Fragrance Notes
Dolce
Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Eau de Parfum opens on neroli and papaya, a soft white floral brightness with a fruit note behind it that reads creamy rather than juicy. Neither element is loud, and the fragrance establishes its lightness in the first moments.
Amaryllis, daffodil and water lily make up the heart, a green and watery set of flowers, with the daffodil adding a slight bitterness that stops the whole thing turning sugary. Cashmeran, musk and sandalwood close it, and the flowers go powdery and warm against that quiet wood. The movement is from bright neroli through cool florals into a soft musky base, and Dolce stays airy the entire way; the aquatic and powdery sides of it are more defining than any single flower in the list.
Dolce & Gabbana launched Dolce in 2014. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana founded the house in 1985 and run it from Milan, and they cite Sicily as their central inspiration.
Moderate longevity and moderate sillage make this a close-wearing scent rather than a room-filling one, which suits its lightness. It wears in all four seasons and sits easily at work, on casual days and on a night out, since there is nothing in it that will dominate a room. The green and yellow floral freshness makes warm weather the easiest fit, but the powdery base keeps it wearable in the cold as well.
