Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme ~ fragrance review

Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme

While having dinner at a restaurant recently, I noticed a pleasant scent — sweet, powdery, clean — coming from the direction of my waiter. I rarely ask men what fragrance they have on because lots of guys think that’s a too-personal question (and I don’t want to appear as if I’m “flirting” either) but for the first time in my life, I asked a waiter what perfume he was wearing. As I feared, he seemed taken aback at the question, uncomfortable; he hemmed and hawed, said he could not remember, and fled. Then, near the end of dinner, he returned to say he had remembered; it was the “blue” Dolce & Gabbana scent: “I have three bottles at home with different colored caps…this one is in the bottle with the dark blue cap.”

My eyes lit on the familiar gold and red Dolce & Gabbana bottle. In the 1990s, the original Dolce & Gabbana was in my regular perfume rotation. I loved its diffusion, hint of tangerine and spice, and wide load of oriental seduction. But I hadn’t smelled it for years. “Could you make me a sample of that one, too?” I asked and pointed at the bottle

Sure, the bottle looked more slender and elegant than the boxy rectangle I remembered, but the fragrance had so much personality I was sure it couldn’t have changed too much. I confidently spritzed my arm and lifted it to my nose, expecting a rush of memory.
