The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

D G Masculine by Dolce&Gabbana was launched in 1999 and created by perfumer Max Gavarry. This Woody Aromatic fragrance is a blend of citrus, green, and fresh spicy notes that evoke the essence of Italian elegance. The composition opens with bergamot and petitgrain, giving way to clary sage and mint for an invigorating freshness. Orange blossom and jasmine provide a soft floral heart, while teak wood, vetiver, and cedar offer a grounding woody base that is complemented by musk and fig leaf. This fragrance captures the essence of Dolce&Gabbana's signature style — bold yet refined.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for maximum impact. The citrus opening will be most noticeable in the first hour, after which the woody base notes will linger throughout the day. Best experienced close to skin rather than from a distance.

Grasse in his blood

Max Gavarry was born in Grasse, where his father worked as a gardener and his grandfather cultivated and distilled lavender — an upbringing that made a career in perfumery feel inevitable.
