I first smelt Christian Dior's Dolce Vita on a patient, whilst dental nursing. And altough I would not normally ask patients such questions, it was SO beautiful, I HAD to ask!! I had mentioned it in my lunch hour to the other nurse and receptionist, but thought nothing of it. But then to my delight, on my birthday several months later, I received the 50ml bottle of Dolce Vita (EDT) as a present from all the staff in the practice. I was chuffed, as I was not expecting much! It soon became one of my top three!!
Christian Dior created Dolce Vita in 1995. It is the result of the following top fragrance notes: Lily, Magnolia and Rose. The middle notes are: Apricot, Peach and Cinnamon and the base of the fragrance is Sandlewood, Amber and Vanilla. (Dolce Vita is recommended for evening use.)
Not to be confused with Christian Dior's Eau De Dolce Vita, which is entirely a different perfume. (That was not launched until 1998.)
The round glass glass bottle, is fashioned with multiple facets. (Looks a bit like a bubble, with lots of little buubles all over it!) And is decorated with a ridged/ringed golden collar for that elegant Dior touch!! On the front, in small gold lettering is; DOLCE VITA Christian Dior PARIS
This then comes in a bright yellow box, so it's hard to miss!! (Not as special as the bottle!)
I love wearing this perfume, as I know that the smell will stay with me for ages!! And, oh, what a smell!! It is beautiful, and people you don't know, really do stop and ask you what it is! (That's how I found it!) It makes me feel 'all grown up' if you know what I mean? I suppose, it's quite a mature sexy frangrance, that smells good on all ages of women. It's floral and fruity, yet spicy at the same time.
Dolce Vita. A fragrance that radiates happiness and 'joie de vie', yet remains sophisticated, soft and sensual. It symbolizes eternal femininity.
