This summer, Dolce & Gabbana invites you to follow the Capri Stripes with the limited edition of Light Blue Italian Love Pour Femme and Pour Homme. The latest chapter in the Light Blue story introduces new woody notes for a heightened sense of sensuality.
The Light Blue Italian Love Pour Femme is the work of master perfumer Olivier Cresp, the renowned nose who crafted the original Light Blue Eau de Toilette.

The fragrance opens with Light Blue’s iconic top notes, an addictive duo of crisp Granny Smith apple and tangy Calabrian lemon, extracted using the traditional “sfumatrice” technique, which allows the essence and the juice of the lemon to be recovered in its entirety.
The heart of the scent blooms with a feminine bouquet of heady jasmine sambac and pure white rose, made more sensual by a new sweet, floral musky note of ambrette.
This voluptuous heart slowly unfurls to a seductive base with a new woody addiction. The signature trail of Virginia cedarwood, entwined with warm amber and enveloping white musks, is given new texture with the addition of amyris essence, which brings a woody warmth.
Seamlessly blending with hints of vetiver, this subtly balsamic, leathery note enhances the signature woody base with smooth facets of creamy sandalwood.
In the meanwhile, the Light Blue Italian Love Pour Homme reveals a new interpretation of masculine sensuality, crafted by perfumer Shyamala Maisondieu.

Top notes of Italian bergamot and juicy frozen grapefruit—coldpressed from the peel—create a fresh cocktail to open the fragrance, instantly transporting the senses to the iconic citrus groves of Capri.
These sparkling citruses evolve into a new, intensely masculine heart, invigorating green notes combining with violet leaf and the fresh aquatic wave of the ozonic marine accord.
Conjuring the intense azure of the Mediterranean waters, this heart is set against cashmere woods, which develop into a new sensual woody twist as the base unfolds. Earthy vetiver combines with musks and the heady, mysterious note of patchouli, while the full-bodied note of guaiac wood brings new depth and an intriguing sensuality.
