Fragrance Notes
Dolce
Two varieties of the same flower sit at the centre of Dolce Eau de Parfum 75ml, from Dolce & Gabbana, and the distinction between them is the point of the fragrance.
Jasmine is the first and the heavier: lush, sweet and slightly animal underneath, the material that has anchored white floral perfumery for a century. Sambac jasmine is the second, and it is a different thing in practice, greener and brighter with a leafy freshness and a faint tartness that pulls the whole composition upward. Set side by side, they give the scent both weight and lift, which a single jasmine never manages alone. Mimosa is the third material, powdery and soft, with the gentle dustiness of pollen, and it blurs the edges of the flowers so the result feels worn rather than sprayed.
That is the entire row. Three materials, no bright opening, no base arriving later, and the fragrance is better understood as a portrait of one flower than as a journey. It dates from 2014.
Eau de parfum concentration suits it. White flowers need oil behind them to last, and at this strength the composition stays legible for hours and warms rather than thins as it goes. It stays reasonably close to the skin, so two sprays are enough, and it is more wearable in an office than a jasmine this rich usually is. The 75ml bottle is the practical middle size, big enough for regular wear without the commitment of the largest. It is aimed at women and best in spring and summer.
Dolce & Gabbana has been an Italian fashion house since 1985, founded and still creatively run by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. Shiseido has made and sold its fragrance under an exclusive worldwide licence since October 2016.
