A unique ocean breeze and clean cotton scent
This one surprised me. I was planning to pass on it, as aquatic scents aren’t really my thing but this isn’t aquatic at all. This one was an instant LOVE and I’ll probably buy a back up bottle! I’d never tried Gleam before, but I now have the full Villeggiatura Collection!
This is Domenica for me - You’re on holiday and have been relaxing in the summer sun on the beach all day. It’s maybe late afternoon/early evening, but it’s still really warm outside. You’ve just put on a clean cotton dress or shirt, but you smell remnants of your suntan lotion as you pack your stuff up for the day. You’re catching the last of the sunshine, walking along the beach while the sun sets. You can also smell the salty sea water on your skin and through your hair, while you breathe in the ocean. Domenica is the mix of smells you get in this moment. It’s a cotton fresh, oceanic (without being aquatic) scent. It’s absolutely gorgeous. It’s a clean cotton with a beautiful uniqueness. My boyfriend instantly smelt this as soon as he got home from work (two rooms away!). His instant reaction was “it smells really good in here!” So the sillage and projection on this scent is strong, but overall very relaxing and fresh, with a sea breeze. I absolutely adore it! 10/10!
I love every scent from this entire collection, but my favourites (in this order) are:
#1 Scottatura - A unique aloe Vera, green tea and ocean breeze.
UPDATE (June 2025) - Ive already used 1/2 of my bottle and have a back up on the way! I wear it daily for work as a Nurse. It’s light and amazingly cooling in heat! Out of my full collection of over 100 fragrances, this is my ultimate favourite currently. I just can’t get enough of it!
#2 Domenica - The one I thought I wouldn’t like. A relaxing, solar/ocean breeze and clean cotton scent. Stunning!
#3 Cocco Bello - A beautiful coconut water and banana scent. Also very relaxing.
Shared #4: Afa (the most unique one. It creates the scene for me of sitting with a glass bottle of Coca Cola, surrounded by flowers in the summer heat, sounds weird but it’s a must try. It’s addictive!), Camporella (hay, camomile tea & wild flowers) & Gelatino (An ice cream cone dipped in hazelnuts, melting from start to finish. Amazing dry down!)
Each scent is super unique and takes you on a journey in the heat of summer sun. To me these are olfactory masterpieces! I have reviewed every one of these in depth. I highly recommend trying these. Well done Gleam!
