Light Blue pour Homme Capri in Love Dolce & Gabbana 2025

I tested Capri in Love first only on strip before getting a full decant and to be honest it impressed me more on strip. Masculine woody/peppery opening let me to believe this was going to be a bit of a departure from the citrus freshness of the other Light Blue Eau de Toilette flankers. Though the opening is nice, it settles quickly into a cheaply-scented fruity sunscreen. It doesn't even last long. It's such a shame that Capri in Love and Light Blue pour Homme Summer Vibes have such beautiful bottles with such average juice inside.

For men? What do you mean, for men? I tested it and loved it... for me!

It’s a very fresh fragrance with citrus and fig notes, complemented by a lovely spicy and woody touch that adds depth. As someone who's been crazy about fig lately, I'm not surprised I liked it. I think it should be considered completely unisex.

As for the bottle, it's simply gorgeous !

Light Blue pour Homme Capri in Love is a striking 2025 addition to the celebrated Light Blue fragrance collection, yet it markedly departs from the series’ traditional compositions.
This scent conjures an aromatic vista of the renowned Capri island, blending the lush sweetness of fig, the fiery zest of pepper, and the profound richness of patchouli in a luxurious, unconventional harmony. Far from being a mere extension of the Light Blue lineage, it stands as an independent olfactory realm, united only by its name. The essence of the fragrance is the vibrant, sun-kissed fig, redolent of Italy’s coastal shores. This natural, sumptuous sweetness defines the fragrance’s character, setting it apart as truly distinctive.
• Performance exceeds average, with notable longevity on the skin and strong sillage.
• It is perfectly suited for spring and summer, especially during mild evening occasions.

The bottle echoes the elegant, rectangular silhouette of the classic series, but is adorned with a traditional blue-and-white Majolica pattern, transforming it into a masterpiece that embodies Italy’s rich artistic and cultural heritage.

The opening is immediate and uncomplicated fresh, salty, marine. It puts you on a beach with a drink in hand without asking permission. No sophistication, no buildup, no complexity. Just summer, instantly.

It evolves into a soft sweetness that stays consistent through the dry-down. Nothing surprising, nothing demanding.

Projection is modest and longevity caps around five hours.

This isn't a fragrance that makes you think. It's one that makes you feel and for what it is, it does that job well. A straightforward warm-weather companion, not a statement piece.

The recent releases—Forever and Italian Love—were some of my favorites. They stood out with their raw grapefruit-dominant scent and distinct summer vibes. But Summer Vibes felt forgettable, and I gradually lost interest in the line.

Now, I decided to give it another shot. The opening was peppery, and I was about to pass on it—but I kept smelling, and it went through an interesting development. It started to turn sweeter, and then I got a fruity vibe that really threw me off because I never associated this line with fruity notes.

The fig note here isn’t exactly like Philosykos. It’s more focused on the fruit rather than the leafy green aspects. I'd say maybe 25% of it is rounded out with patchouli, giving it some depth. It’s not your typical green fig scent—it leans more toward the juicy, ripe fig side.

I think I’m picking up some woods in the base, and maybe just a hint of something aquatic—not salty or seaweedy, just a touch of freshness. But if you're looking for a true aquatic, this won’t quite hit that mark.

After the opening, it stays pretty linear. I don’t think this one is as divisive as Forever or Italian Love—the scent is smooth, not overly citrusy, with a pleasant sweetness that feels natural. The performance is decent—it lingers, which is about what you'd expect for a scent like this.

It’s definitely geared toward spring and summer, but honestly, you could wear it year-round in casual settings—even in the office. It could work as a standalone scent. It’s quite different from the original Light Blue, and I really like how it deviates from the usual direction of the line. It also stands apart from the other flankers, and for me, it’s absolutely worth a test—and even a full bottle.
