Very often, Dolce & Gabbana's creations evoke the sweetness of Italian living and the Dolce Vita. It must be said that the house's two designers are not a little proud of their Mediterranean origins. It is thus precisely by evoking Sicily that the very first Dolce fragrance by Dolce & Gabbana was designed, in 2014. In 2023, this feminine fragrance collection continues to grow, with the birth of Dolce Violet.
As its name immediately suggests, the Dolce & Gabbana brand comes from Italy. It was founded, more precisely, by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. Yet they never stop highlighting their homeland. This is how the very first Dolce by Dolce & Gabbana appeared, in 2014. In 2023, it trades its white floral scent for a concentrate of violet. So, how about discovering in more detail the composition of Dolce Violet by Dolce & Gabbana?
Violet, the central element of Dolce Violet by Dolce & Gabbana
As its name and bottle immediately suggest, Dolce Violet by Dolce & Gabbana is a fragrance built essentially around violet. Here it unfolds its enchanting lightness. However, note that its iconic scent has been entirely recreated in the laboratory. Indeed, the traditional enfleurage technique cannot reveal all its olfactory nuances. Only violet leaves can be distilled. Their scent, however, is quite different. Note also that the very fresh, light character of this plant is further enhanced by the addition of cyclamen.
Dolce Violet by Dolce & Gabbana, a fragrance brimming with fruit
For Dolce Violet by Dolce & Gabbana, violet is paired with numerous fruits. In its top notes, it joins a sparkling, zesty Madagascar mandarin. This helps enhance the lightness and vivacity of this fragrance. In its heart, Dolce & Gabbana opted for more sun-drenched and juicy ingredients. Dolce Violet by Dolce & Gabbana contains, more precisely, pear and blackberry.
The more enveloping base of Dolce Violet by Dolce & Gabbana
Finally, Dolce Violet by Dolce & Gabbana gradually gains in persistence in its base notes. Its tangy freshness is balanced by a drier, more sensual and creamy base. This is made up of three ingredients very common in perfumery: sandalwood, Madagascar vanilla, and musk. The first of these is both woody and spicy. Its penetrating scent is softened by a richer, almost honeyed facet. Musk, for its part, reinforces the animalic breath of this creation. The result is a springlike freshness paired with greater sensuality, for a fragrance built entirely on duality.
Dolce Violet by Dolce & Gabbana is a fragrance that clearly puts enchanting violet in the spotlight. Created by Emilie Copperman, it nonetheless releases accents that are sometimes more fruity than floral. From this point of view, it evokes almost more the Parma violet candy than the flower itself. That said, its harmony remains absolutely perfect. Dolce Violet by Dolce & Gabbana offers a perfect balance between sugar, woody persistence, and the tartness of fruit.
