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!

This has quickly become one of my top go to fragrances this summer - a definite love for me. I really don't get much of the original Light Blue in this one at all. They are both summery fresh fragrances, but while Light Blue is all about citrus/cedar, Dreaming in Portofino is lightly sweet fruit and florals, a touch powdery. Where Light Blue is unisex, Dreaming in Portofino is very feminine. Both are amazing fragrances but I love this version even better than the original.

This is one of my most missed emptys. Bought blind on airplane as was on offer and loved the freshness of it. Shame its hard to get hold of now as gave a great fresh clean feel .im not keen on aquatic scents in general but did like the vibe of this one. My son used to pinch it sometimes as could pass off as a masculine scent ..just a slight breeze of sweetness ..think it was aptly named as you do get med vibes .x

Received this limited edition as a gift from my boyfriend... Have always been a fan of powdery and light floral scent.. Love love love this D&G scent, my first from D&G! The opening note is light fresh scent, slowly drys down to a very light, powdery scent which smells so feminine on me... The scent is lasting on me and it stays on throughout the day, and makes me think of him too :) Love it, thumbs up!

This fragrance reminds me of flowers after the rain. It's a perfect blend of extremely light floral, aquatic, and hint of powder. It's fresh without citrus or soapy smell. I can see myself wearing this every day with any type of outfit. Really love how wearable this fragrance is! Great for days when you don't want vanilla or anything super sweet. There's no way anyone could find this perfume offensive.

This is beautiful and nothing like the original Light Blue. It reminds me of the clear, blue waters of southern Turkey. It's sweeter, creamier and just a little bit masculine, with a spicy drydown. Smells really sophisticated to me, like Mediterranean summer evenings spent drinking cocktails and gazing at the sea.

Love this one! It ́s a very sharp and sweet scent ant not at all resembling Michael Kors because that one is more aquatic and fresh. Dreaming is a very prominent, dominant smell and you will either love it or hate it. Personally i love the loud, sweet and soapy scents so this one is perfect for me.

Im actually wearing it, or rather enjoying it, soooo much. Its winter in my country and it transports me straight to Portofino in summer! Yes, I have to apply generously and sillage is not too much, but its warm and reasonably lasting... Enjoy!

Just grabbed a large bottle of this on the plane as a blind buy. thankfully I wasnt disapointed, its an ideal summer scent..aquatic but not too much so, its light breezy and ideal after jumping out of th shower on a hot day

The original version Light Blue was to heavy for me. But Dreaming in Portofino is perfectly fresh for me. I had tested it in Greece by big heat and it is the best fragrance for summer. I love it!

this is the best version ,even better than the original one, wish they still make this

LOVE LOVE LOVE :-) This is my fav from dolce & gabanna!

Just smelled this today @ Nords, of course it's way diff then the orig. && even though I think light blue is entirely too popular, which is why I'm starting to dislike it a bit b/c so many ppl wear it, I have to say even though Portofino is nice in smell I prefer the orig. over this. Portofino is a really nice clean && pretty scent don't get me wrong, perfect for the summer days, but its nothing new to me... honestly it faintly reminds me of a more toned down version of Versace's Versus ...which I believe was discontinued hmmmm I think my philosphy is starting to come true I really think they recycle scents when a fragrance doesn't do well && will wait a while && resell && rebottle it under a new name for a fresh restart with a better design house either that or they're just running out of scents to make...Idk just a thought...pretty possible, anyways Portofino is a nice summery scent, I'm sure there will be many mixed reviews on this frag. Its deff gonna have to be one of those fragrances you have to try yourself to see if its for u. :)

I was super excited to try this flanker,and found a small 25 ml bottle in Marshall's,where the bf took me shopping for my Mother's day gifts.It was a bit pricey,at least to me,at $40 for that tiny bottle.But I got it anyway,as it's been on my want list for awhile. Let me just say that I like the scent,fruity,with a slight masculine undertone,but that might be the patchouli.I enjoy the scent,but am highly disappointed in the longevity and sillage.I could hardly smell it on myself,and I sprayed it about 12 times! i did get many compliments,so I guess it had at least moderate sillage,if everyone else could smell it.I'm disappointed because I own and love the original Light Blue and find it lasts a long time,and has very good sillage,and I don't need to drown myself in it. Overall,it's a fantastic scent,just not strong enough nor long lasting.So,in my opinion not worth the price.

This is what I think the original Light Blue should have smelled like—this truly smells light blue. For me, it still smells very citrusy but it is softer, like the smell of lemon juice as opposed to the rind. It’s much more palatable than the original. To that there’s a powdery, perfumey floral, which I typically hate but it works in this perfume because there’s enough sweetness. It smells like Italian lemon ice on a spring day. Very pleasant, impressive longevity for a citrus perfume (6+ hours) and decent sillage. It’s not a casual perfume though, so it is not as wide appealing as other scents in its category (MJ Daisy, Dior Addict Florale, GA Sun di Gioia etc). If you own any of those this isn’t better but it’s a nice perfume in its own right.
