Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Violet Eau de Toilette

This is a lovely toilet water. It has a hint of violets, a touch of blackcurrant (not as pronounced as in other perfumes), and a slight hint of lilac (which is not mentioned in the description). It has a warm, fruity-floral scent, perfect for spring or summer. The fragrance sits close to the skin and does not have a long-lasting trail, lasting no more than 3 hours. Just like the peony, rose, and shine in this collection, it needs to be reapplied every few hours, so it's advisable to purchase a small spray bottle and carry it with you. Overall, I have positive impressions of both the fragrance and the delivery. As always, it was prompt and of high quality.

However, I do have one concern. I love Dolce Gabbana, but I was surprised to find that the bottle I received from Europe, thanks to makeup, had a sticker instead of engraving (as in previous bottles from the same series). The bottle itself is completely identical. It doesn't resemble a copy. (Because I have a genuine copy of Rosa Excelsa in my collection, which my friend bought without realizing it was a fake, and even the flower-shaped cap and the bottom of the bottle are different). Therefore, this original Dolce Gabbana bottle is absolutely no different from the others in this series, except for the engraving/sticker on the bottom.

I hope this is a trend of Dolce Gabbana trying to save on labeling rather than duplicating from Italy. I draw the attention of Make-up to this issue.

I have seen many counterfeits claiming to be from Procter & Gamble, England. They usually have a similar bottle design to the fake one: the same flower (which is more raised and taller, with a thicker bottom of the bottle). Therefore, it doesn't look very much like a counterfeit.
