PowderyWhat does Dolce Vita (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with magnolia, rose and lily of the valley in a floral start. In the heart, apricot and peach bring a fruity sweetness, while cinnamon warms it with spice. The base of heliotrope, vanilla and sandalwood dries down soft, powdery, woody and oriental.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Voters pick all four seasons almost equally, with fall and spring slightly ahead, and lean towards evening and daily wear. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine, and some as classic.
