Dolce by Dolce & Gabbana Fragrance

Introducing the delicate seduction Dolce by Dolce & Gabbana, the new fragrance that heralds an emotional and sensory journey through the heart of Dolce&Gabbana’s DNA; the noble land of Sicily. To me Dolce exude the femininity and freshness of women an effortless perfection of a single white flower. It’s so pure and delicate but don’t underestimate its power and determination. It embodies the delicate balance between timeless craftsmanship and innovation in the art of perfumed composition.

Dolce is a gentle, feminine mix of white flowers, introduced by the freshness of the Neroli leaves and defined by the White Amaryllis, a South African flower used for the first time ever in scent. The fragrance opens with a brightly-coloured, sweet-smelling explosion of Neroli leaves and Papaya flower, dissipating into a floral bouquet as the core of the fragrance emerges.

A unique and opulent combination of White Water Lily and bold White Daffodil blend perfectly with the full-bodied White Amaryllis. This floral signature is counterbalanced by the background of warm Musky notes, along with the complex accents of Cashmeran; leaving a sensual trail of light woods, earthy tones and piquant spices.

Top Notes: Neroli leaves, Papaya flower

Heart Notes: White Amaryllis, White Daffodil, White Water Lily

White Amaryllis ~ this is a special species of White Amaryllis which grows solely in the Fynbos region of South Africa and has a rich and generous odour, where other white Amaryllis found elsewhere do not. The name has poetic roots and originates from the Greek word "amarysso", meaning: "I give light". It has wide, trumpet blooms. The buds grow at different speeds so each will have a different intensity of scent. The rich, fulsome notes of the White Amaryllis were created using "Headspace Technology" which captures the exact scent of the flower when it is in full bloom without having to cut it and grind the petals to extract the essential oil. Dolce blends this into a fragrance for the very first time.

The packaging is elegant reminiscence of a vintage fragrance flacon. The flacon reveals sparkling glints of the vibrant green juice, as fresh and crisp as the Neroli leaves within. The flower stopper is the signature. It pays tribute to Sicilian customs, crafted to portray the marzipan sculptures seen in traditional Sicilian confectioners. The bud is perfection itself, as unique as the singular mix of ingredients defining Dolce. The petals fan out in three rows, with coloursgraduating from milky-white, through to cream, and soft pink at the centre.

A thin black grosgrain ribbon, presented in an elegant bow, conjures images of the white shirts and bow-ties that were a signature of early Dolce&Gabbana catwalk shows. The same attention has been paid to every facet of the outer packaging: the soft white box’s material as refined and smooth as fine leather.

The final, and most personal, touch: Dolce signed in a flourish of black script, a replica of Domenico Dolce’s father’s own signature. It is underscored by the Dolce&Gabbana logo with a graphic twist of thin black grosgrain ribbon, a perfect contrast of classic and contemporary style.

Her role in Dolce’s television campaign will be her screen debut.
