The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2012 by Jean-Pierre Mary and Martine Pallix, Dolce&Gabbana Pour Femme is a full reformulation of the original 1992 scent. This new version opens with bright raspberry and mandarin orange before settling into a heart of jasmine and orange blossom, which gives way to a warm base of vanilla and sandalwood. Critics and longtime fans were divided upon its release; some found it too sweet and marshmallow-like, while others appreciated its modern twist on the original's signature notes.

How to wear it

This fragrance blooms best when applied directly to pulse points. The marshmallow note can be quite prominent initially but settles into a warm, powdery base over time. It's better for daytime wear as it can feel too sweet in the evening.
