I love your reviews. You are by far the best; informative & entertaining. Your passion for perfume is catching. Thank you. XX
Hi Anna! Thanks so much, :) I don't like to take things so super serious. Perfume should be FUN!
I received the made in France version..produced in february 2020. It misses a few notes but it is Red cap! Regarding the longevity...I sprayed it this morning at 9 and now it is 6:30pm...so it is great. Just to compare...my Allure sensuelle produced in october 2020 last on my skin for 2 hours tops..with moderate to no sillage. New Red cap...I still smell it! So yay...I am happy! Great review...as always!
I know for sure it was reformulated in 2005, that's when Dolce sold the license for fragrances to P&G, they had to buy the rights to use the formula from Euroitalia and cost them a fortune, and gave it to P&G. I worked for them, and am pretty sure about this. Also the perfume de toilette was available in the original formula as well, I had it, and it was divine....
Alessia A This video is really enlightening to red cap junkies like me and your comment only adds new nuances. To me, the Made in Italy version is my favourite female perfume by far, and whenever I smell the Made in Germany version, I can perceive lots of differences. It is still red cap but harsher, less natural, less balanced and if you smell close, even a bit unpolished. From far away, it is more similar to the Made in Italy one, that's true. Made In Germany for me pales in comparison, but my sense of smell sometimes is excessively deep. I wish I could smell a sample of the 2018 rework, though I tend to believe it will disappoint me.
I'm spotting a 'Made in Italy' but licensed by P&G... so there may be a 2nd formula also made in Italy?
@@vaporwavefragrancereviews9520 I smelled it and it gave me nausea it has a bit of p&g and too much of the original soapiness, but totally chemical. It is essy to find it here in Italy and is now made in France
@@alessiaa3482 have you smelled the dolce and Gabbana red cap EDT made in Italy by Procter and gable? Is it worth it? And how close it is to the original euroitalia EDT?
@@Gonzalo_K have you smelled the dolce and Gabbana red cap EDT made in Italy by Procter and gable version? , How close is it to the original euroitalia EDT version? Is it worth it?cheers
Fantastic review, thank you! Red Cap is one of my all-time favourites. So glad to hear it's back, that's made me really happy 😊
You are truly the best fragrance reviewer ever. I adore all of videos, and look forward to each of them. I love the original D&G, as you know, and you did an excellent job explaining the history of it. Thank you, and keep up the great work! 😊
Thanks Josh!! :) I really appreciate that. :)
Ok so you instigated me to get a sample of this... And it was such a cool experience, as I realised I have smelled this before. I am pretty sure that someone in my life wore this when I was a child (maybe my nanny or a teacher) and this transported me to the 90s. Happy times! Needles to say, a full bottle of the vintage bottle is already on its way to me. The dry-down of this fragrance is something else, such a special creature. Anyway, thank you for introducing me to red cap!
Welcome! It's so so beautiful and one of my faves ever!
Can you believe I've never smelled this...need to rectify that!
Yes you do!!!! It's one of the "greats" in my opinion.
Excellent video! I am fortunate to have the original, the reform and the latest one! My favourite is of course the original made in Italy one ;)
Yes!!!! I love them all but that one has the special formula. This fragrance is just amazing, my nose never gets bored of smelling it.
I didn’t realise I owned the Italian version out of my three bottles, I didn’t know there were different formulas necessarily. I had been wearing my 100ml bottle which is one of the middle ones and that’s nice. I saw my 50ml that I haven’t used had a frosty cap and saw Italy on the bottom yay. I tried it and gee it is pretty different in a good way. I find the other ones nice I mean I wear it but it’s a bit sharp. The original is upon comparison smoother and creamier and I personally prefer it.
Haha the making-love part really made me laugh! You are the best! Your ongoing love for this frag really peaks my interest. I actually have smelled very little or even nothing of vintage formulations of anything, which is kinda sad, feel like I missed a whole experience... I might try the new formulation though and the Dior Addict also.
You're the best!
@@ouch110 aww 😊 tried Dior Addict few months ago, really like it.
My fav and finally about to receive a bottle after 6 years! But I have to ask you- what flowers do you smell in here ??
I cannot tell!! I would so love to know which flower do you get the most?!
I get soapy scent, citruses, and then sth like on fire , middle part is like fire burning so warm and sexy and loud. I just cant point finger on of the flowers or dry down notes. 😅😂
I love your fragrance reviews.
Thanks! :)
I'm firmly re-obsessed with this fragrance
Hi beauty. I have the latest edition as well as the second one (25 ml). Must say that the latest formulation is a longevity monster on my skin.. Projection is big actually.. Meanwhile 2nd edition vintage is weaker and indefinite.. So actual formulation for me is the best and as you say closer to the first edition, if not the same. Byeee
Fellow Red Cap obsessive here. I found the original which I am hesitant to use now it’s so good, and another of the later made in Germany versions....it’s got 80% Vol marked on the back. I am not sure which version I have, but this newer one smells more “floral” and sweeter than the original to me on dry down. I discovered and fell in love with this darling Red Cap thanks to you...Let the panic buying begin!!! 😜🥂
Oh I have been through the panic buying with this one haha.
Thanks for your video !! So much work !!
The Parfum de Toilette was MY signature fragrance : this perfume was ME !! I am heartbroken since they have stupidly discontinued it : I can't find another fragrance, I am a perfume orphan !!
Excellent. Subscribed. Great personality. Feel like I'm chatting a friend. Ridiculously nerdular. Great to know that there are others who are scent mad and don't care. I'm wearing Mania by Armani right now.
Heyyy thanks!!! I'm glad you liked it. Ah Mania, I used to have that one. Strange name for such a soft warm fragrance. :)
Omg the ending was too hilarious 😂 . Still laughing as I'm trying to type this. I found a original made in Italy over here in Canada , after watching this I'm tempted to get it. Maybe if I watch your slow mo love potion #9 face a few more times I may decide, lol.
Thank you for the review. I just ordered mine it should be the original one made in Italy. I hope is authentic. I’m excited to smell it
Love these kind of videos thans!! Same kind of issues exist with D&G Pour Homme Italian, German & UK made versions as I'm sure you know. Enjoyed your old review of that one too.
Yes!!! Such a shame because the original D&g Men's one was amazing, one of the strongest things ever! Then it went downhill. They didn't mess up the womne's one half as much as the mens. :(
@@ouch110 totally agree! The men version was originally even better than the woman's...
I love your reviews, most of them are spot on but also entertaining. This is a favourite of mine too, I was so obsessed with this smell I kept sniffing back in the 90s that one day I just asked some random woman in the street who had that smell what she was wearing. The funny thing is that she had bad breath :) but I did not tell her, of course, I just praised her perfume, politely. So I guess D&G Red Cap is really useful sometimes, as it can hide other odours. The Made in Italy original version is heavenly. More delicate and better balanced, but all are really outstanding. Thanks for your reviews!
Thanks!! :) Oh dear...bad breath covered with Red Cap. Ew. Least she has good taste (just not in her mouth oooops).
Very useful information. Thank you.
when I first bought this years ago(made in Italy bottle) I thought geez what's so great about this stuff ..then I was in a mall and a younger man came running out of a shop and asked me what the heck I was wearing and I smelled absolutely divine...I need another bottle now...lol
My fave scent, very useful tips for buying, thanks.
Hi Ouch. Hey I just found you tonight because I bought a Red Cap today from a guy on OfferUp. I’d had it saved for awhile and noticed he’d dropped his asking price from 85 down to 40. I threw a low ball offer of 25 and he took it. I wore it back in the late 90 ‘s and loved it! But just kind of forgot about it. It wasn’t until after I just bought it that I started googling, not thinking that I’d been sold a knock off. I was just curious. Then I learned the history and how it was never the same and the black box and Italy and Germany and attention to the detail and so on. But then I noticed that mine, which I was to believe was just a Germany one (and was disappointed as well that it wasn’t what I remembered it to be!) Anyhow got to lookin on Ebay and could tell just from what little I’ve crammed in the last few hours that there is a LOT of questionables listed. My concern and question to you is that my box, nor my bottle has alcohol volume percentage listed. Anywhere. Would you say with all your knowledge that that would be an indicator?? Thanks!
Hmm this is one of the trickiest perfumes to authenticate because of it's many changed and packages and alllll of that. In this case I would always go on how it smells. YES the newer ones feel different but they still have longevity and oomph!!
I know you don't like to compare one fragrance to another, but...are there any other fragrances that you could compare it to? I've never smelled it and I'm not typically a fan of aldehyded/powder combos, but still quite curious bc it's sooo loved!
Luciano Soprani 2 is the day time office friendly version of Red Cap. The number '2'.
Thank you for this video Thomas, SUPER helpful!! :D
Hey Ouch....love your videos.
I took your recommendation and blind bought a bottle of red cap. It says on the package box and the bottle that it's made in France. So I guess there has been another reformulation. It's a fresh powder scent
I think yes, there has been yet ANOTHER refom, this perfume really has gone through the ringer... It's beautiful in every variation though
I've an original 50ml with frosted red cap, 79% vol., made in Italy, but it has the thinner, sleeker atomiser tube like in the later ones. It came in a square red gift box with black d&g logo and also contained a 50ml tube of creme satinee parfumee/body cream and 50ml of bain sensuel parfume/shower gel. The latter has the warning 'solo per adulti, for adults only' printed on the back of it! Unfortunately, the box has disappeared over the years although I still have all 3 of the contents 😊
Yay you have the good juice!
Very nicely done mate, so interesting, i have various bottles of YSL M7 which has gone through a similar route, i am sure my partner has a bottle of this red cap somewhere so I will hunt the thing down and find out which version it is :))
Thanks dude! It really is a shame, I think however that this reformulation isn't SO terrible like some can be. Yes, it's lost a bit of oomph but it's such a great scent and is still strong, even though reformulated. :)
So, do you prefer the original EdT or the PdT formulation?
Oh..and the new version....I don't like it, at least on my skin it has nothing to do with the original one, it is more powdery and it lasts like a couple of hours on me. So I'm desperately looking for the old Euroitalia one...
Love your video! I miss my red cap😢. What cheaper version would you recommend smells simular? Do you have something in mind?
Thank you so much love love 💜💜
mwah!
@ouch110FrangranceReviews This is a bit Strange but I came accross your channel as I am looking for some great frangrances for me and my girl. I used to watch a lot of ghost shows on the tele and I think a few anomalies in this vid between 8:09 and 8:15 earlier too. a small ball of light or dust comes from the right of the shot then goes up, then re appears and flys in to your head. Not to freak you out but it just caught my eye thought I would mention it. dusty there? maybe just what happens when the room is filled with perfume lol.
Alan Whitcomb :) I hope it’s Angels. :)
The "thing in the middle" is the straw. :)
Great video ! I understand the confusion now :)
Great!
„Parfum de Toilette“ was a common classification in the 80s and 90s, it actually means the same as „Eau de Parfum“.
Very interesting video. I honestly never even heard about this one...
You've never heard of red cap? Oh wow....it's SO lovely. :) Thanks for the comment.
So I purchased a decant of this scent and LAWDY!!! It explains why I couldn’t walk through the fragrance departments of stores in the 1990s. I couldn’t breathe!!! I would literally hold my breath and power walk through the front of the stores. 30 minutes after spraying this on my skin - I’m having to clear my throat. I appreciate that you love this but it smells like a ton of soap and laundry detergent to me. It’s suffocating.
I can now walk through frag departments no problem, thought it was a change in me. Nope. It was scents like this dying off.
An hour in and it has calmed down considerably. I would wear this if that first hour didn’t happen, but it damn near kills me. RIP respiratory tract
Haha oh gosh, be careful! We don't want any death by perfume to happen. :)
This is a great video! I can’t find anywhere where sells it do you know where ? I am scared of buying fakes
I jusst bought a used vintage with the black box! Hope I love it!
Woo! Oh gosh it's amazing.
Mine states that it's made in France,. Do you know anything about that fact? Hope I didn't buy a fake.
Mine is made in France too. It's not fake at all but I would like some info too.
It's a new version, in 2018 they went off of german made batches and started to make it again, with a changed formula of course!
Helloo ...did you try the new made in France version? What do you think? Cheers 😙
Not yet!
I have tried it. It resembles the Made in Germany one but less intense. At least, they relaunched it if only briefly. For me the Made in Italy iteration is much better. Germany and France are ok, but lack the magic.
Very good 👌🏽
Thanks for clearing up the confusion a bit. But searching online has caused me even more confusion yet. Have you heard of the "deodorant parfume" (spelled just like that)? I came across a sealed, vintage box with the black border "made in Italy" 50 ml of this deodorant parfume. I assume this would be the weakest one? Also, some vintages have juice that is really dark, whereas yours shown here still looks pretty fresh. I don't know what to do. I'm afraid to purchase the dark vintage and worried deodorant parfume will be weak. Perhaps I'll just try the new formulation, but I want the best one! Whaa!
HellO!!! I would say that most definitely the deodorant one will be the weakest, kinda like a body mist almost, just meant for casual spritzing or to spray on other parts of your body other than pulse points. In terms of the liquid colour, it just happens with ageing sometimes. I've seen bottles of Angel that are dark brown where the newer ones are blue. It shouldn't make a difference to the smell too much though. :)
ouch110 Fragrance Reviews I think you are right mister! I ended up buying a made in Italy, lightly used edt (not the Deodorant Parfume) and the juice still looks good, although I probably would have still purchased had it been darker. I'm excited to have it again and this time I will not be getting rid of it! :) :) :) Thank you so much for your guidance! So very helpful.
Shantay you stay!
Haha thanks!
I’m pretty sure my sister has this perfume that was gifted to her and remember she said she doesn’t like it. I ask if she still has it and maybe we can arrange to post it to you x
Really? Gosh that's so kind. :)
Red Hot review.
Love it.
Thank you Sir.
Hi Thomas, There is a website that you can input the number under the bottle and it will show you which year
Coool! Thanks I will try that for sure. :)
ouch110 Fragrance Reviews by the way i just bought a bottle yesterday ! Made in germany but not the latest release
I just looked at the bottom of my D&B pour femme bottle and it is a 3.4 oz size bottle but it was manufactured in Italy. It does have a misty cap. Now i know i bought this in the early 1990s, i think it was 1992, as i recall i bought it in duty free in Italy. From your video you do not mention the very first version original came in a 3.4 oz bottle. I thought you might be interest in this little fact. Very sad i am down to my last few sprays and would love to find the first original again have any ideas where i might find it? Thanks lizzy.
The only place I see it is Ebay, as sad as that is. :(
Where can I get the vintage Red made in Italy??...Thanks 😊
I just purchased the 2022 version and all I can smell is soap. Not liking it. I've never smelled the original
Great vid thanks so much..like you this is my ultimate favourite ever, used to wear it when it first came out. Im looking now to buy it again but omg I'm totally confused.com...its a d & g minefield with this perfume 🤔🤔🤯😟 do you know the difference between the red cap original and the black cap ..anyone pleeeeease 🙄😬😬🤗
Which one has the black cap?? hmmmmm
I trust your taste .. you like aldyhide and chypre scents .. just like me.. does this perfume smells like dune ?
It doesn't smell as woody as Dune, Dune is also beeautiful. This one smells more powedry and comforting. Review here....czcams.com/video/Uemmr_YrwHQ/video.html Very old one. :)
Hey hey.. I have a question about the box color, I noticed the in store boxes are not the red you have.. did they change the shade as well? Also they are mostly Edp.. are the ones you have edt? Thank you!!
Hello! Did you see a more dark purple shade, or kind of very dark reddish? If so, that is the newer launch of the fragrance where they COMPLETELY changed it and kept the same name. It is the one filled with Marshmallow, not the same at all. You need to find the bright red ones in order to have the original fragrance with the aldehydes and basil etc etc. It is slowly coming back into shops now I think, i have seen it online in lots of places.
Where did u buy these?!! This is my moms favourite perfume and I have been looking for it forever! 😮
Hello! I got them for various places, the good thing is, it's now available again in lots of countries. It vanished for a while, now it's back, you will find it online somewhere for sure.
I've never smelled this! Need to sort that out, pronto.
Yes!
Thomas (if I remember I once read that your name is Thomas), could you please tell me why the Parfum de Toilette version is now impossible to find ? All the bottles I came across in my Google search are all eau de toilette. Thank you.
Yes it is Thomas. :) hehe. Ya know, I have no idea. Parfum De Toilette is already quite an unusual concentration in the first place, added to the fact that this perfume got discontinued and brought back, it's probably just been phased out.
ouch110 Fragrance Reviews Thanks for answering, Thomas ! :)
Vergogna Dolce e Gabbana !!
ouch110 Fragrance Reviews As you know all the versions of this magnificent fragrance, could you please tell me : is the available EDT (much) than the Parfum de Toilette ? What about lasting power and sillage ? Is it worth spending (that much) money to buy the EDT ? Thank you.
Will you do a review on JPG Classique for Women?
I will eventually be reviewing the newer "intense" one as it's way gorgeous, the other one I'm not so sure. Over the years it has started to turn my stomach a bit. :( Not sure what's happened there.
Ahh cool :) I'm the opposite, didn't get on very well with Intense, as I adore the original EDT; however it has definitely been reformulated over the years, and that never seems to be a good thing :/ I might have to try the EDP again, which is completely different (and yes, thats been messed with too, damn it!).
Do you have a review on the blue cap? X
I do not at the moment. Oooh I should!! I would need to try and find a sample. :)
Apparently there is a Eau de Parfum of this. Any idea where that formulation fits in?
There is?? Cool! I guess it would be the one after the Parfum De Toilette. :) It would be the strongest of the bunch.
@@ouch110 there has always been a edp, called parfum de toilette in the early 90's....the italian made edp is red cap at its best!
I have a bottle of EDP...3.4 oz...the bottle is frosted and the name Dolce& Gabbana is not spelled out but just a capital D&G underlined in gold with POUR FEMME under that line in gold and all this is outlined by a gold box or square. Down lower on the bottle closer to the bottom it is written in gold Eau De Parfum then under that Vaporisateur then under that Natural Spray and lastly spaced down a lil more very near the bottom is written the "e" (for the estimated symbol) then 100ml. a little space then 3.4fl.oz...... all in gold too.... Unfortunately there is no label on the bottom and since I purchased off Merc there was no box with it either....the lady I got it from said it belonged to her Aunt who's perfumes she received after she died....but she said she remembered her smelling like this. I have found no other bottle like it anywhere but as skeptical as I am there is no denying that the fragrance smells like red cap but the only reference I have to compare to is an original formulation EDT and it smells way more dense. The EDP is brighter and doesn't seem to be as heavy but more powdery. I will say the EDP goes on forever. Just wish I could come across another bottle to compare it too.
You are missing the latest latest version, the one Made in France...
That's because this video was uploaded 3 years ago. :)
@@ouch110 did you like it? I bought it here in Italy and returned it, I think they tried to take it back to its original smell, but it gave me nausea....I can smell the resemblance, but there's something totally wrong, maybe it's due to unavailability of ingredients as per EU regulations...
I have a version made in Geneva? Is this a fake?
Hmm I'm not sure..it doesn't sound too promising though. :)
Geneva is the P&G Europe division, maybe the 'Made in Germany/Italy' is missing on the sticker (due to usage)
That's odd because Geneva is Switzerland
Hmm...Mine says "Made in France". Even more confusion now haha!
Oooh a secret formulation!?
@@ouch110 Haha unfortunately I don't think it's that special! It was given to me by my mum. She said she bought it from D&G during a trip to Paris back in 2005/2006. It smells pretty much the same as the newest version, imo. A small exclusive batch, perhaps?
I've just bought a bottle of this parfume and it's made in France. From the batch code It seems that the production Is March 2019. From my research all the Dolce& Gabbana fragrances are now made in France, because they signed a deal with Shiseido which has the global fragrances manufacturing centre in France :)
@@emanuela4590 totally correct!
By the way, my Parfum de Toilette had the black rectangle logo
Nicoletta Romeo cooool! So you have the vintage parfum de toilette. Lucky you!!
ouch110 Fragrance Reviews I had :(
And the notes are... ?!!
I don't often do notes to specifically in spotlights. This was more about the comparisons of different formulations. My review is here.....czcams.com/video/Uemmr_YrwHQ/video.html
Fun Fact: This is Trump's favorite scent on a woman.
oh, good lord, that's upsetting to hear.
Edie ok... I'm throwing them all in the bin :(
Edie Oh dear, I absolutely do not want to associate one of my favorite perfumes with that person. Nothing fun about that fact, I'm afraid:-(
Zeneida Indeed
Hilarious, He an embarrassment to me and my country! Please don't tell the little red D&G bottle of perfume! She may break or spout a leak! Did you know he had made a colonge called SUCESS! very gaudy and smelly cheap old man gasoline fragrance. If you smell it you think it was surgical scrub chloroprep.😂😂😂😂
Is this VERY feminine?
Sid Julien yep! Click on the card thingy and I have a full review. :)
ouch110 Fragrance Reviews I was hoping it would be a bit unisex. Can you do a gender bender series please
Sid Julien done! Hehe. Just search ouc110 gender gender and you will find. X

No more cheap frags for me. Only attars and oils. The designer frags are fucking us to get more sales. I have 518 bottles of vintage, designer, and niche colognes. I am done. NO one will get me to buy any other frags from cheap houses LIKE D and C, YSL, whatever. Time to ONLY buy bitcoin and ethereum. I already smell fine, I need more wealth. Frags are NOT wealth. But, love them but no more buying them.
Ok!! You go on wit ya bad self. :) hehe.
This is the worst fragrance reviewing I have ever seen. Jesus Christ 🤣.
