Dolce Vita Parfum

Dolce Vita Parfum is for me personally a travel back in time. Upon smelling it I was transported to 1995, being a teen with a love of perfumes, I just happened to smell this divine perfume in my best friend's home, her mum was wearing it. I loved everything about it, scent, bottle and name. It was the first release of Dolce Vita, the EDT. The Parfum version is exactly that smell, a bit more potent and long lasting (mind you the early edts were very strong). It saddens me to see that today's edt is a ghost, a cheap replica of its former glorious self. The Parfum is so expensive to source and I will treasure my 7.5 ml bottle for as long as I can. Love it is an understatement.

I started wearing Dolce Vita when it was was first released in the 90's. I used the body products also. After a multi-year hiatus, I found the vintage Parfum online for a song, so I picked it up. It was delivered today! This is the best version of Dolce Vita I have every tried (I have never tried the reformulation, and don't really plan to.) It is very potent, so just a touch or two is needed - no more. I've read reviews that describe the scent as "sunshine in a bottle". I live in San Diego and will definitely be wearing Dolce Vita Parfum often this summer!

Oh my gosh, this has the Lutens DNA running through its veins! I could have wished Dior took Feminite as well! It’s fruitier, muskier, woodier and more powdery. Even the citruses when pumped up don’t bother the composition. Everything lends a fermented and wine-like quality. Impeccably done. Plus, there’s quite a cosmetic feel at the end of each whiff, perhaps the heliotrope. It feels more compact and I can feel the rose here with that jammy quality. Perfection.

Dior Dolce Vita parfum extrait smells quite similar to the original EDT. It feels like a 15-25% more concentrated version of the EDT - brighter, sweeter, happier and sunnier. -Dolce Vita fan-

More sensual, luxury and richer than original.
