Q by Dolce & Gabbana

The juiciest, most intoxicating grown-up fruit punch. I love it so much. Reading the reviews, I feel very lucky to say that I get heaps of mouthwatering cherry, lemon, and blood orange over dreamy, slightly vanillic florals. The new flanker for 2025 is far less interesting in my opinion—yet another dark, woody cherry in the same vein as TF Lost Cherry. This original showcases cherry while retaining more of the freshness people love in Light Blue and Devotion. (Other people--I can't get into Devotion. Something in it is sharp and sour to my nose.) Now, listen. It’s easy to underestimate the projection and longevity on Q. I first sampled it from a tester in an Ulta, which is always just a scent cacophony and I should have known better. After walking around with it on my wrist for a few minutes, I sprayed a few additional times on my collarbone and arms before leaving the store to trial it in the real world. While I enjoyed my scent bubble all day, two members of my family commented that it was unpleasantly strong. A week later, I was still getting whiffs of it off the seat belt in the car I drove home in. Lesson learned. It’s absolutely delicious and a new favorite, but I will be careful not to overspray it! Edit: This has become my warm-weather signature. It's sweet and bright like a fresh fruit salad is sweet, not like frosting is sweet. This and red lipstick and a great pair of sunnies and I am on my way.

Love ❤️ love ❤️ love!!! Absolutely gorgeous, sexy, sensual, regal! This is so beautiful! I don’t get the light blue comparison, the citrus notes add dimension but in my opinion, in no way are prominent. I wouldn’t consider this powdery either. I don’t jive with powdery scents. This is so stunning in that sexy powerful woman way! It’s fierce! I’d say it could teeter on unisex but this is more of a Boss B——- scent! It is LBD in a bottle! With Rockstud stilettos! The woody and musky notes mixed with the cherry! Chef’s kiss 💋! This is a scent for a woman who is comfortable in a man’s world and rules it! This isn’t a girly girl scent, this is a woman’s scent that knows what she wants! For some reason, Samantha from Sex in the city pops in my head, during the Richard era. I personally find this to be more of a fall/winter scent! I don’t get tropical in the least! It’s beautiful and I can’t wait to wear it! I also purchased Queenstown from Maison Alhambra. I’m not sure if it’s intended to be similar to this or the intense version. I can say, they’re similar but the blood orange note is replaced with more of a tart grapefruit note. Q is much better, smoother and more elegant. Stick to the original on this one!

I blindly bought this perfume, basing my purchase solely on the fact that it was crafted by my beloved Dolce & Gabbana and on the reported notes here on Fragrantica, and I must say that this is a gorgeous perfume!!! The opening of Q is a delicious combination of lemon and jasmine that is amazingly warm and musky on my skin. This perfume is by no means a 'girly' fragrance - I find it incredibly womanly. It possesses a regal, mature quality to it. As it dries down, a cherry scent blossoms and ultimately the cedarwood note follows suit, mixing with the lemon and jasmine to create a beautiful concoction of a citrusy, woody delight. Perhaps it's because I've never owned a perfume that has cedarwood, but I find Q to be wonderfully unique as a result of this note. This perfume is heavenly for a girl like me that loves feminine fragrances with spicy and musky undertones. Despite my adoration, my only complaint is that the longevity is quite weak considering the price point.

Idk if I’m the only weird person out here, but I smell a cactus-citrus? I can’t get cactus out of my mind! I just got a tester from Disneys Italy when I bought Dolce Lily. But MAN!!! This scent of SO FUN!! I’m obsessed with it & I might hop back to Italy & but this one .. I can’t live without it! I hope to lord the big bottle smells just like the tester. Because I’m not getting ANY cherry or orange really.. Maybe that cactus smell I’m getting so vibrantly is the heliotrope & cedar mixed together? It’s just so nice tho! It’s like a cleanish cactus type smell, then it completely changes to an almonds warm down. I keep looking it up on all my resale apps because I’m THAT obsessed! Sadly I’m on vacation, so I can pay $155 here, or be patient and pay $50 on resale! Lol! So I’m weighing these options lol! This and Devotion was really nice too!

I’m not a citrus lover and I hate the bottle and the branding of this perfume. I had PTSD from smelling devotion as one of the worst fragrances ever, so I kind of lost interest as D&G as a house. However I was watching Veronica Says talk about this fragrance on her YouTube channel and how citrus can be a very approachable scent profile for others to smell on you. She had a good point and recommended Q. I went to my local department store to test this and immediately purchased it. This is a lovely citrus scent and dries down into a very addictive lemony woody and some kind of dry vanilla or sweetness note. If you are expecting cherry you will be disappointed, but that’s fine by me as I don’t love cherry forward fragrances. I think this could be a good gift and I’d say blind buy safe Love it 8/10
