Description
Dolce & Gabbana launched its fresh floral fragrance Dolce in early 2014. The first flanker of this fragrance – Dolce Floral Drops – was introduced a year after. The scent is more fresh and airy than the original and is trying to depict the smell of freshly picked flowers sprinkled with dew.
The composition retains the original composition of white flowers. It opens with fresh neroli leaf and papaya flower. Its heart includes white flowers of amaryllis, daffodils and water lily. The base notes are cashmere, musk and sandalwood.
The fragrance is available as 30, 50, 75 and 150 ml Eau de Toilette.
Dolce Floral Drops was launched in 2015. Dolce Floral Drops was created by Jean-Marc Chaillan and Laurent Le Guernec.

Disappointing for the price plus it has poor longevity of only about 2 hours.
I could hardly smell many floral tones in it and they were weak notes.
For the price, Estee Lauder Pleasures represents better value and has heaps more floral aromas in it, and lasts longer.
I usually love D&G, but not this one. Sorry.

This version is more white floral, but the original one is more catchy.
ALI333 – :
Dolce Floral Drops is green, watery and a bit vague. There’s a nice presence of green apple, a bit of peach (and in the top note some unlisted cucumber). The florals are present but difficult to distinguish.
This is a safe, inoffensive, daily driver. If you needed a gift for someone you don’t know, this would be fine. I can’t imagine someone who’s really into perfume would be infatuated with this one, but it’s pleasant.
reper – :
This is delicious. There’s something sweet and creamy in this scent, it’s not the most unique – I agree – but somehow it’s different than an average white floral. Smells like an afternoon by the lake, surrounded by fresh flowers. I don’t smell the apple on me.
ot0do100 – :
Love this and the whole Dolce line. If I didn’t know it was Apple I would think a very soft lime. The florals stay fresh and light. This is very easy wearing and even sensitive types in your office or yoga class would not complain about this. It could definitely stealth as a pretty shampoo-but-better smell for places that frown on perfume

Apach31RUS – :
I love the smell of papaya flowers! My mom owns it and now I;m wearing it!
Vals5 – :
It’s a generic pleasant fruity floral perfume, nothing significant about it. Good for gifting and wearing to work as it’s not at all offensive. Projection and lasting power is weak. I have a bought a bottle for myself as I like this sort of gentle floral smells but don’t think I’ll buy again once this bottle is over.
pjn690elipseskism – :
The bottle is hella cute, it makes me wanna kiss it. Apart from that, this is a young, flowing with the wind (not in he sense of going quickly),feminine. The kind of sweetness in this is not like hard to breathe sugary but like the kind of that spring blooming tree flowers and strong green apple that surprisingly after reading the comments, on my skin lasts a decent time, especially that the most perfumes dissapear quickly on me, and more espeacially that this is a fresh one. I really suggest to try it and see how it works on you. I think that from this cattegory of easy to wear, this is one of the best, from what i tried. And I am a big fan of green apple and white flowers, if you are one to just give it a big chance. It is simple but it is like waking up from a nice dream in an orchard.
motiv – :
This is a fresh and elegant casual perfume. It’s easy to wear. At first I could smell the apple. The florals came trough after the opening. It’s truly a spring scent! It’s nothing too complex but it’s supposed to be that way. Lovely!
GRICHUKOVA – :
This perfume has grown on me. Although I stand by the fact it is not the most unique, I can definitely distinguish this scent from other floral scents. It has that aquatic but floral refreshing clean musky ultra feminine scent that makes me feel clean and energized yet classy all the while. It is perfect for hot weather. I will be purchasing this. It is very good, even though I slated it in my previous reviews.I have been using my sisters in the hot weather and it has charmed me.
Also it lasts 4 hours on me in summer time, when most other florals last 1 hour maximum so I am impressed with that aspect too. I will be purchasing soon. It is beautiful simplistic clean and refreshing.
irvin – :
A bit disappointed by Floral Drops. I was expecting a deeper, more complex fragrance but this is very simple. It’s light, floral and kind but really nothing special. I usually appreciate the DG fragrances even if not every fragrance fits me but Floral Drops is boring; I get green notes such as water lily and apple but no depth. It’s rather a deodorant smell. If you are looking for a fresh but diverse scent try Armani Acqua di Gioia. This is worth the price.
AlexeyP – :
This smells so… nice. It is so… ephemeral that it is barely there. Now I am a 1-2 spray kind a girl, but I need to apply about a half a cup of this to get any kind of a discernible aura from it. It smells like a very inoffensive fabric softener or other laundry product. When it first goes on it smells a bit like nail varnish. Then it is pleasant, a brief fantasy of water lilies, and then it floats away, like a child’s bubbles. There is a faint sweet apple note, I agree with previous posters.
While there is nothing offensive about this scent, there is not enough tangible to hold onto to warrant purchasing a bottle. But that is what some people are looking for.
Swaceax – :
Not a fan of florals, love this one though. Light, fruity, fresh, yet those delicate floral notes still pop on through. I find it lasts moderately through the day, but definitely not as potent or noticeable as something like Tom Ford or Chanel. I’d say definitely non-offensive. Light, pretty, fresh, feminine but not too girly.
denn11 – :
Dolce Floral Drops is something I wouldn’t have thought about purchasing for myself, but I actually ended up liking it when my mother-in-law gave it to me as a gift. Floral Drops is non-offensive and I tend to wear it when I know I’ll be in close quarters with people, or when I’ll be working with someone who is sensitive to strong perfume. Because of the soft and delicate sillage, it is my fragrance of choice for work in the Spring and Summer time. It lasts about 4 hours on me, so I definitely need to re-spritz halfway through my work day.
Though this is not the most unique fragrance, I much prefer it over the original Dolce. Floral Drops is much more uplifting and invigorating than the original. The water lily note is the star in both versions, but I find Floral Drops to be much more aqueous and a little more woody. The apple note also adds a fresh sweetness that the original lacked. The original Dolce also had a stuffy, bitter note that I did not care for.
If Floral Drops and the original Dolce were twins, neither would really stand out in a crowd that much, but Floral Drops would at least make the effort to socialize and smile. Her sister, on the other hand, would appear sad, depressed, and perhaps a little drunk.

Light and airy floral scent with gentle woody base. I really like the smell of green apple in the opening, but apart from that it’s just another floral scent without personality.
qwerfasd – :
Third Dolce I have tried unfortunately none have done anything for me they are pleasant but boring and for the price you expect unique scent strong sillage and longevity which is not what you get with these Dolce fragrances. It is really disappointing because the bottles are beautiful and charming the best perfume bottles I have ever seen. For that reason alone I am tempted to buy one of these fragrances but i am so disappointed with the juice inside. I like this one best out of all three it has a creamy green floral scent though still very bland unfortunately. It makes me sad the juice is no were near as good as the bottles .
scent=4.5/10
sillage=3/10
longevity=3/10
bottle =10/10
alekAAA – :
absolutely fresh bright green fruity vibe in the opening. peach, neroli and green apple are the prominent notes. i get almost 3 hours of those notes. in the heart note, water lily is the prominent note. it was blended very well. in dry down, sandalwood and musk are so light and clean.
this perfume is absolutely everyday perfume. really really pleasant, inviting, simple, light and friendly. if you’re looking fresh bright fruity floral and light woody, this is one of them. i hope this perfume last longer on my skin unfortunately it doesn’t.
Sergei. – :
This is a lovely everyday scent.
I smell a lot of green apple in it at first, and then turns into a fresh springy floral.
It’s just a pity that has zero longevity, disappears almost immediately. So I suggest to buy instead the EDP version, which is identical but for sure stronger and long lasting.
darioszerek – :
Rain do good things for this perfume.and snow;).amm I think some similarity to j adore dior make me love dolce -I don’t really understand what note ?sharp but pleasant and bright. Maybe neroli ?
There is freshness and soapy notes. make feeling of just after shower.and that what I very very love;).
But at hot weather something not working .
v-64977 – :
This is the clone of either Ralph Lauren Ralph or RL Blue! It’s been a while since I have had either of the two but I know this is spot on one of those fragrances. I’m almost 100% sure it’s Ralph and I know Ralph has green apple. Not a bad smell just played out and not what I expect from D&G. Ten years ago this was great for RL . This flanker isn’t original at all. It’s one thing to recycle your own work but now it’s RL in a D&G bottle. Uninspiring to say the least.

While I appreciate the original Dolce for the simplicity of its fresh greenness mixed with a touch of soft white musk, Floral Drops elicited a huge ‘bleh’ from me when I finally got a chance to smell it. So synthetic in nature, like smelling an original Bounce dryer sheet doused in original Gain (sorry for all the ‘originals’ but there are so many versions of both products these days I had to differentiate LOL). Harshly unpleasant to my nose, I will stick to the original (ha-ha) Dolce.
kichopsky – :
This parfume was gifted me. If it wast I never imagine myself when I buying this. Because it is too pure too weak for me. And it reminds me gin tonic which I don’t really like much. BUT it has a lovely bottle! Its been 30 min when I wear so I will wait more and write my main review
Huligan74 – :
I love wearing this scent in rainy weather. It really brings out the creaminess in the dry down. This was a blind buy due to the beautiful bottle that I couldn’t resist. I didn’t love it at first but it has grown on me. So perfectly paired with spring. I find myself reaching for it more and more. The opening is a bit sharp but give it time and it develops into something lovely.
vtreskoff – :
I was indifferent to this at first but now that it’s summer, I love Dolce Floral Drops and wear it every other day. It’s a dewy, clean smelling floral that’s feminine and fresh and not overpowering. Makes it ideal for work and everyday.
sas10683127 – :
Just like some people can’t hear high-pitch sounds, it seems like my nose can’t pick up the notes in this fragrance. I can just hardly sense that something is there.
orlovarp – :
This is a fairly recent purchase for me, so I’ve only worn it for a few days. At first spray, it reminds me of Gucci Flora. However, as it dries, the woods really come out and the fragrance “matures,” if you will. I can still smell it on myself if there’s a gust of wind or if I’m in the right spot for a gust from the air conditioner to hit me. I think it’s one you can wear to the office and not smother everyone around you with your perfume. A very nice floral/woody scent.
sdruk – :
I don’t know if my skin chemistry is wonky or what, but the drydown smells exacly like Vera Wang Princess on me. Must be the water lily note maybe?
lechenie – :
This starts out like just another simple generic light floral perfume. Pleasant, but nothing to write home about. But, the dry down is fabulous, dare I say addictive! It is warm clean musk and the softest, creamiest, feminine sandalwood blended to perfection.
I put this in the same category as Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet. Super girly, light, with the dry down smelling even better than the top notes. No harsh notes, very round. It is also similar in longevity and silage with floral drops being just slightly stronger. Perfume Parlour please create the oil version of this!
patrickmwc1 – :
It dries down quickly, but the opening note smells like Raid. After that, it is a perfectly nice scent, but a bit boring.
Рафаэль – :
I can barely smell it 🙁
Bismroattam – :
I think it is a very nice delicate floral, better than the original, it has more personality, but I feel it is overall soft, and longevity not great! I wouldnt call it Intense!!
It is soft, a bit leafy, the floral notes delicate…only for lovers of softer scents!!
But it is indeed quite pretty!!
tyliankin – :
Talk about such an improvement! Where original Dolce fails this one succeeds! Good work D&G in upgrading the somewhat disappointing Dolce!
Floral Drops is “bolder”. It has good staying power and soft to moderate projection. It can be called Dolce intense! Everything seems alive in this composition! The neroli blends well with water lilies to create a spring perfume that really takes us to Italy. This one deliver what it promises! 8/10
pikhta – :
I wouldn’t want to pay 100 euros for a perfume that I can’t even smell even though I have sprayed many times.
Traven42 – :
Spring freshness in a bottle! Comparing to the first Dolce, Floral Drops version is less soapy, so much better IMHO. Pure, light, charming fragrance, totally office safe. Stillage is so soft that it would be really difficult to overdose it.
Recommended for all fresh scents’ lovers.
Update: Worn in heat, it is very sweet, so spray sparingly in summer.
oktagonec – :
Tried it now and the opening is hideous, like sweat and candy mixed together but the dry down is decent and it’s actually a lot stronger than the original. I find it quite warm and savory with a musky white floral note. Still absolutely nothing special but a lot less disappointing than the original
Yriiss – :
Curious to try this now as it says it’s more light and airy than the original, how is that even possible? It must smell of absolutely nothing then >
JabirrakZer – :
I was so disappointed when I smelled this yesterday- it smells almost identical to the edp version. I feel as if it’s just a money making thing from D&G trying to get us to buy more perfumes, but there really isn’t any difference between this one and the first!
Mevegroowlern – :
It’s not very good. Strongly white floral, I sense mostly neroli.
Sharp and cloying. I was hoping it’s better than the original, but it’s not.
Good, for someone else.
den911007 – :
To me, this smells the same as the EDP but brighter and actually lasts longer too. Refreshing and quite pleasant for summer.
