Dolce & Gabbana Q

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry.

It opens on sicilian lemon, blood orange and jasmine, moves through cherry and heliotrope, and settles on musk and cedar.

• blood orange: orange with a darker, slightly berry-like sourness
• jasmine: a rich white flower, heady and full. Up close it turns slightly animal, which some people love and others find too much

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
