Fragrance Friday: Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue Summer Vibes

It is just me or does it feel like everyone is either off to, or currently enjoying warmer climes right now? In particular, the hot, salty shores of the Med. I know I have less of a reason to whine considering that was me this time last year, but still…
Thankfully, Dolce&Gabbana has come to the rescue with the perfect scent to capture a summer in the sun wherever you are, with the latest incarnation of its iconic Light Blue fragrance – Summer Vibes.
Drawing inspiration from the Italian holiday dream and the energy of a bright, vibrant summer by the sea, Light Blue Summer Vibes offers two fresh, delicious, limited-edition fragrances crafted specifically to bottle the perfect, sunny day.
Made in Italy using only the highest quality raw materials, Light Blue Summer Vibes for him and her epitomise the craftsmanship and attention to detail inherent in Dolce&Gabbana’s DNA, from the uniquely beautiful scent profiles to the majolica print that embellishes the iconic bottles.
Crafted by master perfumer Olivier Cresp, the iconic fragrance Light Blue Pour Femme now sports fruity notes and a woody touch in its newest incarnation, a point of difference that I personally love. Keeping the classic base of fresh citrus, flowers, and warm notes, this rendition opens with notes of Calabrian Bergamot, while the heart of the fragrance reveals the sweetness of ripe peaches. A soothing touch of warm cedarwood balances it all out, for a scent that is incredibly wearable no matter where you are in the world.

A creation by way of the famous nose Alberto Morillas, the Light Blue Summer Vibes Pour Homme fragrance, which is part of the woody aquatic aromatic fragrances family, boasts an aromatic freshness thanks to an infusion of Cypress and an additional note of Sicilian Lemon that gives it a sharp but sweet liveliness. As a finishing touch, the pleasant woody warmth of amber makes it subtle but sexy, and I personally would wear this version of Light Blue too.
Lastly, I must make a shout out to the campaign, which once again features the ultimate Light Blue twosome, Bianca Balti and David Gandy. Reportedly “an homage to spontaneity and passion”, the stunning pair lie back in the shade of the nearby faraglioni amidst the crystal-clear waters surrounding the spellbinding isle of Capri. Just gorgeous and so unabashedly Dolce&Gabbana at every touch point. Love!
So, if you’re feeling a Med vibe but stuck in a chilly New Zealand winter, this is most definitely the fragrance for you!
