Light Blue Sunset In Salina

The Discontinued 2015 Aeolian Limited Edition

Light Blue Sunset in Salina launched in 2015 as part of D&G’s Light Blue limited edition series, inspired by sunset on the Aeolian island of Salina. The brief was a fresh feminine composition built around orange blossom and jasmine at the opening, vine leaves, freesia and violet at the heart, and a base of amber and cedar. Where the standard Light Blue reads as bright Mediterranean citrus floral, Sunset in Salina pulled into more floral territory with vine leaves adding a quiet green Italian-summer character. As an annual limited edition, the composition was retired after its season ended. Original bottles continue to sell on resale platforms. Our interpretation respects the floral character.

How It Smells

The opening is bright and slightly green, orange blossom leading with its honeyed white floral citrus character, jasmine adding creamier white floral support, and a quiet sparkling brightness threading through the early phase. Within fifteen minutes the floral heart unfolds: vine leaves take a leading role with their distinctive green Italian-summer character (an unusual note in mainstream feminine perfumery), freesia adds a clean dewy floral support, violet contributes a soft slightly powdered floral nuance, and a soft floral character continues threading through the middle. The base is the perfume’s polished anchor. Amber wraps the composition in luminous warm depth, cedar adds clean wood structure, and a quiet musky character grounds the finish. The overall impression is polished Italian-summer floral feminine luxury.

The Notes

Top: orange blossom, jasmine.

How Our Version Compares

With Sunset in Salina retired as a 2015 limited edition, finding original bottles has become difficult. Resale platforms continue to list bottles at climbing prices. Our European Union production at 40 percent perfume oil concentration brings the composition back at proper density, with the orange blossom jasmine opening sparkling cleanly, the vine leaves freesia violet heart holding through the wearing, and the amber cedar drydown lasting well into the next day on clothing.

Summer evenings especially, when the floral amber character reads at its best. The composition was clearly designed for golden-hour Mediterranean occasions.
