Dolce&Gabbana Pour Femme

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 have tested it in a perfume store, This fragrance is very balanced perfume, Captivates you from the first spray, starts with white flowers plus raspberry and Mandarin Orange fragrance mixed very well in pure way, at the dry down the fragrance will be more deepy of vanilla balanced sweety powdery base of Marshmallow, Vanilla, Sandalwood and Heliotrope, In addition, the other top and middle notes still exist in the dry down in perfect mixed way, this perfume reminds me of "Ansaam Gold Lattafa" it's very similar almost 85%, with exist of a little differences between them. If you didn't smell this perfume before, I advise that you can blind buy if you interest powdery sweety vanilla with a little touch of freshness and fruits perfumes. Balanced Very elegant, classy suitable to very feminine women, this kind of cozy pure sweet vanilla exist in perfumes like; "Attraction Avon", "Nebras Lattafa", "Evoke Silver Edition Ajmal", "Yara Lattafa" but it's not a dupe for any of them. This fragrance suitable to wear it during the day or at night in all seasons, It lasts 8 hours on the leather and more than one day on the clothes. لقد جربته في متجر للعطور، هذا العطر متوازن للغاية، يأسرك من أول رشة، يبدأ برائحة الزهور البيضاء والتوت واليوسفي الممزوجة جيدًا بطريقة نقية، وفي القاعدة يصبح العطر أكثر عمقًا من رائحة قاعدة فانيلا بودرية حلوة متوازنة من المارشميلو والفانيليا وخشب الصندل والهليوتروب، بالإضافة إلى ذلك، تستمر مكونات النوتات العليا والوسطى الأخرى موجودة في القاعدة بطريقة ممزوجة بشكل احترافي، يذكرني هذا العطر بعطر "أنسام جولد من لطافة" إنه مشابه جدًا له بنسبة 85٪ تقريبًا، مع وجود اختلافات طفيفة بينهما. إذا لم تشمِ رائحة هذا العطر من قبل، أنصحك بإمكانك شراؤه شراءً أعمى، إذا كنتِ تستمتعين بعطور الفانيليا الحلوة البودرية مع لمسة من الانتعاش والفواكه. متوازن أنيق للغاية وراقي مناسب للنساء شديدات الأنوثة، يوجد هذا النوع من الفانيليا الحلوة النقية المريحة في عطور مثل؛ " آتراكشن من أفون"، "نبراس من لطافة"، "إيفوك سيلفر إديشن من أجمل"، و"يارا من لطافة"، ولكنه ليس بديلاً لأيٍّ منها. هذا العطر مناسب للاستخدام خلال النهار أو في الليل وفي جميع الفصول، يدوم 8 ساعات على الجلد وأكثر من يوم على الملابس.

This is my all time favorite perfume. I bought it because I could not afford Love Don't Be Shy by Kilian and heard this was a good dupe. Right now I own both and I still prefer this one. This is what I think heaven would smell like. The raspberry and flowery opening is very fresh and sweet. I get in a good mood the moment I spray this. I adore the drydown which is both sweet and marshmallowy yet the sweetness is also neutralized by the smell of the sandalwood. It becomes a creamy, cozy skin scent which reminds me of the aftermath of a campfire. Don't be mistaken when I mention sweetness, as in none of the phases does this smell sugary/sickly sweet. If I were to compare this to Love Don't Be Shy, that one smells very similar to Nerds candy in the opening and develops into a great sweet scent in the drydown. I also like that one but this is not sweet in that same way at all. This could be an unpopular opinion but I think this one has way more variety compared to Kilian, which just smells sweet to me. When one says this is an inoffensive scent, it is not in the sense that it is boring or one dimensional at all. It is a perfume that (I think) is not possible to dislike. I wear this in all seasons and I think it can fit every type of occasion. It is a really good signature scent. Though I think it goes well with spring & summer seasons and the daytime the most. My only criticism about this perfume is its performance. It lasts a few hours and does not project very much unlike Love Don't Be Shy. 1-2 sprays would not have a strong effect, I usually do 3-4 sprays. It would be a perfect perfume if it had better performance. I think this is a great scent to pair with a strong vanilla. I also really like the intense version of this, though they both smell very similar to me. Only difference is the intense version is a bit more "animalic".

This was a successful blind buy! Been wanting to try this one forever. I got it at a great price, so the risk was worth it to me. At first spray, it’s citrus, white floral, and powdery musk. It reminded me of another perfume right way, but I could not place it, like I knew I have smelled this before.... Then it dawned on me what it was a mix of: JPG Classique & Chanel Allure EDP. It must be the notes of mandarin and orange blossom of Classique and the mandarin, orange blossom, jasmine combo of Allure that give me this vibe. And when it’s at this stage, DG Pour Femme does remind me of these two—a 90’s floral perfume. As it progresses a soft raspberry marshmallow comes through. The raspberry here is not tart or sour in any way, not even jammy or juicy. It’s more like a dehydrated, or freeze dried raspberry that is present. When it gets to this stage I love it the most because the vanilla is also present, supporting the fluffy, gentle gourmand, marshmallow cloud. This is a grown up, somewhat fluffy, and delicately sweet perfume. Not juvenile in the slightest. This is more mature and womanly. And although there are sweet and almost gourmand touches, don’t get it twisted, this indeed is a floral perfume. It also has wonderful development and is in no way linear to my nose. And my goodness is it gorgeous! It has a way of growing on you, seducing you without even realizing you’ve been hooked! I’m not sure if this is truly discontinued or not, but if there is a chance that it could be soon, I would suggest testing before it becomes harder to find and is gone forever. An addictive, gorgeous, classy, hyper feminine, yet cozy scent most would appreciate. It’s a love!!! 💕

I tend to reach for Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme on those quiet, rainy or slightly gloomy days—it just has this comforting, cocooning quality that instantly shifts the mood. There’s something about the blend of orange blossom, marshmallow, vanilla, and sandalwood that feels warm without being heavy, like wrapping yourself in something soft and familiar. It opens with a gentle sweetness, but never feels overly sugary. The sweetness is beautifully balanced by the sandalwood and a soft musk in the base, which keeps it grounded and wearable. As it settles, it melts into the skin and becomes more intimate, leaving behind this delicate, powdery trail that feels incredibly feminine. The powderiness here is what makes it special—it’s not makeup-like or baby powder at all. It reminds me more of the airy coating on a marshmallow, light, fluffy, and almost cloud-like. There’s a softness to it that feels comforting rather than cosmetic. In terms of performance, it stays fairly intimate with a soft projection, which makes it ideal for everyday wear or more relaxed settings. It lasts a few hours on me before becoming a subtle skin scent, but it lingers just enough to catch now and then. As a side note, this does garner a few compliments especially from Ladies. If I had to place it in a moment—it’s a slow morning with grey skies outside, maybe a cup of coffee in hand, wrapped in a light knit by the window. It’s not loud or attention-seeking, just quietly pretty and comforting. It’s one of those scents that doesn’t try too hard—but still feels effortlessly feminine.

I love this perfume. The scent is so gorgeous. It is fluffy, sweet and powdery because of the marshmallow, grounded and creamy because of the sandalwood and vanilla, bright from the raspberry and citrus notes, and finally elegant because of the floral notes. It's quite unique, and I just love to sniff my wrists when I wear it. It's sweet, but not a gourmand, and is instead a delightfully light and refreshing perfume. To me this is the perfect floral because it is so balanced and does not feel nauseating or overwhelming like all those generic and heavy floral perfumes at the mall. This is a scent that is simultaneously cute and yet also super classy and complex. Super lovely and works for any occasion, whether it be work and school or going out. And when it wears off, it turns into such a subtle and sweet skin scent that I love. The only problem comes with its longevity. Personally, it lasts quite a long time on me during the summer, during the warmer weather. The heat helps the scent cling on to my skin and clothes. However, during the winter it disappears quite quickly since it's a lighter fragrance. I recommend doing as I do, which would be to save this beautiful fragrance for the spring and summer! However, if you're really tempted to smell like this gorgeousness even during the winter, which I am guilty of, moisturizer and a few extra sprays will help. Regardless, this is the perfect sweet floral scent that really makes me happy.

As a lover of a lot of very strong fragrances, I wasn't initially a fan of D&G Pour Femme, a super-light gourmand; I was underwhelmed -- but now I'm a convert to the stuff. I'd only tried a tiny dabber sample, so I figured that if I overspray, it might be strong enough for me. Plus, I love orange blossom and neroli, as well as marshmallows, so I decided to give it another try and bought an inexpensive partial bottle. At first, I do get a lot of orange blossom and neroli, plus the fruitiness of the tangerine and raspberry up top. I also get a note that smells like the gum that used to come in American baseball cards back in the 1970's, kind of sweet, powdery, fruity, and a little minty. Pour Femme dries down to a very light marshmallow/heliotrope/vanilla, stays there for a while till it's a whisper after 3 hours or so. Although it doesn't really smell the same at all due to wildly different notes with the exception of the marshmallow, it has a similar feel as my favorite Vera Wang scent, Glam Princess: at first a fruitiness -- but it's a tropical guava in GP -- and then a lovely, soft marshmallow drydown. Just like Pour Femme, Glam Princess is also one that I have to both overspray and re-apply every 3 or so hours. In spite of this weakness, D&G Pour Femme is still such a pretty, comforting, delicate perfume that I'm really happy to have in my collection for days and times when I want a gentle scent.

My love for Pour Femme runs deep. Sweet, soft, feminine, bubbly, dainty marshmallow heaven. This fragrance is the very essence of kindness, elegance, and charm yet it still retains an air of playfulness and innocence. I could wax poetically about its magic endlessly, but I always find myself at a loss for words when describing this because it feels so deeply intertwined with my personality lol. This fragrance was a gift from my mother on my 18th birthday and my first “real” perfume. It perfectly envelopes you in a dreamy, delicate aura and makes you feel like a porcelain doll... ethereal, beautiful, untouchable. I adore it so much that I’ve collected several backups since sadly D&G has discontinued this irreplaceable treasure. Pour Femme is fluffy and subtle, not a “beast mode” perfume, which is okay for me because that’s not what I look for when seeking out fragrances. It does NOT smell anything like Love Don’t Be Shy or Oriana. I have tested them both extensively. They share a few of the same notes, that’s it. It’s also worth mentioning that the intense version has a very different smell due to the removal of raspberry and heliotrope. They are more like cousins than sisters and I don’t really enjoy that version. The original is much better. One day they will bring this back, I just know it. Pour Femme, you will ALWAYS be famous! 😭 Edit: She is back!!!<3

if there would be only ONE perfume in the entire world for women, I'd definitely want it to be this. this was my signature scent between the end of 2021 and 2022 and it's an incredibly elegant and timeless fragrance. even though there are thousands of ratings here for this, in my personal life I have never come across someone who wears this. everyone and their mother knows Light Blue (which I never got, and would never have in my own collection. too masculine for me) but this one is a well kept gem, even though it's been around for 13 years. it's such a marshmallowy scent, it's definitely high maintenance woman scent. never tacky, never boring. it's everything an elegant, comforting, feminine woman would evoke in people. it's that woman that brings beauty into every community she becomes a part of. it's the scent of a mother whose children always find peace in the presence of, and want to hug her for hours. it's the scent a man would love to smell as he lays down on the bosom of her lover, falling peacefully asleep. incredible, just pure elegance. I never loved any other fragrance like I did this one. I wouldn't even be mad if every single women on earth would wear this only. the world, as one planet, would become a lovelier and more comforting place.

Omg they DC this?! No wonder the intense flanker costs double the OG for half the size! I found that truly curious and bought the intense DG for the color, but it didn't arrive so I got the biggest original DG at that amazing price I saw before, just in case the intense DG finally arrived. It didn't. It's not that they smell different to me, it's that the intense smells much stronger, which is exactly it should be! Shoulda got that intense smelling favorite perfume of mine.,. Woulda loved the color for Halloween rt now... Coulda used the backup, knowing what I do now. Welp .. at least I've a reason not to wait to reorder that intense I've been so in love with that I actually remember the content of the crime doc I was watching when I tried the new sample a saleslady had handed me at the mall the day before. In fact, for years I was trying to figure out what this perfume was. Funny thing is was I was already using this site but it just didn't click until one day I smelled this clear self titled in the store and finally I put 2 and 2 together. I think of this as the body spray and intense as the parfum. You've gotta spray more, but you'll also spend less money in one place ..... Godsdamn l love this smell! So rich and sexy

I needed to do some retail therapy today so I stopped into Ulta expecting to maybe walk out with a travel spray of any perfume I've been interested in, but I stopped at this perfume because I remember looking it up on here and thinking it sounded like something that would be right up my alley. I sprayed it on my wrist and immediately went to a store associate to ask for a full bottle for me to purchase. My all time favorite perfume has been Tender Romance by Ralph Lauren, and now that it's discontinued I've been hanging on to my last few ml's by a sentimental thread. This fragrance immediately reminded me of it and made me so happy and feel so comforted. It is a beautiful, fun and feminine scent. Extremely romantic but not so much that it couldn't be an every day scent. It's a perfect blend of fruity and sweet and it's done in quite a mature way, this is not a juvenile scent at all in my opinion. I'm also a huge, huge fan of LDBS but have been back and forth with myself about whether I wanted to pull the trigger on a full bottle but honestly this scent has blown it out of the water for me. This scent is really a no brainer if you're a lover of sweet and fruity fragrances and I'm so glad it's found its way to me!!

SEXY marshmallow & orange blossom! While most people are probably sick to death of this dynamic duo- I’m late to the game & am not! I went from being a strictly floral/fresh/aquatic fragrance lover to now being hyper fixated on flormonds and soft feminine scents including the very popular airy marshmallow note. I wanted something in the Kilian LDBS universe. So I impulsively blind bought D&G Pour Femme EDP 😝 She fits the bill! D&G Pour Femme is LDBS’ sexier slightly older sister who graduated from an Ivy League & moved to Italy for the summer. She’s got a lot more of a velvetier and slightly creamier quality - yet has a robust & vivacious personality on the opening with the bergamot & mandarin (she’s multilingual). She simmers down into a beautiful airy marshmallow & ripe raspberry where you can definitely see the resemblance to her younger sister from back home, LDBS. Only 2-3 sprays MAX for this one. She’s nearly beast mode on me & could be cloying if any more than that is applied. A nice needle in the haystack find among so many marshmallow orange blossom DNAs! Suitable for all occasions & throughout the seasons. The sultry yet darling dry down is my absolute fav 😍

My first couple sprays were not the best, the jasmine was extreme almost sickening, I decided to try it again and finally I got the yummy marshmallow note and raspberry. Its finally sweet It finally smells the way its been described. The dry down is even more beautiful on the skin. This is an elegant sweet not teenager sweet. This isn't cloying at all its very well blended and smooth. If you have a bottle and didn't quite like it shake it up and try spraying it a few times and try again. I almost missed out on a stunning perfume but Im glad I gave it another try. I would wear this to bruncheons, dinner with the girls things like that, its not seductive or sexy just elegant and soft. Ive also noticed a lot of reviews saying this is powdery it actually isn't it may appear that way because of the powdered sugar aroma which is innately the marshmallow but this is actually considered a fluffy fragrance.Just wanted to put that out there I usually steer away from powder for the most part so If you dislike powder dont worry give this a shot you won't be disappointed.

Wonderfully soft and fantastically feminine! This one's a comforting scent, but it's also something I know can be worn that has a sensual quality to it... My partner loves this on me! Mainly, it's fluffy marshmallow and powder. Think the powder coating on a bunch of marshmallows and you're close. This is then grounded by the vanilla and sandalwood in the base, which I think is a very nice mixture of the two notes here. The raspberry and mandarin is there in the opening, Although I can only detect raspberry after the opening for a short while from the first spray. I find the mandarin goes away very fast. My bottle was second hand, so maybe the top note here has vanished with age? This is more a gourmand and powdery scent, don't make the mistake of thinking it's a fruity or floral one! I think that this one is a girly teen scent that's matured... reconnecting you to something back in your youth. I like this perfume very much.

Ok WOW!!!! I blind bought this perfume reading about how similar it was to Manifesto YSL in the comments here. How amazingly surprised I got when I spread it on my arm is an underrated statement!!! If I had to use words to describe this scent I would say: dreamy, delicate, soft, charming, sweet, feminine and enveloping. The top notes (when you first spray) are similar to Manifesto. I understand why people were doing the comparison, it’s similar, yes, but it settles differently. I find this one less powdery, less sandalwood, more marshmallow, candy, and vanilla but in the best enveloping ways possible. It gives “delicate-romantic-soft girl” vibes more than Manifesto giving “rich-confident woman” vibes from my perspective. It will definitely become an all-year long signature one for me, 100%. If you are not a fan of raspberry notes, just letting you know the raspberry is very subtle and only present in the top notes.

Ok. So, the newest and latest version goes even further away from the original "red cap" scent by smelling strangely AQUATIC to my nose. Really! I'm just glad it (still) doesn't smell anything like the INTENSE (to me) because I've never found myself able to get on board with that version, it was always much too sweet. I will say watch this space and I'll update in a few hours, but it's nice to apply this and it not smell slightly "turned", as my old bottle of the Femme is a little "off" in the opening, though still boasts a fab sandalwood base. Admittedly nothing quite compares to "red cap" and I don't feel they try to recreate it but rather to harken back to it wistfully, but I am still a fan of femme. The added aquatic nuance seems very Nineties. This stuff is Hella strong by the way! The marshmallow is less and the citrus elements and orange blossom are soapier.

Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme (2012 reformulation) opens with a sweet, aldehydic burst of neroli, raspberry, and green mandarin, like powdered sugar-dusted berries mingling with citrus spark for a playful, fruity floral lift. It blooms into a floral heart of jasmine and orange blossom, adding summery elegance that tempers the gourmand edge without heaviness or synthetic sharpness. The drydown reveals creamy indulgence: marshmallow, vanilla, heliotrope, and sandalwood create a warm, powdery haze — evoking cotton candy sophistication with maternal sensuality, distinct from the original's spicier oriental vibe. Youthful yet versatile, it suits a modern Mediterranean woman craving pretty, inoffensive charm. Lasts 6-8 hours with moderate sillage — ideal for spring/summer days or casual evenings seeking compliments on subtle sweetness.

This perfume is a beautiful marriage between YSL Manifesto and a less potent Givenchy Hot Couture. If you own both fragrances there is no denying the similarities although it does stand on its own; you couldn’t spray both Hot Couture and Manifesto to create Pour Femme. It is very feminine and young. I would *not* place this in a mature category just because of the sandalwood and jasmine. It is innocent...doesn’t take itself seriously. It is sweet like Hot Couture’s raspberry and mandarin, and powdery like Manifesto from the sandalwood and jasmine. Very good intro frag for a young woman. I love and own both of those fragrances so this scent is a winner in my books. Very inoffensive, can be worn day or night in any setting.

This has been my ride or die for the last 10 years and this fragrance has been present at many of the important moments of my life. The first time I smelt it I was hooked, I left the Sephora unable to afford it at the time and went back after a week of smelling the lingering scent on the scarf I had been wearing when I tested it. I immediately get the sweetness from the marshmallow and vanilla and zing from the raspberry and mandarin, it settles with the orange blossom and heliotrope smoothing it all out, but you can smell a hint of something rich which I believe comes from the jasmine and sandalwood. I honestly don't know how someone couldn't love this, sweet, floral, with a powdery finish. Fresh and feminine.

The marshmallow is a little bit powdery, the vanilla smells like Tahitian vanilla. The uplifting orange blossom and green neroli keeps it fresh and balanced with the sweetness and the raspberry makes it fruity. So intoxicating and so lovely! It’s a grown up floral gourmand, total compliment getter and it works in all seasons and all settings. I think my next buy will be this beauty. I miss her in my collection. I have the intense but I’m saving it because I can’t find a 100 ml bottle anywhere to buy. It’s different, equally as beautiful it has a sandalwood note that is gorgeous with the marshmallow, one reviewer said “if velvet had a scent” describes it perfectly. Both are great signature scents ❤️
