Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme Notes Breakdown

Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme opens with lavender, lemon, bergamot, clary sage, tarragon, mandarin orange, orange and neroli — the first impression as it hits the skin. As the opening settles, the composition pivots to its heart of pepper, cinnamon, coriander, geranium, violet, jasmine and rose. The final act — the part that outlasts the working day — is tobacco, tonka bean, sandalwood, musk, cedar, amber, coumarin and iris.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads aromatic, citrus — easy to place and easy to wear.
