Had this years ago and loved it, but found after treating myself sometimes best leave things in the past, a bit too sweet and sickly for me now, goes to prove how ones taste changes over the years.

Christian Dior Dolce Vita is what I would call an abstract dessert , a fragrance that has a mouthwatering effect without smelling like a candy bar. It is a cedarwood compostion delicately layered with stewed peaches and dusted with cinnamon and vanilla.

I have a number of different perfumes in my collection, I have reviewed many of them and I am reviewing one that I brought some time ago, that is the Christian Dior Dolce Vita perfume. I have tried a couple of the Dior fragrances in the past and have found them all to be very likable.

Floral and fruity mix is great; well designed; long lasting

To heavy for day wear

Each summer I buy a new a new perfume because I like certain aromas to remind me of different times in my life. I am going to Italy for the summer and so I thought my choice of Dolce Vita by Dior was rather fitting.

It opens with a lot of cardamom, which reminds me of Kenzo Jungle l'Elephant. When it dries down, the sandalwood is dominant. The vanilla and the cinnamon are not very strong on me, not that sweet type in L de Lolita, but just enough present to 'feminise' the fragrance.

I always use Dolce Vita but there is something lacking in the tester I bought, so disappointed as I used gift money to get a new bottle and it seems to be a copy- not to usual standard

Pricey / Poor Value

very good seller without thinking it twice I would go back to buy very serious and very efficient, very happy with my purchase and highly recommended for future purchases.

what can I say? it's my wife's favorite perfume, and you can't get it in the local stores anymore. i've been getting it off Ebay and through internet vendors that last few years. of course, the price goes up a little bit each time, it seems.

i would like to find this perfume, i have a bottle that is a dab on real perfume and am having trouble finding it, can anyone help me

Dolce Vita is just that--a day out of the Good Life. It can be casual or formal. It's a sunny day, with daffodils and cedar trees. It's definitely Italian, and I can imaging Gina Lollobrigida or Sofia Loren wearing this one. It's class, elegance, and the smell of affluence in one round bottle!
