DGVIB3 — a modern amber composition by Dolce & Gabbana
DGVIB3 Eau de Parfum is a unisex fragrance by Dolce & Gabbana, released in 2023.
This eau de parfum is designed for those who enjoy expressive compositions balancing green freshness, gentle sweetness and warm amber tones.
The fragrance combines amber, aromatic and gourmand facets.
Its olfactory profile revolves around lavender, vanilla and amber: familiar notes come together in a concise, easy-to-read composition with a distinct character.
Character and development
DGVIB3 opens with lavender — green, aromatic and slightly cool.
As the composition unfolds, it becomes softer and more comforting: vanilla adds a creamy gourmand facet, while amber creates a warm, rounded base.
This contrast is precisely what makes the fragrance appealing for everyday wear: a fresh aromatic accent gives way to a more sensual and enveloping scent.
DGVIB3 is not tied to a single gender image and may be perceived differently depending on the skin, the weather and the amount applied.
The perfumer and the brand’s style
The composition was created by Aurélien Guichard, a perfumer entrusted with conveying the fragrance’s concept through the contrast of green lavender, sweet vanilla and amber warmth.
As a result, DGVIB3 feels modern and versatile while retaining the sensual expressiveness characteristic of the Dolce & Gabbana fragrance world.
The release continues the brand’s recognisable aesthetic, while making it more flexible and suited to free self-expression.
It is an option for those who prefer fragrances that are neither strictly masculine nor feminine, but rather a scent with a noticeable trail and a comfortable gourmand nuance.
Longevity, sillage and application
DGVIB3 has a noticeable sillage.
On skin, the fragrance can be applied so that you step into its cloud: spray it in front of you and walk through it, or apply it to pulse points, avoiding excessive amounts.
On clothing, 1 to 2 sprays are enough to preserve the presence of vanilla and amber without overwhelming the surrounding space.
DGVIB3 is especially worth trying in cool weather, in the evening or whenever you want a more expressive and warmer scent.
