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.

September 26, 2020 at 5:00 pmThese both sound wonderful. I’ve never tried either. I think I’d choose the pineapple just because it’s something different and outside the box for me that I’d love to try.

September 26, 2020 at 4:57 pmWow! Tough choice. I’d have to go with the pineapple, although I love lemon-flavored anything. (But since I wouldn’t be drinking this, probably, I’ll go pineapple.) And those cute little caps! @queen3165

September 26, 2020 at 4:39 pmWhen I first seen the scents I thought I’d like the pineapple but the vetiver and woodsy elements to the lemon has me leaning more towards that one.

September 26, 2020 at 4:22 pmOh my gosh Dave, the choices! My eye literally got big when I saw both scents because I adore both. I actually have bought both pineapple and citrus scented fragrances in the past. I haven’t smelled either of D&G’s products unfortunately, but based on the descriptions lemon here just edges out pineapple for me. Oh my goodness I’m desperate for both now though! Thank you for having this giveaway!

September 26, 2020 at 4:21 pmThey both sound as though they have their own place in my scent wardrobe! I have many moods, including the seasons & the weather. For the fall season I think the pineapple would be my choice because of the warmth of the vanilla. I’ve never smelled either so who really knows. I’m sure I’d love both. My twitter is @tracysuz Thanks Dave! <3
