CreamyWhat does Dolce Shine smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so expect a light, easygoing scent. Most voters pick spring and summer, while fall and winter play a smaller part. Voters mostly describe it as feminine and modern.
It opens with mango, grapefruit and quince, a fruity, citrus-bright start. Aquatic notes, jasmine and orange blossom give the heart a floral, watery feel. In the base, blond woods, white musk and Australian sandalwood soften it into something sweet and creamy. Jil Sander Sun Summer Edition 2020 and Nina Ricci Nina L'Eau have a close profile.
