L`eau The One Dolce&Gabbana for women

I hated it.I was seduced but it but after a few weeks its just became to sweet for me. Eventhough it was the l'eau version it was still to suggary for me.

I have a 1.7oz bottle of this for swap that's only been sprayed a few times. If anyone has a similar sized bottle of D&G Rose the One they'd like to exchange, please pm me.

dolce and gabbana the one has been my all time favorite perfume . i recently tried this version the L'eau the one and i love it even more ...its much sweeter than the original version..love it....smell disappears in an hour

Eau the One smells like peach topped with Vanilla ice cream. It is marketed as sophisticated and sexy, but to me, it is just delicious without being typically sweet, plain, safe Vanilla. Eau the one, though an EDT, lasts a couple of hours on me. This almost syrupy scent is heavy on the peach.

Je cherchais un parfum assez fruité et un peu gourmand mais pas trop prononcé, ni nauséeux (comme plusieurs que j'ai essayé).
Ici, le litchi et la pêche sont bien équilibrés avec la vanille. Il est frais et sensuel tout à la fois.


I was looking for a fruity perfume with sweet notes but not too strong or cloying (as many that I've tried). The litchi and the peach here are well balanced with the vanilla. It's fresh and sensual, at the same time.

The first sniff knocked me down.It is heavy,overwhelming,it gives me the headache.The only scent that I can smell is vanilla and it is not what I was hoping for.

This is the Best womans fragrance I know! alone with Viva La Juicy

Your man will LOVE THIS STUFF! take it from a guy!;)

Several times I tried them and EDP. I do not like this vanilla. Is too much of toilet in EDT more than EDP . I′m sorry , perhaps on other skin nicely smells.

It is very much like The One, just a little lighter, perfect for spring. The opening is more refreshing. On my skin I can smell a creamy litchi and a sirupy peach. The vanilla is not overpowering, which is good because i am not a vanilla lover. Well-balanced.
However I prefer the original The One because it has stronger lasting power.

I can understand this scent not being someone's favorite, but to dog on it so badly as some have suggest to me that a few of ya'll ought to see an ENT and have your nose checked out. This scent is floral, and robust, and sweet WITHOUT being overpowering. On the skin, it's soft and feminine, and to be quite blunt, a woman wearing this around me stands a very real chance of getting her neck nibbled. ;) This is my all time favorite woman's perfume.

I must echo siv55 on this one--"L'eau dear!" Maybe I'll add "Oh, L'eau they didn't!" I bought a small sample of this because, fun-loving chlorinated water critter that I am, I was attracted to the "L'eau." I am a sucker for anything that says L'eau, water, H20, Aqua, Acqua, Ocean, etc...despite my tale of woe in seeking an aquatic that works with my body chemistry.

Anyway...I really should have checked the notes on this site first for any actual Aqua in it! There isn't any! And what's worse--when I uncorked the little sample vial (after some difficulty), the screechingly sweet smell that shot out was so overpowering that I couldn't even bring myself to put it on my skin! I recorked it and let my neighbor have it. L'eau, well.

I really like this and to me it favors Allure. Just enough spice and floral. Wonderful

I apologise for this one in advance.

To me, this smelt like a festering wound under a days old plaster. Sorry. That's all I got from it. No, I don't want to go try it again and see if my nose was having an off day, or the scent itself was off, or reinvestigate it when the weathers changed, or anything else. I just don't want to go there again.

All I can say is, L'eau dear!

too sweet, resembles me honeysucles. i bought 50ml bottle and tries to like it, really tried,as i am a fan of sweet perfumes. but today i finally sold it and gladly buy something else :)also too powdery, nothing special

This yummy, gorgeous perfume became one of my signature scents last year.
After receiving a small sample of it, I fell in love with it at first smell :)
It smells very decadent--- like chocolate and oranges in my opinion :)
The staying power is LONG, which is a good thing.
Every time I wear it, someone comments they love what I'm wearing :)

Childhood and cheap children's bubble gums that came with stickers and kids' tattoos. Whenever one feels nostalgic and wants a bubblegum fix, this is the fragrance.

Wonderful scent - just so sweet I can stand, without dislike it. Stays for many hours on my skin. New favourite! The basenote is a little bit powdery and I can also find a small hint of leather and toffee - and they are not includeed in the perfum. Eau de Toilette-version.

Härlig doft som överraskade mig! Öppnar fruktigt sött men det söta djupnar strax ner i en mjukare o varmare ton. Basnoten är aningens pudrig med en hint av läder och kola - de är inte inkluderade i doftnoterna alls.. Sitter länge på huden, 4-5 timmar. Eau de Toilette- versionen

Sugar plum fairies dancing on a cloud of vanilla & cotton! Delicate, sweet, and fruity. Beautiful jasmine and lily make this very desirable. It's sexy, yet innocent with a creamy (amber & moss) dry down, too. There is powerdy finish which I don't mind either.

Although it's an EDT, it holds beautifully on the skin.

It is just as lovely as The One, but every note seems more enhanced and is projected better on me. My fave of the Trio!

Gorgeous perfume.
It´s very elegant, modern, feminine.

The best of trinity The One and Rose the One.

I prefer the original THE ONE, this edition is way too sweet for my taste, I had it but gave it way to my friend.

I like it but it smells a lot like my Guess for Women. I do have to say I get compliments on this. I think it is much better than the original The One which I found to be stifling , too strong.

Es Mucho Mas Sutil Que El Dorado ;D

Just got the sample today, this is now my new crush! OMG it is beautiful.....

Me gusta mucho este perfume es muy glamoroso y sexy.Llevo usandolo cerca de 2 años.
Es mi favoritooooo.

This to me is slightly similar to baby rose by versace from the jeans line. Baby rose has the same sweet but powdery smell but not horrid baby powder like channel No.5 I think they are very similar but that could be just me.

I think I consider L'eau the one as my top perfume. I don't find it as cloying in fact no matter how many sprays I use on me, this will not give me headaches like some of my perfumes. It's easily distinguishable I can recognise the smell quickly whenever someone else is wearing it. This is the best among "the one" series. Although this is an EDT, the lasting power is excellent compared to Rose the one which is an EDP. As I always tell myself this could be the only fragrance I will buy again when the current bottle I have is already used up. <3

I love this fragrance. It is so sexy and it makes me feel beautiful when I wear it. Hubby loves it as well so A++ in my book :)

For those who found the One too strong or "cloying", this One may be The One for you...

It is bascically the same mix only in a slightly lighter concentration. I expected a stripped down watery version (L'Eau is the water) but no sir, this is the same sort of elegant juicy oriental floral with one difference: oakmoss in the drydown that gives it a woody green flavor, that to me is quite nice, but then I like mossy scents in general. The mandarin orange is replaced by the slightly lighter and fresher tangerine, adding a sparkly sweetness and the plum is lighter also, and it has an more airy floral body, but all things considered this is just as solid a scent as the original, just more suited for daytime wear in hotter temperatures-The One Fraiche?, The One Summer?-not really...more like the One Lite!

Sillage: close but good
Longevity: okay
Overall: 3/5

I expected to like this one better than The One , but actually preferred the more opulent original, my fave frag girl and Mom like this better, but they don't really do orientals like I do. The big surprise to me was Rose the One, I liked it better than both the other Ones! It really depends on when you are going to wear them and the temperature, but they're all quite good...

I quite like this one.
When you first spray it on, it's a bit too sharp. But it smooths into something else very quickly. A sweet, slightly powdery scent I can't quite put my finger on. And I can't stop sniffing my wrist.
But it's edt, doesn't last very long.

As with The One (the original), I got a very pleasent, funny, hard to describe, bubblegum-ish sensation at first sniff and, although the middle- and base-notes do nothing for this scent (I mean: it's the same from first sniff till the end), I soon got tired of it and in the end it even got me irritated.

I'm beginning to think that I might as well avoid the modern scents cause this is what always happens when I try these...They get me bored because of the lack of fantasy...
Could these new fumes be an illustration of modern times???
Oh well...

Chicness for the younger crowd who does not want the usual aldehyde or big florals
from the 80's perfect translation for the gen Y girl who also does not want to smell
like baby soft a perfect scent for a twentysomething girl.

the opening is hard to describe' to my skin
the overbearing sweetness of Litchi with
the few second top drydown of tangerine
gives out a soapish texture which i find it a bit overwhelming and interesting
the peach is diluted and barely noticeable brings a bit of a crisp texture to the scent' Lilies with it's delicate petals makes this scent bright and effervescent.

dries the middle note of succulent plum
the basenotes is somewhat hard to detect
mainly because of the dominance of Litchi but i do decent a faint scent of musk but the amber is a bit stronger
also with vanilla with it's powdery dryness are very noticeable for me
this scent is to soapy to detect oakmoss
and vetiver.

the reason i cant bring myself to love this
i mean i like it and i don't hate it
but it's not my favorite because of it's
Sweet and soapy scent of litchi and it's a bit synthetic but still it's still a good perfume but what i love is the flacon elegant clean and refined that
reflects the modern woman.

I was really looking forward to trying this one. I thought it smelled great on the card I sprayed. However, this ended up being really strong on me, even when I only used a little and there wasn't much complexity to the scent. A disappointment.

Is it just me or do I smell something something simular to Instant by Guerlain?

Is it just me or do I smell something something simular to Instant by Guerlain?

This one is not a skinscent..

When I put it on, it smells so sharp, it almost hurts my nose..
But when I smell it around me in the 'air' it smells good and fresh. I wonder why it's a floral oriental, because I think it's very citrussy.. I'm also not a big fan of litchi, but in this one, at least I can stand it.
Just don't sniff it with your nose on your skin the first hour, then it smells to sharp!

I am trying some new "summer" fragrances.
This one was nice, pleasant, powdery, fresh all day on a hot/humid day. No one commented that I smelled good, but I felt like I smelled good. I have a few more days in my sample. I haven't decided whether to purchase it or not. If I do I will hold out for a "gift set"

Very ambitiously named: The One. Do not believe for a second that this really is THE ONE. So many better scents can lay claim to that title!

Thought the fruity top notes were nice but a bit synthetic. I do get the vanilla in the drydown.

A bit restrained bordering on boring. And...no length.

i get compliments on this all the time - especially from men. There is a warmth to it that I love and others notice as well

I really don't know what to say about this one. I can say that I don't like it, it smells odd somehow. There is no vanilla, no fruit. Maybe a little musty lily-of-the-valley. All in all, I'm not impressed.

I disagree that D&G L'EAU THE ONE is "fresher" than THE ONE. L'EAU THE ONE opens rather fruitily but then settles into a somewhat confusing drydown that seems somehow discordant to my nose.

According to the listed notes, the only difference between the original and the flanker (aside, no doubt, from proportions) is that L'EAU THE ONE contains oakmoss, which THE ONE does not. So I infer that it is the oakmoss that makes the drydown of L'EAU THE ONE less appealing than that of THE ONE. As a chypre lover, I am a big fan of oak moss, in the appropriate composition. Here it doesn't seem to work.

This flanker strikes me as a case of fiddling with something that didn't need to be fixed. I definitely prefer the original THE ONE, which seems more coherent and generally more pleasant.

The opening surprised me by the scent of lemon candies, a bit childish and not at all what I expected from L`eau The One. Later on, it develops into sweet but still slightly citrusy vanilla and I can also detect lily of the valley. Not bad if it were a teen fragrance, but for the price tag it has and the name of Dolce & Gabbana - don't think so.

I liked it. Citrusy clean and fresh. Because of the advertisements I was expecting something sweet but this suprised me.

WOW. This is a nice, mellow but crisp/clean fragrance on me. The litchi and peach stay detectable throughout the duration of this fragrance. It never gets completely dominated by any musk or vanilla from the base. The lasting power is EXCELLENT (10 hours and the litchi is STILL there). Since this is rather unpopular in my area, gender-bending this one was EASY. I love it!!!

For me this starts out with a burst of lime, sweet lychee fruit and just a hint of peach that lingers for an hour or two, slowly changing to vanilla and honey/amber with a touch of lychee & soft peach remaining.

Many reviews say it doesn't last. I think it's not that it doesn't last, it's that the dry down lasts much longer than the initial burst and stays much closer to the skin. On me at least the dry down lasted for hours which is really how I started to like it.
You can wear this to bed, to run errands, to work, to go out, summer, winter, you get the idea. It's soft enough to be unoffensive anytime.

Add on ~ I finally got my hands on a mini of The One to compare, and they really are almost identical. L'eau the One is a bit softer but not much.

All I can smell is vanilla and powder. Too warm and powdery for me.

I absolutely adore this scent. I've just purchased a bottle and can't get enough. I will say..as most others have that the lasting power leaves alot to be desired which is a shame. I'll just take it with me and re-apply when need be. It's always fun to spritz lol!! Ok so to describe it I would say it's got top notes of fizzy tropical fruit, and behind that there is a sort of plasticy sweet smell which can only be the amber. This perfume smells like fake sweet plastic when it's drying (In SUCH a good way though, I think it's brilliant). It's VERY similar to the original but it's more...airy..and a bit more fruity. Both perfumes are lovely, I just wish they did an Eau De Parfum of this. (Which is what I thought I was buying, but received an Eau De Toilette :(

Anyway..the drier stage is like a tangy plasticy amber. Gorgeous! It's quite different and I don't think it smells like anything else out there that I've smelled so far anyway.

Dry down on me is VERY ambery which is perfect as I will use straight amber resin frequently!
At first I did not like this perfume but gave it another shot and once the top notes are gone I simply adore it!

Well this was a surprise.I usually don t like dolce&gabbana,but this one is really good and intresting.It has a powdery smell which makes you think of babies and at the same time vanilla makes it very feminine.I just can t stop smelling it!However, its very light and it doen t have lasting power.You have to keep spraying:-(

Like the original, The One, this fragrance is also sweet but more subtly so.

Once again I sense a candy-like sweetness in the opening but this time it's far nicer. L'eau The One is a little similar to Emporio Armani Diamonds with its sweet fruity top notes.

I find L'eau The One to be quite sparkly and refreshing. The lightness really compliments the scent. It's the happier and free-spirited version of The One.

The drydown is mostly vanilla and woods, creamy like the original but no where near as rich and sensual. It's comforting and delicate to say the least.

The lasting strength is so-so which is a little bit of a disappointment however it hasn't deterred my liking for this fragrance. This is definitely my choice out of The One series.

I'm in love with this. I tested this today, and wow i was impressed. It's well composed, great for autumn/winter..i actually thought it'd be more aquatic from looking at it, but its lovely..sweet, fruity, floral and creamy!

i actually love the base notes the most! they smell like a warm honey to me. (mochachino, i saw.. and i can see why someone would smell that:)) but i really wanted this one to last. and i too, think it is more elegant than the original. i even sprayed it on my clothes and cant geit to stay... :( i envy that somehow it stays on you amelie!!!!

L'eau The One is really longlasting, probably you like very much top notes, which evaporate quickly, so you think that the fragrance was weak.
Good staying power on me as well, perhaps even a shade too strong, on my skin smells like a fine sun lotion in combination with a light woody fragrance....I like plum&vanilla part,the original The One is even less intriguing to me, while L'eau opens on a rather elegant way. I like this composition, though not my style.
But certainly tastes are different,it has to do with your body chemistry. Usually fragrant notes we love stayed too short while those less pleasant kept longer than we wanted.

so today i had a bottle of D&G l'eau the one and a bottle of Britney Spears Curious in my purse. i love the smell of the d&g but it literally lasts .2 seconds. I read on a few of these reviews that it lasts a long time. I can douse myself in this and not smell it seconds later. i though maybe it was just me, but i asked others, and they cant smell it either. i dont understand why D&G wouls make a perfume like this. the scent is great, but it has less strength than a body splash. Anyway, i had to put Britney Spears Curious on so i could actually enjoy my scent!

I adore L`eau The One. It opens with fresh litichis that are surprisingly vivd and juicy. Come along romantic lilies and jasmines that go on smoothly before it dries down to a creamy vanilla with an interesting hint of mochachino (result of tangerines and woods??). This is an easy to wear oriental floral that is warm, sweet, and very now.

I tried the scent on a damp and freezing Sunday morning, it magically gave me a lasting happy boost: I felt utterly cozy and blissful whenever I got a whiff of it for the entire day. Must be the hearty vanilla, or the sweet litchi or the friendly hint of roasted coffee... can't quite pin point it, perhaps it's the lovely combination of the lot and I simply can't get enough of it, hallelujah.

A very strange thing happened today. After giving samples of this scent to customers hundreds of times, we had to open a new tester bottle. The first tester smelled like a thin, medicore floral with some vague resinous base and synthetic wood. The new bottle, however, caught me from 10 feet away. It smelled great on the cotton, and called to me a few times throughout the day. Mind you, this is not my type of frag according to the notes. However, at the end of the day, I washed everything off and gave it a test spin. Even better than I had imagined! Something was very different about this bottle-I identified it as almond-it has a lactonic quality that gives roundness, body, stability, and legitimacy to all the other notes. The lilies joined symphonically. The plum and vanilla really dominated, with excellent longevity. I didn't get any of the weird cat pee aroma I often get in unbalanced peach frags. My daughter gets a gourmand vanilla note off me even hours later. I even noted some similarities to Amarige (Givenchy) and Amour Original by Kenzo! Honestly, men were hanging near me in the frozen food aisle!

b.n. these are tester bottles purchased in early 07/09 from a wholesaler.

This one is truly lighter than original The One. Original is quite strong, warm and very sweet.
L'eau The One smells almost the same to The One, but it calms down faster and is more friendly for warm weather (but I think not hot weather, this is more like for cooler summer days due to it's warmth).
I find it nice one, but personally would prefer the original one. At first it reminds original very much and you can think that it's almost the same.
I'm not getting much woods out of it, it's rather very soapy at first too. For me it's more peach (peach jam ;$), jasmine (a very little, not intense one), lily (not dominant either, but blended well), vanilla and a little vetiver. Lasting power is not zero at all and projection is quite good too.

This and the original just do not mix well with me. It's a dry woods fragrance. The oakmoss and vetiver dominate.

Sampled in a magazine and this one really caught my attention. Very nice scent and I am going to purchase this one.

This perfume did not work with my skin:(It smelled very artificial to me & even a bit sour.I cant say what the sour note was because I had a hard time picking out single notes.I normally love the notes that this carries but sadly I couldn't recognized them here.It did last quite a while & was light enough to wear in the hot weather today.I can not compare this to the EDP because I fail to remember it exactly but from what I do remember this is less sweet,less fruity then the original.

L'eau The One smells like The One, just a hint lighter. i can not tell a huge difference. It's still great!

I love how this fragrance lingers. :)

This is great just like the original perfume.I don't have the original one now to compare them,but as I remember,the one has stronger and warmer scent than l'eau the one.in return this one is milder and more suitable for day wear.
if you like the mild floral scents in a modern way which are a bit powdery,this is the ONE for you.
I don't agree the categorization of oriental floral,to me it's just floral with some sweet hints of fruits at the first sniff.
between the middle notes,the strongest scene is lily and it's very feminine and incredible in this one.
I don't get any oakmoss after an hour.but it's a little bitter and woodsy,but still nice,like it's inviting you to dance.
after all,I should confess I like the bottle of the original more.this transparent bottle may make you think it's very light and "leger",but it's very similar to the original fragrance.both excellent.

this smells awful. Its smells like a person with body odor who threw on some baby powder and fruity body spray to cover it up. Too strong. not one nice thing to say about this. Gives me a headache too.

It does smell good. The vanilla is very potent in this perfume which I like. However, it does have a powdery smell which turns me off.

I had this, but I returned it. NOW I want it again. It smells REALLY good. Kinda fruity, but in a more grown up way than most scents. It lasts really long on me, so that's a plus!

I got a sample of this and think its ok but not knock off my chair luscious. Bit powdery for me plus I think it reminds me a bit of a fabric conditioner type smell. Weird...maybe that's just me!

It is nice smelling, reminds me a little bit of bubble-gum, but not too sweet. Unfortunately it is not remarkable at all( it doesn't deserve its name), you can barely feel it on yourself, and the lasting power is zero.

i smelled it, and for me its just the same like the original

This one smells good but boring and its not long lasting at all!!!.... I would never buy this one!

i think i will love this one, i dont really like the original, but one problem with that is the lack of freshness, that i guess this wont miss.
