The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2026 by perfumer Daphné Bugey, Q by Dolce & Gabbana Elixir is a Floral Fruity fragrance that encapsulates the essence of Italian luxury. The composition opens with nectar and Sicilian lemon, bringing an immediate brightness and freshness to the senses. At its heart, Queen of the Night Flower and Jasmine Sambac create a lush floral bouquet, while Peru Balsam, oakmoss, and cherry introduce warmth and depth in the base. This fragrance is a harmonious blend of fruity sweetness and woody richness, evoking the sophistication that Dolce & Gabbana has become synonymous with.
Apply Q by Dolce & Gabbana Elixir to pulse points for a warm embrace throughout the day. The Sicilian lemon notes are most prominent during the first hour but give way to the rich base notes, making it ideal for daytime wear.
