For 25 years, Dolce&Gabbana's Light Blue has captured the essence of Italian summers, transporting wearers to the picturesque coastline of Capri through its evocative scent. The fragrance, immortalized by its iconic advertising campaign featuring David Gandy and Bianca Balti against the backdrop of the Faraglioni rocks, has become synonymous with Mediterranean allure.
Now, after a quarter-century of success, the brand's Light Blue Eau de Toilette and Light Blue Pour Homme Eau de Toilette are undergoing a meticulous refinement. Master perfumers Olivier Cresp and Alberto Morillas have carefully enhanced the fragrances, developing formulations that promise an extended olfactory experience lasting up to sixteen hours.
Reimagined Design and Sensory Experience
The redesigned packaging reflects the brand's commitment to craftsmanship and luxury. Satin-finished bottles with soft, rounded lines now feature silver metal details, deep blue enameled caps, and traditional majolica-inspired motifs. The silver DG monogram adds a subtle touch of sophistication.
Two new permanent additions to the collection expand the Light Blue universe: Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue Capri In Love Eau de Parfum and its masculine counterpart. These fragrances delve deeper into the Capri narrative, introducing more intense and spiced interpretations.
Nuanced Fragrance Profiles
The women's Capri In Love, created by Emilie Copperman, opens with a delicate jasmine tea note. Crisp apple notes emerge in the heart, supported by a sophisticated spicy base of lungoza. The masculine version, crafted by Alexandra Carlin, presents a complex profile with black pepper's discrete warmth, fig notes adding green luxuriance, and patchouli providing depth and complexity.
These refined iterations maintain the original Light Blue's DNA while offering a contemporary interpretation of Mediterranean sensuality - a testament to Dolce&Gabbana's enduring design philosophy.
