Dolce&Gabbana Pour Homme, Italian Version Vs French!!

[@Tschouki]

Great video. Very informative. I walked into an old pharmacy 3 weeks ago, and there it was in all its glory - a tester bottle of the original Italian version staring at me from the shelf. About 70% full. I begged the lady behind the counter to sell me the tester, and got it for about 28$. I'm a happy camper.

[@TheScenturion]

Oh WOW that is such great news , thanks for watching my friend 🙏

You lucky F@cker!😅😁🫡

@@randall-Jackson72 Indeed 😀

[@Shaverboy516]

You scored big time, I picked up the original the same way and begged the guy to sell it to me. I got very lucky, that bottle is all used up now but managed to score a 4.2 tester bottle on EBay for $40, this was about 7 years ago.

[@AliK-hz7bz]

I really miss that made in Italy perfume it was so good full of memories

[@jameslollis2727]

That original bottle brings back soooo many memories for me. I'm looking for a vintage bottle myself. That's how I found this video....lol

[@TheScenturion]

Thanks for watching James and I wish you luck on your search for an original bottle ,it is one of the most iconic fragrances from that era imo ! Happy New Year my friend 🙏

[@brolythadawg2505]

I have a little bottle with like 3 sprays left of the original Italian. It's 15 years old and I really feel the pain, you're so lucky you found that bottle.

[@TheScenturion]

Thankyou for watching my friend and I agree I am I treasure it 🤜🤛

[@Carlitosway2369]

So I’ve been watching this video over and over again for the past week or two bc I want another bottle for my collection. I had the Italy version around 2000. Then I think I had the made in Germany. I don’t think I had the UK one. Today I just got the France version and overall it smells like D&G Pour Homme but yes it’s more citrus. I have to say about the OG Italy bottles sticker, I always hated it! It always peeled off and got all messed up from going on vacations or putting it in bags. So I don’t miss that sticker lol. But I do miss the the juice that was inside it!

[@TheScenturion]

Thanks for watching my friend and yes them stickers were a pain ,it is a stunning fragrance glad you're enjoying the French version 🙂

[@User_scorpio5273]

There is no need to compare, the old Italy version is the best, of course. I have the new and the old, and my nose always loves the old

Totally agree with you mate the old one was gorgeous,if the new one is similar I’ll give it a try as soon as I seen your older bottle plenty of memories for me one of the first frags the wife bought me 👍🏻

[@dantalksscentsuk]

These videos are so helpful. Thankyou for an informative video. Always been interested in getting this fragrance as I remember when I was a teen trying it on in boots and it was nice

[@TheScenturion]

Thanks for watching Dan 👍imo the new one will never be the OG but there's definitely enough there to remind you of the good ole days👌

[@sf2explus184]

new one is still a nice scent but if it came out back when the original was released the current version would be the EDC/Sport version. the original was very dense in the tobacco and had a much stronger orange peel note in it and some green almost herbal notes that have gone missing in the current stuff. since i can only buy the modern version i still have it as a part of my collection as it still takes me back to my late teens and still smells nice. D&G should just release a niche version and put in the old stuff i'll still pay £100 for 75ml easy

[@TheScenturion]

Wouldn't it be great if brands done that .. maybe a special anniversary edition ..it would sell like hot cakes 👌

[@mfgreviews5028]

The vintage blows away nearly every scent today. Even Dior Elixir would be second!

[@fiveduece52]

Dior elixir didn't be mentioned in the same sentence as a lot of fragrances ok it's strong it also stinks so you stink longer

[@razscott]

Thanks for all the info and everything, i have the original italy 125ml bottle which i got in debenhams about 20 years ago, there’s not much left in the bottle so looking at getting the new version 😎👍

[@TheScenturion]

Yes it's not a million miles away from the original and as I said it's a worthy compromise when you consider the price difference ,thanks for watching my friend 🙏

[@dard4642]

My story with the original is like yours. The first time I smelled it, it was my favorite fragrance instantly. The days I would wear it, I intentionally would smell my arm all day long. The new stuff smells like a very powdery watered down version of the original. That powdery finish was too much for me and I had to actually go wash it off.

[@TheScenturion]

Yes my friend I agree somethings are never the same , Thankyou for watching 🙏

[@peterpistone1041]

I was able to purchase a Made in Italy bottle but what is weird is that on the box its says "Made in Italy" on the bottom of the box and on the sticker on the bottom of the bottle too but it came in the newer bottle without the sticker logo. Also, on the back of the box it says "Lemon, Clary Sage, Coumarin". I cannot find anything on the web regarding made in Italy on the newer bottles? Any Idea on what I have here?

[@HOTSPEEDMike]

You've got the newest 2023 reformulation. Recently they've stopped making made in france bottles and went back to producing in italy again. Is it any good to you?

[@dr.claire.perfume]

This is really helpful, you could save someone a lot of money and time. 👍

[@davidmorgan3115]

Hi, not sure if you can help me with this inquiry, but it seems that you are knowledgeable about Dolce Gabbana fragrances. I bought a villa some years ago, and when I was cleaning I found a very large bottle of yellow colored liquid labeled Dolce Gabbana. Now the villa was built around 1991, and the bottle was hidden in the dark at the back of a basement understairs cup board, as if it had been forgotten about by a previous owner of my home. It was unboxed, but it looks in great condition and appears not to have been opened. There is no sediment in the bottom of the bottle and I have kept it in the dark since I found it about 3 years ago. I have photos of it which I can send you if you are interested. Any thoughts you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks

[@TheScenturion]

Look up the batch code either on the bottom of the box or the bottle that will give you a date of manufacture ,I take it you've opened the box now ?, What size bottle is it?

[@davidmorgan3115]

@@TheScenturion thanks for getting back to me. It's in a very large bottle, weighing 6.8kg. There's no batch no on the bottle, and I don't have the original box. It has label stuck on it which says Dolce & Gabbano Pour Homme

[@TheScenturion]

Jeeze six & half kilo it sounds like a counter advertising prop

[@TheScenturion]

As far as I'm aware the biggest bottles of scent were 200ml ,a 125ml bottle weighs approximately a third of a kilo including packaging so I'd definitely say it's an advertising piece ,hope that helps my friend 🙏

[@davidmorgan3115]

@@TheScenturion I hadn't thought about that possibility, but it makes sense given the size. I could break the seal and see if there is any fragrance. One other thing - the previous owner of my villa left a very large 50% used bottle of another well known perfume, which definitely was fragrant and had been used in the past. When I researched this previously I did find an advert on eBay or some similar auction site for a very large bottle of Dolce & Gabbana Pour Home, probably of similar size to mine, that was being sold for around £1000, but I can't find any of these large bottles being auctioned off now on the internet.

[@sf2explus184]

the iris is defo missing in the new version. i remember the older stuff having a slight lipstick makeup vibe like dior homme or something. new one does not have that.

[@scentedsnowdrops]

A great comparison, it's a shame when they change the best so much that we can't recognise them anymore. It's a good thing the newer version smells slightly more like it. Well done gettin the original

[@TheScenturion]

Thanks Jon I'm just so pleased I have the OG it's gorgeous and really happy that the French version is nearer to the original ,maybe some will see what all the fuss is about🤣

[@scentedsnowdrops]

@@TheScenturion it actually does seem to be a good theme that brands are listening and their newer versions are tryin to be more like the originals but yea they'll never replace them will they

[@sf2explus184]

you can defo recognise it but it's no longer as dense. lasting power is half of the original.

[@WoodshavenPatriot]

Oh man. I wondered why when i get this now it is so different. It had more tobacco and vanilla notes.

[@TheScenturion]

@@WoodshavenPatriot definitely 👍

[@Shaverboy516]

The original was more like an EDP, I’ve been using it since 1994 too. Your right the opening on the original is lavender and tobacco but my original bottle is old and can’t remember if there was a top note if mandarin. I think the German version was the worst, the opening was way to sharp, in fact D&G apologized to customers for it and fixed it with U.K. version. I happen to like the U.K. Better than the made in France bottle. I’m nursing my 4.2 made in Italy bottle. Unfortunately there will be a time when the Italy version will be all gone, and that’s a sad thought.

@@vasquezinvoker3714 you won't see any difference from initial spray but if you want it to last even longer you could try a little dab of vaseline to moisturise your neck and wrists where you spray sometimes it holds the fragrance on your skin longer (on a little dab )

[@hckroess]

Attenzione, attenzione! The NEWEST ONE IS ITALIAN AGAIN! Beware, now it get´s even more complicated! Aparrently the newest version (2023) is italian again, but has lost the tabaco and suffers from poor longevity. I myself have an english version from 2016 which i love a lot. I don´t understand all the hate it gets, for me it´s wonderful. I´ve just ordered a french version which came out after the english, but i have to test it yet. People on the net say, the french version is better than the english. The newest italian 2023 doesn´t get much love. I had an original in the 90s, which was really great, but for me the english is a great alternative as well.

[@TheScenturion]

Thank-you for the update my friend, For me the best will always be the original Italian version but the French one is very good 👍

[@robertarmstrong6015]

Lol...I have all versions and the UK version is the most complimented...by far. Go figure. Why should a fragrance that stays in a bottle for decades smell like one that has been bottled a couple years. Obviously there will be changes that are not due to reformulation but simply due to aging (ongoing maceration/maturation). The likelihood is that the older a fragrance juice stays in the bottle the richer the perception of the scent will be as the top notes dissipate over time and the fragrance oil matures. It's not really rocket science.
