Oh glorious glorious bottle of perfume, how you've touched my soul, my senses, my life.
Okay maybe I'm over doing it, but seriously by far Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue, has been my all time favorite scent since I first discovered it. Period.
My sister was the one who first introduced me to the scent. She said that it smelled like hamster chips, and handed her bottle off to me. I fell in love. How could she not like this stuff? Granted it smells a wee bit like hamster tank....it also has fragrances that no other perfume has ever captured.
Cedar-wood with a refreshing and uplifting hint of citrus. Combined creating the most wonderful scent my nose hairs have ever risen to.
Besides all that yummy nose tickling goodness, Dolce & Gabbana Light Bluelasts, and lasts. A small spritz to your jacket, and the scent will stay all day long, and will even be recognizable into the next.
Overall:
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue is a wonderful outdoorsy fragrance. While it is rugged, it is at the same time, also very, very feminine. A truly uplifting scent. I recommend it for everyday wear.
Will not disappoint.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Refreshing Body Gel
When I first fell in love with Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Perfume, I knew right away that I wanted to stock up on everything, and anything that I could find that was made using the Light Blue scent.
I was able to find a slew of products, and Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Refreshing Body Gel was one of them.
The Refreshing Body Gel is a little less expensive than the body cream, so if you are in the market for a body lotion/cream, I'd recommend the body gel, simply because it is nearly $20.00 cheaper.
It comes in a 6.7 ounce squeeze tube, and features the very same Light Blue scent that fans already know and love.
I however wouldn't necessarily label this one a gel, because in reality it is more like a more runny type of lotion. It is semi trasnparent white, and works in the same manner body lotion would work.
You do have to be careful though, because the smallest squeeze will release a ton of the gel. It is very runny, so I recommend just tipping it over, and the gel will run out of the top for you.
I usually apply it directly after a shower, using Light Blue Shower Gel. I layer them for longer lasting scent.
The 'gel' absorbs super quickly, and will be dry on skin in a matter of just a few seconds.
I love the scent, it has the same cedar wood and citrus scent that it's sister perfume does. Sadly though, if you don't layer this body gel with the perfume, it will not last as long. It still has long lasting scent. But I find that you get more when you layer.
Overall:
For me Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Refreshing Body Gel is a really nice product. It's a nice kick of energy for after a shower, absorbs fast, and leaves behind a gorgeous layer of the Light Blue scent.

Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Refreshing Body Cream
I purchased Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Refreshing Body Gel a few months ago. At the same time though I also picked up a more expensive bottle of Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Body Cream.
It sports the same glorious Light Blue scent fans already know and love, however instead of having a runny watery consistency, the cream has a much thicker texture to it. For me I would compare it to a body butter mixed with a body cream.
A very thick texture, but it absorbs with ease nonetheless.
What I love about it, is the fact that even though it is a thick cream, it does not leave behind a greasy residue. It simply absorbs into skin, leaving behind nothing but soft scented skin.
The scent (like all Light Blue products I have used) is long lasting. I find that layering the cream on top of the body gel works best. After applying the cream I will then spritz with the perfume for all day long scent.
Moisturizer?
I can't recommend Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Refreshing Body Creamto those looking for relief for dry skin. Although this cream leaves skin feeling soft, it does not do much when it comes to long lasting moisturization.
If you are after long lasting Light Blue scent though, I highly recommend the Body Cream.
It is a bit pricey, but if you are a true Light Blue lover, it is a must have. The scent will last long even if it is not layered. So for me, it's a winning product. One I buy time and time again.

Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Deodorant Spray
When I first came across Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue Deodorants, I was thrilled, yet at the same time nervous to make the purchase.
I have a loving relationship with my Degree bar deodorant, and hoped that switching over to Dolce & Gabbana wouldn't upset my pits. They are picky... the littlest change could cause them to cry! Hah!
I went ahead and purchased the Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Deodorant Spray for Women, even though I found the price to be a little absurd. Dare I fill you in on how much I threw down on this stuff? Okay...call me crazy, but I dropped nearly $40.00 on the 5 ounce spray can.
Yep...spray can. The Deodorant Spray is your regular ol' aerosol spray can. Although I have never been a fan of spray deodorants, I still HAD TO HAVE IT when I came across it.
Scent:
I was hoping that the Deodorant Spray would have that cedar wood and citrus scent that Light Blue has. The Deodorant Spray did have that initial scent when I sprayed it, but like anything that comes from an aerosol can, it also had that smoggy hair spray like after scent to it.
To be honest, I was not very thrilled with it, but I still liked it. I did however wish it didn't have that chemically undertone to it.
My Use:
I sprayed some under my pits, and made my way out to work.
I smelled fresh and delish, and not a bead of sweat had formed. Then at around noon, I felt my right pit begin to cry. Yep! Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Deodorant Spray sucked.
After my right pit began to cry, my left pit must of felt sympathy for it, because it too joined in on the cry fest. Ugh! Wet pits! Great!
Overall:
The Light Blue scent is off due to the chemicals in the aerosol can, and the spray offers absolutely no protection to sweat.
I'd say put on your regular deodorant first, and then the Light Blue Deodorant Spray, but seeing how it is so expensive, I can't even recommend it for that purpose.
