About the house
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana started the house in Legnano as designers. Sources differ on the founding year. Fashion came first, and the fragrances followed in collaboration with the Italian company Euroitalia. Dolce&Gabbana Pour Femme and Pour Homme are the first perfumes, and sources differ on whether they date to 1990 or 1992.
Light Blue for women launched in 2001, after the designers commissioned perfumer Olivier Cresp to create a fragrance inspired by Sicily. Development reportedly took over two years. It was Cresp's first fragrance for the brand. The house describes it as a fresh and seductive fragrance, and its advertising is set on Capri. A men's version, Light Blue pour Homme, followed in 2007.
The One for women arrived in 2006. Years later Cresp was interviewed about Devotion, another women's fragrance for the house, and said of it, "We didn't test it." He described the project as drawing on the designers' roots, with their DNA as the sacred part of it.
Stefano Gabbana stepped down as chair in December 2025, and reports say he has explored selling his 40% stake in the company. Separately, a Polish trade outlet reported that Dolce & Gabbana is putting 150 million euros into the development of its beauty segment.
