Dolce & Gabbana Femme Eau de Toilette 100ml — also known as Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme Red Cap, the original 1992 women's fragrance — is a polished aldehydic floral, the brand's first scent and the perfume that introduced the Italian house to international fragrance counters. Composed by Jean-Pierre Mary and Martine Pallix, it opens with sparkling aldehydes, basil, citruses and freesia, develops through a sophisticated heart of Bulgarian rose, jasmine, orange blossom and carnation, and settles onto a creamy, slightly powdery base of sandalwood, vanilla, musk and tonka bean.
About Dolce & Gabbana
Founded in Milan in 1985 by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, the house celebrates Italian sensuality, family and Mediterranean light. Its perfumery line — built around pillars like Light Blue, The One and Dolce — extends those themes into fragrance. The 1992 Pour Femme was the brand's debut perfume and remains a sentimental favourite among long-time fans.

Who it's for
Dolce & Gabbana Femme suits women who like classical, full-bodied 1990s florals — those who appreciate the polished, slightly powdery character of aldehydic perfumery. It is at its best in autumn and winter, ideal for evenings, formal occasions and any context where you want a fragrance with old-school presence. If you wear scents like Chanel No. 5 or Estée Lauder Beautiful in their classical facets, Femme sits comfortably in the same family.
