The original Dolce: Not a Granny White Floral

Believe it or not, I have never smelled the original Dolce by Dolce&Gabbana. I am a fan of most of the flankers but the OG somehow slipped through my hands. Shame on me!

The original Dolce from 2014 deserves a bit of an introduction. The bohemian chic style fashion house Dolce&Gabbana named after two Italian men Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana places a great emphasis on their Sicilian heritage and this is apparent throughout their designs in dressmaking and in perfumery. Their most significant perfume breakthrough was with The One for men and The One for women leaving the Dolce line in the background.

Dolce the scent is fresh floral, at the first sniff, something you have definitely smelled before. Yet, it has a moment of surprise. There is this unusual note of papaya and amarillys flower which both add sweet fruity nuances to the fragrance. Technically, Dolce is a straight forward floral; however, the juicy fruity aspect is a catch and adds spark to what would otherwise be a boring white floral.

I am happy with it. It is an easy reach grab and go type of perfume that you can get for a reasonable price. It is a feminine combo but not overly girly, very office appropriate and versatile. It is a nice fragrance in your collection because when the spring hits, you can wear it all the time. I have 80ml. I am curious to see if this goes fast as expected or I will forget about it in no time.
