The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024 and crafted by perfumer Daphné Bugey, Q by Dolce & Gabbana Eau de Parfum Intense is a composition that balances bright citrus with rich woody notes. The fragrance opens with Sicilian lemon and orange, creating an invigorating freshness that gives way to the floral sweetness of jasmine and heliotrope. At its heart, black cherry adds a touch of depth, while amber and vanilla create a warm, powdery base that lingers on the skin.
This fragrance blooms best when applied to pulse points and left to develop naturally. The citrus top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so allow it a few minutes for the warmer base notes to emerge. Ideal for daytime wear, where its subtle depth enhances any outfit.
