Dolce & Gabbana Variety

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet.

It opens on aldehydes, basil and citruses, moves through carnation, marigold and coriander, and settles on sandalwood, vanilla and musk.

• aldehydes: the fizzy, soapy sparkle that makes a classic perfume smell like perfume rather than like any one ingredient
• basil: green peppery herb, straight out of a kitchen

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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