Once upon a time was a Dolce Vita
My rate is for the vintage editions, 1996 until 2007, maybe 2010.
I remember how wonderful this creation was in the 90's. I still have a few bottles, all vintage, because the post-2010 editions were completely mutilated. A deep, cheerful, balanced fragrance, a buzz of joy and sunshine in a wonderful bottle. The aroma of apricot and cinnamon, sandalwood and cedar all came together in a unique scent, as we had never encountered in another perfume. The performances are, for the vintage edition, spectacular. The fragrance lasts for hours on the skin, it is transformed, matured, placed in magnetizing layers. Today, apart from the glass, there was nothing left of the legendary Dolce Vita. A shrill scent, but weak in performance, with missing notes, a chemical peach and cinnamon, without finding the sandalwood, apricot and former cedar. It is not worth the high price for the actual edition so if you want to feel what it was like, at first, Dolce Vita, you need to choose a vintage bottle and you will not be disappointed. 9.5 for the vintage, 5.5 for the nowadays edition.
