By, a Warm Spicy Woody for Men

By for Men was a warm, spicy signature scent. Our version keeps that character, opening with mandarin, bergamot, and orange before a cardamom, ginger, and pepper heart settles over sandalwood, amber, musk, and incense.

The Story Behind the Scent

Dolce & Gabbana built By for Men as a warm, seductive oriental woody, spicy and confident. The idea was a bold, sensual scent for the evening, rich and a little smoky.

That warm, spicy character is why it kept a following. The citrus keeps it bright at first, the spices give it heat, and the woods and incense make it deep. Since it was discontinued, fans have missed it. Our interpretation keeps it available.
