Tag-Her

Scent Breakdown

Tag-Her opens with a bright, lemony burst. Sicilian lemon is definitely there, joined by a crisp apple note that leans slightly more artificial than Light Blue's sophisticated Granny Smith. The cedar is present immediately, creating a sharper, almost pine-like edge. The heart offers a watery bamboo accord, alongside hints of jasmine and rose. It's in this phase where the difference from the original becomes most apparent; Tag-Her feels less nuanced, more linear. The drydown brings a pleasant musk and amber warmth, but that initial synthetic cedar lingers. It's approximately 88% similar to Light Blue, but the quality of ingredients is where it falls short.

Performance Reality Check

Longevity is surprisingly good. I get around 5-6 hours on my skin. Projection is moderate for the first hour, then it settles closer. It won't fill a room, but you'll leave a subtle, clean trail. If you prioritize affordability over refined ingredients, and you're not overly sensitive to synthetic notes, then this is a solid choice. For the person who wants to smell clean, fresh, and effortlessly cool without breaking the bank. However, if you crave the true depth and naturalness of Dolce & Gabbana's creation, the original remains the superior option, and may indeed be worth the extra investment. This is for the girl who wants a mimosa...but orders the sparkling lemonade.
