Enchantment Blue

Notes & Nuances

Enchantment Blue opens with a bright grapefruit and mandarin accord. The citrus is present, but leans slightly more candied than the sharply realistic citrus in Light Blue Eau Intense. Quickly, the marine accord surfaces, supported by a juniper note that adds a pleasant, gin-like dryness. The saltwater effect is achieved, although it lacks some of the nuanced saltiness found in the D&G original; this clone utilizes a more straightforward calone-heavy approach. The base of musk and amberwood provides a clean, woody finish. The amberwood is noticeable, lending a modern, slightly synthetic edge in the far drydown. It's a solid interpretation, hitting approximately 90% of the Light Blue Eau Intense target. The main deviation lies in the slightly less refined citrus and a more pronounced, synthetic amberwood.

Is it Worth It?

Enchantment Blue is a competent clone for those seeking the Light Blue Eau Intense experience on a budget. The synthetic amberwood in the drydown might be a deal-breaker for some. However, if you're not hyper-sensitive to aroma chemicals, it's a worthwhile alternative. Buy this if you want a solid, affordable summer scent that captures the essence of the original.

The Performance Stats

Projection is moderate for the first hour, radiating within arm's length. After that, it settles closer to the skin. Longevity is respectable, clocking in at around 6-7 hours on my skin. It's not a powerhouse, but it's sufficient for a warm-weather fragrance. Respraying won't hurt.
