Today we have something different because we have a fragrance for men! Does that make it a cologne? What's the difference between a cologne and a perfume (other than the obvious gender differences, of course)?
Also, have you noticed that men's fragrances are a LOT cheaper than women's? For example, you can get a 2.5 ounce bottle of Light Blue for men for $58, while a 1.6 ounce bottle for women is $68! Let me do the math for you. That means for the men's version, you get 56% more product for 15% less money! WTF?
I say: I would love Light Blue on a guy! It smells really clean, like you just stepped out of a shower. Not too cloying or overpowering. I don't think it's really citrusy, but just a little musky and clean. Yeah, I said clean like 10 times, but I don't know how else to describe it! What do the pros say?
They say: "Drawing upon their native home of Italy, this innovative design team have captured the sensuality of the Mediterranean. A refreshing blend of citrus notes combines perfectly with masculine woods and subtle spice to create a distinctive fragrance that epitomizes relaxed sophistication.
Notes:
Sicilian Mandarin, Frozen Grapefruit Peel, Bergamot, Juniper, Rosemary, Szechuan Pepper, Rosewood, Musk Wood, Incense, Oak Moss."
Oh, I guess it is citrus lol. Frozen grapefruit peel? What the hell does that smell like? Just for fun let's look at the notes of the women's version.
Notes:
Sicilian Citron, Bluebell, Granny Smith Apple, Jasmine Sambac, Bamboo, White Rose, Cedarwood,
Sicilian Citron, Bluebell, Granny Smith Apple, Jasmine Sambac, Bamboo, White Rose, Cedarwood,
Amber, Musk.
Hm, quite different. I wonder why the price difference? Are the women's ingredients more expensive? Is the women's version more potent? (They are both called eau de toilette, though). Are fragrance manufacturer's sexist??
