Forget Me Not

Notes & Nuances

Forget Me Not opens with a blast of grapefruit and mandarin – a solid, if somewhat sharp, imitation of Light Blue Eau Intense. It's maybe 86% there. The juicy citrus is present, but lacks the natural zest and rounded edges of the D&G. Quickly, a marine accord emerges, alongside juniper. This is where the divergence happens. The Zara leans a little heavier on the synthetic amberwood in the base from the start, giving it a slightly rougher, more masculine feel compared to Light Blue Intense. The drydown is a fairly simple musky amberwood affair, lacking the refined creaminess found in the original.

The Performance Stats

Longevity is surprisingly decent . I get about 4-5 hours on skin, projecting moderately for the first hour. It's not a beast, but it's enough to get you through a morning or afternoon without needing to respray excessively. point, it's acceptable.

The Verdict

Look, this is a $25 clone. It's not going to fool anyone into thinking you're wearing the real deal. However, it’s a solid, easy-to-wear summer fragrance that captures the essence of Light Blue Eau Intense. Forget Me Not is a great gym scent, a casual everyday grab, or a blind buy for anyone curious about the Light Blue DNA without breaking the bank.
