I've been wearing this fragrance for 2 days, not so many guys are wearing it, one of the best fragrances for going on dates and geranium is what I smelled the most. This is fragrance that I go to without smelling like a lot of other guys when going on dates. What are your thoughts about this fragrance?

Let me start with what this fragrance gets right, because it genuinely gets some things very right. The opening is fantastic. The moment you spray it, you get this burst of natural, vibrant citrus that immediately transports you somewhere specific — the Amalfi Coast at golden hour, drink in hand, good company around you, the Mediterranean stretching out in front of you. It's one of those rare fragrances that doesn't just smell good, it conjures a mood. Cool, breezy, effortlessly summery. For about 30 minutes, it's everything a warm-weather fragrance should be. And then it's gone. I understand that summer fragrances are intentionally light — nobody wants a projection monster in 90 degree heat. But even by summer fragrance standards, Light Blue's performance is poor. I stepped outside, came back in, and couldn't detect a trace of it on myself. No gentle drydown, no quiet skin scent lingering in the background — nothing. Thirty minutes and it's done. That's not "light and breezy," that's barely there at all. To be fair, skin chemistry plays a role here. Some people burn through citrus-aquatic constructions faster than others, and if you're one of them, no amount of strategic application is going to save Light Blue. It's just not built with enough of a base to anchor it on skin like mine. The silver lining? It makes an outstanding linen refresher. Spritz it on your sheets or pillowcase and that Mediterranean vibe lingers beautifully — fabric is far more forgiving than skin for this kind of fragrance. So the sample won't go to waste. But as a wearable fragrance, if your skin eats through top-heavy constructions quickly, look elsewhere for your summer scent. The opening will seduce you every time — just don't let it make the buying decision for you. **Bottom line:** Smells incredible for the first half hour. Then it's a ghost. Even for a summer fragrance, the performance just isn't there.

After wearing Alexandria Limited #78 V2, my impression is that this is a fresh fragrance with a lot more going on than your typical citrus scent. Right from the start you get a bright blast of grapefruit, lime, and ginger that feels energetic, crisp, and almost sparkling. It grabs your attention immediately. As it settles, the citrus stays present but becomes smoother with touches of bergamot, pear, green apple, and grapefruit. This keeps it juicy and refreshing without becoming overly sharp or sour. The best part for me is the dry down. The Ambroxan and ambergris create that clean, salty, mineral effect that smells modern, expensive, and very versatile. The added Timbersilk (Iso E Super) gives it a woody backbone that makes the fragrance feel fuller and helps it last. It never gets heavy, sweet, or cloying. Overall, Limited #78 V2 is one of those fragrances that can easily go from the gym to the office to a night out. It smells clean, polished, and effortlessly put together. If you enjoy fresh citrus fragrances with a strong Ambroxan presence and a salty-mineral dry down, this is definitely worth checking out. Rating: 8.8/10 Occasions: Daily wear, office, casual, gym, travel, signature scent. Type of scent for comparison would be to think of Tygar’s fresh, mineral, Ambroxan-driven style with an extra dose of grapefruit, citrus sparkle, and woody depth. Longevity: With the added Ambroxan and Timbersilk/Iso E Super, Iexpect around 8–10 hours, with the first 2–3 hours projecting well, then settling into a clean salty-woody skin scent that keeps hanging around. Not beast mode heavy, but long-lasting fresh.
