Light Blue Italian Zest
by Dolce&Gabbana
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Italian Zest delivers a vivid, zesty burst of lemon that feels refreshingly real—like freshly squeezed juice with zesty peel. It’s a bright, uplifting citrus scent that leans sweeter than the original Light Blue, with a noticeable lift of bergamot, green apple, and lemon verbena. The drydown evokes a creamy lemon sorbet, softening into vanilla and sandalwood, but remains distinctly Light Blue in character. Longevity is moderate at best, fading significantly within 3 hours, and sillage is moderate to intimate—ideal for warm days without overwhelming others. It’s best suited for daytime summer wear, especially in hot, humid climates where its clean, cooling effect shines. The perfume stands out as the most lemon-centric flanker in the Light Blue line for those seeking a sharper, more authentic citrus note.
