D&G Anthology La Force 11 by Dolce&Gabbana

missk

La Force is fascinating to say the least, very gourmand yet sophisticated and stylish.

Perhaps due to the rich, yellow coloured liquid, I swore that I detected a banana note in the opening, rather like flambéed bananas drizzled with golden syrup. This initial scent disappears quickly though, giving way to a pleasant, soft floral blend.

The spicyness does take awhile to develop, but when it comes through, it is divine. This fragrance is not heavy, so those that tend to avoid strong, sugary gourmands, shouldn't be scared to try this one.

Although sweet and very dessert-like, (a cookie dough smell in particular), it manages to suit an older crowd and easily jump into unisex territory (the perfect mixture of masculine and feminine).

I did enjoy this fragrance immensely, however the sillage and lasting strength was pretty weak. I've been wearing this fragrance now for about 3 hours, and it is very faint, almost undetectable. If I loved this fragrance enough, I'd most likely decant some of the perfume into a purse atomiser so I could re-apply during the day.

i really like this perfume. there is something so sexy about it. i keep trying to think if it smells more like a woman or a man since it is unisex. i asked my older brothers and they said they wouldnt wear it because it smells more for a woman. i agree. i can see how some do think of it more for a man because it's strong, but it dies down into a really warm and exotic/oriental scent which i love.

I just tried and bought this one today. it doesn't necessarily conjure up a passionate feeling for it. But it's an excellent casual Fall/Winter fragrance. I actually think that this suits men moreso than it would women.

UPDATE: I judged this one WAY TOO SOON. I LOVE IT! After actually wearing this on my skin, it has achieved the results I had once hoped for Dior Homme. This one is a warm vanilla with a special twist. There's something "Arabic/Eastern" about #11 that blends with my skin chemistry to PERFECTION. La Force wears fairly close to the skin with just enough projection to draw someone closer to find out what you're wearing. As for the reviews below, I'm not sure what led to those impressions, but this fragrance is one that I'll be reaching for. Dior Homme didn't work well on my skin. This fragrance redeemed vanillas for me. I love it.

i love vanilla, cinnamon-just ok. i try it today and i dont feel like i have to buy it. i have very sharp nose and i know definitely my type just after smell it. and if i dont but it, i will always think about it. but nothing happen when i try this perfume. my intuition just kept quiet and i know that this is not the one for me. i cant remember the smell even after i hour i try it.

I have just tried it (and all the other ones as well). And, although it looks good notewise, in reality the fragrance is very mediocre. I LOVE oriental fragrances, with vanilla and cinnamon being one of my favourite notes. And here... they just are. But they are nothing special. To be quite fair after a couple of hours I already can't remember how La Force smelled like at all, which is a huge disappointment. I counted it might be my Autumn '09 fragrance.
