Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Review

I absolutely love this perfume and all the others in the range. I originally brought this as a present for my friend, she loved it and has since used it all. I then got given it my for my birthday, which I was very happy about as I too loved this. Such a nice floral scent, that lasts throughout the day, at the end of the day I can still smell the faint scent of it.

Extremely floral, high end perfume, rather expensive but totally worth it, high oil content as the scent lingers for a very good amount of time, can be overdone as it is quite strong despite it being a floral scent, great if you're wanting a bougie evening scent, but could be a casual spring scent too.

This perfume is honestly flower heaven, I imagine this is what the Garden of Eden smells like. The bottle is a sure eyecatcher, with the white flower and elegant black ribbon bow.

The perfume itself is flowery and a little powdery. Very sophisticated and one that instantly brightens my mood when I wear it. This can suit any weather and occasion, and is one of my staple perfumes that I'd take on holidays in a mini spray bottle. When it's initially sprayed it's really fresh and almost slightly fruity like pears or something. Then it becomes warmer and more flowery as the day goes on.

This has amazing staying power, and you definitely don't need to spray heaps. Overally highly highly recommend this perfume. It's an allrounder that ticks all the boxes.

I love the packaging of this fragrance, it is simple and pretty with the white flower as the lid and a black bow. I find that it lasts a very long time throughout the day which is always a plus with fragrance. The scents together make a very fresh floral scent but it isn't too overpowering. I am not a fan of very strong smelling floral scents as it can be too much, however this is very soft and subtle. I really like it.

I purchased a 50ml of this from Farmers for $62 after using up a 2ml sample in one day, I just couldn't get enough of the sample I had. I totally adore the flower shaped lid, the little black bow. I read that the flower on the lid is reminiscent of marzipan confectionery from Sicily and it certainly does look like a marzipan flower. Upon first spray of this fragrance I do smell neroli which quickly disappears and then I smell water lily which is what I fell in love and the fragrance does last on me for about half an hour which is pretty good for me as my body seems to soak up perfume almost as fast as I spray it on. For me this fragrance starts off promising but dries down to become something quite dull, boring and powdery. I'm definitely still going to keep this as the bottle alone makes a fine addition to my collection but the fragrance isn't something to go bouncing over any hills for.

White flowers are one of my favourite ingredients in a perfume. If the staying power of Dolce was better and the dry down of the scent wasn't so generic I would have loved it. That aside, I can honestly say that I did it enjoy it for what it was but I wouldn't consider repurchasing it again.

I was drawn to the perfume because of its lid (terrible I know) but it reminds me so much of my favourite flower the gardenia. I was quite surprised that the lid wasn't plastic - atleast I don't think it was because it was more solid than I expected. I love how it looks like marble from afar but raised my eyebrow with the black ribbon.

In comparison to D&G's populate Light Blue the sillage is disappointingly low. For me I have to really inhale after one spritz to detect the scent, it's not until I spritz probably 4-5 times I get decent sillage. It's not an issue for me because I am spritz happy but again with perfumes being an EDP I expect wham bam thank you ma'am.

When you first sprtiz this you're led to believe you're going to be smelling of a sweet kiss of warm white flowers and what I detect as pear but it dries down to a rather generic scent that you've probably come across before. It definitely has a feminine and gentle aura about it but it doesn't really last the test of time.

Don't get me wrong the initial spritz is really gorgeous just wish it could hold that scent throughout the day. I bought the 50ml EDP from Farmers and I believe it was going for over $100 but paid $60.00 because of beauty points and special sale so I'm quite glad that I didn't pay full price.

Scents can bring back memories or can set the mood for new experiences, and this is exactly what this fragrance is all about.

In a step away from their usual seductive fragrance repertoire, this perfume is light and feminine, and seems to reflect the freshness of the Sicilian landscape as seen through the eyes of the design duo.

Inspired by a memory, Dolce is a contemporary fragrance with distinctive notes that will always leave an impression. It opens with an explosion of Neroli leaves and Papaya flower, dissipating into a unique combination of White Water Lily, White Daffodil and, White Amaryllis combined by the background of warm Musky notes, along with the complex accents of Cashmeran. The scent is young and fresh, sweet without being overpowering.

An added personal touch is the inclusion of the exact replica of Domenico Dolce’s father’s signature which also builds on the concept of memories and experiences.

It comes in a clear glass bottle with a thin black grosgrain ribbon tied around the base of the white rose shaped lid.

Available as 50 and 75ml, you can find this fragrance online or in various Department Stores.

I spritzed three sprays on at 7 am, left for work, came home after a long day; I'm in the elevator with two men and they look at each other and look at me and ask, "What's that heavenly scent?" So basically right there and then I was sold for life on this amazing fragrance. Someone wrote in another review here that it would be good for Kate Middleton - I'm not a fan of the Duchess but I would agree - this is an elegant, grown-up fragrance that's demure yet there's an earthy - woodsy - tinge to the dry-down that makes this very provocative and sensual. So I'd say this is a fragrance for the elegant woman who is romantic, yes, but above all sensual and arousing. Love this!
