D&G L'Impératrice 3 
Dolce & Gabbana (2009)

Like a watermelon-rhubarb margaritas with your boyfriend on his boat, listening to your favorite music in the warm summer sun looking out onto the sparkling blue lake. A very pleasant summer fragrance. It reminds me of hair freshly washed with a fruity-floral shampoo. Simple, juicy, joyful, delicious, sweet and aquatic.

On the initial spray you're greeted with a loud tart rhubarb with refreshing aquatic watermelon and a juicy kiwi. The aquatic notes turn this into such a refreshing fragrance. The jasmine does add the candied edge to this. Finally the dry downs are unisex and muskier, mature with a warm musk and some sandalwood. It's a type of fragrance you can wear while on vacation, enjoying long hot days and warm nights on the beach.

A fruity watermelon opening note sees nice kiwi fruit impression intermingled with it, resulting in a pleasantly summery beginning. I get a rhubarb-like component in the drydown, followed by a musky base; the latter is a bit less well made.

I get soft sillage, decent projection and five hours of longevity. Not particularly exciting but well made - this is overall pleasant and nice. 2.5/5
