The Essence of Summer in A Bottle
For many, Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue has a nostalgic air. It’s an old acquaintance, but not one easily forgotten. And why would it be? This is an impressive perfume, sensual and irresistible, reflecting the joy of a light breeze with a touch of sweetness. It’s summer condensed into one bottle — infused with the utmost freshness for a (deservingly) iconic scent.
Light Blue first debuted in 2001. This timeless fragrance is the work of Olivier Cresp, the master perfumer behind iconic fragrances such as Angel by Thierry Mugler and YSL’s Mon Paris. Since its release, D&G’s Light Blue Eau de Toilette has won several perfume awards, including being named one of the most innovative scents of the century at the Museum of Arts and Design in NYC.
Dolce And Gabbana’s Light Blue line of perfumes have a distinctly contemporary touch, with a very clean, light, and fresh scent. Its overall profile teases light, floral notes, with subtle hints of wood throughout.
Light Blue starts bright and citrusy, combining Sicilian citron, fresh apple, and spontaneous bluebells for a delightfully fruity scent. The middle notes contain elements of bamboo and white rose, giving the fragrance some feminine nuances. Under all of this — a light, chaste jasmine scent. As we reach the perfume’s depths, we find notes of amber, cedar, and musk.
The softer characteristics of Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Perfume may appeal to women more than men. But despite its floral citrus scent, the scent is not overly feminine. On the contrary, it’s a balanced, pleasant fragrance that many men might appreciate just as well. In fact, it is so well suited for both genders that D&G has since released masculine flankers of its original, such as the Light Blue Pour Homme Eau de Toilette.
Sometimes it’s nice to wear something light, airy, and not overpowering; Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue is perfect for that. Light Blue’s sillage is pretty typical — the fragrance will leave a soft scent trail without taking over a room. Even though it’s light, people will still be able to tell you’re wearing something nice, so you’ll have no trouble getting compliments. Light Blue should last for approximately six hours — good enough for most social situations, such as work or a day out with friends.
Summer and spring are the best seasons for Light Blue. With its nature-inspired scent, this fragrance is perfect for warmer weather. The scent is fresh and decidedly casual, making it ideal for wear during the day rather than at night, when more sophisticated notes may be preferable.
Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue is sold as an Eau de Toilette Spray and Intense Eau de Parfum Spray, with the latter offering a more refreshing vibe over the original.
Indulgent, playful, and full of energy: Dossier’s Citrus Green Apple is a Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue dupe with the same invigorating notes of sparkling citrus and cedarwood. Taking its lead from the same coastal vistas that inspired Dolce & Gabbana, our Light Blue replica perfectly captures the magic and romance of an Italian summer spent with someone you love.
