Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa Excelsa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Dolce Rosa Excelsa opens with Papaya and Neroli, settles into a heart of Water Lily, White Amaryllis, Rose, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, and Sandalwood. Dolce & Gabbana's Dolce Rosa Excelsa carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This D&G flanker is divisive. Some find it a 'beautiful, simple rose' for everyday wear, others dismiss it as 'boring' and 'generic laundry detergent'. Its subtlety is either a strength or a fatal flaw.

About

Opens with a bright, crisp neroli and a hint of exotic papaya. The heart blooms into a bouquet dominated by a fresh, sweet rose, softened by aquatic water lily and powdery white amaryllis. The dry down introduces a gentle, clean musk, underpinned by creamy sandalwood and a whisper of cashmere wood for a soft, woody finish.
