Dolce Gabbana Pour Femme is the perfume water released by the Italian fashion house in 2012. It is a floral aroma with fruity notes and light gourmet notes. Read more about this fragrance, its pyramid, reviews and flanker below.
General view
Perfumery water Dolce Gabbana Pour Femme is an openly sensual, attractive feminine aroma. But bright and sharp woody notes do not allow him to become too cloying or youthful.
It has a long history - in fact, this is not just a novelty, released in 2012, but a re-release of one of the most popular perfumes at home, which had exactly the same name and has been produced since 1992.
The bottle was almost identical to the modern one - a simple rectangular shape, but the color of the liquid was golden and the lid was wide red.
But the most important difference was in the aroma itself - it was a rather heavy flower-aldehyde aroma, in which there was a sharpness, quite popular in the spirits of the late 80s - early and mid 90s.
The new version of the perfume is made in more delicate colors: the 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 it more appropriate to the new time. The image of a modern woman, her standards and preferences have changed, so the well-known, well-known perfume has become different.
The fragrance can be bought in bottles of different volumes - 4, 25, 50 ml, and a maxi version of 100 ml is also offered.
Advertising campaign
The Dolce Gabbana Pour Femme photo shoot and commercial was shot in sultry Sicily, and passions worthy of the whole movie were boiling in the frame.
The face of the fragrance was the luxurious Letizia Casta - 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 making an advertisement for Dolce Gabbana's house, 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 perfume). In the end, she decides to quietly leave the celebration to meet with him.
Pictures for the advertising campaign were made by Mario Testino, a famous fashion photographer.
Aroma pyramid
The perfume has rather standard notes for the flower family, which are woven into a harmonious composition, which is interestingly revealed over time and does not lose its charm even after a few (5-8) hours after application.
Here's what it looks like:
- top notes: mandarin orange, neroli oil, raspberries;
- middle notes are orange and jasmine;
- base notes are vanilla, marshmallow, heliotrope and sandalwood.
How does Dolce Gabbana Pour Femme smell?
First, the perfume opens with a tart chord of mandarin, faint raspberries 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 aroma an individuality and versatility.
But in the further disclosure, perfume becomes more and more traditional and predictable. White flowers play in his heart, and the most sweet components - vanilla and marshmallow - are revealed in the base. But the smell does not let the heliotrope flower freshness and rich sharpness of sandalwood become too sugary.
Dolce Gabbana Pour Femme EDP is a predictably fairly persistent fragrance that matches its price and status as a perfume. Therefore, with its dosage during application, you need to be careful. If you overdo it, then you run the risk of getting an overly sweet and sugary aroma that will make staying with you unpleasant for other people. But in moderate doses, he will surround with a gentle cloud of smell, which is felt at a short distance from you.
What do customers say about Dolce Gabbana Pour Femme?
Customer reviews who used the version of the fragrance of 1992 release often note that it has changed beyond recognition and thereby lost its character. From the image of the "Sicilian widow" so popular in the early 90s, which Monica Bellucci popularized in an advertisement for another fragrance from DG, he went into the image of just a cute, neat girl. This is not to say that this is bad, but there are many such aromas, moreover, in a much more modest price category.
And buyers who met Dolce Gabbana Pour Femme only in 2012 take him much more favorably. This is a sweet, delicate, but not commonplace aroma. It is quite universal and will be appropriate in the winter, and in the summer, and in the afternoon, and in the evening. The age requirements of the wearer are also difficult to determine: someone finds it too light, and therefore wearable only for young girls, someone believes that its sweetness is more suitable for a woman over 30 years old.
The most distinguished notes in the aroma are vanilla, marshmallows and raspberries.
Therefore, do not prematurely make up your mind about this fragrance according to other people - it is best to try it on occasion at a large cosmetic store or order a sampler.
