Dolce & Gabbana
Light Blue For Women EDT
“It smells like every Italian vacation you've ever taken — or desperately want to.”
The 2001 launch that defined the modern summer-citrus feminine category — Olivier Cresp's launch for D&G, the apple-and-bamboo composition that became the global blueprint for summer-fresh designer fragrance. Sicilian cedar and apple at the top, a bamboo heart, settling on a clean musk drydown. A summer daytime fragrance.
