If you compare this line to that of Chanel I agree with Joe and blas. It's nothing special at all. They better not call it Private Collection. Is D&G going downhill? Their Light Blue pour Homme is disappointing, while the discontinued By Man and Woman were wonderful. I guess people can't have enough of fresh, aquatic scents.

They are just a bunch of synthetic-smelling designer compositions in niche-looking packages, though I quite like the La Roue de la Fortune - a gourmand with a pineapple topnote. I agree with the responses though, spend your money elsewhere.

I agree with everyone here; not worth getting involved with this group of fragrances.

Thanks folks, you saved me 70 bucks.
Will buy White Patchouli with this money instead.

Tom Ford White Patchouli is a much more interesting, complex scent that is well worth the money.

The D&G collection is synethic smelling that are completely uninteresting. Girls LOVE to wear #3 L'Impératrice because it is a fruity floral composition. It is a strawberry, raspberry juicebox smell. The sillage is better than the fragrance itself. But I don't like smelling like a juice box, so I stray away. Reminds me Flowerbomb and Pink Sugar in the sugar realm.

Yes, White Patchouli is a much better choice, not to mention a small bottle of the Tom Ford will last you twice as long as a big bottle of one of those D&Gs.
