Dolce&Gabbana Dolce Rosa Excelsa

by: Sanja Pekic

Launched in 2014 with the Dolce fragrance, the eponymous collection from Dolce&Gabbana expanded in 2015 with Dolce Floral Drops, and is welcoming the new flanker Dolce Rosa Excelsa in early 2016. As with the previous editions,Dolce Rosa Excelsa evokes Sicily and the Italian woman, the main sources of inspiration of the designer duo.

The composition begins with exotic fruity papaya blossom and fresh neroli leaves. The signature ingredient of the collection, white amaryllis, is located in the heart of the composition, together with white water lily and white daffodil. The heart further on seduces with two types of roses: the first time ever used African Dog rose and Turkish rose absolute. The musky, woody and slightly piquant base includes accords of sandalwood, musk and cashmere.
