Dolce & Gabbana Dolce&Gabbana is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1992, created by Martine Pallix and Jean-Pierre Mary. Dolce&Gabbana opens with Citrus, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Marigold, Orange Blossom, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Dolce & Gabbana's Dolce&Gabbana carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

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.

About

Dolce&Gabbana opens with a striking aldehydic burst, laced with fresh basil and zesty citrus that immediately grabs your attention. As it settles, a rich floral heart emerges, dominated by aromatic carnation and elegant rose, uplifted by jasmine and orange blossom. The drydown is a warm, musky embrace of creamy sandalwood, tonka bean, and a whisper of vanilla, leaving a lasting trail of sophisticated cleanliness.
