golden zest for life elixir
Dolce Vita is a very, very special perfume for me personally
It is one of the most multifaceted scents I know & has a mega recognizability, especially now in a time of lush sweet fragrances.
The first time I encountered this perfume was in the bathroom of my then "training housewife" during my family internship through my social work school. I was allowed to intern with her for half a year and support her in her daily life with her children. Her name was Rita.
She was a thoroughly cheerful, loving, and truly beautiful woman. Yes, a natural beauty. She had short, curly blonde hair. She smiled a lot. She was such a good soul. She cared for her family with much love. She cooked fresh every day and used only the best organic ingredients. She had the patience of an angel and radiated pure joy of life and confidence. Professionally, she was a religious education teacher. She had such a pleasant, humorous, and lively way about her. I confess....
Every time I was in her bathroom, I would take the bottle and sniff it a little ;)
Yes, this scent suited her so well. Since then, I automatically associate this scent with Rita.
Shortly after, I also bought this fragrance and used it quite happily here and there. However, I took it out of my collection for a long, long time.
Now, almost 15 years later, I am walking down the street and suddenly I smell this fragrance. I recognize it immediately. The funny thing: no one is passing by me, no one behind or in front of me. I see no one. Just this Dolce Vita scent cloud was simply there, suddenly in the air.
Upon arriving home, I set out to search for this fragrance again - and ordered it the same day. It arrived. Today I have it on for the first time in a long while and it transports me back to my internship time with Rita. I see us sitting together in her attic apartment over a coffee, she smiles and a curl playfully falls into her face. She has classical music playing in the background. The sun is shining in and everything is beautiful and good. Life is beautiful.
How I would describe the scent: very warm, soothing, harmonious, spicy, sweetish, apricot & peach, vanilla, deliciously cinnamon, optimistic, strong presence, and a hint of sexiness. It smells of sunshine, joy, and warmth. It is a fragrance I wear when I want to be my best self.
In my opinion, it is an incredibly dynamic scent. A bottle full of zest for life hits the mark, just as the name suggests :)
The longevity is amazing - for hours and the days after, it can still be smelled on clothing.
1-2 sprays are enough, I think, as it can become too strong otherwise.
The bottle is very appealing, playful, and elegant.
A fragrance for eternity. Thank you, Rita.
