The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1994 by Dior and created by perfumers Pierre Bourdon and Maurice Roger, Dolce Vita Parfum is a warm and inviting floral fragrance that captures the essence of Italian sophistication. The composition opens with bright citrus notes of bergamot and grapefruit, which mingle seamlessly with the soft sweetness of peach and apricot. As it develops, cardamom and cinnamon add a spicy warmth, while lily and rose bring an elegant floral character. The base notes of vanilla, coconut, sandalwood, and cedar create a rich and comforting finish that lingers on the skin.
Dolce Vita Parfum is best applied generously for a long-lasting effect. The spicy top notes dissipate within two hours, but the warm base notes continue to develop on the skin throughout the day.
