Fragrance Notes
Dolce
Neroli and papaya open Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Eau de Parfum, the neroli clean and white-floral, the papaya giving it a soft fruit weight with very little sweetness to speak of. The opening is quiet by design.
Amaryllis, daffodil and water lily follow, watery and green, with the daffodil keeping a faint bitter edge in the heart so the flowers stay crisp. The base of cashmeran, musk and sandalwood is powdery and softly woody, and it takes the flowers down gently rather than replacing them. Dolce moves from citrus flower through cool florals into clean musk, and the whole of it stays light; what carries the fragrance is the powdery musk and the aquatic freshness rather than any one floral note.
Dolce & Gabbana launched Dolce in 2014. The house was founded in 1985 by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, is headquartered in Milan, and the founders cite Sicily as their central inspiration.
Moderate longevity and moderate sillage make Dolce a close-wearing scent rather than a room-filling one, so it reaches the people near you and no further. It is wearable in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and suits professional wear, casual days and a night out. The green freshness of the heart makes it most natural in spring and summer, while the powdery cashmeran and musk give it enough warmth for the colder months. This is the 75ml eau de parfum spray.
