Which Dolce & Gabbana Fruit Collection fragrance is your favourite? Pineapple or lemon? Tell us and you could win both!
One of the most exciting fragrance projects of 2020 is Dolce & Gabbana’s Fruit Collection fragrances. The Italian design duo paid tribute to the mouthwatering marzipan confections found in tiny pasticceries throughout Sicily. These sugar creations are shaped into lemons, oranges and pineapples – and are proudly displayed in the café windows to entice tourists and residents. The marzipan Frutta di Martonara as they are called are beloved throughout Italy.
Dolce & Gabbana pay homage to this art with a trio of fruit-themed fragrances that sport spectacular caps shaped as lemons, oranges and pineapples. The fragrances are fresh and joyful built around the single fruit in nuanced layers.
Dolce & Gabbana Fruit Collection Pineapple
Pineapple is an exotic fruity-gourmand fragrance created by perfumer Marie Salamagne that perfectly captures the sweet tang of fresh pineapple. She blends juicy Sicilian mandarin oil with sun-soaked jasmine sambac and pure vanilla absolute. Then she finishes the composition off with orchid, amber and moss. The crisp pineapple is beautifully balanced with the floral notes – and the vanilla gives it warmth.
Dolce & Gabbana Fruit Collection Lemon
Lemon is described as a fresh, solar-fruity scent created by perfumer Jerome Epinette who takes inspiration from the markets of Palermo and the Sicilian lemon harvests. He establishes the fragrance as a classic Italian cologne with fresh lemon and Calabrian bergamot oils cold-pressed from the fruit zests. He then blends in lemon tree petitgrain distilled from the leaves. A splash of ginger essence adds a nice kick before a mossy drydown of Haitian vetiver and woody notes. It is refreshing and joyful.
THE GIVEAWAY: I gave away this pair of Dolce & Gabbana Fruit Collection fragrances to one lucky reader. To enter, I asked readers to tell me in a blog post comment below which of the two scents is their favourite and why? Brett M told us and we drew his name from all entries. Congrats Brett!
Dolce & Gabbana Fruit Collection fragrances are available at select Hudson’s Bay stores.

October 16, 2020 at 2:31 pmThe lemon would be nice and fresh; although the pineapple might be a little tropical. It is a toss-up which I would like better.

October 13, 2020 at 12:51 pmHi Dave! 🍋My favourite scent of these two would definitely be the Dolce & Gabbana Fruit Collection Lemon Fragrance because Lemon is such a pure and fresh scent. It brings a clean and vibrancy that brightens your mood the second that you smell it! 🍋

October 11, 2020 at 5:32 pmI came upon this page (and contest) while searching yet again for a lemon fragrance, something I’ve become obsessed with finding ever since I saw that Vermont Country Store was selling a reproduction of the 70s “Lemon Up” shampoo, and a fragrance version, something that didn’t exist in those days. What DID exist then, though, was Yardley’s Love’s Fresh Lemon cologne, and I adored it…but never had any money to actually buy it, so would casually stroll over to the display at Target (in Minneapolis, where the now-behemoth store was in its infancy), and apply a bit as if I’d just thought of it idly while passing, rather than DREAMED of it, and longed to get there to put on another sample!
Dana bought the name, apparently, and came out with a version which seems to have disappointed every single woman who loved the original in the 70s. Very sad.
I hadn’t known of this new D&G lemon fragrance until this moment, and I’m going to pop out and look for it, pandemic be damned! Someone *must* start making a fragrance that smells like real lemons, and not much else— I can’t understand why there’s a huge lemon-shaped hole in the fragrance world, and have my fingers crossed that, at long last, THIS may be IT!
