The flacon for Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Pour Homme blends the classicism of the shape that evokes the renowned bottle of Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme with the modernity and the freshness of a frosted glass and a “sky-blue” cap.

Light blue pour homme has refreshing Bergamot, Juicy, Sun-drenched Sicilian Mandarin, and the clean scent of frozen Grapefruit peel and Aromatic Juniper. Mediterranean Lightness with Aromatic rosemary, the subtle spice of Sichuan pepper and sensual rosewood. Strong Masculinity and an understated blend of American musk wood, incense and oak moss that together gently establish this signature, sensual scent. Innate Sexiness.

Let’s start by saying if you were a fan of the original pour femme, which launched in 1992, you will find very few similarities with this new version.

Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme perfume was redesigned in 2012 to renew it after 2 decades of success. This new take on the fragrance is more contemporary for the modern-day woman. It continues to produce an intensely floral effect, but offers a new twist.

Pour Femme opens with notes of neroli, sweet tangerine and fruity raspberry. Middle notes of orange blossom and classic lavender precede this strong opening. The twist comes in at the end as marshmallow sweeps in alongside vanilla, heliotrope, and earthy sandalwood to finish it off. The bottle is sleek, straightforward, and intentionally feminine with blush and gold colouring in a simple glass container.

This well-rounded fragrance is the whole package: masculine (creamy sandalwood), sexy (a touch of lavender), and refreshing (a riot of citrus). But the blend feels subtle, never like it’s trying too hard.

Already a classic. This fragrance has a truly sexy scent. The box has a deep blue velvety finish. When launched, this fragrance won all three awards at the International Academy Awards of The Academia del Profumo. (Best Fragrance, Best Packaging and Best Advertising)

The top notes are Bergamot, Mandarin, Orange, Neroli and Lemon with the heart notes of Levander, Sage, Tarragon, Cardamom and Pepper while the base notes ends off with Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Tonka bean, Musk, Tobacco, Iris and Coumarin.
