The story behind the bottle.
Q by Dolce Gabbana Parfum, launched in 2025 and crafted by perfumer Daphné Bugey, is a Woody Ambery fragrance that radiates power and elegance with an enduring sensual charm. The composition opens with the signature note of cherry, which evolves into a sweeter, juicier candied version, blending seamlessly with the warm richness of Jasmine Sambac. Luxurious Vanilla Bourbon intensifies the scent, heightening its sensuality and irresistible appeal. This fragrance encapsulates the essence of Dolce & Gabbana's legacy, offering a modern take on their iconic olfactory creations.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — the candied cherry top note is bright but fleeting, while the warm jasmine and vanilla base will linger on your skin throughout the day. This fragrance reads best close to the skin rather than in a large room.
