About This Perfume
Dolce Rosa Excelsa by Dolce&Gabbana is a Floral fragrance for women. Dolce Rosa Excelsa was launched in 2016. Top notes are Neroli and Papaya flower; middle notes are Rose, Turkish Rose, Water Lily, Narcissus and Amaryllis; base notes are Musk, Cashmere Wood and Sandalwood. Launched in 2014 with the Dolce fragrance, the eponymous collection from Dolce&Gabbana expanded in 2015 with Dolce Floral Drops, and is welcoming the new flanker Dolce Rosa Excelsa in early 2016. As with the previous editions, Dolce Rosa Excelsa evokes Sicily and the Italian woman, the main sources of inspiration of the designer duo. The composition begins with exotic fruity papaya blossom and fresh neroli leaves. The signature ingredient of the collection, white amaryllis, is located in the heart of the composition, together with white water lily and white daffodil. The heart further on seduces with two types of roses: the first time ever used African Dog rose and Turkish rose absolute. The musky, woody and slightly piquant base includes accords of sandalwood, musk and cashmere. Canadian model Kate King continues to be the face of the perfume line. The bottle of heavy, frosted glass is painted in soft pink and decorated with a red cap in the shape of a flower. The fragrance is available as 30, 50 and 75 ml Eau de Toilette.
