The house

More from Dolce&Gabbana

Dolce&Gabbana is an Italian fashion house that dates from 1985, and its perfumes carry the warmth of the Mediterranean south. The range splits two ways. Sicilian lemon, apple and cedar keep one side crisp and bright, while vanilla, jasmine and black cherry make the other sweet and close. Start with Light Blue, sharp citrus over clean woods, made for July. Devotion goes the other way, with soft, sugared vanilla and white flowers. The Only One Eau de Parfum Intense sits in between. For men, The One Gold For Men is aromatic and gently spiced. A 3ml of each shows you which side you are on.
