Dolce & Gabbana, Dolce Garden Eau de Parfum

I know it’s really cold in the UK and most of us will be reaching for fragrances that are perhaps a little more spice based but frankly I’m not a fan. My preference is always going to lean towards fruity and altogether more floral scents and not even a threat of snow could make me change my mind. My recent find is Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Garden Eau de Parfum which allows me to pretend that I’m strolling around in the midst of Spring rather than the deepest, darkest days of Winter.

It’s seldom that I don’t fall hard for just about any Dolce & Gabbana fragrance, as a perfume house they seemingly have the magic touch and seamlessly blend floral and gently fruity notes quite like no other. If you are in the market for a modern take on an oriental floral scent then I highly suggest visiting Notino, trying out Dolce & Gabbana Garden Eau de Parfum; light, airy, able to stand out in a crowd and suited to both night and day wear.

I think part of my reason for all but collecting Dolce & Gabbana scents is that they do tend to use fairly quirky notes and this launch is no different. Garden is a delicate blend of unsuspecting bright Tangerine, luxurious Neroli and gentle Magnolia; this is coupled with Frangipani, Coconut, Ylang-Ylang and a creamy base of Almond Milk, Vanilla and Sandalwood.

In my mind it manages to capture all the best parts of the warmer seasons and of course weather too; the first days of Spring and all the bright, blooming flowers paired with milky, almost sun lotion-like notes of almond and coconut. Despite all the unusual additions this manages the impossible and is not overly youthful, in fact it has an air of sophistication that lends its self well to any occasion or environment.
