Light Blue Discover Vulcano Pour Homme

Discover greatness.. Discover Vulcano... I am a big fan of the citrus based, fresh scents to include the Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue editions. The latest edition - Discover Vulcano - smells great. I only wish it lasted longer. Bring on Summer..!! Out of the bottle, I notice the blend of citrus and floral notes. Discover Vulcano then settles close to the skin with a blend of citrus, floral, and herbal notes. This fragrance is very good and easy on the nose. Given the citrus base, Spring and Summer are ideal for wear. This fragrance is on the lighter side - that said, it is a great option for an office environment or day wear. While I am totally good wearing Discover Vulcano (mid-40s and roguishly handsome gentleman), it may be best suited for younger men (actually - a woman could so "pull off" wearing this gem..) As previously noted, the longevity is moderate, maybe slightly below. With my body chemistry, I get four hours from Vulcano. Odd though - I get much better longevity from the original Light Blue. Vulcano does last longer on clothing. The projection or sillage is moderate, almost modest, spreading a small "wake" one to two feet. This fragrance has plenty of "Wow Factor" (compliments from the opposite sex)- I have had several from the original Light Blue. Today was the first time wearing Vulcano with no "Wow Factor" however, I believe with continued use, it will happen. "Build it... and they will come"... The bottle and packaging are typical Dolce and Gabbana - excellent...!! I purchased this bottle from Sephora and found it moderately priced, around $50 for a mid-size bottle. Affordable and competitively priced with other "new" fragrances on the market. My final rating of Discover Vulcano is 4.3 stars out of 5 stars. If the longevity and projection/sillage were greater, this fragrance would be close to perfection. It is highly recommended adding to your collection - especially if you like those Summer citrus fragrances - like me..!! Daily I.M. - Watch the sunrise... A new day is born... Make the most of it..!!

The first time I wore this it had a weird sulfur under smell that I didn't like, but after using it a couple times, it began to grow on me and it smells better. Initial splash of fresh citrus, a bit of the ginger, and lavender for sure. Dries to a woodys feel. On my skin it fades with in 2 hours, but on clothes is last a pretty long time. I've recently started testing the longevity of my colognes at night before I go to sleep. I sprayed this one on one of my t-shirt sleeves and when I woke up the smell was still going good.

An easy dumb grab. A must have for any collection. Nothing too complex or in your face. But to my nose, a perfect spring summer scent. Perfect for any occasion. Suits well in an office. Offering a fresh scent. In my opinion the staple of freshies

Aptly named. I can imagine an island with a volcano and a beautiful beach around it. I could smell the ash/dust used for mud bath or something. Not as citrusy as I'd imagined.

this is very interesting fragrance because it combine for all occasion. I use in a sunshine day.

Bought this one and I just wear it in my holidays, not super special, just smells good.

First of all I am a big fan of the light blue DNA and therefore want to try all flankers if possible. I saw an offering for 38€ for 125ml and ordered it immediately since these flanker are really hard to get. The presentation is like all the light blue flankers very elegant with a slightly yellow/greenish liquid. The scent start with a sour blast a the opening. I mostly got parsley and dill. Some people before said it smells like pickle juice and can't deny it there is definitely a vinegary smell to it. It think you have to get used to this smell. It is somewhat refreshing but in a way I havent experienced up to today. Some like Italians like to drink thickened up vinegar as aperitif before meals. There is also a drink called "shrub" which is a cocktail with added vinegar which is said to be very refreshing in the summer time. So yea it may lean into that direction. After some minutes I also get a small sulphurous nuance. Not an egg smell at so don't worry... but its hard to describe. The title may describe it the best, discover Vulcano. Herbal, aromatic, mediterranean, mineralic and a bit sulphuric and dusty. I wouldn't describe it as generic at all. Its definetly not a mass pleaser and there is hardly anything left from the light blue DNA. The longevity is average, I would say 4-5 hours for me. Is it a must buy? definitely not is it a save blind buy? definitely not. It is a nice addition for a light blue collector And since it is getting quite rare the price may increase during the next 2 years and you could even sell it with making a profit if you don't like it.

I love woody smell so it grants for me positive opinions. Even more it does because I do not like so much citrus but here it combine in the way that smell is very pleasant. I get unusually big sample of this perfume and on the first usage I did not like it. It was winter and I have used heavy winter perfumes and after them using of Light Blue was masked by them. Perfume have interesting combinations of smells so It is definitely perfume for warmer weather, but good enough even for fall. There is some weak spot on longevity, fortunately not like One, but longevity is approximately ~6h. Scent 7/10 Longevity 6/10 Projection 6/10

D&G Light Blue Discover Vulcano is one of the lines earlier flankers. You cant really smell the OG’s scent profile but still fits within its target market which is a summer day scent. Im not really a fan of the scent as it smells something an older guy would wear. Longevity is weak as i had to respray 2x in a day’s work. I didnt like it at first but eventually grew on me as i was getting a few compliments here and there. Not a safe blind buy as my comment suggests but definitely a must buy if you get your hands on a decant or bottle as this is discontinued

About a month ago i bought the 125ml for 49euros from the mall! The smell is interesting .cypress and ginger are very noticeable.it's not the one its gonna make me say wow or its unique, but just interesting for that price. I think it's better the 2015 limited edition and worst tha the original light blue for sure (even though I hate it on my skin).The Longevity isn't great (about 3-4 hours on my skin) and it radietes almost in arm length. Definitely buy it in outlet price and i would say its a safe blind buy for a summer scent

”Is inspired by the island of Vulcano, the volcanos were named after later on. This island is known for mud bath and the crater with smoke.” Not what I am used to when it comes to Light Blue flankers. It’s fresh but kind of dirty and dusty at the same time, when I first sprayed it on. Maybe it’s the cypress/cedar combo that comes off like that 🤔 The dusty element is completely gone after 30 min and you are left with fresh lemon, ginger and vetiver. Really good!

To me this smells like light blue but with toned down aquatic notes and toned up citrus. It reminds me of ck escape minus the melon and ck escape is one that I am very found of. In general I find this to be a nice summer scent.

not bad... saya cukup suka dengan parfum ini saya mencoba dengan membeli vial nya... yang saya suka adalah pada saat wangi dry down nya...

Today's review takes us into the sun drenched Mediterranean territory of Dolce & Gabbana with a limited edition flanker from their iconic summer line: Light Blue Pour Homme Discover Vulcano. Released in 2014, this fragrance is inspired by the volcanic island of Vulcano, aiming to capture the stark contrast of intense Mediterranean heat against Mediterranean freshness. It is worth noting right from the start that this hidden gem is long discontinued and incredibly difficult to find on the market today, making it a rare collector item for enthusiasts of the brand. While the original Light Blue DNA is legendary for its airy and casual nature, Discover Vulcano introduces a much more structured and grounding atmosphere. Based on the main accords, this composition leans heavily into a robust Woody and Aromatic presentation, keeping things energetic up front with Fresh Spicy and Citrus layers. It alludes to a distinct, earthier take on summer freshness, rounded out by clean, breezy notes and a distinct lavender presence. Let us see if this volcanic iteration can elevate the classic fresh line into something more mature and substantial, or if it loses the casual charm that made the original formula a warm weather staple. Opening: The opening is citrusy, fresh, and aromatic. The primary notes I get are Italian lemon, cypress, ginger, and lavender, with the lemon and cypress leading the composition. The Italian lemon takes a strong lead in the opening with an extremely sharp and tart lemon accord that is highly reminiscent of pure, fresh squeezed lemon juice. The cypress joins in underneath as a fresh and aromatic accord that provides clean, upscale spa vibes rather than anything overtly woody or reminiscent of a Christmas tree like other cypress notes can often be. The ginger provides the opening with a supporting note of fresh spice, giving the introduction that bubbly, effervescent effect that ginger often carries with it. Lastly, the lavender works from the background, layering in some masculine, barbershop type aromatics to ground the blend. I also get a distinctly aquatic accord from the opening, tying this fragrance to the rest of the Light Blue line, though with no dedicated aquatic note listed it is difficult to determine exactly what ingredient is generating that watery quality. The result is a highly energetic and biting blast that immediately commands attention with its crisp, clean, and bracing profile. Dry Down: The dry down is citrusy, aromatic, and woody, shifting smoothly as the fragrance settles on the skin. The primary notes I get are Italian lemon, cypress, vetiver, and cedar, with the lemon and cypress remaining at the forefront of the composition. The lemon is still driving the profile, but it has become noticeably rounder and less sharp than it was during the initial spray. Meanwhile, the cypress continues to play its supporting role of aromatic, clean freshness without undergoing much structural change. Underneath, the vetiver has emerged to provide a grassy woodiness that brings a grounding substance to the base. Lastly, the cedar adds a final layer of dry woodiness to anchor the fragrance further. The lavender remains faintly perceptible in the background as a soft, aromatic barbershop accord that pulls everything together. The result is a consistent and clean dry down that transitions from a sharp citrus blast into a refined, woody aromatic experience that retains a distinct freshness throughout its life. Performance: The initial projection within the first hour is strong, reaching out about six feet and creating a significant cloud around the wearer. The sillage is powerful, leaving behind a bright and immediately noticeable scent trail that cuts through the warm air easily. After about three to four hours, the performance remains surprisingly resilient, with the projection still hovering around six feet and the scent trail becoming only a bit lighter while remaining easily noticeable. After about seven to eight hours, the projection finally draws in to about arms length, and the scent trail begins to grow faint. The fragrance ultimately becomes a skin scent around the nine hour mark, which represents an incredibly solid level of endurance for a member of the Light Blue family. When to Wear: Just like the rest of the iconic line it belongs to, Discover Vulcano is a classic spring and summer fragrance that is best suited for daytime wear. Its light and fresh nature makes it a great choice for casual weekend wear or running errands, but it is also highly suitable for office wear due to its clean and fancy spa characteristics. However, I would not choose this for any special occasions like date nights or anything strictly formal, where something darker, denser, and more substantial would fit the atmosphere much better. It thrives in high heat and sunshine, working perfectly as a rejuvenating daytime reach. Blind Buy: I would not necessarily consider Discover Vulcano a safe blind buy for the average consumer, primarily because of how intensely sharp the lemon accord is in the initial opening. That sheer tartness can be polarizing if you are not prepared for a pure, fresh squeezed sensation. However, if you are a dedicated fan of the Light Blue lineage and enjoy collecting its historical iterations, this unique aromatic version could be well worth sampling if you can track down a decant. It steps away from the standard blue formula just enough to offer something interesting, but the opening requires a true appreciation for sharp citrus. Final Verdict: I think Discover Vulcano is an intriguing entry into the Light Blue catalog, providing fans of the line with something a little bit different than the usual summer flanker, and the technical performance was surprisingly solid for a fragrance from this family. It manages to deliver a mature, aromatic twist on freshness that feels upscale and refined, trading the standard aquatic breeze for a more structured, green atmosphere. However, the overt sharpness of the Italian lemon in the opening was simply a bit too difficult for me to get through comfortably. While the transition into that clean, upscale spa vibe is pleasant, a fragrance should be enjoyable from the very first spray, and that hyper realistic tartness borders on being overly aggressive. Because it is long discontinued and commands a premium from collectors, the hunt to track down a rare full bottle on the secondary market simply is not justified for me. Still, it was a very interesting experience that highlights just how diverse summer flankers can be, and I am glad to have added it to my overall repertoire as a point of comparison. Scent: 6/10 Longevity: 7/10 Sillage: 8/10 Versatility: Average Compliment Factor: Average Gender: Masculine Value: Fair

I have no idea what the team at D&G were thinking with this one. It should have been discontinued a year after it's release. When people think light blue we want something simple and clean. Nothing complex and weird like this. This is just too spicy to have the name light blue in it. Forever and Intense are superior and even Sun is much better than this. The numbers don't lie. This one does not even have 300 votes compared to the much better flankers. Don't be a fool and pay over 40 for it just because it's discontinued.

Does this frag smell good? Yes. Is it a safe blind buy? Definitely NOT. The opening salvo for me reeks of pickles and a very upscale gentleman's washroom. It smells good but that pickles and washroom accord is there. There's also a whiff of powdery, ash-ey, dry rocks underneath the washroom and pickles combo, tying it to the 'vulcano' island theme. Now the base is same as Stromboli, that delicious soft musk. I can see how this can be off-putting to some. I won't buy a bottle of this but will be happy if gifted.

Just got a bottle of this from Sephora and I'm honestly not feeling it. There is a deeper, incredibly light smokiness that starts out the top notes. After about an hour, it dries down to regular Light Blue. I wouldn't advise getting this if you've already got the original and it's not like Living Ravioli which I was rather fond of. It's just meh.

The initial lemon blast of this perfume stayed with me the whole time, and it was so over-powering. Luckily this scent does not last long - around 2-3 hours. I am a big fan of D&G, but this one is do disappointing. Sorry, but could only recommend this to citrus lovers.

I sprayed this on my skin and was disgusted!!!! Hard to describe, but I say it smells ashy. Not a pleasant smell. Did not enjoy it at all.

Too weak! In my skin, after 1~2 hours it simply dissapears. I will sell my bottle
