About This Perfume
Think fresh green blossoms with zesty lime: that is Dolce&Gabbana Velvet Ginestra. It opens with lime (linden) blossom, lydia broom and broom, moves into beeswax, violet and citruses and settles on benzoin. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This fragrance is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2016.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
- Sample first if: floral is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike citrus fragrances.
Around $290.
