Light Blue Femme

Light Blue was launched by Dolce & Gabbana in 2001. Olivier Cresp composed it with Sicily in mind: Sicilian lemon and bellflower, Granny Smith apple, bamboo, jasmine and rose, over a base of cedarwood, amber and musk. Its films shot in Capri, with David Gandy and, in 2025, Theo James, have made it one of the house’s great successes.

Dolce & Gabbana launched Light Blue in 2001. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana entrusted Olivier Cresp with a fragrance inspired by Sicily, and the women’s eau de toilette gained a men’s counterpart in 2007, Light Blue Pour Homme.

Dolce & Gabbana’s Mediterranean

For Stefano Gabbana, the Italian dolce vita, its spirit and atmosphere, inspired Light Blue, and Capri, the chosen setting, is a fundamental chapter in the house’s history. Dolce & Gabbana sees in it the lightness of a day lulled by the waves against the island’s cliffs.

Twenty-five years later

The fragrance remains one of the house’s great successes. In 2025, for its twenty-fifth anniversary, Olivier Cresp reworked the formula while preserving its olfactory identity, and the bottle was redesigned, with less plastic and new metallic finishes.

The house’s own words

Dolce & Gabbana today presents Light Blue as a fresh and seductive fragrance, created by Olivier Cresp for the house, which blends the sensuality of sun-kissed skin, the Mediterranean breeze and the fruity, floral scents of lush vegetation.

The advertising

David Gandy in Capri, Mario Testino

Films shot in Capri: David Gandy with Anna Jagodzińska and Bianca Balti for Mario Testino, Vittoria Ceretti and Theo James in 2025.

Light Blue’s campaigns take Capri as their setting, facing the Faraglioni. David Gandy was its first face; Anna Jagodzińska joined him in 2010, and Bianca Balti in 2013, in images signed by Mario Testino.

In 2025, for the fragrance’s twenty-fifth anniversary, Gordon von Steiner filmed Vittoria Ceretti and Theo James in Capri, the actor taking up the white swimsuit that had become David Gandy’s signature. Stefano Gabbana says he found in the actor all the qualities of the Light Blue man.
