Dolce & Gabbana Dolce eau de parfum gels are packaged in skincare-inspired metallic applicators for a sensorial experience that swipes on to create a gentle yet lasting fragrance experience. In all, there are three luxurious scents to select from, in non-oily formulas enriched with hyaluronic acid: Dolce; Dolce Violet with blackcurrant bud absolute, mandarin and cyclamen; and Dolce Blue Jasmine with milky notes of Sicilian blue fig.
Alcohol-free fragrances have been gaining ground as consumers with skin-friendly preferences or sensitivities look for gentler ways to wear scent without the dryness or irritation that alcohol-based formulas can cause. Dolce & Gabbana's new perfume gels sit at the natural intersection of this shift, offering a slow-release (up to 16 hours of long-lastingness,) non-irritating solution that applies comfortably without leaving a trace on skin or clothes.
