A friend of mine brought his 2012 batch into work (I checked the batch code, dates etc..).
Oh my goodness, this fragrance is absolutely gorgeous.
So rich, warm, spicy, sweet, alluring and seductive…
I’m in disbelief that this is no longer available???
I don’t think there is anything like this available today….what a shame.
denbrief – :
This is a great smelling fragrance. However, it is very hard to get an authentic version. Whatever you do, please do not purchase from this seller on eBay: grandaward09 (Jason Wynter). The seller is selling fake versions of this gem. The bottles are filled with a cheap smelling cologne.

Just wooow!! Remind me Lolita Lempicka pour homme and Empori Armani him mixed.

Parfums Vintage is releasing a fragrance inspired by D&G By Man called “Intrigo Devestante” and an intense version. I’ve sampled both and they’re both really good! I’d pick the intense version of the 2 for obvious reasons. Keep your eyes open for it!!

I just paid $475 for a 50ml bottle. Expensive? Yes, but worth it in so many fucking fantastic ways.

Sometimes it’s a bigger torture having a bottle of a fragrance you know you can’t afford to let run out, than looking for a bottle you’ve never had. This has been my case with this masterpiece. Reality is if this was crap you still don’t want it to run out due to rarity, but you have liquid gold in a bottle that the world needs to smell on you, so what would you do?
Jokes apart, this is truly unique, age has done a fine job with this amazing sandalwood laden Concoction, it smells rich, full and smoooooth, sincerely perfection to me.
It works really well in the fall. Rich Lavender at the base holds everything together perfectly, if you can get it without paying with your blood, pls do it gets even better with time. Classic stuff.

One of the best Oriental woody fragrances for men. This scent is on a mature and professional realm in spite of the bottle design. I wish D&G would put it back in circulation. It’s so unique from other male scents that I’ve experienced.
Scent: 8.5 / 10
Projection: 8 / 10
Longevity: 8 / 10

regauposter777 – :
My mother bought this perfume many years ago and I still have it in the vintage perfumes closet. It’s used. I wanted to resell it to make money but the smell is so good that I never sprayed it again or had the courage to sell it! D&G makes very good perfumes and this was so good that my mom used it even if it was a men fragrance..maybe because it’s balsamic and sweet. If there are people interested contact me, I have to decide what to do with it, it’s a waste keeping it in the closet, I will use it or sell it.
HaisireimibrE – :
I don’t think I have an authentic bottle of this because based on what I’m seeing it’s suppose to be this super beastly fragrance although what I smell is identical to what the notes appear to be I get about 4 maybe 5 hours longevity with this one with descent projection for the first hour so I believe this is possibly a reformulated BY… If this had lasted at least 8 hours it would make my top 10 it definitely has a smell that is unique in its way what I get from this is a smooth creamy powdery type of smell,very pleasant!

This is the best fragrance ever made, Biscuity and almond like and like a fine Champagne. and I have been on the Holly Grail of searches This was it. When I learnt of its discontinuation I purchased all the remaining stock from a High Street Store and listed a few bottles where a certain person kept contacting me if I get a certain color (I think he said black, he would pay twice the price. The trap set He then got a friend to list one with black cap on it for a BIN price for £250. Like a mug I bought it and PM the guy who kept asking me about the black cap. I did a bit of research dn contacting the D&G customer services they said there was no black cap and white cap it was only available in one colour, but when the cap inner lining which is white the black would show, Anyhoo I said to the guy who kept pestering me about the if you get a black cap I would he would pay more that I have got the colour of the cap you wanted. to black or vice versa, I cant remember which now it was several years ago. Knowing I had been scammed I was p+ssd His mate had sent it by tracked, but packed it very very poorly. So I said it had arrived damaged. I broke the bottle and filled a complaint and the auction site said return the damaged bottle I did do so to teach him a lesson. Tracked and he would not go to pick it up. I said it is not my fault he did not go to pick it up. I got my money back and had he lost a bottle of D&G and lost on postage. The black and white cap is just that the inner liner has been lost, and given the glue of that age is lost some caps have this inner liner come loose. Don;t fall this black white cap scam. It is a beautiful scent. When a fragrance goes obsolete it is really bad new if you don’t have it, however if you have a lot of bottles no one else will smell like you! This is the ultimate as a fragrance can smell really good, but if every next person where it as is the case with Issey Miyaki or Muglers Amen then it just becomes hated. You can get scents which smell really nice, and providing you have the money you can throw money at it. But when a scent is withdrawn you cant even thrown money at it! D&G By for Him is simply beautiful. If I could only have one scent in my wardrobe this would be the one! Stunning! Longevity great, its smell simply beautiful. If this was a Champagne it would the Dom Perignon, and of the best vintage! When ever I wear it men and women ask what I am wearing it, the next is where can they get it? This is the beauty you cant so no one else can smell like you and will smell like you. So if you do not have it, it is the supply and demand. No supply and those who know about it demand is high, hence the price. It is the Gull wing Mercedes of it day!

does anyone know if it came out in a 1oz 30ml bottle?? i found one for sale 30ml bottle with white inner cap but i have never seen this size before?
sten5807 – :
Well,
Im on 1 year smell test on this one..
So I can describe it with my own way..
If it’s taste, it’s milky candy.
If it’s fruit, it’s fresh red apple.
If it’s care product, it’s Shaving foam-cream.
If it’s 3 words, it’s clean soapy and heavy.
If it’s 2 words, it’s milky soap.
If it’s 1 word, it’s barbeshop.
I can not imagine any type of woman who wears this scent..
Scent: 8,5 It’s Unique Imo.. (kind of “One million vibe” without the “tons” of bubblegum)
Sillage: 8,5
Longevity: 10 out of 10.
But guys, remember that..
(NOT WORTH THE 300+DOLLARS,TRUST ME! Just buy the D&G The One Edp..It’s close to this one)
“Myth” busted..
Матрешка – :
To me, this smells fresh, clean and somewhat powdery. For some reason, it’s hard for me to pick out individual notes. Based on what I read on the scent profile here, it’s more sandalwood and lavender than leather.
If memory serves me correctly, this fragrance has a lot in common with another A&F creation, Fierce.
By Man itself is incredibly strong and strong and long lasting. A couple of sprays and it’s easily lasts 10-12 hours.
seryogagol – :
The best creation of Alberto Morillas!!!
gribraHable – :
I have found this cologne in many places. But all of them had a black inner cap which from what I understand it is not real. However they were asking $125 which I don’t think is worth it. They actually smell similar but the scent wears off after 20minutes on the fake version. In reality the average selling price for an authentic bottle 50ml is $300. So if someone really wants it that’s what you should expect to pay unless you luck out and find it in a stores old stock
yradasha – :
I can see why people refer to By as a lost legend. I snapped a bottle up really cheap some time ago and I was glad I did since it’s quite hyped on fragrantica. At first I really liked it, but after a while I just deemed it too strong, too much. It became obnoxious. I liked the combination of tobacco, leather and sandalwood – it must have been one of the best I have smelled. Sensual and strong, but with a certain restraint. The sandalwood smells so good, the leather is very refined and the tobacco gives it a hushing smokiness.
Along with a powdery element (I suspect nutmeg), the fragance was perfect for me; until that intense, headache induring accord showed up. I think it might have been the overly sweet amber and lavender combination. I hated it, it felt like a bright neon light shining directly into your eyes on full strength. Sillage is enormous and so is longevity.
I can understand why people like it a lot, but it’s just too intense for me personally. Were it not for that obnoxious sweet accord I would have kept it. I certainly wouldn’t pay such a high price for it, though. A shame, but I’m glad I had the chance to experience the ‘magic’ of By.
sveshnikov-56 – :
By for men has to be one of the best colognes of all time. The sandalwood note is what really takes over, and smells so exotic when mixed with the spicy notes. I have gotten soo many compliments on this fragrance. It’s such a shame that Dolce & Gabbana discontinued this. I give them credit for the new The One EDP. But they seriously need to consider bringing this back. Does anyone know why it was Discontinued. I have heard so many different stories as to why it went off the shelves.

I am contemplating buying this one again since this was one of my first true loves. It now sells for $500, when back in the day I bought it for $80.
It’s one of those things where I wonder if it will smell as good to me now as it did back then.
I loved this one when it came out, we did everything together. Went on dates, went to the gym, went to work, you know,… spent quality time together.
I just wonder if we get back together, and if I smell it now, would I still feel the same way?
A case of the Ex….
vanino61 – :
There have been many slightly sweet and spicy sandalwood based fragrances created that have come and gone over the years. One of the more notable ones was Gucci Envy. And along side that, we have Dolce & Gabbana By Man.
I have to say that D&G made a huge mistake discontinuing this one. Maybe at some point this style of fragrance had been explored enough and folks were ready to move on? But just because something goes out of style doesn’t mean it should be abandoned, especially if so well orchestrated. Perhaps D&G should have had a better marketing program.
By Man has a similar vibe to Gucci Envy, but is spicier and more peppery. It’s truly one of the more versatile and “attractive” sandalwood forward fragrances I’ve come across. I started out with a mini (overpaid) and then got lucky on a 50ml bottle through a local venue (good deal). But how disappointing to see so many fakes out there and such a thin trickle of inventory appearing on “that auction site”, sending market prices through the roof. It’s too expensive. So I’m plundering through my bottle and once it is exhausted that will be it. 2015 will be my year of enjoying D&G By Man, and then that will be it.
If you can find a bottle without breaking the bank, go for it (resale is easy, if you don’t like it). But just keep in mind that you can’t have a long term romance with By Man. It’s fleeting… just enjoy it while you can.
DRAKON64 – :
@ Snoopy…you are 100% right that with all the accumulation of knowledge it would lead companies to replant. Unfortunately it never happened and it would leave the Purfumery’s to stop producing such an amazing GEM.
By in today’s market would come in as a niche fragrance similar to Bond 9 and many others priced at 299.00 and more.
I absolutely love the warm woodsy/amber notes, my nose picks up a definite floral vib either carnations and or red roses.
The deep masculine aroma of leather and tobacco create a real woodsy-spicy-oriental aroma which completes this fragrance. Both guaiac wood and pepper awakens your senses creating a deeply SEXY juice.
Longevity and Silage is excellent lasting well over 8hrs and being able to smell this juice about 2ft away.
Overall opinion,
Out of all D&G’s frag’s By is far non the best. Dolca&Gabbana by D&G is a close 2nd. I’m referring to the original version which was manufactured in Italy not in the U.K.
This juice could easily be another gender bender…why not. The quality of most fragrance made in that decade will never come back…so sad 🙁
I’m so fortunate that I found 2 bottles, one is sealed and stored away from humidity. Easy to rate this exquisitely crafted juice…a truly elegant fragrance. 100% liquid gold….10/10 ☺ Those who own this juice know how desirable this fragrance is. Viva BY…..

AERONIK – :
If someone asks me describe how a perfume should and must smell like I say BYman. I don’t need to think about that! Don’t want to talk much about cause it makes me sad for its absence nowadays.
What i really want to tell. Don’t think and let nobody fool you that this was discontinued for the reason that it wasn’t selling as warm sandwiches.
No the reason is that the ‘Nose’ has used expensive unique materials/notes to create it. thats why its barely impossible to find a identical scent.
its musky/amber scent oil remember me of some arabic oils. And something else i will say, even if the package says edt it must be classified as a edp!
for the reason that it not contains much of alcohol and my nose doesn’t smell much of it
The strangest thing of all is the nose behind this fragrance?! Probably made in collaboration by Max Gavarry and Olivier cresp!
A similar fragrance that comes close is the drydown part of la nuit. if you could take some of the lavender away from it and add ambroxan/musk/nutmeg you create Byman;)also Jungle by Kenzo is identical. if you could add more musk to it you get the same
alexnest_1982 – :
I can’t really see the comparisons to Ed Hardy Man. BY Man is a wonderful fragrance, but it does smell like something from another era (dated, as in very ’90s). They don’t make scents like these anymore. Everything nowadays has a ton of tonka, and mint, and iris, and whatever else is a la mode (looking at you OUD). BY Man is more traditional in its fougere construction, using lavender and nutmeg with a touch of leather and sandalwood to create something uniquely masculine. Ed Hardy is a simple, woody-sage fragrance with a fruity start. That’s just the way my nose sees it.
Kolegov – :
@Houstcs – Are you sure you got a real sample of BY because the real thing is out of this world.. I also owned Ed Hardy a while ago and I did not see any similarity to BY whatsoever.. That would be like comparing Light Blue to M7.. BY is also a very complex masterpiece that sometimes takes time to understand.. As far as fragrances that are similar to it there is Kristiansand NY or Very Valentino, although they do not posses the magic BY does..
юра125 – :
I have been ready to sample this for some time now, and was pretty disappointed. I have hears comparisons to ed hardy man, and I agree they are pretty similar, and I really do not understand why people want this so bad, unless they have never had it like me and hear all the talk about it being the best ever. I found it boring but smells really good, still not amazing. It’s like a solid 9/10, but not one I feel like anyone will notice. For everyone else out there dying to smell it, the talk doesn’t add up. Buy ed hardy man and save a few hundos
purchased from reputable decanting site
begar – :
For my current impression, this is essentially a less complex Gucci Envy without the ginger and incense, and a sweeter body with more sandalwood. Sandalwood, leather, amber, lavender, and pepper are all there in common with Envy and By Man. Still, it’s a terrific fragrance on its own. Is it worth the going market prices these days? Not for me. I’d rather spend less money and get Gucci Envy (although that one has gotten rather expensive these days). But I certainly won’t turn down a bargain on By Man if I happen to find one (can only hope!).
This one is terribly fraught with fakes. The “black cap liner” thing is fading out, as there are some fakes appearing with white caps now. Hardest thing to fake is the translucent gasket. That’s the giveaway. Don’t buy this sealed as you’re taking a big risk… as some sellers don’t even know they have a fake. Btw, if you think Ed Hardy Man is better, you’ve DEFINITELY gotten a fake! 😉
A solid 9.5 on fragrance, 7.5 on longevity, and 6.0 on value based on current market prices.

This fragrance was released in 1997 but it is really actual. By man was made in EUROITALIA, this society have made all the old Dolce & Gabbana fragrances.
It opens with a blast of nutmeg, then comes the lavender, and after it evolves in a leathery and woody base. The dry down remembers me la nuit de l’homme but By man is more audacious and less generic.
By man is a modern,gentle and kinda unisex fragrance.
If Dolce & Gabbana relaunches it keeping the quality, this one could sell good because it’s really contemporary.
I like it.
rating: 4/5

Nothing compares to this, I might be exaggerating but I want to. One of the first fragrances i bought, the fragrance that really sparked my interest in fragrances.

After reading all these reviews i thought to myself this must be something special, found a bottle rotting at an independant fragrance store in the middle of nowhere. bought it and opened it inside the store to see what all the hype was about. this could have been a winner back in the day when it came out because there might not have been anything like it, but now 2014, pretty much every deisgner fragrance house has something that smells like it or much better than it. chanel, armani, ferragamo. it smells pretty generic and nothing special. yeah the bottle is cool and stands out but the fragrance itself isn’t anything to be going all crazy about.
aneeyachan – :
I just received a 4 ml bottle of this and I don’t see the charm… at all. It seems chaotic and poorly executed and could easily be mistaken for a dozen other designer frags on the market right now. There’s just nothing that stands out and I was looking forward to the walnut note, but it seems to get lost somewhere in the middle. Disappointing.

I have alfred dunhill desire and I have a sample from a known authentic bottle of by man. In my opinion, I think desire is too strong to be compared to by man. By man is a very calm close to skin scent whereas desire is very conspicuous and can sometimes be overbearing. Desire is also better used in colder whereas by can be worn at anytime. By man is a very subtle a great scent for everyday use

What can I say about D&G By Man, this stuff is just special. Always has been, and now that it’s been (criminally) discontinued, that just makes it even more special.
Unique, manly, sexy as hell and lasts and projects all day long. Not only do I love it, but apparently everyone who smells it on me does too. Definitely one of my all time favorites. One of the best fragrances there ever has been and probably ever will be. D&G you’re crazy for discontinuing this masterpiece!
raisubreste – :
11 / 10 .piece of art . The sexiest scent ever . Nutmeg and pepper then artemisia and lavender! dries down to a beautiful amber leather and woods … A must have in your collection . You will be lucky to find an authentic bottle . If u do , save it for your lifetime …
melitopol – :
Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme was the fragrance that sparked my fragrance addiction, so I started collecting the D&G lineup.. When I heard about By Man and how rare and hard to find it was, I knew that it had to be something special.. I managed to by myself a 1.7 ounce bottle for $200 from a reputable store a couple years ago when I was doing a lot better financially.. When I first sprayed the fragrance on my arm I was a little confused and thought it smelled of what some would call “old women” perfume.. But than I gave it another chance and actually wore the fragrance, and that time it smelled completely different! I fell head over heels in love with it immediately, and after a little bit more experimentation with By it had already replaced D&G Pour Homme as my favorite fragrance.. I like masculine men’s fragrances but do not like when they are over the top macho.. By Man has some androgynous qualities, which works perfectly for me.. But I think all women interested should definitely go for By Women which is equally a masterpiece and one of the sexiest women’s fragrances I have come across.. By Man goes on light but than warms up to the skin and starts to turn into the sex beast that it is known to be! Once it warms up it starts to project and leaves a trail of the gorgeous fragrance behind you.. It also last quite a long time and has a remarkable dry down.. The notes are all so blended well that it is very hard to tell them apart from each other.. I have read all different types of note breakdowns for By but this is what I smell.. When you first spray By Man you get a mix of all the notes that blend together oh so well, lavender, pepper, and nutmeg.. In the opening there is this gorgeous unique “nutty” note that I suspect is the nutmeg but it also could be walnut if it really happens to be part of this fragrance as I have heard.. I never have smelled a nutmeg note quite like this one before, it is really nice.. Now on the tester bottle of By the top is listed as follows, Three Heridones Elixir, Pepper and Nutmeg Leaves.. Once the “nutty” note starts to calm down the fragrance starts to really come together.. The mid consist of Lymph Lifescent, Lavender and Artemesia, and the base consist of Sandalwood, Leather, Gaiacwood, Ambrox, and Amber, and of course there is tobacco in there to.. All these notes blend together to create something that is simply magical.. A gorgeous luxurious powdery fragrance with nuances of all these wonderful notes.. When you wear By you feel like a sex god, like a wild animal! This fragrance smells very high quality, powerful, sensual, and captivating! This is Dolce & Gabbana’s true masterpiece! By Man performs extremely well even all the way into the dry down.. The dry down is simply heavenly and words can not describe it.. I have searched for similar fragrances and have found one some that are similar.. But when you compare them there is something about By that is far superior.. There is something magical in By that sets it apart and makes it smell out of this world! I have yet to find a fragrance designer or niche that can compete with this! D&G ought to be ashamed of themselves for discontinuing this beauty! By makes “The One” smell like cheap dollar store cologne, that is how good it is! I have no idea why this D&G discontinued By Man and By Women, they both are classic masterpieces that would have done very well with time.. I have received compliments from strangers when wearing this and no one can deny how good it smells.. I save By for extremely special occasions, or whenever I feel like treating myself to its glorious scent.. If By was still being produced I would be bathing in it everyday! By Man is my favorite fragrance out of every single one that I have ever sniffed! It is just simply amazing! 10 out of 10!

Rewritten review:
Wow, this is something else!
Dolce & Gabbana Man is a milky, creamy, powdery, sweet, soft scent with awesome longevity power. I would like to place it in the gourmand-genre. The top notes are a party to me: refreshing and soothing at the same time. The base is lots of amber, vanilla (I seem to be the only one who gets vanilla) and a bit pepper. On the skin this scent lasts a day minimum and has a warm and sweet, natural feel to it. On clothes this lasts for at least four days.
The scent coukd be feminin but has an edge to it which makes it more masculin.
8,5/10

On my skin, it smells a lot like Very Valentino for men. Creamy, woody-tobacco combo, a bit sweet and spicy, with a hint of a warm smoke feeling and lavender making it a bit powdery and less heavy. Pure sophistication in a bottle.

A very distinguished scent. I was aghast that this house was capable of producing something like this.
It’s lavender set adrift on a sea of milk, dusted with light spices, bound into leather set into woods with curlicues of tobacco.
Any man who applies this is likely to be mistaken for some Mediterranean sex god-such is it’s effect. Needless to say my male friends won’t wear it near me.
I Just wish I had a bit more foresight back then and bought all of the available stock-It’s getting hard to find now. Such is life…

I first bought this in 1998 and wore it all the time. It is the scent I wore when me and my wife first met. She absolutely looooves this, as almost all females do. It’s baby making juice. It was a beautiful, unique fragrance back then and now that it’s dscontinued it’s even more unique. Head and shoulders above most of the dross that’s released now. I was fortunate to find 2 50ml gift sets for less than $150.
Now I can’t keep my wife off me, I have to use it sparingly because I can’t afford a 4th kid lol
11/10 all around.

It is nice but nothing great tbh, I tested this out yesterday and I strongly feel its very over hyped.
Its a minty lavender mixed with a woody leather base. None the less it is still much better than what you do get from current releases.

Such an incredible scent. I was devastated when I heard this was discontinued. I managed to find an unopened,genuine bottle at a street market in New York a few years ago but it’s all gone now. I still keep the empty bottle to sniff occasionally. I swear I had several people actually approach me in shops and bars etc to ask me what it was. So sad it’s gone
