Dolce Lily

Summer in a bottle. One of my favorite treats in the summer is to crunch on the passionfruit seeds in my iced tea. Dolce Lilyʻs opening is almost purely passionfruit, and smells just like the syrupy seeds that they use at tea stands. After a couple of hours, the sweet, tart passionfruit begins to fade and the florals emerge. As for what those florals are, I usually get a blend of the rose and lily, but there have also been times where I was getting just rose, or just lily. I can definitely see why some reviewers can’t detect lily at all, while some say it’s too much lily. If you are looking for a definitively lily fragrance, be sure to try this on your skin first and don’t blind buy, as this fragrance doesn’t always give off lily, despite the name.

Passionfruit all the way. If you like the smell of that fruit, you should try this one. I love it because it's an uplifting, cheerful fragance and it's also fresh without being too sweet. I bought it because we are in summer here in Argentina. I love that it's called "dolce", but it's more fresh than sweet. I don't like sweet perfumes. I see this one as a safe, innocent, young and not strong perfume. I have a very sensitive nose so I like this one very much :)

I really loved it, not sure why the reviews are so negative, to me in the opening it has a really nice pasion fruit +citrus smell which I loved, after some time it turned to a really soft, vanilla-flowery smell. It lasted more than 7 hours on my skin and even after a shower it still left a soft vanilla scent on my skin. My advice for any perfume, if it works for you and your skin, the reviews won’t matter.

I really like this perfume, although it is soft and delicate scent. It is very juicy, sparkling, unique and fresh fruity-floral fragrance. I am used to wear strong scents, therefore I ́m sad, that it is a little bit weak - lasts about 3-4 hours if you overspray yourself. But definitely, as it is really my favourite scent at the moment, I can say, buying it was worth it. Love for a spring-summer period.

divinely sweet!! as someone who doesnt typically prefer florals, this fragrance is the perfect balance i've been looking for. deliciously fresh scent & super charming! very fruity over the florals, but the perfect girly mix. literally everyone loves it! i keep a miniature bottle on hand with me at all times :) neccessity!

100% agree with previous comments that this is a fruity smelling fragrance. Very sweet tropical fruit smelling when worn in hot weather and becomes lighter almost sweet tea like in cooler weather. Might be deem too sweet smelling if you are not into gourmand or more used to florals.

Beautiful perfume with a clean lily scent that isn't overpowering. A hint of a green tea smell in there as well. Although it's not a note, it's likely the mix of everything and it's nice.

i sprayed it in an ulta recently and instantly fell in love. Juicy Fruity goodness. Perfect for spring and summer.

I first wore this perfume before I had read what the notes are - all I knew was that it was called Dolce Lily and had a bright pink bottle. Immediately, I thought I must be having a problem with my sense of smell because I couldn't smell any lily at all, just tart, juicy passionfruit. A few minutes in, I could smell a bit of spicy rose. I don't know what's going on with whoever names the Dolce line, but none of them have been named appropriately, in my opinion! I actually really like this fragrance (maybe my favorite Dolce?), but I'm sure a sizable portion of that is that I love passionfruit and am neutral on lily, so the actual scent was a very pleasant surprise. As some have mentioned, this really doesn't last very long, but it's perfect for a hot summer day while it does!

Ahhh, I expected more a more floral-forward perfume, but this is primarily fruity! However, it's really, really pretty and the passionfruit is lovely. It smells as if it might have some pear in here as well. It's definitely rosey, but it's a youthful, fresh, dewy rose. Almost more like peony than true rose. It's simply and has a laundry musk drydown, but what makes this more interesting than some perfumes lately, is that it actually stays quite juicy and fruity throughout the middle stage and only becomes really musky far into the drydown. I really like it, although I had hoped for more prominent lily. I think most perfumes from this line would make nice, safe gifts too, and are very office appropriate.

Received this as a sample! Funny how different scents smell on different people! I notice the reviews talk a lot about a citrus or fruity component but on me I have to really focus to smell those notes. My chemistry really brings out the clean lilly with ever slightly sweet musk. It reminds me more of a lotion or conditioner than shampoo if that makes sense. It's creamy but clean. It's an inoffensive, daily scent, I enjoy it, but probably no one's signature. There isn't anything unique or stand out-ish. But it is nice!

Just blind bought a travel size today. Really easy, light scent. Reminds me a little Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet. Perfect for spring and summer. If u are into light floral and not too picky, you are going to like it. It is not too citrusy in the opening, not too sweet, after 20 min I can smell little bit of rose. Lily is almost undetectable, so I don't know why they decided to name it "Lily" I would definitely put it in rotation with my others perfumes.

Really pretty fragrance! It is however a tad boring and body spray like. With that being said- given D&G’s advertising for this, it’s targeted toward younger girls. This is perfect for a teenage girl who’s transitioning from body sprays to perfumes.

This has to be one of my favorites of the Dolce garden collection. It opens with fruity top notes of passionfruit and lemon, with floral middle notes from rose and pink lily. Don't let the pink bottle throw you off if you like citrus scents!

This smells almost identical to the Paris Hilton EDP to my nose. Bright, fruity and fresh! It smells like the mall and the mid 2000s. Not something I would gravitate to any more, but it's an enjoyable scent for the fruity floral lovers.

Hello passion fruit! Dolce Lily is a happy, uplifting fragrance with a nice floral base and fruity opening. It is an easy reach, and great for one of those days where the heat doesn’t relent and anything else is just too heavy.

Smells nice, but that’s pretty much it. A sweet, inoffensive, pink, tropical fruit punch. If I didn’t know what the scent was/where it came from I would’ve thought I had gotten hibiscus shampoo on my wrist.

It’s weird to me that this has so many negative reviews, it’s such an inoffensive fragrance to my nose! Pleasant, shampoo-y, nothing special but still nice.

Citrusy and pretty but not my favorite from D&G. Poor longevity.

I'm curious about the reviews going on about the weak lasting power of Lily since I had the opposite experience with it. This is a basic, crowd-pleasing fruity floral that I could see coming out of the early 2010s and selling in TjMaxx/Winners for a discount. The opening is a nice, sweeter floral with a bergamot background (not sharp whatsoever), which fades into, as so many have said, a fruity shampoo scent reminiscent of Garnier Fructis. This is not a bad thing, especially since it lasted a good 7-8 hours on my skin after two sprays, one on my clavicle and one on my wrist, but it was also nothing impressive. This disappointment reminds me of Gorgeous Gardenia by Gucci a bit, and i'd say it's a safe blind buy for those who like fruity florals, but I would personally not purchase a full bottle.
