by Dolce&Gabbana
Dolce & Gabbana The Only One 2 is a sweet, gourmand fragrance characterized by a rich blend of red berries, rose, violet, and coffee, balanced with warm amber and tonka bean notes. It opens with a juicy, slightly synthetic burst of blackberry, pear, and red berries, giving a soft, perfumey sweetness that deepens into a creamy, powdery base with cocoa-like tonka and spicy coffee. The scent is warm, comforting, and indulgent—reminiscent of velvet berry jam, gourmet chocolate, or a sweetly floral evening dress. It performs best in colder weather and holds strong sillage (moderate to strong), making it a standout for nighttime wear, evenings, or cooler seasons. Though the initial notes are bright and inviting, the drydown is dominated by a powdery, slightly sweet floral and gourmand base that some find almost nostalgic, while others find it too sweet or synthetic. It pairs well with colder climates and mature, sensual vibes, though it is not universally appealing.
