Dolce & Gabbana D&G Anthology La Force 11 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009. D&G Anthology La Force 11 opens with Chili, Cardamom, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Cypress, Heliotrope, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Caraway, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Dolce & Gabbana's D&G Anthology La Force 11 carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive and often dismissed as underperforming, D&G La Force 11 is a quiet gourmand that's either a forgettable miss or an understated, elegant spice. If you like your vanilla without shouting, this one might surprise you.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for office and casual wear where a discreet scent is preferred. While warm and inviting, its lack of projection means it might get lost in a formal setting, and it's certainly not built for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a gentle warmth of spiced chilli, cardamom, and cinnamon, La Force 11 eases you into its subtle embrace. The heart unfolds with the green touch of cypress, a powdery hint of heliotrope, and a dash of nutmeg, preventing any sweetness from becoming cloying. It eventually settles into a soft, inviting base of caraway, creamy sandalwood, and a delicate vanilla, making for a sophisticated, understated skin scent.
