Is Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme good for everyday wear?

Yes. Its citrus-lavender opening and tobacco base suit office and casual daytime use. It is heavier than a pure summer cologne, so it works best in mild to cool weather.

How long does it last?

Most owners report several hours on skin and longer on clothing. As an eau de toilette it is not as concentrated as a parfum, so expect to reapply on long days.

Is this the original formulation?

No. The current version is a reformulation of the 1994 original. Some longtime fans say it is lighter and less mossy than early bottles.

What does it smell like?

It opens with citrus and lavender, moves through a soft floral heart, and dries down to tobacco, cedar and musk. The overall effect is clean and barbershop-like rather than sweet.

Is it a good gift for a man?

It is a safe choice for someone who likes classic masculine fragrances. It is less sweet and less sporty than many modern men's scents, so it suits traditional tastes.

How does it compare with Acqua di Gio?

Pour Homme is warmer and more tobacco-driven, while Acqua di Gio is fresher and more aquatic. Pour Homme leans formal; Acqua di Gio leans casual and summery.
