Which Should You Buy?
This is a divisive, powerhouse aldehyde that unapologetically screams early 90s Italian glamour. Most love it or hate it, thanks to its bold, soapy opening, but for its fans, it's an addictive, confident classic.
No.429 recreates Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme's aldehydic, multi-floral bouquet - citrus and aldehydes up top, a dense rose-jasmine-carnation heart, sandalwood and vanilla underneath. It's smoother and less sharp than the original's classic aldehyde backbone but the rich floral character is a close match.
