Dolce&Gabbana Pour Femme Dolce&Gabbana for women

One of the (very) few perfumes I got a total crush on as soon as sprayed for the first time, something very close to what happened between my nose and the wonderful L’Instant de Guerlain a bunch of years ago.

Pour Femme, to me, is one of the greatest achievements of the Italian brand in the last ten years at least, and after several tests I can finally tell the world this one has everything the fragrance of my dreams should have: it is overly sensual and feminine, and I mean that with big capital S and F, so much that I feel like I love myself more each time I spray it on my skin… the raspberry in the opening is delicious and tempting, slightly tempered by citrus hints, but that’s almost nothing compared to what comes soon after.. a to die for - warm, creamy, inviting - marshmallow note, one of the yummiest things I came across so far.. I find it really strange Pour Femme is not labeled as floral fruity gourmand (or at least, as floral oriental), there are no prominent floral notes I could think of while smelling this beauty, if not probably a thin jasmine and a quite understated heliotrope in the heart.
Buttery soft sweets, luscious vanilla and ripe raspberry are absolutely dominant here, giving the sensation of wearing a silky robe while relaxing on a smooth and fluffy sofa..and while the enchanting gourmand melody doesn’t seem to change through the hours it somehow gets more and more refined, more and more desirable, as the creaminess leaves way to powderness (something I totally love!).. a bit predictable and probably “already smelled” composition, yes, but usually I’m not annoyed by fragrances that remind me something I regularly can’t put my fingers on. A place, another perfume, who knows? It’s a comforting sensation, to me.
Sillage and longevity are not exceptional but still satisfying, about 6 hours on skin or even more in cold weather (on clothes I happened to smell it even after laundry). Now that I’m here: D&G, why don’t give the gracious La Lune and L’Imperatrice another chance with EDP formulas and more lasting bases?

In the absolutely crowded “sweet-tooth” category Pour Femme exudes sobriety, in my humblest opinion conveying a traditional femininity image (butterflywarrior's review expresses my exact feelings about this fragrance)... and, by the way, what heartless guy could resist a woman wearing such a perfectly done, innocent and sensual scent?
That said, I think I won’t resist too much from getting the 25 ml bottle, it’s quite obvious this is a love call :)

I bought a miniature on eBay, and dispense a big bottle.
I was charmed with the packaging luxurious velvety.
The box has almost twice the size of the bottle.
In the first minutes is very soft, then gets stronger and very sweet.
Combines with the summer.

Eu comprei uma miniatura no eBay, e dispenso um frasco grande.
Me encantei com a embalagem luxuosa aveludada.
A caixa tem quase o dobro do tamanho do frasco.
Nos minutos iniciais fica bem suave, depois fica mais forte e bem doce.
Combina com o verão.

There is no resemblance to the Cherry In The Air, which in my skin has a woody note which I wrap the stomach.
The Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme is pretty bland.
It's basically sugar and marshmallow.
I managed to find a small resemblance to the traditional Dolce & Gabbana Red.
Greetings from the Brasil! :)

Não há nenhuma semelhança com o Cherry In The Air, que na minha pele predomina uma nota amadeirada que me embrulha o estômago.
O Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme é muito sem graça.
É basicamente açúcar e marshmallow.
Consegui encontrar uma pequena semelhança com o tradicional Dolce & Gabbana Red.
Saudações do Brasil! :)

The Original was absolutely breathtaking, womanly and classic!

This watered down sugary version is just awful.. it almost feels like D&G delibrately toned down the sophistication on the newer version to please the masses, perhaps lowering standards to try and appeal to the pink sugar/angel/celebrity fragrance crowds.

I do wonder if this newer version will prove to be too much of a step-up for the masses and perhaps not quite "enough" for real perfumistas.

Perfume purgatory.

This one is sexy but not dirty. It stands for innocence seduction, clean flowery little bit soapy. very nice for summer & spring calm nights as well as for romantic moments.

One of my favorites as well. It's very sweet and vanilla My kids love that one. I wore it all last winter ! It's yummy!

The neroli and mandarine notes appear from the very beginning sweetened by the vanilla. It reminds me a lot of Armani Code. This is a lovely velvety fragrance which envelopes you from the start. It has a pleasant vanilla drydown. This fragrance is sweet but not sickly sweet. I like it, it's sexy and feminine. Not something I would wear all the time, but it's a good change for somebody like me who loves dry, almost masculine fragrances.

D&G Femme is definitely a more floral and sophisticated marshmallow fragrance. I'd even go so far as to call it "perfumey". I can hardly sense the raspberry at all. It is a powdery sweet flower laden vanilla marshmallow. It is thicker and warm, and probably best suited for fall or winter. It is fuzzy and a bit musky, but the floral notes create a slight edge. It is a simple and comfortable sweet and floral essence with an air of maturity. It really lasts!
I just can't see why this fragrance is being compared to Cherry In The Air. I went and tried them side by side yesterday, and they are very different to my nose. Cherry In The Air actually smelled a lot more like RL Big Pony 4 for women. This is not fruity fragrance, and is definitely more substantial.

This is a nice sweet fragrance. The marshmallow note reminds me of playdough though.

smell like the cherry perfume from escada. love it though, i would not say it is a copy, it is more like a close sister :) cute and easy to wear!

thanks for your all reviews of this perfume, i bought it and i like it very very much, i love it!!! it's sweet and beautiful vanilla and flowers...lovely!!!

It's a feast of sweet perfume that has great length on me and very pleasantly surprised!
Wonderful journey of the senses, a wave of momentum, a dance-flavored WOMEN

WOW.

A must have. It's one of those fragrances that is super strong but not over powering to the nose kinda like a new car smell you love smelling but one that takes your senses to a whole diffrent level.

Dolce&Gabbana in my opinion are the sexiest designers in the world. If you actually analyze the new collections by Tom Ford, Alexander McQueen, BV etc you can see all these designers have copied them 360 degrees ESP Tom....

Back in the Day when DG would introduce new SEXY styles to the world, the amount of criticism they would receive from their controversial ADs was ridiculous!!

Now when TF does it it's ok???? Haha it makes me mad knowing this but hey if you gotta cheat to get ahead do it.


DG you will always be the sexiest if all designers to ever hit earth. Even now as your styles are appealing to middle age customers you can look at a peice of clothing and say "that's def DG"

-I just hope the ametuers don't steal your style and label it as "American Luxury"

I smell much more neroli and jasmine in this than marshmallow. When I think of marshmallows I think of synthetic pork-gelatin-sugar-goo, which seems to be exactly what some have got from this perfume-but me not at all. I was pleasantly surprised and now a favorite and purchased a big bottle. To me this is something bridgette bardot would wear, vuluptuous and sunny at the same time.

This perfume smells heavenly when first applied even though it is a bit strong however after that faded I couldn't even smell anything on my skin. So disappointed as this is an EDP so should have somje longevity and also becase I did love the scent. Glad I only have a sample vial. Hopefully others will have better luck with this one.

When I sniffed it at first I could hardly detect it, but nowadays it's a very yummy smell for me. Sometimes I have the same experience, after testing, loving, and then buying some parfumes, I can't feel the same "something" like at the first sampling. But with time I get again what I am waitning for. I hope you'll like it.

I had been procrastinating in getting Pour Femme forma year when I finally decided to get it. I got a lotion sample from Paris CDG airport's duty free. It was sooo lovely my skin. So, when i travelled to Jakarta, I bought a 100ml bottle from the Duty free.
Today, my 2nd time wearing it, Somehow, i did not get the same scent. It just smelled of alcohol. Likewise with the lotion. No sweetness. Very light powdery scent that i have to sniff hard to smell it, But seriously, how can my skin smell differently?
Thinking its my olfactory cranking up, I smelled all my other bottles of perfume. I can smell them from the bottle, Not Pour Femme,
This is weird for me because I had been a user of The One for three years. Somehow, this doesnt work for me.

First I smell white florals mixed with citrus and sweet powdery vanilla in the background. A sweet luxury sophisticated fragrance. Smells so good and special. This will go into my collection in top favorite parfumes! :D

Staying power is great and it last many hours on the skin.

Nice, tender and sweet, i will try to get it, very recommended perfume, the best of d&g stuff.

This is my new perfume, love it, was a surprice fined.

I got this perfume in Christmas time and I think it's good for that time of the year cause it's sweet but not like Juicy Couture type of sweet, not at all. It's more of a vanilla scent, really sophisticated and quite elegant/slight sexy like other Dolce & Gabbana perfumes.
I don't really dare to say that this fragrance is one of my favourites though, too much vanilla for me but it's still a really really good perfume but I'm not a big fan of the smell of vanilla.
I try it out at a department store like in one of those tiny pieces of kinda paper and it smelled so good! And that's why I bought it but at the next day that I applied it, I smelled too much vanilla and I kinda regret buying it but I mean that doesn't mean that's not delicious cause it is, it's such a good perfume but just as I've mentioned before, I'm not a big fan of vanilla so I really recommend applying it on your skin and let it soak it before you buy it.
Another thing that I like about this perfume is that it does last quite a long time.

I sprayed this on while in Sephora this morning, it is almost a very light more vanilla version of The One on me. I like The One better but it must be applied vith a very light touch, Pour Femme can be spritzed a little more liberally. Pour Femme is a spring/summer fragrance whereas The One is more of a cold weather scent. I think I would have like PF better if it didn't have a "dusty" sort of note on me.

Sillage: 2/5 on me it's a very close to the skin scent
Longevity: 4/5 six hours and I can still smell it
Overall: For Me it's a 3/5 due to the dusty note

When I had this on my arm, I couldn't help but think 'This might be what Pink Sugar's mom smells like'.

On me, this was heavy, warm and sweet. I can see why someone would love wearing this like a comforting blanket during winter; I have trouble picturing anyone wearing this in summer. The raspberry/marshmallow and the vanilla do make for quite a linear scent... although at one point, about three hours after spraying this on, all I could smell was lemon dishwasher detergent?! Then, a half hour later, it was back to the raspberry/marshmallow and vanilla scent. Don't know if that was a nose hiccup, or what.

I won't buy this because 1) it's too expensive for what it is, 2) it reminds me of someone, although I'm not sure who, and 3) I wasn't really that enamored with this perfume. I actually prefer Pink Sugar, and I can't wear that more than twice a month without wanting to chuck it out the window.

But I can see why someone who doesn't feel the same way about 2 and 3 would save up to buy a bottle of this, and I wouldn't mind smelling this on someone else :)

Over Christmas I started working in perfume at a department store. I stayed on part time while finishing school, and have tried on many, many perfumes. This is the one I keep going back to. It is soft, sweet, and sexy. Very simple, but oh so elegant. It will of course depend on your own body chemistry, and even that changes over time. I have always tended to dry skin, and run cool, not easily overheated or sweaty. On me, this scent is fantastic, and I find it oddly comforting, too. However, a coworker and I tried on another fragrance recently (Jessica McClintock's Dancing), and it was unbelievable how differently it smelled on each of us! Wonderful on her, awful on me. So, you really must try it on and decide for yourself.

I agree with Charmedbella about the simplicity of this scent. I also admit that this isn't the most original one in the world. I was put off a bit by the bad reviews that describe it as boring and forgettable. Yet I can't help finding this scent alluring. I sprayed it on my wrist several times at the drugstores and finally decided to buy the 25 ml bottle. I think I won't regret it: if Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme is not outstanding, it makes her a versatile scent in the sense that you can indeed wear it to work, family occasions or for a night out. I wore it to a family lunch yesterday and it was suitable but at the same time I felt sexy. The smell is quite sweet and soothing too in a cuddly way. I like the bottle, and especially the box: its velvety texture sums up the perfume's essence: sensual, welcoming without being too much.

I originally smelled this on a fragrance card at a department store. I really liked it! I liked it enough that I decided to buy a bottle.

On me, I get nothing but marshmallow and vanilla, no fruit at all. It is creamy, sweet, and linear, but I expected it to be linear. While it may not be particuarly complex, as long as you purchase this scent knowing it isn't complex, then it is lovely.

I don't find this to be heavy sillage-wise. I think this is an ideal first date perfume, it sits close to the skin. It makes you feel feminine, girly, and a little playful thanks to the marshmallow notes.

I find this could easily translate from day to night. I can picture a woman wearing this to a delicious Sunday brunch, an afternoon baby shower, or a night out with her girlfriends to a chic bar.

Also, I find this would be a perfect fragrance for layering. I can easily layer this with La Vie Est Belle or even the creamy, white chocolate dry down of Chanel's Coromandel.

While I do thoroughly enjoy this scent and am glad to have purchased it, I'm not completely sure I'd repurchase due to it's very linear, non-complex nature. But sometimes you just want a scent that isn't complex or fussy... and Pour Femme is an easy to wear fragrance that doesn't try to be something it's not. Accept this perfume for what it is: lovely, sweet, creamy, feminine.

I lovvvvve this one. Do you get the same feeling like me? I just want to EAT my wrists :-)))

LOVE IT!!! Very chic!

I sprayed Pour Femme on my wrist at the fragrance counter while I was at the mall. At first, I thought: gorgeous scent but maybe a tad on the strong side for me. But as the fragrance settled on my skin it became this delicious silky, warm, sultry, powdery, vanilla, raspberry scent that I just fell in love with. Not too strong, not "in your face" at all, just perfect. Love this!

Soft & fruity, with a hint of floral, slightly sweet but in a delicate way. It has something for everybody. This one is easy and safe--not intense, but comforting. I think it's perfect for all ages and a great choice for those that work with the public--medical professionals, teachers. It won't blast anyone as you walk by, but will softly announce its unique presence when someone gets close.

Since some reviewers find a similarity to Mariah Carey M I tested M on one arm and Dolce & Gabbana woman on the other arm. I can see why someone would see a similarity - yes there is marshmallow in both these perfumes but I never knew marshmallows can have such different tastes! The D&G one is a fruity marshmallow to start with. The scent seemed to show little development on my skin. It started like the whole orchestra playing one big fat marshmallow raspberry note that became softer as time passed by. Longevity is poor compared to Mariah Carey M (which I find to be a more wearable and balanced composition) and I would also agree that D&G stays close to skin. If I had to say what it initially reminded me of it would be Pink Sugar Sensual, although the notes aren't very similar!

Dolce & Gabbana did a fabulous job on this scent. It is very sweet and syrupy but tastefully done. Definitely for those who enjoy the sweeter side of life. I’ve not smelled anything similar to date. On my skin it had a cotton candy-ish scent. Love it but it’s just not for me.

The first few minutes had me worrying--raspberry candy, marshmallow and a not-unpleasant unknown flower, from which jasmine slowly emerged. By the half hour mark the unknown flower was gone and completely replaced by the jasmine/raspberry/marshmallow confection, joined by a certain base warmth (I can't pick out the specific musk or sandalwood itself, just enough of wood/musk to keep this from being cold). It skirted the edge of cloying for the first half hour, and the jasmine was a little "in your face" for awhile, but now it has mellowed out to a nice, balanced, decidedly sweet scent with low sillage (which I appreciate). I feared its sweetness would eventually veer into stickiness, as D&G Light Blue did on my skin, but it just mellowed to a nice marshmallow cream and sandlewood aroma. Very nice.

Nice for a cool spring day, but might be too sticky-sweet come summer and probably not warm enough for winter.

LOVE it!!!! Smells SWEET VANILLA , but EXPENSIVE and CHIC!

This is a lovely raspberry,marshmallow,cotton candy scent..i will tell you this smells like Prada Candy without that funny note that's in Prada that reminds me of some weird warm fuzzy playdo..it's not that Prada Candy has that playdo smell its just that it has that note and feel that was similar to the feel of Hypnotic Poison that i hated..this weird note i just can't put my finger on..back to this fume.. like i said it smells like Prada Candy with the cotton candy smell but its nicer without that bad note and it last longer..this is a sweeter sophisticated more mature scent that grabs you its not tart sweet but its more berry cream sweet and i would recommend this if your looking for a gourmand but one that is not so cloyying as the celebrity scents which i love but am no longer allowed to wear...this is sweet but its not sweet like Angel so this is more wearable for everyone!

First of all I HATE sweet scents BUT this is really unique one in my opinion I like it a lot . for all sweet haters just try this one ;) it is probably the raspberry note that same in the armani diamonds. Its really yummy :)

I have to smell it again as if the department store I just couldn't distinguish scents anymore...

But I'm here to ask you - have you seen the ad?! The video on YouTube? It's SO amazing, so beautiful, so Sicilian, absolutely seductive and adventurous. The ad is the only reason I'm considering smelling this sweet perfume (don't even like sweet scents too much).

this perfume so sweet and powdery in same time when i first spray it in faces store and it dry down l can 't stop sniff my hand it really charmed me so elegant and feminine in same time. very well mixed powder &sweety note which make it unique and more speacial. than other sweety fragrance as pink sugar l find it so heavy for me. but dolce &gabanna is so comfort for me not over powering Speacially after dry down.the perfect use is for night and intimate moments as well winter fragrance , it's very expensive but l bought it cause i think it really worth to add it to my collection .

Too sweet, too sticky and overwhelming... not for me

i tried a 1/2 of a sample and that really was enough for me. i love sweet scents, probably before all others, but this is way too much even for me. it's sweet and heavy. the kind of sweetness that gets stuck in your throat and makes it feel fuzzy. if it was a bit lighter i would wear it, as i really like marshmallow notes. i do like the rasberry in this.

Cloying, syrupy, sickly sweet. Not for me.

This is so yummy!
Nutty, woody marshmallow, sweet but not too sweet (lasting power is really good too). The notes suggest a generic scent but I promise you it most certainly is not. It's fun, flirty and sexy. I love it.

okay, YES this is sweet, like marshmellow sweet.
but i wouldn't have spent way too much money for a 100ml if it wasn't rich and captivating from the first sniff.
it's ultra feminine and sticks to the skin in a good way. leaves you wanting more. i think it's so divinve it could pass for all ages, women everywhere.
it's not a strong, powerhouse scent. it's more along the lines of what you wear when you want to be desires, catch someone's eye.
sweet creamy marshmellow, raspberry, hint of white flowers and vanille.
yum

I really loved this one, after testing it on my skin. I was ready to buy it, but let my boyfriend smell it just for the heck of it. He hated it!! He even found it disgusting.. I guess it was too artificial candy smelling for him. So for now it's of the to-buy-list.

My boyfriend bought this for me while we were shopping at Macy's. I love this so much, to me I get a very light scent of Root Beer, although I'm sure it's probably the Vanilla. Very sexy, but classy perfume. This one is expensive, but worth every penny.

Buy it for my gf and I really love the smell . Sweet but not sick . Love it. Note I'm a man. Still smell after 7h. :))

Pretty, sophisticated berries and marshmallows. Too floral and musky to smell over the top in what some people might find very young. This is what I would call an office gourmand. Crowd pleasing and subtle. A lot like cherry in the air, just aged by about 10 years.

Love love love this soft, delicate gourmand fragrance. I'm usually quite sensitive and can't wear perfume, but I can wear this because although it lasts a long time, it's not overpowering. I can't stop smelling my wrists, which is quite amazing considering I used to run a mile whenever anyone had perfume on. I have two sons, who think I smell wonderful, which, mums, if you like hugs, is great! :) Oh, I'm 48...and I certainly don't think I'm too old for this fragrance because the base notes balance out the sweetness just enough. Well done D&G!

this is really nice and the price tag is not so nice.it is on my want list as from now.this is a very classy gourmand.

This fragrance smells raspberry and vanilla. It's sweet, but not sickly sweet.

It reminds me Hanae Mori by Hanae Mori a lot. Only Dolce&Gabbana Pour Femme is much less intensive and quite powdery.

Actually, it's nice enough.

So does the old one discontinued? It was very good scent in general. Didn't try this new one,I saw it in the shop but wasn't interested But it is important to compare the two

love this...hated the original, the dry down or the original was lovely but it was more suited to my grandmother...and i gave it to her, this new one has some youth infusion

To me it smells like coca-cola candy, the gummy ones.

Elegant & utterly feminine! Hot vanilla!
Perfect perfume for the days when you feel all cuddly inside & you want your partner to discover your smell by smelling your neck & wrists.

Oh my god! How it is possible to compare this fragrance to Cherry in the Air by Escada that many times? There is nothing simmilar in these two fragrances! D&G is very elegant and sweet smell for a lady and Escada is a joyful, fresh and juicy scent for a girl... Just because they both have some "marshmellow note" it is really not enough to claim that they are the same or even simmilar!

Very faint berry, with lots of powder and marshmallow. I don't detect the citrusy notes at all. Pour Femme 2012 is a smiley sweet fragrance. The pink hue is spot-on. I loved the tester strip and am glad the real thing doesn't disappoint. Go easy with this one - more than 2 sprays and you'll risk a toothache (you and those around you).

I always read here, some people smelled some perfumes on themselves like cough syrup...well...This smelles like coucgh syrup on me...I tryed a lot of fragrances on me....this is the first one that I don't have some chemistry with..sorry :(

This is a very safe, tame, linear, but enjoyably soft and transparent gourmand. Certainly not sickly sweet.

On the initial stage I only get marshmallow, vanilla and raspberry. I think there's some kind of a pleasant musk in the fragrance, or it is just the effect of some notes well blended together. Anyway, it works as a warm clean note. And I really like the very soft sandalwood in the base.

I see it as a sister to Burberry Brit (with raspberry instead of pear) and Lancome Hypnose. All these have a very similar character.

Another not that interesting, massively overpriced, but all in all very pleasant scent.

Update: zero sillage, but good longevity.

Thought I might have made a mistake with this one as I'm not a fan of neroli but fortunately this note only dominates for a few minutes and dries down to a soft sweet powdery fragrance that is really cosy.

I bought this one for my girlfriend for Christmas. I feel as though it is a wonderful, sophisticated smell. It is sweet, but not sugary or cloying. I can see this suiting a wide age group. I love it on a girl/woman. And my girlfriend loves it too

I really like this one. It is sweet in non cloying way, warm, really girly and inviting. The lasting power and sillage are great. Only problem is that when I sprayed it my oh so critical boyfriend said I smell like colorful baby dough. I still really like it, but I'm not gonna wear it around him.

This perfume is exquisite and makes me feel alluring. It reminds me of the beauty and strength in being a woman- passionate, sensual, tender, affectionate, and loving. This perfume captures what makes being a woman so special- bringing a whole new meaning to 'Pour Femme.'

This scent is a gentle balance of elements and all of the notes can be detected during the various stages of the scent's development. Neroli, raspberry, and mandarin on the top work beautifully with the jasmine and organge blossom in the heart. In the base, the sandalwood works together with the tart fruits of the top to balance out the sweetness of the vanilla, guimauve, and heliotrope notes. All notes working together seamlessly give a stunning composition, balanced and sensual, natural and beautiful. To me, not one element is too intense, although some who are extra sensitive to sweet elements may not like the base notes. I personally love it.

Pour Femme melts into the skin and lingers faintly. I often think that perhaps nobody can even smell it and then I get another compliment. Something about it captures the senses and lingers. Because it is made of high quality ingredients (pure perfumes), it does last for hours, but in a faint not overpowering way.

The campaign and adds go extremely well with the scent captured in the bottle. Everything about it is beautiful and not trashy. This scent does evoke my Italian roots and the stunning scenery and scents of the Mediterranean. The bottle is simple and elegant and the box, made of red velvet, makes you feel like you are opening a special treasure.

I have tried other Dolce & Gabbana perfumes and although I did own and do like "The One," this is far more beautiful and less synthetic. Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme is a classy fragrance that will stand the test of time as being a fragrance that effectively captures the wonderful essence of being a woman. This one will remain in my perfume wardrobe for as long as it is available. Thank you Dolce & Gabbana for this treasure.

Warm, powdery, sweet- yes, yes, yes! You need nothing more to feel warm.

This, to me, is Pink Sugar's older, more sultry sister. It is a beautiful mix of raspberry, marshmallow and vanilla but not sickly sweet, it is warm, rich and cozy. I am wearing it now and my wrist smells like white chocolate buttons!! which is always a bonus :)

On my skin this is all about the raspberry and hints of heliotrope, and as it warms I get lots of raspberry-marshmallow. I can't distinguish the heliotrope from the aldehydes, but I expect aldehydes to bring to mind Calèche, or Rive Gauche. This smells much, much "cleaner" than I expected, and it's along the lines of Fresh Pink Jasmin (another marshmallow fragrance). This new Pour Femme is cuddly, fluffy, and wonderful; infinitely wearable! I have the roll-on, but I'm going to get the spray because roll-ons never develop properly on my skin. I look very forward to having the spray.

I'm not sure did I try this one or the old version but.....
I don't like it at all.
It smells very, very cheap to me. Gummy bear cheap.
I was so disappointed.
The one also smells this way to me.
I can't even describe it, too bad. :(

awesome sweet sensual notes. had both femme & homme flankers - and loved them!!

I got this for Christmas and love it! I feel very sexy when I wear it! It absolutely melts into my skin like velvet!

For some reason I disliked this scent till I realized it has marshmallows in it. It is a very warm rich smell, one of the only sweet smells that is still somehow classy smelling, despite something like marshmallows. There is nothing especially inventive here, but the notes do blend very well together. I like how the whole composition is built to compliment the marshmallows. Except for the raspberry, which for some reason comes across as medicinal. Perhaps something could have been done to improve that. Still this scent is akin it's name and packaging, soft, powdery, feminine, and quite scrumptious and cozy.

Amazinnnnn scent all men adore it , very feminine,sexyyyy, I enjoy wearing it

Again it's such a sweet foody scent that is similar too many. I tried a complete sample at once and had problems detecting it, so the staying power on me is almost not there.

I am house-bound at the moment having just had two knee replacements and after a few weeks was just dying to have a new fragrance! So I called my Nordstrom's saleslady and she recommended this-in fact, she said it was her favorite in the whole store! Oh-I was salivating and was so excited when it arrived! First spritz-disappointment! I could barely smell it and it seemed as weak as tea! But my husband walked in the room and remarked that whatever I was wearing was strong but beautiful! Now why couldn't I smell that in that way? I still can't smell it very well on myself, but others can and I'm getting compliments from the few people I'm seeing right now. It is a very sweet soft fragrance and I can barely get the marshmellows. I'm glad I got it because a fragrance doesn't have to scream at me anymore-I'm content if it just smells nice around others. This version of D & G pour femme is a must have if you like sweet and dreamy fragrances. It's not like it's predecessor at all, which I do love and still wear. It's a unique fragrance and I would definitely buy it again!

Started out pleasantly fruity but warm. After 45 minutes or so, though, it turned incredibly sugary, powdery, and somehow... purple-y. Sort of like a Sweet Tart but missing any of the tartness. Too artificially candy-like for me in the end.

I like Dolce's other women's offerings but this? On first whiff my thought was 'Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar?' and after drydown it's the same thought only stronger. This is on a card - I accidentally got some on my hand when I spritzed and it's really not doing anything different on my skin than on the paper. I'm disappointed. I wanted to like this, and it's certainly a much different and sweeter, fruitier option if you don't like The One but like vanilla... but I was hoping for a more mature, dry vanilla. Definitely not my kind of scent.

It. is. so. yummy !! Its all about it, pwdery, girly, sexy, yummy !!

It probably will be one of my fave, so perfect..

Firstly I would class this as a "Gourmand" fragrance it smells like a desert, not a floral. Its so sweeeeeet! i was surprised and happily so. Its Raspberry & Marshmallows all the way! It so similar to Hanae in its powdery sweetness & "Love" in its orange blossomed intensely sweet marshmallow goodness, its these two combined. So if you love them you will surely love this, but this is so much more Raspberry in it, its the star. Great for cooler weather. Its incredibly strong, no need to over spray this one.

Love this - but I will admit I'm not sure it's worth the price point. It's not a complicated scent, but it is nice. I can smell mostly marshmallow, fruit and vanilla which is bang on a win for me. The combo leads me to a more mature version of Pink Sugar, a nice womanly cotton candy smell. I I don't like sandalwood much, and this one plays it right by only being a compliment to the other notes.

The powder aspect is great too! It doesn't seem to rely much on chemistry either, smells the same on myself as it does friends and from the bottle. The scent is nice and predictable, consistent throughout and has great lasting power.

I'm very methodical in my perfume purchases... going through a full sample and reading all reviews first, etc. This is the only fragrance I have smelled and bought with so little time between. No regrets - it's beautiful!

only thing i can smell is marshmallows. the price is too big i think. don't like it at all

This is so nice. I really want it but shouldn't really spend any more money on perfumes!!

It is soft and sweet, like marshmallows I agree with that but doesn't become sickening because of the lovely clementine/orange notes that come through as well and make it refreshing.

My sister only ever wears coco mademoiselle, she loves vanilla scents, and based on this website, I advised my Dad to buy her this for Christmas. I'm thrilled I did - she cannot stop wearing it and it's quite pleasant to smell around the house. It does smell like marshmallow, but not like cheap candy. More like the actual marshmallow plant - sweet and a little herb-like and rather classy altogether. I agree, they should have called this something else besides 'pour femme' because it's nothing like the original (a testement to that fact is that I would have never considered buying my sister the original - it's too floral for her and she'd hate it). But for anyone who has a family/friend/girlfriend who loves coco mademoiselle, or anyone who just plain loves classy vanilla, look this way.

Ok...What does this have to do with original version? They should have just come up with separate name for this. Lazy!

i sprayed this on my wrist and i must say i was so surprised at how much i liked this. i didnt expect much from the bottle and also i didnt expect this from Dolce & Gabbana.

its such a sweet, fruity and feminine scent. also very youthful. to me this does smell like vanilla, marshmallows, berry notes and very little floral notes. reminds me of sweet candy. its also a bit powdery which gives it a more mature feel to it.

for such a sweet scent Dolce & Gabbana did a very good job to keep the fragrance sophisticated and not an in your face sweetness. its very subtle and soft.

EDIT; just purchased my bottle today and i love it! although i recently just changed from winter to hot and humid weather. when i used this fragrance in hot weather i got quiet nauseous and kind of gave me a headache! i think this scent only works for me in cold weather...

Classy, elegant, feminine! Shouting sexy yet brings nice warm feeling.

I wish they had put this juice in a different looking bottle, plus changed the name, since it's no longer the same perfume at all, but a completely different one. The old formula was powdery and spicy and the new one is vanilla sweet. It reminds me of Paul Smith London for Women. There's no similarities at all with the old formula. So for all you men and women who wants to get the old perfume while you still can, good luck, 'cause it seems this new formula is already out there. I doubt there are any old bottles left at this stage. I wanted the old formula. It was such a beautiful perfume. Don't know why they discontinued it. And now changed it to this very common vanilla sweet scent that you can find in so many others. It's hard to say good bye, but good bye Dolce Gabbana Pour Femme. It was nice knowing you. Farewell beautiful!

Lovely, very powdery with strong vanilla, warm scent. Lovely for Christmas time, both day and night :) Last moderately long, the bottle is simple but elegant. Overall 7 out of 10 points :)

Yummy! You have to give it at least 15 minutes to dry down. Ar first spray I was upset and thought what the Heck did I just spend 92 bucks on! But it gets more and more delicious as time goes on :)

Powdery, heavily vanilla sweet, long lasting and enduring as an impression to others! Very feminine, not casual, 2b avoided by very young girls up to 25

This smells like a classy, elegantly dressed vanilla pudding. If there is such a thing.

Had it. And returned it today wayyy to strong! exchanged it for AURA BY ELIZABETH ARDEN AND IT'S AHHH AMAZING:)

I love the original fragrance. It's too bad that it's been replaced.

This "new and improved" formula tries hard to fire the old formula and hire itself, but I'm not such an easy sell.

It's a nice fragrance. Don't get me wrong. But, if you are looking for a dupe for the original...this is not what you are looking for.

This fragrance reinvents the original by subtracting the sparkling, bracing, soapy notes of the original- and packing in their places the passing fads of the usual lineup of marshmallow, sugar, fruit and you know the rest. The Fab Four: Sugar, Fruit, Candy, Marshmallow.

A fine and dandy fragrance, just like all the other candy-flossers that hide behind a fleeting cloud of florals and/or woods.

We took our cake whipping like big kids. May we have our original back now?

... sweet sex on my skin.. ! this is my simple review! :-)

I am waiting for my bottle in the mail but I have smelled this and I have to say I love it!I would call this an ecclectic scent and what I mean by that is that its a classic scent with some whimsy or quirkiness thown in(marshmallow).I would put this in the same group as burberry brit with its mix of flowers, fruits and woods with some gourmand thrown in the mix.Burberry brit with its sugared almonds and Pour femme with her flirty marshmallow!I wear a lot of boho clothing and mix my styles and this fragrance suits me.I do not smell a lot of floral on my skin but the notes that dominate are the raspberry, vanilla,marshmallow,heliotrope and sandalwood.This is sweet but not a teeny bopper sugar bomb.It also is an enveloping scent its not strong at first but as your skin heats up it does get stronger so don't let the softness fool you.This is a classy gourmand.Other scents I love are lolita lempicka and armani code pour femme so I like sweet woodsey fragrances with touches of floral and gourmand notes for the winter time.Give it a TRY!

Wow. I must add to my review that I put the Rollerball on myself yesterday and I still have whiffs of the smell as I am writing this . This is NOT a close-to-the skin scent. I can't stress enough how I love this more and more!

This is so delicious! Very soft and powdery. The jasmine and the sandalwood keep it clean and light, while the raspberry and marshmallows give it a sweet coziness! It is powdery but it's not a dense powder. It's a bit more light, fluffy and feminine, just like pink marshmallows.

I really like powdery scents and the smell of marshmallows so it's a win/win for me. Fans of the original may be disappointed because it has very little in common with it, although it does share some similarities. The original was very heavy with aldehydes and basil and it smelt strong and clean with some powderiness. This one too smells clean and even though it's sweet and fruity, it doesn't smell sickly sweet or syrupy. It's not a cloying gourmand. It's a more mature, sophisticated gourmand and quite classy.

I really like this and will have to get a bottle soon. It reminds me a little of red velvet cake. Red, sweet and fluffy! It's a young scent but still mature and would make a perfect date night scent in my opinion. It's sophisticated and cuddly at the same time, very romantic!

I only like the dry down..the top notes is too powdery..make my nose itch..then the dry down is sweet and delicious ...OVERALL not bad..not great either..ill pass for now..not worth the price tag

This one is very sweet but not "girly" at all. It makes me think of rich ladies in their furs and jewels having tea with their friends in a fine cafe. Nice but not for me.

How bizarre. This perfume is in the same velvety red packaging of the original perfume, yet they are not related whatsoever. It almost seems criminal, like could you imagine if every perfume bottle you bought did not smell like the perfume that is supposed to be in the packaging? It's the Miss Dior Cherie fiasco all over again. This perfume could NEVER take the place of the original.

Nevertheless, I do like the scent--a sweet and soft raspberry. It's playful, feminine, and casual. It runs along the lines of quality fruity florals such as My Insolence and the original Miss Dior Cherie, the one that smelled like strawberry. I would be interested in owning a bottle.

I was not expecting to like this, but I do. I smelled the magazine strip sample and thought it smelled ok. Then I saw the commercial and Laetitia Casta was beautiful, as always. The other day I went by a counter and randomly sprayed it on my wrist. On my skin it's a lot better than I imagined, and I've received many compliments. It starts out very powdery on me (heliotrope is at the front), but morphs into a sweet but still alluring scent with orange blossom, vanilla, and marshmallow. The sandalwood and jasmine are not heavy, and I don't get any fruits from it (which I'm thankful for). I see there are many votes for M by Mariah, but I honestly think they only have marshmallow in common. I'd say this is a woodsy and slightly powdery gourmand, which is why it appeals to so many men. Update: The 'nose' for this scent is Sumit Bhasin.

I am starting to get bored with this, it is easy to wear, and have had compliments but its just casual and easy to wear, not special enough for my tastes, but good quality. I was super motivated to wear it , but as the weeks go on ,I feel it is lacking something .

This is no pefume, this is a joke by DG. what is wrong with these perfumers selling girlish candy stuff instead of real decent perfumes? a freind of mine told me that she is planning to give this to me for xmas. I told her please no and bring me candies, not worth the money at all.

Well, there's a lot of marshmallow going on. I didn't like it very much, but I suppose for the right person it would be a nice and soft perfume.

This is not a reformulation, but a new interpretation on the original Dolce & Gabbana. It's a new fragrance, containing many of the original "Red Cap" notes, and it's disappointing. It smells like all of the other candy/cupcake/fruity garbage out there right now. Perfect for the average Macy's shopper, buying the latest popular scent, blending into the masses.

New Dolce & Gabbana fragrance is very warm, feminine. I can feel vanilla and sweet notes. I would say, it is perfect harmony between depth of woman's soul and her top layer, body that needs caressing:)
I think this fragrance would be great to use in wintertime, so just bought it today. And you know what - can't stop myself from spraying it every few hours. Got addicted to it, I think!

a amazing reinterpretazcion of a clasicc fragrance...the perfect refurmulation of bacarat cristal transforming in a precious jewel of so many faces and shades...
this new dolce and gabbana give to me so many dreams....so many answers...so many delated feelings....one special thing the mashmelo note...so sweet and so fancy that makes me kind of go naked and feel like a wearing a high brand collection compositions of jeans....shirts...and shoes......a love letter.....

Nothing to do with the original...a totally different perfume !!!!
:(((
I really don't get it . why they change so dramaticaly the formulas and they call it the same!!??? It's like a bad joke:(

Reformulations make me sad, especially when brands feel the need to update classic, popular fragrances. In light of this fragrance being released, I stocked up on the original version, and turned up my nose at the thought of the sensual, elegant and powdery Dolce & Gabbana for Women being replaced by something sweet and gourmand.

I still prefer the original formulation, however this newer release is thankfully not sickeningly sweet. It's actually not half bad, with great longevity and a sweet, feminine vibe.

The marshmallow accord works surprisingly well in keeping the scent fluffy and sugary, while the raspberry note is not far off the scent of raspberry jam. As a word of warning, if sweet fragrances are not your cup of tea, I'd avoid testing Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme.

In the last few years I've noticed that fragrances are becoming sweeter and sweeter in an effort to appeal to younger consumers. I'm a young woman myself, and while I do enjoy the odd gourmand and keep a few sweet scents in my wardrobe, I often crave fragrances with a bit more depth. This new Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme will please most people, however its generic approach does slightly bother me.

It's really nothing like the original, so Dolce & Gabbana wasn't entirely correct when they said it had more to do with "fine-tuning". If you were or still are a fan of the original, all I can say is, stock up while you still can. This newer release is in a different fragrance genre to the original.

As I mentioned before, the lasting strength is good, as is the sillage. Although I do like the updated packaging, my twenty-two year old self will be sticking with the old-school Dolce & Gabbana for Women I'm afraid.

I have always loved the original D&G. I smelled this new version. I won't be purchasing it. It doen't smell anything like the original, it was my special perfume.

If you like to the smell of powdered flower petals on you, this would be perfect.

Tried it today at the mall. It's a very sweet fragrance along the same lines as Insolence by Guerlain bbut not identical. DG has more prominent citrus notes but the drydown of DG is different. I think this fragrance has amazing staying power, this is like a bomb I sprayed a card on Saturday, today is Tuesday and it still going. Wow, I'm impressed. Will definitely like to try this again. This is an evening perfume for going out not for everyday use IMO.

Holy moly MARSHMALLOW. With a just a hint of rosy raspberry. Cozy mushy swathes of marshmallow clouds with a pink hue .

Would be great for winter when snuggling up in a throw with some white hot chocolate. Smells kind of young and laid back to me, definitely not overly classy at all to my nose...

I did a complete 180 with this one! THIS PERFUME IS FANTASTIC! I rushed out and bought the 100ml gift set that came with the rollerball and 30ml body cream. I am currently wearing this on me, and this is simply so DELICIOUS and classy. I have this on for two hours and I have to say that all the negative things that I said in my previous review and in THE ONE page are taken back. This reformulation of POUR FEMME is GORGEOUS. I coudn't stand the original perfume when I smelled it (it was far too heavy and masculine, I was suprised that it was even a women's fragrance) BUT I agree that since this is an entirely new composition, DOLCE & GABBANA should have simply launched it as a new perfume.

Anyway, I feel like a million dollars when wearing this. It works so well. I actually like this one far better than THE ONE but maybe because I am in "the mood" lol. As mentionned in my previous review, for some reason this scent reminds me a bit of CHANEL'S COCO, COCO MADEMOISELLE and a tinge of ALLURE as well. I think it's the chic and sophisticated qualities of it. I so wanted COCO and COCO MADEMOISELLE to work for me so since this perfume kind of reminds me of those two so I'm very happy that I can pull it off with this one. I swear, the more I smell it on me, the more I love it. I can't believe I didn't like this originally! For those of who hated this at first, test it again a couple of times because you might fall for this one HARD like I did. ;)

First smelt it last week and I thought it was average - just another light, classic scent. But after giving it another go this week, I have fallen in love. The rasberry and marshmellow notes just get stronger once on skin but not overpowering. Such a classy scent too! This is defs going to be my next purchase.

So... The new one... I sampled it today! The marsmallow note is sooo obvious but that doesn't make the perfume smell sickly sweet, it has the herbal backround of its predecessor but somehow a lot reduced. The vanilla is very intense too. The drydown is actually sweeter than the opening. Logevity 4 or 5 hours on my skin. Overall, nice scent, reminds me of something very familiar, sweet, wintery, snuggly, yummy but quite common. Comforting maybe too. :-)

When I saw this at Sephora, I thought this was a whole different perfume and since I used to wear and love the original, I figured I try this. I thought it was pleasant-slightly powdery sweet with some florals and spice. Nice but kind of simular to some of the other scents I smelled recently. Little did I know that its the same perfume and they reformulated it!

oh my goodness, what have they done?! This smells like a pale shadow of the original-the original was very strong, in your face spicy yet clean and powdery scent and rather unique with amazing lasting power. So they have taken that, diluted it within an inch of its life, took away the spicyness, made it much sweeter and made it suitable for teenage market. Talk about ruining the scent! Ugh..Why do perfumers do that?!
If you haven't smelled the original, this is a plesant scent that I can see lot of women liking but if you have, I think you will be shocked at the difference.

O.k., I rarely write a negative review actually this is my first. What happened to the classy D&G. This smells like I mixed cotton candy marshmellow and baby powder. My husband said last night 6 hours after I tried this , He cant get that horrible smell off his mind. Well the longevity was poor, thank god.

After seeing the advert for this numerous times (which to be honest isn't the best...I much prefer the Scarlett Johanson wonder that is The One) I read the reviews on here and was very curious to try this...marshmallow and rasberry? Yes please! However, as this is very pricey and my perfume collection is at a staggering 55 bottles I promised myself I would only buy this if I REALLY liked it. So, I sprayed...10 mins later rushed off to buy a bottle. The marshmallow and rasberry are the dominant notes throughout, it was very sweet and a little powdery. Although there is vanilla in this, it never turns into the overly sweet vanilla scent that say, Katy Perry Meow is. The marshmallow dominates the entire scent. Perfect for nights out at the clubs in the cold. Lasting power is good for me as my skin seems to drink up most fragrances and leaves no trace after 3 hours...this is close to the skin but lasts a good 5-6 hours (which is good for my skin!)

i find it similar to l'instant, with marshmalow instead of honey. pleasant, but i prefer l'instant.

Fantastic scent, I find it quite addictive.
This isn't your run of the mill sweet scent, it has a certain elegance to it and I detect the original somewhere in Pour Femme
A modern sweet enchanting perfume , with a classic edge
What more could I ask for? The sweetness isn't candy like, it is light and palatable
Not formal like the original one, more fun also , I found the original too serious and it did nothing for me.
Longevity is poor unfortunately, but I have a big bottle so I spray often.
Delightful scent. I really don't see any issues with adding a certain sweetness to perfumes.
Update: I found it a bit boring, so I am not using it for now

OK I may be dating myself but remember when you were a kid and you would get those packages of kids collector cards at the corner store (baseball or teen entertainers etc etc) and in the back of the pkg was that stick of powdered bubble gum this is EXACTLY what I felt it smellled like.

This did not work for me, somehow it smelled nutty on my skin. Smells great on others though, just not for me.

I have finally found my signature, I almost overlooked it and thankfully I didn't ! It's very present but not overpowering , lasts forever on my skin, it's perfect for me. Thank you Dolce and Gabbana!

I wish it would be less sugary.It would be nicer if it was more mature and more serious and classy like the previous D&G femme.It faded quickly from my skin

Tried today ,the marshmallow is very strong which is nice but a little heavy blended with strong white florals.Winter time i might give this a go but for summer too rich .

so amazing one of my all time favs, it smells exactly like Red Vines (the candy) it makes me want to eat a bucket of them. Love love love this, if anyone is swapping a bottle please let me know :-)

My mom got me this perfume, she has a totally different taste in perfumes compared to me. If I walked into the store and smelled this I wouldn't have got it for myself.
I like it, but I don't love it.
When i first sprayed it I smelled MARSHMALLOWS, raspberry, vanilla and oranges.
After it settled I smelled a bit jasmine, sandalwood for sure and neroli (i think it's what's giving that citrus.y feel to the perfume besides the oranges).

How I feel about that? It's a bit sweet for my taste I dunno but the sweetness isn't THAT bad cause i like the powdery feel it gives.
It's a fall/winter perfume and i personally think it's a daytime scent than a night one.
It's an elegant perfume in it's own way and cute.
I don't know what else to say, It's an "OK" perfume but it def didn't move me in any way.
I'll keep on wearing it this fall at college but that's about it. OH and the sillage is SO BAD. Staying power? I'd say a couple of hours maximum. I guess it doesn't work so well on my skin but i did it fair enough and "liked" it.

I really changed my opinion about this! It has amazing staying power, it is sweet but very different. I am glad I gave this another chance I was wearing narciso Rodriguez for her edp until my mom tried it and it smells betterand lasts longer on her. So I gave it to her. I tried this again and it really lasted a long time. So she bought it for me. Great for winter!

A marshmallow and bubblegum smell in an expensive bottle.Sorry,but I prefer Pink Sugar than this failure.

This smells almost exactly like Reminiscence Mi Fa!! Except this one smells like fruity raspberry and marshmallow, and Mi Fa smells like jasmine and marshmallow. Anyway, I'm not a fan of either one-- I find them both too cloying.

This is a surprise. I sprayed, I thought, nope, too overbearing. I walked around and shopped for a while and the next thing I knew I kept catching this beautiful scent and it was on my arm. Truly what comes through is the raspberry, marshmallow and the vanilla. I would say that it is done in a grown up way. It is not a monster glob of sweet synthetic dirt and sugar that seems to be a horrible theme. It is a wearable, everyday perfume that makes you happy and positive. It lingers all day and is the epitome of all things feminine. I have typically scoffed at quite a few D&G perfumes because I don't like most of them. This one is unique and will be with me a long while, specifically in the colder months.

It´s winter time. It´s getting dark, soon will be night. Girl sits on armchair near the window and looks outside how it snows. She is covered with a pink fleece blanket and drinks hot orange/raspberry tea. She waits till her love comes and warms her up. Because she´s freezing... Ohh yee :D this is what I imagine when I smell my arm now. This is so warm, powdery, yummy, soft, smooth, cosy scent that the words can´t describe my feelings. It opens up very fresh and citrusy on me. I let it settle down and the yummy smooth buttery marshmallow starts to show. I can smell pretty lot orange and raspberry. It´s so lovely sweet not importunate nor heavy. Smoothy vanilla flies around. It´s also little bit spicy/woody because on my skin the sandalwood is quite intensive. When somebody will smell like this I would want to give him/her big hug and kiss. It´s so girly, attractively yummy sexy. Oh man I want it.. :-) I must control myself till Christmas to get it... :D
EDIT: I love it more and more and need to say that it reminds me of cake covered by marzipan in some moments. Yumm

It has marshmallow and I like it... I still can't believe it :D all the kidding aside I didn't try it on my skin but on blotter,it is sweet in a not-gagging-sweet kind of way... really nice

I've tried it on twice and i actually like it very much. It's sweet, floral, berry, feminine, cute, sexy at the same time. Usually i'm not that fond of that kind of sweetness you can find in this perfume, but this time i think it's a perfect mix and i really enjoy it.
I want to wear it on a vacation in Italy in the spring or early summer, i imagine bare skin and holding hands.
I like it.

I wore the original D&G years ago and loved it! So excited for this new "version" to come out. I tried it today and loved it! At first, the same scent of the original version is present along with a sweet marshmallow and orange twist. It is sugar and spice,and delishious! When the perfume dries down it is much softer.Still D&G original with sugary spice.I only wish it lasted a bit longer on the skin! It lasts a few hours, then softens... love it!

Not bad but too sweet for my taste, reminds me of Pink Sugar from Aquolina.

This new formula can not even stand in the shadow of the original one! The original was not so 'girly' and sugary. I tried it on my wrist yesterday and after a short while it smelled so sweet if started to feal really nauseous. This is more of a teenager perfume, although I don't think they will be able to afford it.

Pasta and berry "Marshmallow", those who add to the flavor, flavorings, is their very nasty and do not want to, but for me it is better to smell a little candy, a sweet air and naturally.

Very nice opening. So poor staying power. Nothing interesting.

This is quite sweet. It really is a fruity floral towards the oriental vanilla. The main notes are to me Mandarine Orange, sweet vanilla and, so it seems - I could not point it out amongst the general sweetness -, marsmallow. I find it very but very similar to Kenzo's Ça Sent Beau. It is probably a bit sweeter and less green. Also Ça Sent Beau seems to be more complex as both for the scent and for the texture. I do not feel here what in Ça Sent Beau seem to be drops of juice coming out of it. Staying power and silage cannot be compared to the amazing staying power and great silage of Ça Sent Beau. I like Ça Sent Beau much better, but that does not stop me from thinking that D & G pour femme is quite nice, smooth and sweet.

Im in love with this fragrance I got a sample bottle off ebay, after reading the fragrance notes and reviews on here. Its a very soft feminine fragrance, sweet, soft and creamy and close to the skin. Its not sweet in a way like lots of celeb frags, this smells expensive. Im going to ask for this for christmas, thats if i can wait that long.

Nice sweet reminds me of pink givenchy play

had to return mine....sad....really no lasting power for 90 bucks....rather no....sad. oh well ...its just way too flat ....

My nose just must be missing something. I hardly ever say this... but this scent is horrible!

Just got it from Macy's , can't stop sniff my wrist! Stunning! Very femininity!

I was able to get a tester of this off eBay and I cannot wait for it to arrive!!! I spray this repeatedly at the store that I work at. Better than the original!

love this , had to grab a bottle...floral and sweet ...men love it!

This is a good and interesting scent. Yes, it has that sweetness at the beginning and it is modernized, but I find it quite similar to the original after about one hour. Give it some time, please, you'll see.

Not a s good as the original but not bad. I think whoever picks their fragrances must have an enormous sweet tooth. Cuz this is sweet and delicious and nice but a little too familiar along the lines of the one, fancy, c. Vrgoutmand. U detect no flowers in particular just a pleasant sweet scent. I am currently full of gourmands right now......I think this is ok but I wouldn't really buy it. It didn't last on me either....I'm talking 15 minutes. Some people get incredible lasting power from this but not me so if I were u I'd test it first. If a scent is truly amazing ill still buy it even with bad lasting power. I.don't have a problem spraying like an addict if the scent reaches that level. This scent didn't quite reach that level. I think this would be a good casual scent with a leather jacket and boots going to a late night movie. It's good but not amazing. The original was amazing.

First of all, I'm a hopelessly devotee to two D&G perfumes: Sicily and Light Blue are fragrances I can't simply imagine myself without. I also like the old pour femme very much, it was my mother's signature in the 90's, while I don't like recent creations such as L'imperatrice and The one, but one thing is to be said: D&G means seduction. The new one is no exception, but explores gourmand facets of seduction more than ever, so, tautologically, you have to love sweet temptations to be seduced!

This is not my case, I prefer eating a real sweet when I crave sugar, but I was deceived by the "floral" definition here on Fragrantica, and by my fondness for the old D&G. And when I went to a shop I sprayed it directly on skin. What a mistake! I was choked by a marshmallow-y , intense, dense but soft bed of sugar colored of pink berries. A pink nightmare! That accompanied me in the train and made me quite sick.

Three hours later I arrived home, and my mother said "What smells so wonderful?!" sniffing the air, so I disagree with who says that it has zero lasting power and no projection. Thus my mother promoted the new red cap with high score, in spite of her earlier love for the old one. I have to say two things: mommy loves everything that smells feminine, sweet, intense, so it is not much a surprise! But I can see no many connections with her old aldheydic-spicy-woody signature and the new sweet bomb, if not a certain "silky" feeling and the "head turner" intention.

I still prefer the first, but I admit it is not a bad fragrance, not my taste, but it is unique like many D&G creations, while recalling somethin known. If you, like my mother, have had no trauma passing from floral/aldheydic/chypre of the last century to saccharine/sweet/vanilla of the new era, you most probably would like this new exemplar as well.

A note on marketing strategies: obviously D&G pour femme is intended to follow the fortune of Pink Sugar, specifically for the American audience, but the (lovely) TV commercial doesn't suit the fragrance! No way this fragrance makes me think of a feast in southern Italy (I'm from there!), Pink Sugar does it more, and I doubt the pretty Laetitia Casta or any other girl with some sense would wear this during summertime in Provence or in Sicily! It is a winter delight and only for cold weather, for sure!

If you need a warm extra-sweet embrace this winter and to cuddle you and your beloved one, go for it!

By the way, I'm so sad the old, really mediterranean "red cap" has been discontinued, at least Sicily is again available! The market has its rules that heart doesn't know!

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

hmmmm Ok ....! Based on the reviews I expected something MORE ! But what I got It's just another disappointment from D&G house.... I can't say that this is a bad perfume, It's just a nice perfume in a mediocre way.

Sweet, comfortable,creamy,light ...very very light . It seems juts a normal body spray that wears off in 30 min.

0 lasting power
0 sillage

I could not spend money on this.

pass...

I was truly expecting to like this fragrance, but it didn't turn out that way. Unfortunately this is a real stinker to me, on my skin anyway. It's not often I dislike a fragrance enough to classify it that way. D & G Pour Femme seems like it's trying to be candy-sweet and laundry-fresh at the same time, and it doesn't work. This is a scrubbed-clean, sweet-powdery floral fragrance. I wouldn't say that it's an especially fruity smell, but the raspberry and mandarin seem to add a screechy chemical-fruit scent to the whole ordeal.

Something about it vaguely reminds me of Armani Code (which is a fragrance I actually like a lot)...they do have orange, jasmine, orange blossom, vanilla and sandalwood in common. But Pour Femme is like Code with the richness and depth removed, and with an overbearing sweet/sour-plastic tone added in. Overall, I find that this fragrance has an artificial, cloying vibe. Sorry, but it's a definite thumbs down for me.

@AYSU....I AGREE, thats why i got samples...cause it wears very very light on my skin...but its still a delight...wish it was a tad bit stronger lasting! LOL

Nice composition, balanced sweetness with nicely blended floral notes, looking quite elegant despite its notes.. I was excited too see how it progresses after dry down, but it was already gone, zero staying power with zero sillage, shame:(

Got a sample of this with a package and must say it was a positive surprise. When you see that it contains marshmallows maybe you think this is a super-sweet perfume but it is not. This is a beautiful floral (almost floriental) scent, slightly honeyish. A very warm and cozy scent in my opinion. Very feminine. Thinking seriously about buying a full bottle.
Very well done D & G!

Why does this have to smell soooo damn good. I don't WANT to pay nearly 70 euros for that tiny 25 ml bottle, but I can't stop loving it - it's so delicious! Heavenly marshmallow scent with vanilla and raspberry. At first sniff I thought it's just simple candy sweet and girly fragrance, but the longer (and more often) I wear it, the more it shows it's greatness. Very well made, not nauseating at all despite the sweetness, long lasting and great sillage!

It's exactly like its bottle: Sweet but at the same time very elegant and stylish.

got me lots of samples from nordy's of this...so i will still get to wear the scent without buying it at the moment...good sweet scent...add it to your halloween costume..you will be a candy sweet trail! yup! yum!

Niiiice,i tried it,reminds me powder,smoke,soap,if that makes sense,there is vanilla also,I love that D&G parfums are all different!!!
Great lasting power-i hate the original though, i used to wear it 15 years ago,but also i was a heavy smoker some years ago,time change us......

yum! tested this out....very nice smelling, not unique but a winner...the only thing it only last 2hours on me...wish it was just a tad stronger...nice fruity sweet candied scent..but nice.

I MUST BUY! THIS STUFF SMELLS SO DAMN GOOD! IT SMELLS LIKE SEXED UP MARSHMALLOW AND FRUITS

Lovely : sweet, sugary, powdery and feminine. Marshmallow is very present.
I would like to purchase it but I still hesitate : the lasting power is poor and it's very expensive.
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...

Warm, soft, velvety, smooth, powdery, creamy, feminine, sexy, sensuous fragrance!
The most prominent notes I smell are marshmallow and vanilla with a tiny hint of raspberry at the top notes.
The marshmallow-raspberry combo adds a hint of sweetness without being cavity inducing sugary sweet!
It is most definitely not a sickly sweet candy teen scent, but more of a sexy, sensual ‘grown up’ scent.
The sillage is fantastic without being overpowering as the scent itself is soft and not heavy. And the scent also lasts hours on my skin. I can still smell this softly on my wrist the next day.
The scent has a cosy warm quality about it and therefore makes this more wearable in the Fall/Winter months.
This is perfect for date nights, special occasions or even suitable for working in the office.
The bottle is simple but classy!
Overall, love it! Well done D&G!

Oh Lordy. I just rubbed this on my wrist from a freaking mag scent card and I can't stop sniffing it! I am ordering it online right now. I can not wait to get this. May have to overnight it.. so I can inject it straight into my veins. Asap.

I bought this today at Macy's and am in love with the fragrance from beginning to end. Delicately and sweetly floral, but sophisticated, from the heliotrope , very warmly vanilla. There is marshmallow, orange blossom, jasmine, I can't detect tangerine. I would recommend this to women who love D&G The One, because although it doesn't remind me of it, it is floral and vanilla and sophisticated.

This is a sweet,powdery,soft fragrance. I mainly smell the Gardenia,jasmine,powder notes. Omg it's so sexy it smell similar. To Victoria's Secret Halo which is didcontinued. It was one of my favorites. This is a soft floral and I cant feel sexy enough.I have got to get this..it's one of those unique scents and thats a keeper.

I was looking forward to this more than any other new release. I'm soooo disappointed :( it almost chalky..it chokes me! Its like all the powder from the bottom of the marshmallow bag blew in my face. I don't get anything warm or inviting. I maybe get some slight florals, but that is all. I'm sure I will test it again..but this is my first impression.

This is really nothing special, sweet and a little floral, does nothing on my skin and didn't last :(

just tried a magazine sample and cann't wait to test this in person. what I got from the magazine smells extactly like those Red Vine licorice stix, i keep smelling my arm and its making want to go buy a bucket of them and eat them all. I really love this.

Tried this one yesterday at Macy's. At first I LOVED it!! As I was driving home over an hour, it just wasn't mixing well with my chemistry! I couldn't wait to scrub it off! At first I thought it smelled like the late Revlon "Intimate Musk" when I smelled it on a card. I was so excited then it dried down not so lovely on my skin! Such a dissapointment! :( I'll have to stick with works best on my skin and that is my one and only "Angel" from Thierry Mugler! :) Hope this works for you ladies, the reviews are outstanding on this one! Just wish it was outstanding on my skin! :(

only one word... GREAT.... it is very sweet perfume,so warm. i like it very much!

GREAT call dannysmom! I totally get Hanae Mori Butterfly from this one too. It is really light on me which is a complete bummer. For 98 bucks, it should last right?! It could be just me but it stays very close to the skin. It's like a somewhat stronger version of their D&G Anthology La Temperance 14. With the marshmallow note, it's like Vera Wang Princess' older sister. Haha!

I got to smell this today and I really like it! True, this one is nothing like the original, so if you were a fan of it, this one may disappoint you. The opening is bright with it's raspberry and tangy tangerine but the dry down is to die for- woodsy marshmallow. Yum! I can't wait to buy this one for sure. A cozy fall/winter scent that would be great for cuddling with your sweetie. Oh yeah, the lasting power is awesome too! :)

To me, this smells very similar to Hanae Mori Butterfly. I think I actually like this more, because I can really detect the marshmallow. It's beautiful, and very long-lasting. I mainly smell marshmallow; with a smooth, creamy raspberry on top. It's also a little peppery, like Hanae Mori.

When I put my sample on this morning, I wasn't expecting to like it so much. My husband arrived home later in the day, and I rushed out to purchase it. The SA said it reminded her of Gucci Rush. I've never smelled that one so I can't say if it does or doesn't, but I thought I'd throw it out there. Beautiful scent!

It hasn't got anything to do with the original one. Very light but lasting frag. Velvety sweet, not overpowering, like a nice silk scarf on skin. Reminds me of Lancome Hypnose-not so strong, but the same synthetic, "bubblegumish" (and still likeable)sweetness.Nice for young girls but wearable for everybody. No wow factor unfortunatelly. I could accept it as a gift, but I wouldn't buy it, even it is appealing.

I found it too synthetic ....

To me this is a disappointment.I LOVED the original formulation and this has nothing to do with it-maybe just maybe slightly.sweetish very well done BUT why use the same name similar packaging and bottle, when its something different?just my thoughts....the original perfume's identity and character gone.

This one is such a nice surprise, it is sweet creamy velvety and very sexy, it has been constructed perfectly and it is very feminine.
I own Love by Kilian and this is very similar only a bit lighter, the marshmallow stands out a lot.
Here in Italy it is still quite hot so I would wear this in autumn/winter due to the fact that it is so sweet,I can just imagine wearing it and leaving a persistant and sexy trail. Delicious!

I cant make my mind up on this one. It is well constructed and seems to build up as it drys down but i wish it had a bit more va va voom. In comparison to the original, there is none, they are polar opposites. My husband likes this, he says its nice. I prefer to smell a bit more wow, than nice.....Update...i was on the brink of buying this but it was sold out in 100ml bottles. Once home, having drowned myself with a tester bottle, i smelt something familiar on the dry down, it reminds me of Ghost Deep Night, which i'm not too keen on. Alien Essence Absolu it is then.

This starts out sweet. Right from the beginning the marshmallow is there mixed in with the raspberry. It's powdery, smooth, velvety and soft. There isn't much development with this fragrance but it does become creamier. It kept reminding me of something and I finally got it. Yougurt! If they made raspberry marshmallow flavoured yogurt it would smell like this.

This is sweet but definitely not sickly sweet. It's soft and creamy. Light but with fantastic lasting power. It would be perfect for Spring.

Smells velvety, opulent sweet but sensual. I'm really sensing the marshmallow, it makes me want to create a dark hot chocolate and dip marshmallows in !!

You can pre-order this on Nordstrom's website. I think the actual ship date would be close to the end of September. The original didn't appeal to me; it wasn't bad or anything like that, but it just seemed dated. I wouldn't care to try this one. I've had fairly good luck with D&G's frags and if this one is on the sweet side, it's right up my alley.

wooooow !!!! this smells soooo good! so perfect!
the kind of fragrance I have been looking for ! Absolutely amazing.

Smells of marshmallows, vanilla , jasmin and many many other notes I cant describe. I fell in love with this one completely. I am so glad the lady at Debenhams pointed me towards this one as it new(renovated) fragrance from D&G . And its edp as well so smells for hours and hours.

The sweetness in this one is nothing I smelled before even
though the notes are very similar to many other sweet perfumes this one smells completely different ....Amazingly warm and sexy and quite strong as well but doesn't overpower me I can actually imagine myself wearing in on the beach under the hot Italian sun ....It is a divine sweetness and sexiness closed in a bottle <3

In my opinion it is a completed masterpiece from D&G.

You can find it at Marionnaud Parfumerie in Italy

Huge disapointment for me as the original was my signature scent for years.

Doesn't have any similarities with the original except the bottle. Way too sweet. As I see the original was iconic 90's sent I can't imagine this to have very long success.

I don't get it, I'm Italian but I haven't seen this in perfume stores yet... Has it been put on market abroad first??? When is it supposed to arrive in Italy?

How to ruin a gem by Dolce e Gabbana !!!!
:-O :-O :-O :-O
:-( :-( :-( :-(

This is gorgeous, i am in love with it, lasted so long on me even though it stays really close to the skin its so edible and sweet without being sugary, in love!

It's obviously not a flanker, it's a reformulation. What a nightmare...
Like my dear friend blueberry says: another one bites the dust.
D&G, what the heck happened to you?

I am so curious about this fragrance , when is it arriving in July? Anyone tested it yet?

Looking at the notes it doesn't look like a sophisticated fragrance. Marshmallow doesn't really scream class to me and somehow I am intrigued. :)

How can people still vote on notes when the scent is even not released yet???? very curious

This scent sound promising though, love the femme in the red bottle
Why cant this be a flanker? they must keep the original in my opinion to.

I'm waiting for so long. Can't wait to test this scent.
Raspberry+ Tangerine + Orange blossom VS. Vanilla + Marshmallow = Put it in my wish list. I'm so excited.

I have to admit the original smelled very strong and very 90's smelling. A little dated, so I am curious about this one. Can't wait to test it.

Removing its aldehyde nature, would it be an effort to revive the original one up? On the other hand, the original D&G is a problematic scent for girls mostly while is mostly lovable among women at the same time, so it may be a opportunity for young to try it as well if it's lighter and cuter as I guess from the notes; though without testing I stand on the original one fanatically not only because I'm an old school lover, but also it gives me nostalgic sense on my "Italian Cinema Days" when I used to watch at least 2 films.
Anyway, considering those lovesome tangerine, neroli and orange blossom it seems so fantastic and subtle with; I hope so!
