Dolce Gabbana Pour Femme is an eau de parfum launched by the Italian fashion house in 2012. It is a floral fragrance with fruity notes and light gourmet notes. Read more about this fragrance, its pyramid, reviews and flanker below.
General view
Dolce Gabbana Pour Femme Eau de Parfum is an overtly sensual, alluring feminine fragrance. But bright and sharp woody notes do not allow it to become too cloying or youthful.
It has a long history - in fact, it is not just a novelty that came out in 2012, but a re-release of one of the most popular perfumes of the house, which had the exact same name and was produced since 1992.
The bottle was almost identical to the modern bottle - a simple rectangular shape, but the color of the liquid was golden, and the cap was wide red.
But the main difference was in the fragrance itself - it was a rather heavy floral-aldehyde fragrance, in which there was also a sharpness, quite popular in perfumes of the late 80s - early and mid 90s.
Uof the new version of the perfume, the design is made in more delicate colors: a light pink liquid is enclosed in a transparent bottle with a burgundy cap, which corresponds to a more delicate and light smell.
According to the founders of Dolce Gabbana themselves, after 20 years, their fashion house has changed a lot, and it's time to update the products in order to make them more relevant to the new time. The image of a modern woman, her standards and preferences have also changed, and therefore the well-known, well-known perfume has become different.
Fragrance is available in 4, 25, 50 ml bottles and a 100 ml maxi version.
Advertising campaign
The photo shoot and promo video for Dolce Gabbana Pour Femme was filmed in sultry Sicily, and passions worthy of a whole film were seething in the frame.
The luxurious Laetitia Casta became the face of the fragrance - despite the fact that she is French, she brilliantly coped with the role of a passionate Italian. The actress and model perfectly embodied the image of a sensual but strong woman who does not deny herself the pleasure of living luxuriously, by her own rules and is ready to achieve everything she wants.
According to the plot of the video, shot by the famous director Giuseppe Tornatore, who is not the first time doing advertising for the house of Dolce Gabbana, Letizia is a guest at a traditional Sicilian wedding. But she can't stop remembering her lover, played by American actor Noah Mills (the face of the male version of the perfume). ATin the end, she decides to quietly leave the celebration to meet him.
The campaign was shot by renowned fashion photographer Mario Testino.
Fragrance Pyramid
The perfume has rather standard notes for the floral family, which are woven into a harmonious composition that interestingly reveals itself over time and does not lose its charm even after a few (5-8) hours after application.
This is what it looks like:
- top notes: mandarin, neroli oil, raspberry;
- heart notes: orange blossom and jasmine;
- base notes: vanilla, marshmallow, heliotrope and sandalwood.
How does Dolce Gabbana Pour Femme smell?
First, the perfume opens with a tart accord of mandarin, subtle raspberry and bright, sunny, citrus neroli oil. An interesting contrast is formed between the warm sweetness of fruits and berries, and something sharp and fresh. It is not very noticeable and sharp, but only gives the fragrance individuality and versatility.
But as the perfume unfolds, it becomes more traditional and predictable. White flowers play in its heart, and the sweetest components - vanilla and marshmallow - are revealed in the base. But the scent is kept from becoming too cloying by the floral freshness of heliotrope and the rich harshness of sandalwood.
Dolce Gabbana Pour Femme EDP is a predictably long-lasting fragrance that matches its price and Eau de Parfum status. Therefore, with its dosage when applied, you need to be careful. If you overdo it, then youyou run the risk of getting an overly sweet and cloying aroma that will make being around you unpleasant for other people. But in moderate doses, it will surround you with a gentle cloud of smell that is felt at a short distance from you.
What do customers say about Dolce Gabbana Pour Femme?
Reviews from customers who used the 1992 version of the fragrance often note that it has changed beyond recognition and thus lost its character. From the image of the “Sicilian widow”, so popular in the early 90s, which was popularized by Monica Bellucci in an advertisement for another fragrance from DG, he went into the image of just a nice, neat girl. This is not to say that this is bad, but there are many such fragrances, and in a much more modest price category.
And buyers who met Dolce Gabbana Pour Femme only in 2012 perceive it much more favorably. This is a sweet, delicate, but not banal fragrance. It is quite versatile and will be appropriate in winter, and in summer, and in the afternoon, and in the evening. The wearer's age requirements are also difficult to determine: someone finds it too light, and therefore wearable only for young girls, someone thinks that its sweetness is more suitable for a woman over 30.
The most prominent notes in the fragrance are vanilla, marshmallow and raspberry.
Therefore, do not prematurely form your opinion about this fragrance according to other people - it is best to try it out in a large cosmetic store or order a sample.
