Dolce & Gabbana D & G Light Blue vs Ajmal Aurum Summer

Near match

Ajmal Aurum Summer has most of Dolce & Gabbana D & G Light Blue's accords, but not at the same strength, so it reads as a near match rather than a copy.

They share 7 of Dolce & Gabbana D & G Light Blue's 8 main accords: citrus, woody, fresh and fruity.

Ajmal Aurum Summer costs about 33% of the price, around €29 against €88.

On skin they last about as long and project about as far.

What you give up: sicilian lemon, bellflower and bamboo, which Ajmal Aurum Summer does not list.
