If you like…

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue opens with lemon, apple and cedar and settles into cedar, musk and amber. If you like it and want something in the same spirit, whether for variety, a different price or another season, these are the closest matches in our catalog.

None of them is a copy. Each one shares part of the character of Light Blue and takes it somewhere slightly different, which is what makes them worth trying.
