Magic scent
I read again and again that the fragrances of Dolce & Gabbana are too meaningless, boring, nothing special, etc.. Since tastes are obviously different again, as people are now times.

I, for example, have the same opinion about Lancome fragrances. For me, they all smell the same. The headache and leave fragrance clouds in the supermarket.

Now for one of my favorite scents.... I didn't know what to expect as I bought the fragrance blind. The One is gold and warm, light blue is blue and fresh. Fits well. Now what do I expect from pink/berry/gold? Foil off. Velvet! My little heart beats a little faster. Swipe it..Hmm...that can only be good. Here we go...open the box. The flacon pleases me already times really well. Then I spray on the one hand very carefully, on the other hand directly on me (not as usual in the crook of the arm to test). So, where can I insert sparkling stars here now?
I am in love with shock and at that moment my husband comes around the corner and asks what smells so great here. Something fresh and fruity, but not intrusive, the creaminess is also immediately there, yet extremely perceptible. Then it gets creamier, soft, classy and just incredibly well matched. Not soapy, not too dry powdery, not too tangy.
I am now also still engaged. In the afternoon I make with my girlfriend a walk in the woods, afterwards she tells me that I smell incredibly good and what that is. Is but much too bad for the forest. Zack so fast one is married. I will never leave this scent again.

PS I discovered him only in 2020.

Teen Love
I would like to dedicate my first comment to my first great fragrance love.

As a teenager I discovered pour Femme by chance and he wouldn't let go of me. Every time I went to the perfumery (which is rare at that age, considering the small budget), I had to sniff him. I never dared to spray him on, he seemed so grown up to me.

Years later I'm standing in front of the D&G shelf and hope that the latest release (The Only One Intense) will be warm, cuddly, buttery, soft and cuddly. Unfortunately none of this. There my old treasure catches my eye. One sprayer is enough: Pour Femme is everything I wanted from The Only One Intense and on top of that I feel "grown up enough" (if there is such a thing is on another page...).

Enough gibberish, for me the fragrance is like this:
At the beginning: no raspberry acid or tangerine freshness, no flowers at all
In the heart: Jasmine is sweetish (not loud, not slapping!), O-flower maybe also (?)
In the base and with me, actually, in the entire fragrance process: Vanilla-Marshmallow treat in the most unsweet and flattering way at all, because from the marshmallow comes not a sugary and childlike, but a soft-powdery sweetness (as from the dusty surface of the marshmallow).
I would even go so far as to say that despite the gourmand notes, he is not a gourmand, and that makes him elegant for me, but also an evergreen.

I'm so glad I ran into him again by chance.

P.S.: Please forgive the possible bumbling in one place or another :) O-flowers - never smelled. Heliotrope - does it grow at all in Germany? Who smells marshmallows?! - You eat them! ;)

Oh Italia
I once took the ferry from Naples to Ischia, on the way to the long-awaited island holiday it was the last leg. Passing Procida I went in about one hour to the flower island in the gulf of Naples. And the smell when we arrived there, that was it! (I wore MAgie Noire, so it was not me who spread the perfume) I used to love to wear the "old" Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme (1992 version), affectionately called "red cap", and now I have recently rediscovered the new edition of 2012 or dared to give it a new chance. It's not the same, but similar, it captures the mood, that certain Italian something, that warm femininity, a mixture of elegance and sensuality and - forgive me the profanity: kitchen herbs - some of the waxy heaviness of the old version has disappeared, but I was pleased and surprised to find something of my also missing and equally beloved Sicily again, honeysuckle is not mentioned, so it probably won't be (but maybe it's included anyway....), so I suspect the combination of heliotrope, jasmine and sandalwood to have something in common.

Orange blossoms give freshness, the sweet soft powder looks elegant, spices I think I can recognize, up to the herbalism, sweet almond biscuits, some sandalwood in the base.
A warm evening in summer or a cool winter afternoon, it always fits!
Italian elegance, lots of temperament and warmth that gives a lot of security. Feminine!

I have not regretted the new beginning and I reach for this "all round" more often than I thought.

Artificial sweetness
After smelling this today I whas totaly dissapointed. Is this the replacement of the classic femme? Wow D&G are you sure you know what youre doing.
After putting this on skin I smell a artificial sweet Raspberry scent with a bit of citrus. In that stage you can say it smells vagly like the top notes of the classic one but not for long. It turns a bit woody and bittersweet I guess there is the marshmallow I dont like this, has no sillage at all.
This cant compeed with the original Femme at all. In my opinion a bad replacement

swing and a miss
After reading reviews on another site, I had expected to like this one. Unfortunately, I do not after 3 wearings. Tuberose, orange flower, and marshmallow clash and fight to be dominant. This creates a chemical soup of a smell, and it gave me a headache every time I wore it.

The original red cap was bold and beautiful. Pour Femme does not hold a candle to it.

Light and sweet like Smarties candy; appropriate for daytime and spring/summer wear. Fairly linear; mostly sweet with a tiny bit of neroli.

Classic case of false advertising. Sultry shots of Casta don't really align with this droll semi sweetness. Neroli is redemption after 1hr.

If you are a fan of the glorious spicy 90es version, forget it. This scent is lightier, fruitier, "younger" and totally different. Not 4 me
