DOLCE&GABBANA
BY

Dolce&Gabbana's By opens with a bold burst of pepper and nutmeg, setting a spicy tone that draws you in right away. As it evolves, the heart reveals a sophisticated blend of artemisia and lavender, adding a fresh yet aromatic layer that balances the initial warmth. The fragrance transitions gracefully into a rich base where leather, guaiac wood, tobacco, amber, and sandalwood converge, creating a deep and inviting finish that lingers beautifully on the skin. This Eau de Parfum is best suited for men who appreciate a robust scent that thrives in the cooler months, making it ideal for fall and winter evenings. With its long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, By is perfect for nighttime outings where you want to make a memorable impression. If you enjoy fragrances that blend fresh spices with a woody and aromatic character, this scent stands out in its category. For a similar vibe, you might consider exploring fragrances like Tom Ford’s Noir, but By offers a unique edge that keeps it firmly in the spotlight.

verifiedBy Fragranova Editors

Expect nutmeg and pepper up top, with lavender and artemisia carrying the middle of the wear. Sandalwood, tobacco, and leather carry the base, which is where the wear ultimately lives. Performance lands in the middle: dependable longevity with measured projection. Lives in the fall-to-winter window with a nighttime tilt. Community sentiment is consistently positive (4.5/5 across 3,129 votes), a low-risk pick.
