What do those D&G unisex scents smell like?
By Michael Rares | August 8, 2010
Perhaps you’ve been wondering what these new D&G (Dolce and Gabbana) fragrances smell like? Well, if you’ve never tested them or are curious about giving these as gifts, here’s some info on a couple of our favorites: D&G 10 La Roue de Fortune (the wheel of fortune) and D&G #6 L’Amoreux (the lover). For this week only (August 10-17), shipping on all D&G Anthology fragrances is free in the continental US at BigDiscountFragrances.com!
First of all, Dolce and Gabbana Anthology, made by Dolce & Gabbana, was launched in 2009. The collection was inspired by tarot cards and their marks and are intended to be unisex fragrances. BigDiscountFragrances now has the entire collection at very affordable discount prices, so the time is right to start collecting these easy-to-wear scents. More importantly, with the holidays just around the corner or your favorite student returning to school, the price is right for gift-giving.
#10, LA ROUE DE FORTUNE or THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE
With notes of tuberose, gardenia, jasmine, benzoin and patchouli, this one might seem like it would be better suited for a woman rather than a man, but this one is a complete surprise. Reminding us of gourmand (food-like) fragrances like Thierry Mugler Angel or Hanae Mori HM for Men, for example, #10, La Roue de Fortune or The Wheel of Fortune will be a welcome addition to anyone’s collection.
The fragrance is sweet and floral, but not so floral that a man would actually recognize the individual flower notes. Patchouli is subtle here, neither too bitter nor too “hippy”, and the benzoin is an ambery, vanilla-like basenote that helps this one last and last and last! In fact, one of the best aspects of #10, La Roue de Fortune or The Wheel of Fortune surely has to be how long this bottle will last you because you won’t need to re-apply it every few hours!
Great for cooler weather, #10, La Roue de Fortune or The Wheel of Fortune will turn heads and help you be noticed. Unlike the fresh sporty men’s scents or pretty, fruity women’s scents that we’ve been enjoying these last few years, #10, La Roue de Fortune or The Wheel of Fortune is more robust and perfect for romantic evenings.
With notes of spices, juniper berries, bergamot, pink pepper, cardamom, birch leaf, iris root, wood and musk, wearing #6 L’Amoreux or The Lover is like falling into a cool mountain lake in the middle of summer. For those who enjoy fragrances like L’Eau d’Issey for Men or Women or DKNY Fragrances, #6 L’Amoreux or The Lover is a complete contrast to #10, La Roue de Fortune or The Wheel of Fortune. While #10 is sweet, strong, and longlasting, #6 L’Amoreux or The Lover is lighter, brighter, and much more subtle. Together the two make a perfect pair of opposing fragrance styles (and at these clearance tester prices, you can actually buy two for less than the price of one retail, packaged bottle!).
#6 L’Amoreux or The Lover begins with a burst of citrusy freshness and then dries down with a comforting woodsy musk. Perfect for casual daytime wear or for those who must work or study around others throughout the day, #6 L’Amoreux or The Lover will be inoffensive, shower-fresh, and never overbearing.
