Perfume information

Description of the composition

The olfactory structure of By For Men evolves as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Dolce & Gabbana is evident in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette keeps the depth and body this composition needs.

From the group perspective the structure relies on Spicy, Green, Leather and Wood. The framework further includes Gourmet. Within olfactory families the fragrance belongs to East and Wood.

From the first breath you detect spicy sparkling opening notes: Black Pepper and Nutmeg.

In the heart you sense Lavender holding a cool herbal direction.

The accord profile is shaped by these accords: Aromatic, Wood, Leather and Spicy with each one in a clear role. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In wear duration Very high points to a sustained drydown presence. In diffusion Noticeable shows the style of diffusion around the wearer.

Overall By For Men holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best experienced on skin.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Very high (more than 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

When I first stumbled upon this bottle, I thought it was definitely a women's fragrance. But, to my surprise, this perfume turned out to be masculine, like a zebra in the world of scents 🦓

What an amazing fragrance! It's so warm and unobtrusive, it's hard to believe how long-lasting it is. It doesn't really have a unique personality, of course, but that doesn't make it any less pleasant. Paradoxically, I don't want to wear it, but I also don't want to part with it 😲

Excellent fragrance for men! By Dolce Gabbana truly delights with its simplicity and pleasantness. Perhaps it's precisely this simplicity that attracts. My girlfriend likes it too, and its longevity is top-notch. But next time, I'll probably choose something more complex and multifaceted 💫
