Rose The One Dolce&Gabbana for women

I love the smell of fresh roses and this is just the opposite, but it's well done. Rose packed into something warm, as if wrapped around you...a very pleasant fragrance, like it.The One was too heavy, this is much much better, imo. And I find here even the vanilla attractive, and it says a lot because I usually avoid vanilla. Beautiful dry-down.

this smells just like the other The Ones but with a faint rose note, its pretty much I much more prefer the L'eau The One over them all its just a much more beautiful, cozy scent.

To me not vintage at all, rather a modern touch to a rose scent, with a good dose of creamy musk . Not very different from L'Eau which I own, it is lovely, pretty, a bit sexy, and great lasting power. It smells rich, and has a certain touch of sophistication.

This one to my nose is not similar to the original one .. this is smells as dried roses leaves ..

Having the vintage mood ,, I imagine a pride with a vintage dress wearing this, or maybe a mam or grandma !

Not for me ..

This is another I wouldn't even have given a chance to a couple of months ago, but thanks to my exposure to various fragrances etc...I have realized that it isn't the rose scent that I object to, but the heavy vanilla scent that goes along with it most of the time. So I really like this one, to me this is a fresh rose scent, more green than sweet and no vanilla to me, I know that the notes and accords say otherwise.

One of th best women fragrance i ever smelled...

Was looking for my review in my first avatar. It was listed as my trademark scent. This is an exclusive scent. Expensive here in Trinidad/Tobago. It last long and is not overpowering.

An Update! :

Yeayyyy! I just bought this perfume yesterday and i think it's worth the penny! It's quite expensive in Malaysia here. This perfume cost RM 320 and i have to wear cautiously because im not rich. LOL! :) I'm not rich, just an average woman who loves branded perfumes.

This perfume smells better than the original the one. This perfume is romantic, soft, feminine and slightly powdery and i feel like a girly girl when i'm wearing this perfume. The staying power is just okay. I estimate 5 hours on my shirt and i have to re-applied again but i think its okay because i really love the smell! JUST BEAUTIFUL.

I got tried to smell the original D&C the one and please don't get mad for those who love the original D&C okay? This is just my opinion and my opinion could be wrong =) I think the original 'the one' smell too strong and too woodsy. And i can't detect any fruity notes in there. And i think the original the one more suits to beautiful, mature and classy woman. It do smells expensive but just not for me. =]

@pollyjean23 : Alright! and thank you for your response! ;)

@Lovable Amy - You should be able to get some Fragranticans' opinions on these two fragrances in the forum section of the website. To get there, click "Club" at the top of the webpage, underneath the Fragrantica logo.

Can someone please tell me which one smells better?
Dolce Gabbana The one (Original) Or Rose the one?

I think it says alot about a fragrance when you go out and buy it again for a second time and a third time. Rose the one is without a doubt my favourite Dolce & Gabbana fragrance that I've purchased so far. While the original; The One fragrance was rich and heavy with Vanilla, Rose the One is a more innocent and feminine option for those who want to be taken over by a blossoming rose and sweet delicious Litchi.

The burst of Rose the One is thanks to the beautiful Rose, Litchi and the Squeezed Juices of a Grapefruit. Peony, Mandarin and the juice of Blackcurrants move in as well to create a wonderful first few hours of wearing. It is in some ways reminiscent of the original; The One, it seems to carry on a consistency but the Rose in this fragrance and the fruits give it a more summery approach. The sort of fragrance You'd wear on the beach or perhaps at cocktails by the beach with your girlfriends.

I think if you love the original; The One, then You'll definetly be able to appreciate the Beautiful Rosier version that you'll find here in Rose the One. It projects very well but it doesn't seem to last as long as; The One. Which is a shame because it's not the cheapest thing on the market. Because of this I only purchased myself a 30ml bottle of the fragrance, but if you're going to purchase this purely based off its initial scent then do it. Its simply wonderful.

This is exactly what the name implies. Rose scent + The One. The composition is identical to the original The One and smells like The One mixed with a blend of soft roses. The initial spray is noticeably rose, but after a few min a few other notes come into play such as the vanilla, lychee, and floral notes. This is a very sophisticated scent, yet its light and non offensive like some other rose type fragrances. It might however be too light for some likings. It doesn't last particularly long however, if you like a nice light sophisticated scent it would work for you. Perfect for spring or summer, a luncheon on the weekend, or brunch at the country club. Very nicely done.

This is very comparable to Ralph Lauren Romance, and Vera Wang Truly Pink

the smell screams beautiful and sophisticated. the first time i smelled it I envisioned a classy woman who is not demanding attention. naturally beautiful without being overbearing or repulsive. I really love it except for the fact that it doesn't last long. one hour tops! so disappointed. a bottle is not exactly cheap so i expected more.

Take The One... add rose! I still get the vanilla, litchi, and citrus of The One, mostly... with just a tiny HINT of added femininity, which I assume is the addition of rose. It's really hard to pick rose out from this one, actually. Not bad, but I would take "rose" out of the name... gives the wrong impression.

A gorgeous, sweet elegant Rose!!!

I usually don't go for florals like this, but this is a pretty, warm, juicy rose.

Very fresh thanks to the citrus, but not tart....just right!! Perfect for warmer weather, or anytime really.

The ambrette/sandalwood/vanilla really makes it interesting & deep. I usually find that rose scents feel watery, even if they are strong. This beauty has no such problem!

very floral, fresh scent, for every occasion. you have to watch out for not applying too much of it on your skin, cause then you might feel a bit dizzy, cause the smell is so overwhelming and strong (at some point). I lkie it very much, but it is not my favourite. I prefer other floral scents, although this ine is a masterpiece of d&g :)

I love the smell so much. It's a very rose floral scent, very fresh and not too sweet. After smelling it for the first time I ordered a large bottle but after using it for a while I must say that it's not very long lasting, on my skin it lasts only about 2 hours. Very sad, the scent itself is gorgeous.

Fairly sweet, pure rose on application. It dries down to a very feminine, powdery and fresh scent after an hour or so. It's a nice scent but nothing overly remarkable.

I love this perfume! It's mature, but not "old lady ish". It smells really classy too. Great for daytime or nighttime.

I LOVE THIS SMELLS AMAZING, IT WAS PRICEY BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT, THIS WOULD BE A SEXY NIGHT OUT SCENT! DEFINITELY BEAUTIFUL AND ATTENTION GRABBING!
THIS IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE APART OF MY COLLECTION

I did not expect anything when just smelled it.. But any time I wear it I get compliments from men around))) so it is perfect perfume)))

yes this smells excactly like pure roses
noticible too

but i only like the original the one wich is warm and sensual

this one is very different fresh floral and a bit girly and teen for my taste

I just LooooOOOoOOoOoooOOOoooOVe This one on women when they are with me and i am drunk and the wibe is hitting me every now and then when in a club i am getting towards the last stages of a long party (x) ! just can't describe that moment with words! when i am talking in the ears of a lady and it keeps turning me ON and ON .... PURE LUST ...( yeah the girl should be seductive to..hihi...10/10

I tested this one and I'm pleased with the scent.
I smell the soft scent of the roses thats not over powering like a lot of Rose scents.
I definitely want to add this one to my collection one day for sure :):)

the top is all rosses and i think too heavy. however the drydown on my skin is exactly like the original the one, creamy and powdery. i would prefer the original.. chloe is a better rosey scent for my taste..

Oh, I love this -- it's a wonderfully heady, rich, musky rose, but not overblown, not too heavy. Those dancing hints of tart black currant and grapefruit add great balance and freshness. Last and lasts on my skin (another reason to love it!. Drydown is smooth and luscious lily, peony, and ambrette, ending very warm with the sandalwood and vanilla. And thru it all that divine rose! All together a magnificent fragrance.

This is "the one" for me. It has a delicate natural rose not killer stink bomb fake rose. It also has a sophisticated smell to it that would be good on mature as well as young women. It would be the thing to wear with a black dress and would be very ladylike.

It's not overpowering but very present and noticable still. Just like a sexy woman would be while still acting like a lady.

I LOVE this! Love this as well the original 'The One'! I love this "Series". <3

How lovely! I put off trying this out because I own the original and was not entirely wowed by it. But this is beautiful! A rose for those who do not like roses.

Typically, when I think of rose in perfumes I imagine the rose found in fragrances such as YSL Paris or Jean Patou Joy. A more rounded and mature rose, a little like potpourri. Its round and red and voluptuous, and its been around for a long time. This is not that rose.

If you've ever smelled fresh roses from your own or someone else's garden you'll know that real roses don't smell the way perfumists interperate them. They're fresh and soft and sweet, almost delicate in a way. I feel that that was what they were trying to capture here.

The lychee goes far in helping this interpretation, lending that freshness and delicate sweetness. I love lychee, and if you do as well then this is for you as it smells dominately of lychee and lily.

LOVE this perfume.
its my favorite. its mature without being grandma and just enough sweetness for a woman not a girl. extremely feminine. you really feel like a woman in this. very romantic and not too serious.

I love this perfume and I never thought I'd say that about a rose fragrance. Fo me rose perfumes often create visions of my 70-year-old aunts. But Dolce's Rose The One is not an old-fashioned rose; It's youthful and fresh take on a classic perfume scent. The citrus notes brighten up the rose heart and keep it interesting. And while the perfume's light it's not boring. However, don't expect anything too complicated when you use it. I agree with other reviewers that Rose the One isn't dramatically different or cutting edge. But who wants "cutting edge" all the time? Sometimes, you just want to smell pretty. Reach for Rose The One when you do!

It literally smells like a warm sunlit rose garden. Reminds you of pale roses and that fresh earth smell.

It smells like heaven on my sister and she even has a difficult skin chemistry to match perfumes to.
As a whole, it's a beautiful perfume, fun, romantic, fresh, understated.
whenever I smell it, it reminds me of Brontë novels or the Secret Garden, for some reason.

i liked it when i smelled it but i am looking for a more warm insence kind of rose perfume.with patchouli in it or something warm if there is somebody who can help me please mail me...thanx!!!

This is a very pretty scent. It is a soft rose scent that isn't "old lady" at all. I will admit on tester paper it stinks. It is too strong and smells too much of alcohol. But on skin or clothes it is light, pretty floral and lovely. I love it. The bottle is a pretty rose gold/blush color and very feminine.

Similar with guess pink but more deep.
This & guess pink are my favorite
Rose sweet
Silage good

Becoming one of my favorite perfumes.

Light and fresh.

The Rose Is just perfect not to heavy - Like the name Rose really is the One here not getting buried by the other notes .

I read it doesnt last very well for some .Fortunately I dont have that problem since i like it so much.

The problem I do have , is much as i like it - it is some what pricey for my budget .
I am going to have to make my bottle last as long as i possibly can :)
and request it as birthday-anniversary gifts etc

My no-brainer scent, something I wear when I can't decide what to wear but I want to smell nice. Easy to wear, suitable for all occasions, but not very original or interesting. pretty, though, and that makes me reach for it over and over again. I've almost finished my 50ml bottle, which is rare to me since my perfume collection has hitted 3-digits long time ago, but I don't think I will repurchase. There are so many other soft, pretty, easy-to-wear florals to stick just with this. I get mainly rose and lychee on a soft, fluffy, sweet musky base.

This is seriously a ROSE scent, feminine and elegance.

Este perfume no acaba de encajar conmigo. No me desagrada pero la encuentro con demasiado olor a talco y dura poco sobre mi piel. Su aroma a rosas es suave, pero a esta fragancia le falta un poco de chispa para mi gusto.

***

This perfume does not quite fit me. Do not bother me too much but I find the smell of talc and is short on my skin. The aroma of roses is easy, but this fragrance is lacking a little sparkle to my taste.

/ /@ Vincy_Gal, I agree!! (PS--this is added to my wish list xoxox) I'm really suprised that I like this one considering how much I dislike the regular The One which on me smells like mouldering peaches doused in kerosene. Rose the one is really pretty and very rosey. It lasts pretty long on me too.

Soft and powdery. The rose scent is not overpowering at all, which is a good thing as too much rose can be somewhat ''old lady''. Probably a good perfume to wear to work.

better than the one,but less long lasting and because of that i bought the one.this smell is more powder than original.

I was lucky to be in Milan when this first launched back in 2009, so the samples were abundant and the promos were too tempting. Having a sweet tooth when it comes to perfumes, i.e. vanilla/amber kinda gal, i wasn't attracted to this at first. However this hot Italian SA approached me with an offer i cant refuse (cliche, i know) but it was 30% off with a small bottle of lotion, and my husband is a already a fan of light florals (think, Tous Gold) so i said why not! i snatched a big bottle and the lotion and started wearing it just for the sake of changing, sometimes layered with some sweeter vanilla based perfume oils, and something weird started happening; many many many of my colleagues kept telling me wow you smell so good! it was weird, even a stranger at a spa once told me that.. i thought wow.. this must be a crowd pleaser!

I personally didn't detect the creamy/fruity/vanilla note everyone here seems to be smelling, that's why i like reading reviews on Fragrantica, but i'll keep a nose/eye on these next time i wear it..
All i smell is rose with some kind of a... i don't know maybe another flower i don't know that smells like baby lotion?... and it's slightly powdery, which i like. I'll definitely repurchase since it's so refreshingly light and the staying power is great.

Its a good smell, inoffensive, soft and sweet but not sickly sweet. The fruity rose tones are very pleasant but it doesn't last very long. I have to keep a bottle at hand and top up all day to have the desired lasting effect. It's fresh and summery and has a lovely dry down. Just a pity about the silliage.

It's just an opinion n.hidayah. Just think what a boring world it would be if everybody liked everything ... I happen not to like any of these. Why should that afford your disdain?

"Rose" the one? Rose where? 'Lily of the Valley the one' ... perhaps ... if only it wasn't so screechy! A tumbling mess of horrible synthetic notes that actualy made me sneeze! No fragrance has EVER done that to me. This flanker is as ill conceived as L'Eau ... and only just possibly worse than the original. What a long way D&G have fallen into mass market consumerism from the days of their original creation. This 'fragrance' should have been destroyed on the blotter and never made it into production. Scrubworthy ...at least on me! UGH!!!

Very nice fruity and creamy fragrance but I couldn't detect the rose...
It's fine with me if they name it Rose because of the juice color but not the notes !
Rose the One is pretty similar to Guess Seductive especially at the dry down, just fruitier.

I liked this because it wasnt so POW-hit-you-in-the-face rosey. I have Benefits Maybe Baby and tried to love it for the rose but sadly I cant. I know it was supposed to be vintagey but they couldnt quite clear the old lady arena. I think D&G was more what I had been hoping for in that scent, but then I suppose you get what you pay for...Anyway I love the light and powdery quality of this perume. Burberry Beat has much the same thing going on, at least to me. Something ephemeral about these scents that I love.

I got my bottle as a result of impulse buy. I gave mine away. The reason why I DIDN'T LOVE/LIKE it is because I'm not a fan of roses. I am into floral fragrances but, just, not roses. Actually, it's probably because my grandmother loves this kind of fragrance and as a kid, i remember her on Sundays wearing this type of smell when going to church. So the result is I've unintentionally associated this scent to old people. It's quite mature and too sensual. It also screams: 'SERIOUS' to me. I don't think, at 21 y/o, im quite there yet. It's not a horrible scent though, I wore it a few times.

I got this as a sample and thought that it would be interesting to try but on me it is a very faint smell of roses and then it dies completely to nothing.

Not much lasting power at all, which isn't bad. If you like the smell of roses and very faint feminine fragrances then this will definitely be up your alley.

when I purchased this I was looking for a beautiful modern not overly complex rose scent, thsi was perfect, it wasn't too simple, just perfect! Very well done, I believe this is a better version from the original 'the one' for women. Would definently purchase again, sadly I wen t through it quickly. The lasting time is fair to good, I just tended to over spray this one, it smells that good :)

I like it. It's similar to the classic - The One - in the opening, with a rose scent. I don't like rose in perfumes, there are a few exceptions and this is one of them. Rose here is light, soft and very similar to the true rose. The smell is less sweet than the classic. I think I'd be wearing it from time to time. The bottle is classy.

Mmmm...yes, very nice, very light and feminine, everyone who likes the smell of roses will love this one. I like it especially because it's not too sweet, even though very floral, but no way a perfume which gives you headache...light, fresh, beautiful.

This fragrance is a floral bouquet, pure and simple. It's roses all the way down and while I think it's too strong for every day wear, it's one I'll put on for special occasions. The dry-down notes are really gorgeous, too. It's a very romantic, feminine scent but it dries down to almost nothing, so the overwhelming rose-lily notes don't choke the guy you want to get close to! On me, it doesn't have the lasting power that I wish it did. After an hour or two all I get is a very faint lily and musk, like I'd been in a garden and brushed against the flowers.

This is probably one of the only true florals I'd consider buying again, even though it doesn't last - the faint notes it leaves behind are really intoxicating!

If only it could keep the purity of that initial revelation of rose, it would be a wonderful perfume !!

This is so so lovely. i wasent shure i would like this one . lately i havent found anything good in rose scent, but this one is different. so soft ,crisp. clear.like rose petals just after the rain. crisp and fresh.
the vanilla and frut especily the litchi is prominant in this one . makes it sweet but not sticky. it goes just right whit the rose and vanilla. For thouse off you like me who have tryed the original The One and are not shure. they are to me alike in the vanilla base note , But added whit the Rose this becomes a real treasure.
I feel clean and fresh, sexy and lady like in this .
Long lasting, this is a mood lifter for me:)

Adorable! And oh, so charming! Gave it a try today, and I'm happy I did - it's so warm and pretty.

That said I also have to admit that usually I'm not a big fan of rose scents, simply because on my skin they tend to turn too sweet and overpowering. But this one doesn't seem to have that side effect!!! :)

So Rose the One will be one of my future (evening) perfumes for sure.

If your looking for a TRUE rose than obviously this fragrance like many other fragrances is not for you. You might want to try pure rose oils, or even slightly mixed rose oils, those smell like Heavenly roses indeed! But this is a great scent nonetheless. Plenty of rose with a dash of fruit smell, a little typical smelling especially if ur like me and live in NY but who cares! Sometimes what the majority agrees on is ok! :-) Very feminine. But not strong 1940's era woman sitting next to a bar sexy, its more like 1940's french woman powdering her face at her vanity in front of a mirror in a lacey room sexy, or victoria secret angel sexy. Good everyday fragrance
8/10

The initial burst of rose is fantastic, and so rare to find in such purity in a perfume!

But unfortunately, that wears off rather quickly and dries down to something that smells a bit dank and putrid, I hate to say.

Then after a few hours, it settles into the skin and gives of a very mild milky glow, which is not unpleasant, but still has just a hint of something slightly overripe.

If only it could keep the purity of that initial revelation of rose, it would be a wonderful perfume.

"O Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:

Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy."

I reviewed this a few months ago but have to add that I love Rose the One more now than when I first got it and I thought it was pretty great then. I've been wearing it so much over the summer (day and night) and am still amazed at how gorgeous and versatile it is with its combination of light, fresh, dewy flowers and musky vanilla creaminess. Can't stop reaching for the bottle for a sniff of this almost euphoric potion even on the days I'm wearing a different perfume. A definite repurchase when it runs out, but I'm so glad I got the 50ml size because I'm going to need it! Lovely stuff.

i love this perfume so much. however it doesn't last long :-(

I've already reviewed this fragrance, however I just wanted to add something. I can't stand rose scents, but I have realised that it is Bulgarian rose which has been used in here. Bulgarian rose is different from other rose types in the sense that it almost smells (as treenhe stated below) like a "dirty rose". That is exactly what Bulgarian rose smells like. If roses could sweat, that is how they would smell!! It's almost like combining rose with freesia. It's that almost dirty scent. I love it, it's just beautiful. And the grapefruit compliments it very well, making this scent quite marvelous.

Alot of my friends look at me like a crazy person whenever i proclaim that Rose the One is my favourite Rose-based perfume ever. This is beautiful in its own unique and enigmatic way. The sexiness of this scent is what really draws me and i like the fact that it shares many of the same characteristics as the Original "The One" fragrance which is another favourite of mine. I think if i were straight and i had a girlfriend who wore this, she'd need a stick to keep me away from having my way with her. Not to approach into crude territory but there as an edible-ness (is that a word?) about Rose the one. The freshness of the fruit balanced with the Burst and innocence of the Rose and then that Creamy ozzing vanilla pulling at my senses almost drowning me (and i mean drowning in the best possible sense). I like to wear this on occasion. Maybe when i'm out with my mates or if i'm home alone reading a good book. I honestly have never smelt anything like Rose the One before and i'm glad because I bought 3 bottles of this and its probably the best thing i've done for myself in ages.

i'm not a huge rose fan but i thought i would give it a try as i had received a sample. the beginning is sharp and recognisably rose with almost a watery quality to it. it then turns a bit heady and suffocating like a pungent air freshener on a boiling hot day. the scent itself is nice enough but it's just a little overwhelming for me. when it calms down further, it is flooded with musk so that what was a nice watery-ness suddenly becomes an almost 'dirty' rose scent. i don't get any other notes than rose and musk all the way through. suddenly, *poof*! it's gone, without even a 'by your leave'....almost as if i'd scrubbed it off. if i loved this scent and had paid what i imagine is a high price tag, i would be extremely brassed off that it disappeared so quickly.

This one is so-so: the opening is the best part, and that is the only time I really smell the rose (just the first hour or two). Then it becomes just plain The One, plus a lot of peony which is too sweet for me. I would have liked this better if there were more ROSE, less The One, and no peony.

Lasting power isn't great--maybe 4 hours, and it fades fast. Good for a hot day, if you can handle the sweetness. Good for peony lovers. They should have called it Peony The One.

I'm not a Dolce and Gabbana's fan or even rose notes, but I really liked this perfume from the very first time I did smell it.
Is a very feminine, longlasting, clean, and fresh scent.
Great head, heart and base notes, nothing boring, overwhelmed or annoying at all.

really love this perfume.
best of roses.. soft, not too strong...classy, elegant
love the bottle too.

but its so expensive:(

Received some samples yesterday. This does somewhat remind me of a cross between the dry down smell of Stella in Two Peony (which I also own and love) and the original The One by Dolce and Gabbana (also own this). I quite like it, very nice anytime perfume but it doesn't seem to hold very well. Still, I wouldn't mind a bottle of it, if it weren't so expensive!!

A beautiful soft and romantic rose scent. It definitely seems like a "rose" version of The One, even though they don't really smell the same. They both have that soft, quiet feel, perhaps from the litchi.

What I like about Rose The One is that it is a light, fresh rose scent, whereas other rose scents I like (i.e. Very Irresistible Sensual or Burberry Brit Red) are more spicy and intense. I would describe it as a sweet, juicy, almost watery rose scent. A perfect everyday or office fragrance. As with The One, it doesn't have the best lasting power or sillage, but it is really pretty. The bottle is also really beautiful with it's heavy glass and lid.

Although classified as a floral I would have to say it's a floral fruity. It starts with an explosion of fruit, grapefruit being dominant. This opening is fresh and sparkling but unfortunately does not last long. Peony shows up in the heart and takes over. It is a very strong and aggressive peony, rough and a bit raw. Roses finally show up in the drydown and they're lovely -- soft and silky and utterly feminine. They float under the peonies but can't overcome them. If you like peonies this one was made for you.

i have dozens of perfume and i have never finished any of the bottles except this. for me it smells so elegant and classic. u would feel like a high class girl when u r in this. unfortunately the lasting power is dissappointing. thats the only flaw it has :-(

Initial spray was delightful. I enjoyed the soft opening wafts of citrus and black current, then the rose, lily, and peony swirling up in a lovely accord of tender florals. Then....horror. Something awful happened in the drydown. The drydown on me, for me, was literally sickening. Something in this formulation turned so unbelievably foul it actually started to make me nauseous and I had to go wash it off after 20 minutes and stop evaluating it. It was like Jeckyl and Hyde on me. The difference between the opening and the drydown was so extreme. Bizarre. I was sad since I liked the opening so much.

Its nice to me on tester paper and this smells good on my friend. However for some reason it did not last and faded on me. I like the one cologne on my husband.

This is one of my favorite perfumes. It really smells so beautiful. In my opinion this is the best of all the one perfumes. I always get compliments when I wear this beautiful rose.

I think it's my fave fragrance now! I use it every day.
Firstly it's fresh and delicious(grapefruit and rose). After it becomes soft, girly and attractive(peony, lilly)! Totally love it!)

I’ve sampled 2ml.

This is lighter and softer version of the original The One, only with some rose and sourish fruits introduced. I still prefer the original one which smells like a bouquet of Real Pink Lily. Every time I pass by the front desk of my office, I’m always captured by the scent coming from the Liles in the vase, which smells exactly like the original The One that I have. Deep Deep Pink Lily!

Ok, back to talk about Rose the One, to my nose, it lacks some originality and uniqueness, just a simple variation of the former best seller. Though a lot people may say Rose the One is also a commercial success, but personally I feel it’s merely a common floral-fruity one which can be found here and there, sorry if I've hurt someone's feelings. Still vote for the original, which is in my top 5.

This really is one to try. It's so fascinating!! Out of the bottle it smells fruity & slightly floral. I can smell the grapefruit & blackcurrant as well as some floral notes.

However, this perfume definitely changes upon the dry-down. It always starts out citrus-y with the fruits I listed above. But then it begins to change & it smells different on everyone. On my sister it smells like smoky, musky rose, whereas on me it smells like sweet lytchee & caramel. However, when my sister smells it on me she says it smells citrus-y & floral. It really does smell different on everyone & to everyone. This is one you definitely need to try.

I first smelled D&G The One Series on a coworker. She wore L’eau The One and I absolutely loved it. I was set on wanting to have it in my collection. However, after I tested Rose The One I changed my mind! (I’m glad I tested this before I purchased L’eau!)

Rose The One is beautiful. The soft rose is very elegant which could make it a great evening scent. And yet there is a juicy and sweet note that make it perfect as an everyday wear. I really love the mixture of sandalwood, musk and vanilla at the heart. When I wear Rose The One, I often times feel both sexy and innocent at the same time :) I think two sprays is perfect on my skin and seems to last the whole day.

good but nothing special

Smells nice, but nothing special. On my skin it smells very floral and verry vanilla.

I expected more rose scent in a perfume called "rose the one". Where are the roses here?

I regret wasting money on this perfume. I can barely smell it after 5 minutes and neither can anyone else. It's far too light.

If it had more staying power it would be a much better perfume.

Rose the One is delicate and soft but also manages to be warm and exotic. Womanly, but not girly - sophisticated, but not serious.

The notes in this are, to me, very natural as the top notes smell of real fresh mandarin, grapefruit, lemon (not listed but I can smell it) and the unmistakable rose scent you only get when you smell a single dewy garden rose up close. As soon as the fragrance starts to dry the divine heady lily note develops along with beautiful peony, and the grapefruit, along with the rose, is still there but more faintly when the lily remains centre stage, joined by the gorgeous earthy-sweet vanilla and sandalwood. It's not raw sexuality and it's not so strong it'll last all day (though a good few hours on me) but it is an elegant scent with lots of different classy and slightly addictive elements to it and it has a calming, relaxing quality. Even as it's wearing off I get a delightful subtle waft of woody lily-vanilla as it seems to smoulder on warm skin, making it ideal for summer. The warm woody notes would also go brilliantly with the fading heat of early autumn.

All in all, I find Rose the One a unique fruity-floral as I get none of the tart berry notes mentioned and the citrus fruits give a freshness to the blend, which I've never smelt before on a warm woody vanilla base. I don't find the sharper and warmer notes clash either as all the notes unfold one by one, overlapping into the next, and by the time the vanilla comes in the citrus notes have faded and it seems appropriate that it then progresses to a woody floral-vanilla scent.

Finally, I adore the bottle as it's like a block of ice topped with a rose gold bar. Very luxurious yet understated which compliments the fragrance perfectly.

This should've been called "Rose Water~The Watered-Down One". I was always skeptical about trying this perfume and unfortunately my curiosity got the better of me and I ended up buying this flanker. The original was so gorgeous and I guess I wanted this one to be as well but it's performance on my skin was a huge let down. It's opening smells like a weird combination of stale grapefruits and pink roses drowning in a bowl of water. It's unmistakably funky. Then it kind of mellows out and its dry down smells exactly like the original "The One." It's really pleasant as this stage but boy is it ever flighty. I tested the original "The One" on my right wrist and "Rose The One" on my left wrist and went to bed last night. When I woke up the next day as I expected, I could still smell the original "The One" on my right wrist while "Rose The One" was nowhere to be found. There's not really anything special about Rose but it's drydown. Funky fruits, rose water and a flighty presence......this one won't be in my possession for long. I might be in the minority when I say this, but there's just nothing sexy or beautiful about it. Such a disappoinment.

when the sales lady at duty free sprayed this on my wrist my first impression was I have to own it, then sniff sniff sniff few more seconds gone, the dry down becomes just like an ordinary soap in the market. Anyway, I will just reapply when needed; I thought. Then found my self at the counter and happily bought it. I just love the smell of the first spritz hoping it just last long...very similar scent with Ralph Lauren Glamorous.
This is really a nice perfume if you want to smell feminine or depending on your girly mood but not for signature scent thing, not a kind of perfume that you will stick to it, definitely will not lingers to people mind with whom you have close contact with.

copy of The one but in rose scent ... really "rose the one", lovely but not the best I think flora by Gucci is better than rose the one or maybe very close to flora.

IMO, more complex than first "The One". In this,the sweet of the other version(For me, likes a single note perfume: sweet, sweet, sweet) mix with the rose and smells more interesting. The rose gains more prominence and becomes a sweet floral with it on the top. The "sugar" harmonizes the composition.
On me:

Sillage: mid/good
Longevity: good, but for a EDP it really sucks (5h+)

Edit:
The dry-down is like pure musk on me. Now I don`t think this is so fabulous.

I like it okay. Immediately I smell roses. I have had it on now for 5 hours, and it is still there on my arms, but it's close to my skin. Even after just an hour, a friend could not smell it until he got a few inches from my arm. It lasts a while, but it stays close. Not overpowering. I go back and forth with this one. I like it more now after the dry down, it's more woody, a slight floral with a tad bit of sweetness to it -- the vanilla, I guess. If this smell that I am getting after the dry down would have been throughout, I'd love it.

Delicate floral, fresh, young and cute with a fun departure from black currant and grapefruit that distinguishes it from other flowers of the same style based on delicated roses and peonies.

I stand this at an intermediate step between baby doll, R.O is in my opinion more refined, and Chloe, something classical , less guirly than The One Rose.

It's a nice option for those who like to use this type of perfume, but it is not remarkable in my opinion.

Although I like it ,but not very innovative.

When I was a kid artificial flowers were just becoming popular. One of the things the manufacturers did to make them more "real" was to include a capsule of scented oil that was supposed to make them smell real. That's what this perfume makes me think of. The initial opening of the juice has a nice bright grapefruit and a good rose. Unfortunately as soon as the grapefruit fades the scent takes on an artificial note that never goes away, finally fading to a nondescript floral with, perhaps, a dash of cinnamon. It's a shame when there are so many truly good rose perfumes out there that shelf space is being wasted on this.

Sillage 1-2 ft
Persistence: poor for a rose scent, 1-2 hours
Fabulosity: Malibu Barbie
Price to value ratio: poor
4/10

I love this. I was given a sample vial and will be buying the big bottle soon.
I'm certainly not getting the "sour/bitter/acrid" notes that some reviewers have mentioned. On me this is sweet, delicate and floral. Womanly but not old lady.
I also have The One original version and although they are surely related, they are very different, on my skin anyway.
I suspected before I tried it that this may be a bit cloying, but no, the rose is cool. I believe it is the fruit that makes it so, lychee and grapefruit are cold fruits to me, not warm like berries or pineapple, I don't get the blackcurrant at all here. And the longevity is OK, not great but good enough, I get several hours from this.

on my skin this is Rose, I love it but it simply vanishes on me, I love it in the bottle, cant smell it at all on my skin... shame

I had some expectations about this but it's just so drowned in patchouli you can hardly tel even the rose... other flowers, useless to say, they all mingle in the avalanche of pathouli and they form a undistinguishable sick and thick syrup... coming to get ya. :)
Why so much patchouli in most of the recent frags?!...

i had high hopes for this - but disappointed not nice.

I first tried this while on a trip to Paris, and just loved it, I was walking around the city and kept smelling my wrist, loved the roses(that's all I could smell). I bought it and still like it but the more I wear it the more grapefruit/litchi it feels to me, the roses are there but overpowered by the fruits. For me it works if I don't wear 2-3 days in a row and don't get used to it, then the roses are alive(strange,I know)

Just got a sample today and yes it's feminine, floral and refreshing but I feel like after wearing it couple of times smell gets boring and I want to move on..Not for me at least

I want rose the one. Not a big fan of rose but i love the different combination of notes in this perfume. I will be purchasing it soon. Gotta have it!!!!!!!

I tested this recently with the intention of buying. I didn't however, because on my skin it is pretty BUT
(to me) it smells identical to 'Scarlett by Cacharel' - just a lighter version. I already own the latter so no need.

Sensuous, romantic and feminine. I so wish it was a tiny little bit more intense and lasted longer!

The original The One is A LOT sweeter (which I don't like). But both have this powdery dry down which is also noticable in Gucci Flora. Of the three, I think Rose The One is the best.

Rose The One is, IMO, weak sweet rosy perfume.

It hasn't a lot of common to his father The one.

It's a bit girlie, berry- cherry teen juice; in seeking of warm cozy rose scent it doesn't satisfy me.

Definitely fruity floral.

Weak smell, fades, not that interesting or sweet.

This perfume is a strange one for me.

As always,I have a duplicate (a replica containing vegan synthetic musk) of this.

I have never smelled the original,but mine is a very sour/sharp grapefruit citrusy smell in the start. I get a hint of roses,but mostly grapefruit. I find it refreshing. At the start,about 2 minutes of wear,I smell a little bit of wood too.

I tried this on just before I went to sleep.
The next day,it is still here on my neck. It is a sample,and I'm not really sure if it is my true scent style,so I am not sure if I want full bottle or not. It is lovely though. It is a softly musky scent, with a little spice to it.

Not in love with this scent. I liked The One better. Also, this fragrance doesn't last too long on me.

There's cool freshness to it but yet at the same time it's warm and earthy. The rose scent strikes me as a fresh cut rose with with thorns on a warm summers day. Sweet and soft but yet there is a citrus zing. I can definitely smell the grapefruit on top. A nice cold slice with sugar on top. Without it, it would probably be just another nice rose scent. The citrus and rose compliment each other so well it's amazing. It feels like a very modern rose, not old fashioned at all. It's also a very cheery, happy scent, but at the same time very romantic. I love the die down, as I get more vanilla in the mix.
The only negative, is the longivity. Maybe an hour on me. I knew this before I bought it, but as I said I was already in love. I always have trouble with perfumes lasting any length of time on my skin, so I will just have to live with it. As I said, it's addictive.
I can reapply if need be.

Like Hypnose, Rose the One smells awesome in the bottle, but bitter when applied. Try this one on before purchasing a bottle...

I wish i could like this. It does smell of Rose as the name implies, but with my chemistry it quickly turned bitter, sour, musky, and sharp. After 1 hour, it all but disappeared. The only one I've had 100% luck with of this line is L'eau The One. That one grabs onto me and doesn't let go.

A Rose by any other name...... Rose The One is not simple and ordinary at all to me. Instead I find it to be quite different. Its very ladylike , refined but this rose maybe could get out of hand . Like a good girl with a tiny bad streak. The more I wear it the more I like it. Get lotsa questions about what I'm wearing. I am NOT a rose fan believe it or not but this is tempered rose and its quite intriguing . I say try it, its as another reviewer said a little "spoiled princess" scent but HEY we can all indulge our inner princesses sometimes , can we not ?

Beautiful rose scent. I want it in my collection. In the store it seemed very light though. Maybe that is a good thing?

I liked so much the original "The one" and I also like very much Rose the one...

The one is bold and just a bit mature...rose the one is soft and girlysh . (but perfect for any age)
The one is warm and sweet ...rose the one is citrusy, metallic, romantic and subtle.

(Also Synthetic ...but I dont care )

It feels like roses and litchi dipped in a grapefruit juice...in a silver glass water ... :)))

Hmmm...girly but also sophisticated .

Perfecet for day use,during spring and the first summer days.


I would class It in the same category as Bright Crystal, and Dior Addict 2

If possible, this one smells even better than the original One. There's just a slight hint of sour rose on me, and it's beautiful.

Got a sample today. Very intrigue by all the advertisements and I really wanted to know how it smell. It started very plasticky to me. Not really a fan of it until it settle for few minutes. It's soft, clean, refresing, soapy scent. The rose is interpreted in a different modern way. A sort of sweet and powdery to me. Lovely dry down. Good for autumn and summer scent. It is light and very wearable. But it's not "rose the one" for me.

Rose the one is a delicate citrus and rose scent. Reminiscent of red roses that smell like lemons, or maybe the salmon ones with a hint of peachy fuzziness. It is definitely a refreshing daytime scent for work. The herbal effects of rose along with citrus combine for an exhilarating spritz.

Oh, I was mistaken in my previous review, I will, for sure, buy another bottle when I finish this one, which is soon! It's incredibly wearable, relaxing, sexy, beautiful, feminine, yes, the only "wow" in it comes from wow, this is really really nice!

Comparing “Rose the One” side by side with its predecessor “The One,” it’s obvious that this flanker chucked all of the syrupy original’s notes except for the vanilla/amber base and signature lychee topnote.

The original is a seriously sweet candied fragrance aimed at the wallets and hearts of 20 year olds who grew up wearing cotton candy bodysplash. “The One” is a more luxurious version of the fruity-floral-gourmand concept, smelling of a honeyed fruit tart served piping hot in an Indian temple, the air thick with Nag Champa.

“Rose the One” has left the orient, but remains in the kitchen. Floating above the vanilla/amber base is a rose/peony/lily bouquet accented by an herbaceous smell reminiscent of thyme and sweet basil. “Rose the One” possesses understated elegance in spite of its squeaky-clean soapyness. It is demure and pretty – a modern “clean” floriental with just a hint of warmth.

I was so opiniated about even smelling this before buying...I thought it would just be another very dull and overpoweringly sickly sweet fragrance...due to my dislike in rose scents.

BUT WOW. I love it. I tested it expecting to dislike it instantly but it really did surprise me, its light and fresh and just...gorgeous! I couldnt afford it at the time but my parents have hinted at a giftset for christmas this year...i think this could become my new signature scent! :D <3

Grapefruit and roses. Who would have know, that they would be so beautiful together. Normally I don't go for rose scented perfumes, as I find them rather dusty and matronly. This however, is like the rose right from the shrub. Warm and rather earthy. When mixed with fresh grapefruit it's another animal. It's very romantic with a "natural" feel to it. I myself, have about 16 rose bushes, and when the wind is blowing on a warm summer night, the scent can drive me wild. Rose can be a very intoxicating fragrance when done right.

This perfume's heart is similar with D&G The One. The top notes are different: here, is the rose, at The One is the vanilla. The results are also different: Rose The One is a "princess" perfume, smells precious, like an apricot-pink tea rose with a little bit of pink grapefruit. I find it sweet, young, a little bit spoiled-girlish. I must admit I enjoy it very much, but I can't wear it in some situations, sometimes can seem a bit embarrassing "starlet-ish".

It’s a refreshing scent and although it definitely brings up memories of rose gardens, it doesn’t remind you of your grandmother’s perfume.

Sweet rose, fresh and serene. Peony is strong. Resembles the rose from Prince Jardinier Un bouton de rose, only this is sweeter ( and better). A very well rounded rose, smells natural, nothing chemical in it. Obviously they used good ingredients.
In my opinion this is a day perfume, beautiful, clean, pleasant and romantic, very feminine, but light enough to spray your pillows with before sleeping, if you are a rose fan ( and I am).
It's a very young rose, shy, it has no dramatic power. A little overpriced, considering there is no innovation here and you have to spray generously and often, because the staying power is poor. Silage is actually not that bad.
The pink bottle is lovely, and heavy, good quality.
I don't regret buying it, but probably I will not do it again when this one is finished. For now, I am enjoying it a lot, it reminds me of summer time.

They named it The One
For The One hour it will last.
For me, like some
It's a beautiful blast.

For One crowded hour
Its warm, sacred amber
Seeps clean, perfumed power.
It flows. It's subtle, rosy, tender.

Pure flooded rose. Sigh.
My heart is a warm ember.
The scent draws close, the hour is nigh
Now its a struggle to remember.

Why, why, why.

MMMMMM...Yes...Lalalala...this perfume makes me want to sing!

I super love this perfume!! Too bad it doesn't stay on my skin that long.. And maybe even I pour the whole bottle content on me, the scent is too weak, I can't smell it myself unlike the other perfumes which you can still smell even after taking a bath.. It's funny that L'eau the one which is an "EDT" stays longer and stronger on me compared to this "EDP".. But I still love it..!!!

Ahh the Rose, Queen of Flowers, symbol of Love throughout the ages and one of the most sensual scents on Earth. A classic and unmistakable aroma that graces (probably) more perfumes than any other flower...and though I love the scent of a living rose, I am not a big fan of these and as far as flowers go, I'd rather receive lilacs or hyacinths...or even an orchid; but this is, by far, my favorite of The Ones. Imagine my surprise...

This little sweetie begins with lush citrus notes like mandarin and pink grapefruit combined with watery sweet black currants and lychees creating something dark, juicy, fresh and sweet; but not overly syrupy or sugary. This maintains a lite translucent feel while carrying the fruits well. This has the lily and muguet but brings the newcomer Rose to the fore, and it is gentle and soft like a rose in full bloom on the vine, stunning! Instead of the sweet, indolic jasmine, there are peonies, with their dry spiciness to accent the rose and complement the lily's creaminess and muguet's green clarity. This is quite an amazing floral medley, oozing with gentle strength, calling to me in what I can only describe a sexy, throaty whisper. The drydown differs from either of its predecessors in that it has ambrette seeds and their musky wood-like scent, with vague floral nuances, combines with light musk and sandal's sharp scent to calm and quiet the usually strong vanilla note and make it less gourmand and rich and adds a silky, almost powdery softness not found in the other Ones...yet it does belongs with the others:like a younger half-sister, similar but totally her own, with qualities not found in the other two but similar enough to them to notice they are related...fair and beautiful, she has me in her spell...

Sillage: okay
Longevity: decent
Overall: 4.25/5

No one was more surprised than me that I liked this much better than the other Ones, and I guess that I like roses more than I thought, and this reminds us...they're not just for old lady perfumes anymore!!

D&G Rose the One. It was the love at the first smell. I didnt like D&G fragrances, except Light Blue, but this one is unbelievable. Really very nice, I adore it and soon buy it :)))))

Everybody is talking about how boring and unoriginal this perfume is. But honestly, I have yet to smell anything like it.

Now I'm not a big fan of roses as rose perfumes have become so strong and sickly sweet these days. but not for this one.
The fruit and vanilla balance off the rose quite nicely so it doesn't come off loud.It's fresh at first, floral and fruity by the time it gets to the heart, and the dry down is musky, dewy and very powdery.
I think that's a very soft and feminine composition and I'm not surprised that D&G chose Scarlett Johansson to be the face of this fragrance as she is the epitome of femininity what with those famous curves of hers.
After reading some of the reviews around here, I felt compelled to stand up to this perfume. Another thing that I liked is the fact that the scent, even though revolving around a new ingredient (rose) still managed to stay true to the original composition of its mother fragrance (The One), which makes it a good franker, as most flankers these days tend to deviate way to much and have absolutely nothing to do with the original (I don't even know why they don't just design new bottles and give them new names). I do like The One but it's too sweet, strong and mature for me, so this is the perfect alternative as the juice is not far from the latter's.
As for the lasting power, I do agree that it is not so strong but it does last quite a bit nevertheless; it's been 5 hours and I could still smell a lingering powdery scent on my wrist.

I'd say this is great for a signature scent, it's soft and light enough for spring and summer and not too harsh so you can still wear it to work or classes. It's not a mature scent strictly speaking, but it smells more like a 'woman',I wouldn't recommend this to teens.

Oh and one more thing, I like to associate perfume with classical music pieces, this one smells like Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" (sorry I just like to be a geek kthnxbai)

I love to smell that perfume because I get never bored of it. I love the smell of roses.
It fits for every situation because it is delicate, tender and feminine. This advantage unfortunately makes it for me not a good choice to buy it again because it "flies" away on my skin very fast. :/

it is a perfect combination of vanilla and rose,i can smell pepper too but there isnot any pepper on list,i use to wear it at work,my guy and coworkers like the smell of it on me.the longevity is poor and this is the only negative thing about the gorgous Rose the one.

Great fragrance, very citrussy and fresh. But unfortunately it's got absolutely no staying power whatsoever on me. Shame, because otherwise I would definitely buy it.

Dolce & Gabbana ROSE THE ONE is the breath-taking
realisation of a contemporary feminine floral, and a
deftly sensual paean to the eternal romance of the rose.

Creamy cool floral with a clean soapy drydown that makes you drool!

af first it smells sweet and lovely. But then a anoying chemical fume sets in.
I disliking it after that

I think it is quite like The One. If you have it do not buy this one.

Lovely, but I can't feel the vanilla's aromat. A little bit: vanilla and caramel will be good.

I got a sample from my sister and have to say that I am impressed! The lasting power is great. Rose the One is a soft rose scent. I do like Stella, but feel that the roses are somewhat strong, almost sticky. Instead Rose the One is a gentle rosescent that smells warm and cozy.

One of my 3 new favorites: L'Eau the One, The One and Rose the One. All similar yet all different. This isn't as sweet as The One.

To me this perfume is just very ordinary, anonymous and... not boring but nothing special either. It smells fresh, flowery and nice but nothing more about it.

To me it smelled ordinary. Like so many bland flower scents. When it settles the rose is very soft and it is pleasant. Non offensive and mild.

In this period, I'm using this fragrance, I Think it's classical, elegant and a little bit retro-style!
I raccomand it!

How nice to find the versions of The One stay true to the original, yet cater for the delicate differences in taste. I agree with Anahi, all are delightful! If you like one, you will probably enjoy them all.

Rose smells as rich, silken & expensive as the original yet adds a light & sour rose to the mix. I have caught wafts of this on others & immediately known that it was "The One" - very romantic, smooth & creamy.

It was never made to be a complex, difficult, interesting, or unusual scent - it has hit its mark by delighting the masses & enrapturing many. So, perfume snobbiness aside, this is a simple delight that suits most occasions yet keeps you smiling - like finding the very best underwear!

A young women, a rose-bud about to bloom - sensual simplicity at its best.

My mum was the one who told me about this perfume and when I did smell it I knew it was for me! It is very sexy and sensual smelling and I do love it! can't wait to get a bottle of my own.

Pleasant Rose, definitely prettier and more complex than D & G: The One. Nice, light and sweet Rosey floral (just a touch of fruity.) Not fabulous staying power, but decent. Okay of you absolutely have to have a D & G perfume, but if you want a truer or more complex Rose, skip it.

Peço desculpas para os especialistas, pois ainda não falo tecnicamente sobre o assunto, posso dizer apenas que sinto o cheiro de Rose The One o dia todo, em cada movimento, é muito bom :D
Comecei com o The One, em seguida comprei Rose The One, sou realmente fã!

Absolutely loving D & G's Rose The One!! It does start out tart and slightly fruity but with rose as the placard to ground the fragrance to. It is very much like real rosewater and it is what I'd been searching for in rose based fragrances. Sweet, feminine, and ever so very slightly powdery. I'm going to need a larger bottle! Wristsniffer hit the nail on the head with that review!

A nice modern take on the rose theme, a fresh rose at that, no similarities here with say YSL's Paris or Brosseau's Ombre Rose. Shame about the lasting power though, it's pretty poor.

I agree with the reviewer below me that all the one variations are extrenely simiar in the drydown. I thought the original one was too intense/cloying for my taste. Leau the one was definitely lighter and better but I am falling for rose the one... I was hoping to love this so I resisted the urge to try it for the fear that i might end up being disappointed... so far so good... the rose is dewy which I love... I wish the top notes would stay for ever... perfect for a warm summer day... delicious!!

Honestly, all versions of 'The One' smell identical to eachother; just that:

The One - sweeter

L'eau The One - fresher

Rose The One - flowery

But I do love and want them all!

I just finished it and I want to buy it again, I really like this perfume: it's soft, very light and it's really better than original D&G The One

The most unremarkable scent I've tried in a long time. It's not very different from Bulgari's Rose Essentiale .

This was NOT the old-fashioned, soapy rose fragrance that I was looking for. But I like it on my skin, enough to have purchased a gift set for myself. This is the perfect fragrance to wear when I feel like wearing pink shirts. +1 from a guy...

This one is growing on me...at first I thought it reminded me of freshly shampooed hair ( I spray it in my hair, at nape of neck). I liked the first instant of juicy citrus, which faded. Hours later, I still smell it on me (has been about 10 hrs!) and it is a subtle wet rosey fragrance. I am trying out sample, and am considering ordering it from a discount online supplier-but dont know which to trust- or may just go back to the retailer that I recvd the sample from...any suggestions?

in my opinion d&g rose the one is way better then the d&g the one

I hate the original The One. It is definitely not the one for me. This one is a little better. The initial rose is nice but it quickly disappreas and turns into the nastiness that is The One.

This fragrance disappointed me. I was hoping this would be a soft, sweet and pretty interpretation of rose but in reality Rose The One is quite tart and fruity.

The opening is incredibly strong with sharp and sour notes of grapefruit, litchi, black currant and mandarin orange. Together with the loud rose note, the combination becomes quite metallic and synthetic.

Thankfully the opening does soften making way for the more delicate floral notes like lily and peony. I must add that the rose in this fragrance is very cloying and intense, it's almost too much.

The drydown was my only enjoyment which is basically a soft, sweet, powdery and musky floral blend, a little too predictable for my liking.

Not exactly a fan of Rose The One, but for those that like the scent, the lasting strength is good.

I received a sample of this and tried it out a couple days ago. I couldn't smell it AT ALL - it was like I was spraying water on myself. However, before starting my review this morning, I decided to give it another try, and I'm happy I did. I guess my sense of smell was off, because today I got a nice scent from it - the start was a blast of roses with a touch of citrus that has settled down to roses with a sweetness that I can't quite define - but it doesn't overwhelm the roses, it just adds a sort of touch of sugar to their petals. A nice, wearable rose perfume, along the same lines as Bvlgari's Rose Absolute or Yves Rocher's Milrose. Too bad the sample I received was only half-full (and what's up with THAT??).

I have tried this on a few hours ago.It started out as a citrusy,fresh perfume and a few minutes later a sweet - but not TOO sweet- powdery rose kicked in.The dry-down is quite similar to the original, but this one is not as overwhelming as the original, which really makes me sick.Actually, I like Rose The One pretty much...at least enough to consider of buying it.Plus the fact that the perfume is still present after 4-5 hours since I had sprayed it on.

I sampled this and it is nice. Nice and pleasant, surprisingly so, as I am not overly keen on roses. I wouldn't mind wearing this fragrance, but it doesn't seem particularly interesting or outstanding and it doesn't last on me.

update: as with several other roses I have tried recently, I am growing rather fond of this. Tested again several times since my first try and...yes...I do like it much more than I first thought!

besides The One... for men... this is the only other The One that I actually like enough to buy. On me it smelt like fresh flowers spritzed with some water. It's quite light... I have had Antonia's Flowers - Floret on my to-buy-list for a very very very long time because it gives me that same image when i smell it... except Floret has more apricot or peach or some fruit. I thought today that I had found something better. And it's true... it's good for the first bit, but it fades away to nothing in a matter of hours. So back to Floret I go. I prefer The One in the early days because Floret can be kind of pungent at the start... but Floret is still kicking on 6 hours later... The One left the party hours back.

well for me it works like magic,the top notes makes me feel fresh and agile .I feel that I am wearing something special .lily has a very subtle effect on your skin which is very pleasent and romantic.Its perfect for cold nights and I really think its worth trying .

This beautiful scent is what a flanker truly should be - it stays true to the original The One, but does so in a slightly different (floral in this case) fashion; it's like experiencing the original scent through rose-colored lenses. Rose The One is still sweet and powdery, yet the freshness of rose, lily, and peony make it more romantic. What definitely stands out, to my nose, and what sets it apart from the original, is the rose, which is just slightly powdery and quite bright. The peony adds a bit of green wetness, and the lily is just barely there (I would have liked a bit more lily, to be honest, but it's still quite lovely without a decent amount of lily). Overall, it's a fresh, modern take on an old-fashioned romantic rose. This is somewhat similar to Parisienne, but more vibrant and with more focus on the rose than fruit - it's smoother and more abstract, and altogether more beautiful (in my humble opinion). I have yet to try Guerlain's most recent take on the rose, Idylle, but based on the reviews for that scent, and my experience with Parisienne, I would highly recommend checking out Rose The One first, to anyone looking for a new, modern rose fragrance.

I would wear the original The One when I'm feeling spunky and sassy and in an adventurous mood - it's sharper and more flirtatious. Rose The One is more appropriate for a romantic evening out, or a more formal occasion; it's sweet and innocent, yet far from naive or ditzy. It's the kind of perfume a girl might reach for when she's in the mood to fall in love.

Rose The One is based on same idea as the original: to provide powdery and gentle feeling while wearing it. And I think D&G have accomplished their goal.

Rose The One opens with delightful rose and apricot smell on my skin, fresh and sweet in balanced subtle way. The drydown is powdery vanilla, and this is the moment when I can find some similarities with The One.

This is pleasant and wearable perfume, reminds me on spring and times when I went to high school. So innocent and dreamy...

I received a sample of this so I could spray it a few times on my skin before getting a full opinion. In spite of the fact I'm not crazy about D&G in general, I have to say that this one smells nice and quite refined. It's nothing totally original. It actually it reminds me a lot of Gucci Flora and after a few minutes it settles to an apricoted rose with some plastic edge, just like Flora. Still it's very pleasant and easily wearable. I think this would make a great choice to match a feminine, half-formal wear for office.
It stays for a few hours without morphing to strange things and it has a refined sillage.

Nothing special.
This year D&G evidently chose image and breath-taking campaigns over composition.
Exactly like the Anthology series, this "the one" version is an attractively coloured way to fool some fashion victims with a taste for "not too heavy" fragrances. Enjoy...
Not for perfume believers though.

My friend got me this perfume but I already have one. I can't return it because she got it from Europe. I am willing to sell it at a discount! Please let me know if you're interested.

Thanks

The top really reminds me of Baby Doll - for about 10 minutes. They have blackcurrant, citruses, lily-of-the-valley, rose, sandalwood and vanilla as common notes.

Then it becomes more mature, because the light rose lasts till the end (but the scent doesn't last long itself).

It's more a floral-fruity, I would say. Very nice, elegant, discreet, feminine.

Definitely different from the original, that's why I like it :)

Rose version seems a little bit different from The One. It's not warm and very sweet, but definitely there's still something from The One.

Top is very pleasant, intense and was truly close to delicious.
Indeed there must be loads of litchi - it has something common with Chloe Eau de Parfum, so I figured out how it smells. Rose here too, but that's a modern, a bit plasticky and girlie girl rose. I like it.

Just got a new sample from my favorite dept store. First minute I get sweet citrus(grapefruit) and a little current and then they're gone. Enter rose lilly OTV peony. then in 5-7 minutes the scent is barely there. Like I washed my arm in nice rose soap that barely leaves a scent. I hope that maybe a hint of the base notes will show in a little bit. For the time this was present it was not a romantic, green, or elegant rose but rather sweet with out being candy sweet. The note I get most is Lilly of the vally.
... nope no base notes, completely gone in under 10min
Hope it lasts longer on someone else.

I applied to skin with sample in magazine. I thought I smelled litchi/lychee but was not sure if it was an actual note used in this perfume. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that my nose was accurate after reading the notes online. The most prominent notes are litchi and rose to me. Soft, romantic, girly, and a little powdery. I prefer my perfumes with some brightness and this has none of the sparkling quality. Like but not love.
