The compositions
Kipling
Salvatore Ferragamo pour Homme
A bright grapefruit opening gives way almost immediately to a warm cardamom-and-clove heart that defines the fragrance's character.
Dolce&Gabbana Pour Femme Dolce&Gabbana
A bouquet of white flowers softened by the sweetness of raspberry and neroli in the opening.
Dolce Gabbana pour Femme
A raspberry-tinted overture introduces this floral, lifting into neroli brightness before settling into a powdery jasmine core.
Dolce&Gabbana Dolce&Gabbana
The opening feels green and aqueous—ivy and freesia meeting bright bergamot with an almost soapy clarity.
Dolce Gabbana
The original Dolce & Gabbana opens with a green sharpness—basil and ivy cutting through bergamot—before the florals arrive.
Jaipur
Jaipur opens with the bruised sweetness of stone fruit—plum and peach mostly, with pineapple lending a bright, syrupy edge.
