by Dolce&Gabbana
The Dolce&Gabbana The One Eau de Parfum is a richly blended, warm, and inviting fragrance that strikes a balance between sweet and spicy notes, making it widely appealing. It opens with a fresh, citrusy burst of grapefruit, coriander, and basil, which quickly mellow into a smooth, aromatic core of cardamom, ginger, and orange blossom. The heart of the scent is deeply rooted in amber, with a subtle, warm tobacco note that lingers throughout. The dry down is warm, sweet, and ambery, evoking a sense of intimacy and sophistication, perfect for evening wear. It's frequently praised as a date night or intimate encounter fragrance, with many users noting its seductive, 'panty-dropping' qualities. While it's universally admired for its flawless scent profile and elegant, modern composition, the fragrance is consistently described as having poor performance and projection. Most users report moderate longevity, with the scent lasting around 4 to 6 hours before fading to a delicate skin scent, and a sapphire-like projection that is faint, intimate, and not far-reaching. Despite these limitations, it remains a favorite among those who appreciate warm, ambery, and tobacco-leaning fragrances, particularly for colder seasons or close-quarters interactions.
