Like a breath of Dolce Vita with the new fragrance from Dolce Gabbana: Light Blue Forever Pour Homme. The house of Dolce Gabbana has always been deeply attached to its Italian roots. It has therefore never missed an opportunity to honor them, particularly in its perfumes. This is how Light Blue was born in 2001, before being extended into a masculine edition in 2007.
In 2021, the house of Dolce & Gabbana signs a brand new creation named Light Blue Forever pour Homme. Does it not seem entirely unfamiliar? That is entirely normal. It is a contemporary extension of the iconic Light Blue collection, whose first fragrance was born in 2001. This time, Dolce & Gabbana delivers to us the fragrance of an eternal love. This fragrance comes in an elegant azure blue bottle, evoking the Mediterranean. In terms of composition, it is a particularly contrasted juice for men. Here is a breakdown of its composition.
The citrus top notes of Light Blue Forever pour Homme
Light Blue Forever pour Homme owes its existence to perfumer Shymala Maisondieu, who brings her signature to the Light Blue collection by Dolce & Gabbana for the very first time. To begin with, to evoke the freshness of the seaside, the creator relies on a blend of citrus. It must be said that men are particularly fond of citrus scents. These are always particularly present in masculine compositions, especially in the top notes. To preserve a very zesty side, Shymala Maisondieu relies on cold-pressed grapefruit. Here, it unfurls its bitter and refreshing breath. It is paired with Italian bergamot, a fruit resulting from the crossing of the bitter orange tree and the lemon tree.
The green and ozonic heart of Dolce & Gabbana
Next, let us not forget that Capri is an area of the globe swept by sea spray. It is located in the Bay of Naples. And what could be better than a salty breath to evoke this small island of only 10 square kilometers? For this, Shymala Maisondieu chose to head toward an ozonic accord. Refreshing and invigorating, it is meant to be slightly salty. In the heart of Light Blue Forever pour Homme by Dolce & Gabbana, it is paired with violet leaves, greener and slightly powdery, naturally elegant.
A final woody breath of vetiver
Finally, Light Blue Forever pour Homme closes with a final woody accord. This is, in fact, where it makes all the difference from its predecessors. Indeed, in this new composition, the perfumer reuses many ingredients that made Light Blue successful, such as citrus or musk. Vetiver, on the other hand, comes as an addition. Particularly pronounced, it is the differentiating element of this composition. It gives Light Blue Forever pour Homme by Dolce & Gabbana a more pronounced virility and excellent longevity. Some will indeed find fault with this ingredient for being a bit too present, at the risk of somewhat overpowering the fragrance's other raw materials. Be that as it may, it is unquestionably a deliberate choice by Shymala Maisondieu. Since Italians have character, Light Blue Forever pour Homme lacks none either.
