Dolce & Gabbana D & G Light Blue vs Paco Rabanne Paco
Near matchPaco Rabanne Paco 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.

Paco Rabanne Paco costs about 50% of the price, around €44 against €88.
On skin they last about as long and project about as far.
What you give up: sicilian lemon, apple and cedar, which Paco Rabanne Paco does not list.
