On screen, this romance is played by models Linda Helena and Diego Villarreal. The result is a wild stroll through the desert, an unexpected encounter. An intense flame ready to ignite an uninhibited couple, full of passion.
The typically Italian inspiration of Dolce & Gabbana
Q by Dolce & Gabbana is not limited to the mere photograph of a couple immortalized by Steven Klein. It is also a fragrance with a very Mediterranean inspiration, as if to echo the Italian origins of Dolce & Gabbana. This resurfaces in the portrait of a strong and charismatic woman, as well as in the chosen ingredients. The scene is set from the top notes of this fragrance, brilliantly combining Sicilian lemon and blood orange.
Q by Dolce & Gabbana, a gourmand quality one cannot resist
Of course, the sun-kissed citrus of the Mediterranean are not the only ones occupying this fragrance. In fact, Q by Dolce & Gabbana is even akin to a sweet gourmand delight, capable of making the mouth water within seconds. For Q by Dolce & Gabbana, the house set its sights on a deep red cherry. Its fruity notes are a true delight! Its sweet and tangy flavor carries us into a bold register, nevertheless softened by a few jasmine and heliotrope flowers. Finally, for greater persistence, Q by Dolce & Gabbana closes with final woody and animalic notes of cedar and musk.
Dolce & Gabbana signs an imperial bottle
The bottle of Q by Dolce & Gabbana, meanwhile, is just as original as the rest of this creation. Far from going unnoticed on the perfume shelf, it is adorned with a very creative detail: an oversized cap, taking the shape of a royal crown. Golden and red, it also echoes the cherry contained at its heart. The consistency between all the elements of this fragrance is perfect! If you have always dreamed of playing the sovereign woman, this fragrance is for you!
