About This Perfume
Light Blue Dreaming in Portofino by Dolce&Gabbana is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women. Light Blue Dreaming in Portofino was launched in 2012. Top notes are Litchi and Ambrette (Musk Mallow); middle notes are Osmanthus and Iris; base notes are Musk, Patchouli and Amber. Dolce & Gabbana launched the famous Light Blue fragrance in 2001, followed by the men's version Light Blue pour Homme six years later. In 2012, this house presented two new editions inspired by the fantastic Mediterranean locations – coastal village Portofino and volcanic island of Stromboli. The new versions are named Light Blue Dreaming in Portofino (for women) and Light Blue Living Stromboli (for men). Light Blue Dreaming in Portofino begins with fresh litchi accord and ambrette seed that lead to the rich floral heart of creamy iris and intense osmanthus. Notes of amber, patchouli and musk leave a velvety trail in the perfume’s base. Available as 50 ml EDT.
