Is Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme relatively unique in the fragrance world or is there a group of fragrances that revolve around a similar concept? What are some others that I might like? I first smelled it several years ago before I became interested in fragrances. I was in a cinema about to watch "Hannibal" and someone close by must have bathed in it. It was so strong and it seared it way into my brain. Two weeks ago at a mall I sprayed a card with D&G PH and I knew instantly where I'd smelled it before - Hannibal! I am really surprised at the apparent usage of this scent (from what I've gleaned on this forum anyway). A club scent?!? No way would I have thought this scent would be a favorite of the younger crowd. It smells purely of formal affairs to me. I've worn it to work a couple of times (shirt and tie, office setting) and I begin to feel somewhat self conscious because it's so strong and luxurious. Strictly one for the concert hall, theatre, etc in my opinion. Any ideas on follow-up scents to try?

All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
I'm a female who LOVES to wear D&G PH myself...it's a GREAT fragrance. When I first smelled Burberry London, it reminded me of D&G PH, not because it smelled like it, but because it made me feel the same way when I smelled it. Love @ first sniff, I guess![]()

It was that same thread that kind of led me to create this discussion. In that thread Scentsei (in a break from the D&G lovefestOriginally Posted by dcampen
) says that he smelled other fragrances from the same family that aren't that different from D&G, and that D&G PH is nothing special in that regard. But from my research (Basenotes and Osmoz) I can't exactly find what that "family" is or what he might have been comparing D&G with. Maybe I could have just sent him a*message and asked but that's not as fun. *

Try Creed's Tabarome Millesime - similar tobacco thing but not as sharp, with more ginger.
I actually think of Guerlain Vetiver and Bulgari PH/PH Extreme as being similar to D&G PH, even though they are far from smell-alikes. All three have a black pepper note (and Vetiver also shares a tobacco note with D&G PH) that connects them to my nose. Guerlain Vetiver has much sharper citrus topnotes, where D&G is fruitier, and Bulgari PH is more subtle than either of the others.
To a lesser extent, I associate Versace The Dreamer with D&G PH because of the shared tobacco note.

Just because it happened to you doesn't make it interesting.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Guerlain Vetiver
Dunhill 2003
Versace Dreamer
New Tabarome
Very Valentino (although very muted in comparison)

Dunhill Homme (2003) definitely. There's also a neat "liquor" note in it. One of my wife's faves on me.
Versace: The Dreamer..............absolutely!

Versace Man. You can't go wrong with that.
Second that! Dreamer and D&G pour homme have a lot of similarities to my nose. For me, Dreamer is probably stronger on the tobacco note than D&G, with D&G seeming to achieve a bit more versatile balance with the citrus topnotes and presence of woods in the drydown.Originally Posted by Mic

You might want to try Kiton. It's along the same lines but D&G is more complex.
To me D&g PH smells like a cross between Creed Green Valley and Azzaro Pure Vetiver.I enjoy all 3 greatly.
Waay too synthetic and sharp!

I haven't tried them side by side, but I recently briefly tested Perry Ellis Portfolio Green and my first impression was, "Damn, this smells exactly like D&G PH!"
