Hi blog, I have a perfume review for you today. A very pristine one too. For my birthday, I was gifted a perfume that is only available in Europe right now. It is not sold in the United States of America yet. It is the Dolce & Gabbana Fruit Collection. I received the pineapple one. There is three scents, pineapple, lemon and orange. Out of all three I wanted the pineapple because I love pineapple scent the best. I love the fruit pineapple, so I was so excited for this perfume. I just love the theme Dolce & Gabbana has been doing with their clothes, accessories and beauty products this year. It is all very summery, vacation feels with all of the fruits and bright colors they are using. Now, let's jump into the review!
Notes:
A splash of juicy Sicilian mandarin oil enhances the accord of pineapple, while the radiant scent of sun-soaked jasmine sambac creates an exotic, seductive heart. As a final touch, addictive pure vanilla absolute brings out the spicy sensuousness of the orchid pod, accented by facets of amber and moss.
Eau de toilette
Overall: Fruity
Base notes: Vanilla
Middle notes: Jasmine
Top notes: Pineapple, Sicilian Mandarin
Longevity:
I would say this perfume lasts 4 hours. The pineapple is such a strong scent. I also smell the jasmine as the second most powerful scent behind the pineapple obviously. Not so much the vanilla because vanilla hardly ever stands out to me, and I do not know why, haha. Once sprayed on the skin, it starts to fade after a few hours because it is a toilette.
Projection:
This perfume has a really nice projection. It is strong, but not too strong where it can give you a headache. It's fruity, and calming. Whenever I am wearing this perfume people around me can always smell it, and love it because it's relaxing and blissful. I do not like those colognes or perfumes that are so strong, and it is all you smell, and you feel like you cannot get away from it. This perfume is not like that.
Value:
Definitely worth the money. The presentation alone is so elegant and whimsical at the same time. I love the box it came in. I am talking about the white box pictured above, and it is just so sturdy, very high quality. I leave the perfume in there, so nothing happens to it. I also love the cute pineapple on top of the bottle. It is magnetic on the inside for an easy close. I also like how the bottle feels like glass too. Overall, so over the type, high-quality, perfection.
Scent: 10/10
Longevity: 8/10
Presentation: 10/10
Projection: 9/10
Value: 10/10
All in all, I highly recommend this perfume. I am so grateful for receiving it. I was not expecting to. This is currently my favorite perfume. I get so scared to use it at times, because I do not want to use it all up. It is just so fabulous. I will put the link again here, so you can try it out for yourself. Trust me, you will love it.
Xoxo,
