
I prefer dglb intense

Love this fragrance. When I finish my tiny bottle. I'm going to buy a bigger one.
Which better this one or light bleu eau intense?
Me too👏🔥
@@chuckyyzz3678 better in terms of what? The better one is the one YOU like best
Don't wait too long, it is at this state only a summer edition and may not be produced in the fall any more
Blind buy worthy? Hows performance?

Great designer release, the grapefruit note is outstanding! My favourite light blue flanker ahead of Eau Intense.
Tested this out at ulta last week after all the hype…returned 5 hours later to pick it up. Great designer release. SUPER rare I buy before discounters but I couldn’t help myself.
Looks like I'm getting a bottle for summer here in Australia!
Same here mate! 🇦🇺
Its on my list when summer arrives
Trying to decide which to buy next between eau intense and forever... 🤔🤷♂️
I've smelled neither.
I already bought one few days it was love at first sight
A very nice violet leaf note too! I’d love this in cold weather too

Great review and I enjoyed it and I like this fragrance and I give it a 9 out of 10 and have a blessed day
Im a woman and I LOVE this fragrance. Im planning to buy it and wear it myself. I feel like this is very unisex and so fresh. Its just PERFECT imo.
They make a women’s version
I just bought this,when I tested it I was like "wow this smell nice" and I chose between this and aqua di gio abaolu and I picked this one
This one actually projects like crazy off of my skin and it honestly lasts 6-8 hours on my skin.
Same for me

LaBelle just got it in. Order is in and can't wait to get it in! They also have Explorer Blue now.
It's really hard to find the 100ml here in the UK, and finally, I got it today and I just love it.
I ordered mines waiting for it to come should be here by Saturday
This cologne is the only cologne i am like completely enamored with the smell first time i put it on my hand I was completely floored
Does it get compliments?

Would you recommend Light Blue Forever as a Signature Gym Scent ?
Dont know why, got a headache from this parfume, it just came in.. sending it back immediately.
Is the light blue intense worth getting along side forever?
I will have to agree with you ash this scent is by far the best in the light blue line next to Eau Intense I smelled it once at Macy's and it just was so fresh and the citrus grapefruit scent is amazingly real smelling!!!!!
Grapefruit kills it for me I was so excited for it
Hi Ash. Please do Light & Blue Forever VS jonh varvatos Artisan Pure? Thank You.
Tested it on paper and it was amazing. The dry down was just as awesome as the opening. I wonder how it performs on skin.
I wear LBI in winter too to get that cold ocean winds impression
Been looking for a blue fragrance, picking this up on payday
Which one is better light blue intense or light blue forever?
The fuzzy coating is called flocked they can spray everything with it like plastic animals ect . Ps love your channel Ash ! Your the best !!
Ash, any resemblance to Encre Noire Sport, since that also plays with grapefruit and vetiver?
I just bought it and it is amazing!
I have Eau Intense and LOVE it so I will be getting this one!
sooooo, this is better than Fila? I'll have to check this one out, sounds great.
I got it the second day arrived in the UK. I love it so much! I want to spray it every day ❤️
Finaly! been w8ign for this one, i'm planing to stock up this one, this is gonna be a discontinued gem in a few years.
Is it worth buying if you already have bleu de chanel and Versace eau fraiche?
Literally bought a 100ml from Belk yesterday for $74.00. Put it on immediately and I love it.
Appreciate the great review,
Take care from Montréal, Québec
If i buy it now, July 2022, will it smell and last the same as yours?. Has it been reformulated?
I buy my bottle Forever immediately when he got came in store. And i love this scent, is very gourgeous 🔥👏
I gave it a try but the grapefruit is just to much plus I’m allergic to grapefruit gonna have to try another one really wanted to get it though .
I bought Prada Luna Rossa Carbon imo it really doesn't last long what should I do :////
Take a sniff of the femme line… Blood Lemon in place of the grapefruit!!! Same realistic vibe
performes it better than light Blue Intense ??
I tried it at Sephora last week. Was disappointing. Nothing special to me. I'll have to try again to see if I missed something. But not optomistic, since I don't even like eating grapefruit :--) . I suggest trying first.
You have fantastic taste man !
I'm getting my light blue forever Friday. I got the men's and women. It the best light blue both men and women. I like women's love its love I don't love light blue but 2021 flanker is great.
Thanks alot man! Hype this and I was hoping to keep this low key! Lol
Went to macys today with intentions to buy this but it smelled so stongly of a grapefruit peel I couldn't pull the trigger. It's not like I don't like realistic after all Terre de hermes is my favorite scent.
I think is a hippie posy fragrance. Love it!
