Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Capri Review: A Mediterranean Escape

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

By Vivir · · Updated

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.

Final Verdict

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Capri is a masterful reinterpretation of the classic, trading bold citrus for a more nuanced, tea-infused serenity. It offers a refreshingly delicate experience perfect for sun-drenched days, though those seeking powerful projection may find it too soft. A beautiful addition to any summer wardrobe.
