Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Guide: Women's vs Men's vs Eau Intense

Short answer: the women's Light Blue is a crisp lemon and apple scent. Light Blue Pour Homme is a citrus and herb scent for men. Eau Intense is the same idea made to last longer. If you find the original fades too fast, buy Eau Intense.
