The Only One by Dolce & Gabbana Eau de Parfum For Women, 50ml

Product Information

There's a feeling of honey in it, and something almost incensy, with beautiful white flowers and chewy, fresh coconut. And after it settles you can tell the caramel and patchouli, which is weird and I personally don't think should go together. With the vanilla, it sometimes gives an old kitchen smell vibe (a bit like Pure XS from the same brand). The CREAMINESS - oh my god the creaminess - you cannot ignore how milky and sweet it smells in an aboslutely hypnotizing way, it doesn't sting in the nose like super sweet perfumes do for me, but it calms you and gives you the feeling of sitting in an expensive lounge, wearing a long black dress and a white fluffy fur coat on top. I definitely see the resemblance to Libre Intense upon dry down but not the opening notes and since Libre is my favorite scent, I’m happy.

Not a terrible thing per se' if you like sugar bombs, but here they took sweet and powdery onto another level. Have been on the lookout for something similar but a bit more elevated and long lasting and with Only One Intense I've finally found it! The powder from the violets and iris along with some freshness from the rose remain on my skin for quite a while, some very airy yet sweet nuances from the vanilla and caramel do peak through towards the end of the dry down but a healthy dose of patchouli and the powder from the floral notes help to keep The Only One refined and classy.Please read the full reviews and consider your own needs and preferences before making a purchasing decision. It is a dark scent for the evenings, like a creamier, more powdery, more vanillic/sweeter Crystal Noir (EdP) minus the spices, woods and soapy note. Not floral-pretty, not fruit-pretty, but just a nice unique scent that isn't overly feminine but also not masculine. This is a lovely fragrance that didn’t wow me at first, but the scent bubble it provides is pure class and femininity.

Will not purchase as I am not really into florals, but a very balanced and beautiful scent altogether. Update; it’s like a cross between Crystal Noir (dark white floral-coconut aspect) and Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle (creamy, smooth vanilla aspect). I detest patchouli but if the overall pyramid looks interesting enough and patchouli isn't high up in the notes I might give it a try. I mean, this smells good but smells like every other amber vanilla fragrance :') the only reason I bought a full-sized bottle was because this smells 'real'.I already loved The Only One Intense before this, it's the "eyes-roll-into-the-back-of-my-head" kind of fragrance for me, but now I love it even more. I see why people compare it to Alien, the jasmine here is peeping through barely, but it's weak and nowhere near as impressive as Mugler's Alien. This is just powder, sugar, and more powder, and sugar, layer after layer until a faint - and dizzy at this point - feeble floral note attempts to make its appearance. I wanted this to be more like Black Opium for me, and you can see that is the overall vibe they were going for, but it lacks dimension. The One has been watered down so much I don't even recognise it anymore, so I wanted to try this one instead.

It smelled more like a sultry woman in all black sitting at a cafe with a beautiful bouquet of flowers in front of her whilst sipping straight VERY ROBUST espresso with caramel syrup in it. It has a fruity floral opening and a creamy richness which I assume is the coconut, although it does not have a strong coconut smell to me. The "reminds me of" section for this one is pure nonsense in my opinion, mostly because of the misleading coconut.This one is more creamy - less floral than crystal noir but they’re both white floral-coconut +woody base combos. TOOI has the beautiful creamy coconut and vanilla that I heard so much about, but on my skin the white florals overpower everything else. While its nothing unique or groundbreaking, it does, to me at least, feel classy and elegant with the right amount of sweetness. I get around 10hrs wear out of it, it projects well for the first 5-6 hours before sitting closer to the skin, and sillage is good for the first couple of hours.
