Dolce & Gabbana Variety is a men's fragrance from the Italian house known for its bold, sensual approach to fragrance design. The brand has built its reputation on distinctive scents that balance accessible appeal with distinctive character.

Variety opens with a bright, citrusy burst of bergamot and mandarin orange, tempered by herbal basil and freesia for a fresh, slightly green quality. The heart reveals the fragrance's floral backbone, built on Bulgarian rose, jasmine, and lily of the valley, with supporting notes of carnation and orange blossom creating a full, rounded bouquet. The base settles into a creamy, sweet composition of tonka bean, vanilla, and sandalwood, anchored by soft musk. This is a distinctly gourmand floral with a pronounced sweet, white floral character that lingers close to skin.

Variety suits someone drawn to floral fragrances with genuine sweetness rather than delicate florals. It works best in cooler months or evening settings where its creamy richness feels appropriate, though the citrus opening keeps it from feeling heavy. This fragrance aligns with The Romantic, The Heirloom, and The Hedonist sensibilities.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Aldehydes
Aldehydes
The chemical family that created modern perfumery, aldehydes were first used prominently in Chanel N°5 (1921), adding a soapy, abstract, almost metallic sparkle that lifted the fragrance above anything previously possible. They don't smell like anything in nature; their effect is more textural than aromatic. Aldehydic fragrances feel luminous, sophisticated, and distinctly 20th century.
Basil
Basil
Sweet, spicy, and vividly herbal, basil has a green freshness with slightly anise-like and peppery facets that make it more complex than most culinary herbs. In perfumery it adds a lively, Mediterranean quality and pairs beautifully with citrus and woody notes. An underused note that rewards those who seek it out.
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Citruses
Citruses
Freesia
Freesia
Bright, clean, and slightly peppery, freesia is a springtime flower with a fresh, almost citrusy edge that prevents it from reading as purely sweet. It's one of the more versatile florals, sitting comfortably in both delicate feminine compositions and fresh unisex fragrances. Approachable and elegant simultaneously.
Ivy
Ivy
Cool, green, and slightly bitter, ivy leaf has a sharp, watery greenness with a faint woody undertone. It's used in perfumery to add a cold, shadowy greenness to compositions, the scent of an old stone wall covered in climbing plants, simultaneously fresh and ancient.
Mandarin Orange
Mandarin Orange
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Bulgarian Rose
Bulgarian Rose
The most prized rose in perfumery, grown in the Valley of Roses in Kazanlak, Bulgaria. Rosa damascena cultivated here produces an oil of extraordinary depth: honeyed, velvety, with faint hints of tea, honey, and spice. The standard against which all other rose materials are measured.
Carnation
Carnation
Spicy, clove-like, and slightly powdery, carnation is one of perfumery's oldest floral notes, with a warm, almost peppery character that distinguishes it from softer flowers. It has a vintage, slightly old-fashioned quality that is coming back into fashion. Think pressed flowers in an old book, warm and complex.
Coriander
Coriander
Warm, spicy, and faintly citrusy, coriander seed smells quite different from the green herb, with a dry, woody warmth and a slight floral quality. It adds a spiced, slightly exotic character to masculine fragrances without the sharpness of pepper or the sweetness of vanilla. A supporting spice note that adds complexity.
Jasmine
Jasmine
Intoxicating, heady, and slightly animalic, jasmine is one of the few flowers that smells as rich in a bottle as it does climbing a garden wall at dusk. It has an almost fleshy, indolic quality that stops it reading as purely 'clean.' Jasmine is a workhorse in both feminine and masculine perfumery, adding depth and soul.
Lily
Lily
Grand, creamy, and slightly spicy, Oriental lily (Stargazer, Casablanca) is one of the most powerful natural flowers, with a heady, complex sweetness that fills a room. White lily is softer and more transparent. Both add drama and elegance to floral compositions, though they require careful handling to avoid becoming oppressive.
Lily Of The Valley
Lily Of The Valley
Crisp, green, and dewy, this spring flower smells like rain on cool grass with a clean, soap-like clarity. It's one of perfumery's most requested scents despite being nearly impossible to extract naturally, so it's almost always recreated synthetically. The result is fresh, tender, and timelessly elegant.
Marigold
Marigold
Pungent, earthy, and bitter-green, marigold is one of perfumery's more challenging florals. Unlike romantic rose or sweet jasmine, marigold smells of sun-warmed earth and slightly sharp greenery with a medicinal edge. It adds a grounded, uncommon naturalness to compositions that want to smell genuinely alive.
Orange Blossom
Orange Blossom
Sweeter and more honeyed than neroli (both come from the same tree), orange blossom is a floral note with a warm, almost edible quality. It floats between citrus and floral families, adding richness without weight. A signature note of classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern perfumery.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
Tonka Bean
Tonka Bean
Sweet, powdery, and almond-like with hay-like, slightly tobacco undertones, tonka bean is one of perfumery's most useful base notes. It shares coumarin with fresh hay and freshly cut grass, adding a warmth that feels nostalgic and comforting. Essential in gourmand and soft oriental fragrances.
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
