Dolce and Gabbana Pour Homme Fragrance Review

[@oceansoflorewi]

Iv'e tried hundreds of frags- this is hands down the best elegant summer scent. A masterpiece for summer nights, dinners, banquets, work parties. It screams rich elegant man with a bright happy demeanor. Perfection.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Excellent description! It’s perfect for a summer signature scent

[@saddamkobalt5963]

Very good review and I agree, however if only the longevity and sillage would be better in the current formulation.

[@angelvillarreal3648]

I have vintage bottle of this that was gifted to my father in the 90's. I inherited his fragrance collection at around 8 years old and I never looked twice at this fragrance. Almost 30 years later, I'm dusting off that end of my collection, and I find this gem. Its the 125ml bottle, made in Italy, and it still has swag lol. Ill be wearing it this summer to really find out what it's about. Awesome review.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

That’s a cool story ! Thank you for watching and commenting Angel !

[@snortchgortch4253]

Lucky! I had this when it came out. The current formulation is good, it’s still similar but just not the same. This was a masterpiece. My girlfriend bought it for me, we both loved it!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Yeah it really is a classic scent I love to wear it in the summer time especially

I bought a new formulation bottle from Walgreens last year. I love that it actually last FOREVER on me. (I'm a clothes sprayer) but I'm not a huge fan of the scent itself. It's good but it reminds me of baby wipes. Lol

[@ryany3549]

Great review and love this fragrance as on me it’s so classy,alluring and very professional smelling ! (I have the mace in France version) which is very close to the OG but the OG had a more rich tobacco in the dry down and less citrusy! Have a blessed day

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

That’s great to hear that the newest form is taking in the original scent profile as best as it can

[@lazyman4214]

Very nostalgic scent, reminds me of good old times of my mid 90's childhood

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Thank you for watching and commenting dude

[@NotstarvinMarvin]

I also have a "dad story" related to this one. Its the only scent next to YSL la nuit de L'homme that ever made me go and grab it instantly. I smelled it on my father like 13 years ago and never thought it came across as too mature but definitely a classy one. I think im gonne buy a 40ml of the light blue one to check it though. Great vid, like the American Psycho theme :), subbed!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting dude ! Yeah you can’t go wrong with DG Pour Homme, it’s such a clean scent perfect for the summer !

[@StevenCryar]

It definitely works for the office but this is one of my favorites for sitting around the house with friends or at a friend's house having dinner and a couple of drinks. This is one I should definitely wear more often than I do

[@truth884]

Good review. I can see why you’d say that men 25 and older would appreciate D&G Pour Homme. As for me I was like 14 or 15 was released. It was my instantly my favorite scent even at that age. However I just happened to find more stuff interesting and worth learning about than my peers at that time.

[@ichbinderfreitag4461]

Solid review of an interesting fragrance, good job! I'd be curious to try this, even though I'm not much a fan of the house, especially when it comes to menswear, or compared to a lot of other Italian designers (Armani, Gianfranco Ferre, Versace, etc.). Curious do you have, or tried Basile Uomo? Basile Forte also excellent. Have been on an 80s italian fragrance deep dive lately, there's an astonishingly good amount of high quality fragrance (Smalto, Borsalino, Romeo Gigli, etc.) from that era and that region.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I have been wanting to try Basile actually funny you mention it !

[@RamseytheRam]

All time classic HOF summer scent. I have the made in italy version but probably wont track down another bottle once its gone. Although with the way my collection has swelled since lockdown i may never finish a bottle again lol -Ramsey

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Haha I know what you mean on never finishing a bottle 🤣🤣

[@Gregory_Rasmussen]

Great review Kelan. I can get this here where I am for a very affordable price. It is the new formulation though. Do you think the new formulation is worth it?

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I think the new formula is just fine and I hear it’s getting better with the latest release so definitely check it out

[@winnienguyen4420]

I know its not your style but my God Dolce and Gabbana Pour Homme Light Blue Intense is definitely beast mode. It's probably the strongest designer aquatic I can think of. Also Versace the Dreamer smells very similar to vintage Pour Homme. Just has a stronger tobacco note.

What smells better and more barbershop? Dolce and Gabanne Pour Homme, or British Sterling?

Uhhh that’s tough because they both do, D&G is definitely the higher end gentleman’s barbershop, British striling is your every day barbershop along the lines of pinaud clubman which also smells great. If I had to pick one to have and one to loose I’d always go with dolce and Gabbana

Have you put your nose on Intenso? Compared to the original is it any good? Also, would you recommend Inte so over the new PH formulation or should I hunt down a vintage?

[@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

Awesome blend, easily a personal favorite. Grabbed up a sticker bottle a while back and love it. Hear the new version is passable, so that’s good. 👍

Yes as I understand it’s still pretty good so no complaints lol

[@fidelayala1673]

Great choice for a review. I haven't worn this in 20 years or so. But you mentioned the magic words: Summer Fragrance. And why not wear it in Summer? With the citrus and neroli, It's as appropriate as anything else, in my opinion. And it's hard for me to get excited about most summer fragrances. But I do recall liking D&G Pou Homme quite a bit. If it turns into a skin scent after an hour or two, fine, I'll spray some on my shirt to make it last a bit longer. Good review as usual, my healthy looking friend. I need to get outside when this heat subsides. Summer is not my favorite season

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Yes sometimes summer scents can be boring haha

[@horserides]

[@PierreAllaire]

Exactly my thought

[@justaddlight]

The one...the only....peeling sticker champion. I've tried all the versions - Italy, Germany, France and UK - and the last 3 are pretty much the same. I.e. terrible. 😄 Unless you like the smell of grainy laundry detergent. Night and day between the versions to my nose and I have a suspicion that they're going to eventually change it again to something heavier on the aroma molecules ala Dior Homme 2020 and H24. Don't quote me on that but it seems like every brand is following the iso-e/cashmeran/ambrox/amberwood trend for their flagship l'homme/pour homme scents. I suppose we're left with relying on the clone brands to bring back the originals. C'est la vie.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Peeling sticker champion 🤣🤣

[@djtruedomination]

This is my favorite cologne

[@Donmenon]

This was an excellent wear in the hot weather when I had it. The scent cloud and longevity was just perfect. However I just couldn’t care for the scent. It was very warm and solar. Almost beachy or suntan lotion like. Not my cup of tea personally. By the way, I’ve recently picked up Carlo Corinto Classic, Anucci, Sergio Taccini and a few others mentioned in your videos. They are great stuff mate. Do check out Herrera For Men and Bob Mackie from 1991 and 1992 if you can. Both were really impressive blind buys for me. Keep up the good content Kelan, have a good one 🥂

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I love the scent but it does sort of have the suntan lotion or gel vibe I just like that scent, Anucci and taccini are awesome! Glad you enjoy! I always see Bob mackie for like 5$ at the store I never thought it would be any good, how is it ?

[@Donmenon]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Mackie opens up fresh, ozonic and sweet but is a fougere at its core. It's similar to Minotaure by Paloma Picasso only that it's more complex with those green elements. The green notes become slightly more prominent as it dries down with spices and a soapyness that's reminiscent of Alfred Sung in terms of feel. It's very much a fragrance of 1992 with so many of these nuances. I can't guarantee that you'll like it tbh but at $5 it's certainly worth checking out for its sheer complexity and unique scent profile. A great spring cheapie imo. The presentation is pretty cool as well.

[@frankp1648]

I have the Made in Italy version too. It's certainly pleasant but it has a casual vibe IMO. I personally wouldn't wear it in the office.
