Fragrance information:

The world first encountered Masculine by Dolce & Gabbana in 1999. By character, a masculine fragrance drawing from the fern and wood families. Conceived and brought to life by perfumer Max Gavarry. In eau de toilette — and that's all it takes to fall in love.

Expect a moderate sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. Expect high longevity: it stays close to the skin for hours. Behind this fragrance stands Italy and its rich perfumery heritage. Masculine Dolce & Gabbana — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The olfactory structure of Masculine unfolds as a layered story, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Dolce & Gabbana is clear in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette supports the right density and pace of development.

The accord architecture is built around these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Musc without random overlap. Background accords such as Wood and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In wear duration High points to a sustained drydown presence.

In the first seconds you catch sparkling citrus top notes: Bergamot, Fig Leaf and Petitgrain.

In the central layer you meet Basil, Caraway, Clary Sage, Jasmine, Mint and Orange blossom keeping a noble herbal direction.

From the group perspective the profile is anchored in Citrus, Green, Aromatic and Spicy. The palette also extends to Whiteflower, Wood and Musk.

In summary Masculine reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best judged 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
High (5 to 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.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
