This is one of my new favourite perfumes.
Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Eau Intense is floral and fresh, but not sparkling. Rather, it is soft and warm, yet cooling and refreshing. Gentle, reassuring, mellow.
I find it incredibly calming, like the sound of the sea. One spray goes a long way (like the sea again!) I sprayed some onto my scarf one day and I could still smell it the next, in a nice, bottle-fresh way. Brilliant.
It gets lots of compliments too which is always lovely! A fantastic perfume for this time of year, just as we’re starting to feel like summer.
Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Eau Intense 50ml £50.50.
