Written By Lamaya Mahboob

Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme is an incredible addition to women’s perfumes. If you are thinking of giving a fragrance to a woman, it will be your perfect choice because it is very easy to like.

If you have already used Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme and looking for an alternative, I am not surprised because I have done the same.

Unfortunately, it was not easy for me to find perfumes that are similar to it. I searched and tried on many perfumes for months to find the ultimate 5 similar perfumes to Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme.

And, lucky for you, I will describe all their scents, when to wear them and most importantly, why they are similar to our target perfume.

Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme

Which Perfumes Smell Like Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme?

Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme was released in 2012 by the house of Dolce & Gabbana. Mary and Martine Pallix were the creators of the perfume.

The top notes of Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme are Raspberry, Neroli and Mandarin Orange.

Neroli, which is calming, is present in the top notes, along with undertones of raspberry and a fun lift from a hint of sharp green mandarin.

The middle notes create a core of luscious sensuality, with a delicately undulating scent of powerful florals like silky jasmine that dissolves into the sweet citrus tone of orange blossom.

Base notes are enticing and addictive because they combine the rich sensuality of vanilla base notes with the attributes of a sweet aroma. Heliotrope and the smooth, rich, creamy sandalwood in the fragrance further highlight this alluring aspect.

This fragrance will awaken your senses and make you feel delicate and feminine.

It is neither mild nor very powerful. It is the ideal mixture and brings out the best in women. The longevity can easily reach four to five hours, if not longer.

Even after it has vanished, the alluring scent is still lingering. You can wear it for formal dinners, nighttime outings, and special occasions.

So, here are the top fragrances that ar similar to Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme:

Italiano Donna Armaf

Italiano Donna Armaf

Top notes are Mandarin Orange and Orange Blossom;

Middle notes are Lily, Carnation and Jasmine;

Base notes are Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Sandalwood and Musk.

I was startled to discover how inexpensive Italiano Donna was compared to its pricing when I sprayed it from my friend’s bottle. It has an upscale, premium scent.

Beginning with a joyful combination of sweet mandarin orange and smooth vanilla. Although there are a lot of musk and woody components in the composition, the drydown predominantly smells like delicious, fluffy bubblegum.

Orange is the dominant color in the opening, and floral notes are present but are more subdued.

Tonka bean, vanilla, and sandalwood are especially noticeable in the fragrance’s base.

When the musk is on your skin afterward, you can smell it.

Italiano Donna and Dolce&Gabbana Pour Femme Intense have comparable scents. If you notice, they have the same pattern. First, they start with some citruses, then the florals kick in and end with thick vanilla.

The only difference is Pour Femme is sweeter than Italiano Donna.

However, if you compare the pricepoint, Italiano Donna is much more affordable than Dolce Gabbana Pour Femme.

It has a 2-hour strong projection that lasts for 7 to 8 hours on my skin. To quickly capture everyone’s attention.

When to wear:

I can imagine a woman in a very classy dress wearing this gem to a party in winter or fall. 

Why should you wear it?

  • Cheap but smells fancy.
  • Very feminine.
  • Party scent.

Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo – Mandorlo di Sicilia

Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo - Mandorlo di Sicilia

Top notes are Green Almond, Star Anise, Orange and Bergamot;

Middle notes are White Peach, Ylang-Ylang and Jasmine;

Base notes are Bourbon Vanilla, Tolu Balsam, White Musk and Cedar.

Do you enjoy delicate scents that remind you of cotton flakes? Because Mandorlo di Sicilia gives you that impression.

You will feel like you are wearing cotton candy instead of eating one because it melts quickly in your skin when you put it on.

Lovely citrus and vanilla compositions are found in the opening. This vanilla is similar to what you would find in cocoa creams. It is not overwhelming and is creamy.

It stands out significantly from the other fragrances in the Blue Mediterraneo collection. Blue or green accords are absent. The perfume’s genius lies in the fact that this one is all about vanilla.

Because Ani by Nishane combines fruity/citrus notes with vanilla, it vibes similar to Mandorlo di Sicilia.

You will be surprised by its longevity as it lasts for 6 to 7 hours.

In Mandorlo di Sicilia the vanilla comes in at the beginning, while in Pour Femme, it comes in the dry down. Therefore, you get the vanilla for a longer period here.

When to wear:

It is perfect for summer and spring as well. 

Why should you wear it?

  • Unisex.
  • A signature scent.

Giorgio Armani Code For Women

Giorgio Armani Code For Women

Top notes: Italian Orange, Jasmine and Bitter Orange.

Middle notes Jasmine, Orange Blossom and Ginger.

Base notes are Honey, Vanilla and Sandalwood.

In 2006, the classic Armani code for women was published. And with the first whiff, I was immediately charmed.

It starts highly zesty, with top notes of Italian orange and bitter orange. On the other hand, citrus prefers warm days over scorching days.

If you wear this beauty, the people around you will get the idea that you are a classy and confident woman.

Like many other feminine scents, this perfume is not light and airy. As a result, its longevity is extraordinary. 2 sprays are sufficient for 6 to 8 hours.

Ginger is one of the prominent elements in this fragrance. This gives the fragrance a really warm and inviting vibe.

Let’s move on to the dry-down. This perfume undoubtedly has one of the finest dry downs I’ve ever experienced. The exquisite combination of honey, jasmine, and vanilla hugs you and makes you pleasant and cheerful.

The vanilla is well-balanced, offering just the right amount of sweet accord. This perfume is both seductive and lovely.

The opening and middle have their turn. But the dry down is where you will resemble Pour Femme with Armani code. They are not identical, but they have similarities.

When to wear:

It is more of an evening perfume for its warmth. The ginger note makes this beauty more prominent on cold days. 

Why should you wear it?

  • High longevity
  • Very feminine.

Valentino Valentina Poudre

Valentino Valentina Poudre

Top notes are Powdery Notes and Ambrette (Musk Mallow);

Middle notes are iris and Tuberose;

Base notes are Vanilla, Sandalwood and Tonka Bean.

Valentina Poudre is luxuriously silky and sensually appealing. The vanilla is a mature variety with many powdery notes that are not excessively sweet and in equal amounts with the iris.

In the center, sandalwood and tuberose speak loudly. The tuberose immediately reminds you of the hypnotic Poison.

Jasmine in Pour Femme is replaced with tuberose in Valentina Poudre.

You won’t be able to notice it much because both do their part as white florals, and as they are on the same level in both fragrances, they will smell similar.

Tuberose and iris combine with comforting, warm vanilla and sandalwood in the dry down.

The perfume thrives with a touch of sex appeal and sophistication. This bottle has powdery, exciting, sensual, feminine, sweet, and well-balanced notes.

When to wear:

The best time to wear it is in fall and winter. It is a more daytime fragrance. 

Why should you wear it? 

  • Feminine scent.
  • Good longevity.

Mugler Angel

Mugler Angel

Top notes are Cotton Candy, Coconut, Cassis, Melon, Jasmine, Bergamot, Pineapple and Mandarin Orange;

Middle notes are Honey, Red Berries, Blackberry, Plum, Apricot, Peach, Jasmine, Orchid, Caraway, Nutmeg, Rose and Lily-of-the-Valley.

Base notes are Patchouli, Chocolate, Caramel, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Amber, Musk and Sandalwood.

Because of its composition, Angel was one of the most popular scents in the 1990s.

Mugler was the first perfumery house to develop a fragrance with gastronomic overtones. By developing Angel, it introduced the world to a gourmet smell.

It was published in 1992 and was inducted into the FiFi Award Hall Of Fame in 2007. The bottle is very appealing. It’s a gigantic blue star, and you’ll notice it if it’s in the room.

I smelled the zesty and fruity part of the aroma for a few seconds after the initial spray. But it was quickly gone, replaced by all the gourmand notes.

Vanilla, amber, caramel, and patchouli dominate this scent. It also has excellent woody support.

Yes, it is also extremely long-lasting. It easily lingers on you for 24 hours. What else do you require to love this scent?

After citrus works its magic, Angel goes straight to the creamy vanilla. There is no floral side like Pour Femme. But the vanilla makes their scent close enough.

When to wear: 

This number one gourmand perfume will work magnificently in winter and fall. 

Why should you wear it?

  • Very Gourmand.
  • Feminine scent.
  • Easily liked by the crowd.
