Light Blue Dreaming in Portofino

Let me say this first, this smells nothing like the original. This is a sharp powdery scent must be the ambrettte , litchi and iris mixture. Iris makes for a powdery outcome in most scents. Now am I loving this yes and no. It’s different and on me longevity in is intense, especially in this humid weather here in NY. Ok I’m going to say this and I hope this makes sense, it turn into this powdery mixture which doesn’t reveal any of the particular notes. Ok, so I did get a compliment today at farmers market that what I was wearing is beautiful and I smelled really good. I always consider that people complimenting me are the general public not a fragrancehead like most of us, lol! Would I recommend, maybe, if you like powdery sharp scents go for it. I do like that every year D&G come out with a different version of the original.

I can not bear to read any of the other reviews of this because everyone has their own thoughts but I don't want to read any negative .... EVERY time I spray the bottle it makes me smile. IT IS DEVINE! I am not a fan of light blue.... some how the title dreaming of Portofino caught my eye and I stopped... and I have not stopped since. It is hard for me to use my other perfumes... I love this one so. I don't know what Portofino has to do with it... doesn't make me think of anything but clean blue water with wind blowing across it with.... sand between my toes... and then I open my eyes... and realize I am going to be late to work! LOL... I can't say enough good about it. BRAVO !!!!

I've never been fond of Light Blue for all its popularity, to me it's a plain citrusy scent, just like an Eau de Cologne. But Portofino version is different, I really quite enjoyed it. To me is like there was some left-over batches of Sicily perfume and they decided to blend them with Light Blue instead of throwing them away, and there you have a synergy of the best of both perfumes. It's different, summery, light, full of joy... The lasting power probably not that good, but... whoever cares if you are having a shower twice a day!! Unfortunately I don't think I'm buying it since there is only 100 ml size and I've never had an affair that lasts so long with any perfume!!

What a wonderful smell. I've chosen this fragrance for a night out as it is refreshing and sensual at the same time. Beautiful litchi accord in the beginning and a warm heart of creamy iris and musk. This tiny bit of Patchouli gives a feminine and sensual vibe to the fruit and it's wearable all year round not only in summer. Wish they would bring it back on the market. By the way: For me there is barely no similarity to D&G Light Blue. Every summer version of Light Blue even Sunset in Salina and Escape to Panarea stand for themselves.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Dreaming in Portofino is like a dream! The original Light Blue is a zesty citrus scent where Dreaming in Portofino is sweet and powdery. I’m a huge osmanthus lover so after reading the notes in this I knew I had to get it! Sweet litchi and soft fruity osmanthus with powdery iris, warm amber, and a touch of patchouli. It’s a little bit of a crisp aquatic scent and has subtle hints of pink pepper. This is my new obsession, I absolutely love this fragrance!
