Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Capri Review: A Mediterranean Escape

Jasmine tea and apple blossoms capture the soul of the Italian coast.

There is a certain magic that clings to the air of Capri—a blend of sea salt, sun-warmed lemons, and the sweet whisper of wildflowers. Dolce & Gabbana’s Light Blue Capri, a 2025 addition to the iconic Light Blue family, seeks to bottle that very enchantment. Crafted by perfumer Emilie Coppermann, this Eau de Parfum is a love letter to the island’s cliffside gardens and azure waters.

Unlike its predecessor, which leaned heavily on citrus and cedar, Light Blue Capri introduces an unexpected star: jasmine tea. This delicate, slightly smoky note forms the ethereal top, inviting you into a world where every breath feels like a stolen moment of serenity. The heart blooms with apple and apple blossom—crisp, juicy, and tenderly floral—while the base settles into a warm, creamy embrace of longoza, a wild ginger lily that whispers of tropical shores.

This is not a fragrance that shouts; it beckons. It is for the woman who dreams of afternoons spent lounging on a terrazza, a glass of limoncello in hand, the sun painting her skin in gold. Light Blue Capri is an invitation to pause, to breathe, to fall in love with the present moment.
