Dolce & Gabbana

Light Blue For Women EDT

2001

It smells like every Italian vacation you've ever taken — or desperately want to.

Light Blue For Women
citrus
woody
fresh

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.

  • Widely beloved for good reason — genuinely pleasant

Trade-offs
