The One by Dolce&Gabbana

For: women Designer: Dolce&Gabbana Olfactive Group: Oriental Floral
Video

As it was envisioned by designers, The One is a fragrance for an exceptional woman who instantly draws attention, not only with her looks, but also with her manners, pose and inner world. This fragrance, like all of the fragrances of D&G house, is a 'fragrance with character', special and alluring. Its oriental floral-fruity composition is very warm and sensual with powdery vanilla trace. The color of the fragrance perfectly matches its tone.

The composition opens with softly fresh mandarin, bergamot, litchi and peach. The heart is thin and balmy, with the notes of jasmine, lily of the valley and white lily which graciously intertwine with the fruity touch of plum. The woodsy-powdery base is created of vetiver root, amber, musk and vanilla. The One was created in 2006.

A friend of mine was the one to call this perfume " a seductive", I think was right :)). Somehow it made me feel too clean but somehow mysteries. Could it be the secret men desire women to be the part of...pure meanwhile mysterious...funny:))

The One is a very sweet floral vanilla on my skin. I get lots of peach, plum and lily in the first thirty minutes of wear.

The vanilla in The One's dry down is heavy and sweet. It's not a boozy vanilla note, but rather it's more like vanilla cake, or even vanilla frosting-ish, than a vanilla extract scent. On my skin, the lily notes play faintly in the background in the dry down, and I smell the musk too, which adds depth to the scent.

The One is a comforting scent, but only when applied sparingly. More than just one light spray makes The One overwhelming, headache-inducing, and can even make me nauseous. But with a delicate application, it's a comforting Oriental Vanilla.

This perfume is definitely for night and cool weather wear. It's far too heavy and rich for the office, or for wear in the summer heat.

I have already written one review of The One describing it as a romantic nice scent but unfortunately very vague. I deleted the review because a colleague of mine was wearing heavy doses of the fragrance. It smelled like a dessert with too much vanilla and lemon. It was so nauseating to every other person. I had to put it on the "don't like" list.

I decided to give it another chance because I couldn't really believe that such a volatile perfume could be so suffocating.
Once again I get a vague scent of vanilla and citrus. Very nice and "cosy". Something to wear in front of the fireplace on a cold day with the one you love.
In very very small doses I find it quite delicate. But be careful, as it can become queasy instead.

D&G THE ONE is a smooth, subtle, and safe vanilla scent. Yes, there are a few accoutrements, a bit of citrus in the brief opening, a touch of floral garnish, a very light layer of amber-musk in the drydown, but ultimately this is a not-too-sweet white and creamy vanilla fragrance not unlike many others available today.

THE ONE does not stand out to my nose as novel or daring, but given their choice of face, Gisele Bundchen (a former Victoria's Secret model), D&G was probably aiming for VS types, who like nice things but are not usually revolutionaries!

THE ONE is a tasteful blend that is entirely pleasing to wear and inoffensive to those in the environs, as the sillage is rather weak. Anyone who likes fine vanilla scents would appreciate THE ONE, but THE ONE is not unique.

I received this perfume today in the mail from a wonderful member, thanks so much:) And I really really like it alot. I have been wearing it for about 6 hours now, and I can still smell it, so I think it lasts quite well. I don't smell many of the flowers in the middle notes, which is great for me, since I don't really like flowery scents. I do smell the citrus when it is first sprayed, and on me, it dries down quickly and I smell the base notes for hours, which I love! We are snowed in here today, and it smells so warm and cozy. This is one of my favorites and I love it!

I puchased this on a whim based on reviews and a strip sample and now that I'm actually wearing this its taking some getting used to ! At first it goes on strong and loud and most of all very sweet.Lasting power seems good since I've been wearing for 4 hrs now.There is alot of depth and personality to this perfume.On first touching my skin,I almost wanted to shower.Considering returning ,but it is growing on me,literally ! Mixing with my chemistry making me feel sexy and confident.Unfortunately,I do not get any fruit on my skin.Its as if the middle notes never present themselves and it skips from top to the bottom.I only am getting alot of amber and vanilla for the most part.I can't yet say if this is a keeper or not.

I have L'eau the One and have been waiting to try The One to compare. They are almost identical (both wonderful) except L'eau the One is just a tiny bit softer. I have a full bottle of L'eau so I'm glad I only picked up a mini of The One. Very soft and warm. Fabulous scents, both of them!

Strange that this is clearly an oriental, but it is such a light and sheer one that I can hardly call it such. There is a weighted base of plum and vanilla/amber that traditionally denotes an oriental fragrance, but they are so deftly handled here that they balance the top notes without dragging the composition down. Lychee is slightly fizzy, smoothly blended with the peach,though both notes are clearly discernible. I smell none of the jasmine or muguet, and the vetiver is also so sparingly used that it harmonizes rather than announces itself. Overall a very well-made scent. Soft and ladylike, this strikes me as being formal while not being black-tie. Perhaps a bridal scent, or a tea party scent.

I'm all for sweet fragrances, but unfortunately this fragrance just seemed too sweet for me.

The opening although pretty fruits, is a little too much like sticky candies overloaded with sugar. Due to this sweetness I would say that The One is a relatively young and flirtatious scent, not something to be taken seriously.

The One does mellow into a warm and pleasant oriental floral, however I can't say that I was blown over backwards by its uniqueness. The jasmine, lily and plum are pretty and certainly wearable, the most pleasant aspect of this fragrance so far.

The drydown isn't bad either, the vanilla brings back an element of syrupy sweetness which made me cringe at first but it was no where near as bad as I thought it would be. I'll give credit to this fragrance for its excellent sillage and lasting power and its sensuality and creaminess. It is unfortunate that the scent doesn't appeal to my nose.

This scent is so beautiful and sophisticated. Probably too old for me... I wonder if I can pull it off, with the base notes of vanilla? Neverthelss, I wear it when I am alone at home, and the smell is soo rounded out, and it just gets better as time goes by. Definately for a woman who wants to turn heads.

i can´t believe how long lasting this perfume is. i put it on yesterday morning and still can smell it around me today.
the fragrance itself is very refined, ladylike and creamy. but imo it does not represent a soft and gentle kind of feminity but a strong confident one.
everytime i try to sniff its scent on my skin i am not able to catch any of the notes, but it is the sillage i can smell very explicitly. the one seems like an fragrant aura.
not too extraordinary but very beautifully done - you can´t go wrong with it.

On my skin it smells a bit like green tea initially. It develops into a warm fragrance which is long lasting and it isn't fruity on me at all. It is definitely an evening wear perfume, not ideal for everyday unless you are a glitzy, diamond necklaces to the supermarket type of gal ;).
I have smelled it on other people and I noticed that on one person it smelled overly floral, while on another person it actually smelled metallic - which was very off-putting!

I was given this scent by my bf who loves it. I didn't like it at first. To me it smelled only of rose, a deep, creamy, powdery rose, which isn't a note. Then I began to understand a little of its complexities and some lingering warmth.It smells a bit old fashioned and youthful at the same time. It is like falling in love with someone you've known for a long time but never considered until in them more than others, you discover something of the extraordinary. The One is a delicate scent and does not sway from its character, though to me it is still a rose by many other notes...

My first impression is how beautifully understated, silken & creamy The One is. It somehow reminds me of those delicately scented dry body oils that contain flecks of real gold: pure luxury.

The One is sweet but not heavy or heady, it is long-lasting, substancial yet light & almost transparent, hovering above the skin, blessing your nose with sensual butterfly kisses. The notes I instantly detect are peach, lily, vetiver & vanilla. I am aware of a deeper warmer fruitiness after half an hour (a very light plum) & the last gasps are of a buttery amber.

The blending is quietly masterful - all the corners have been rounded off & sanded down so that you are left with a smooth, velvety scent that is ultra-creamy with one of the nicest, quietest vanilla bases I have sampled. The One reminds me a little of the original Burberry for women - & perhaps a lighter, young & fruity, lithe cousin of Lalique le parfum.

The best thing about The One is how well it matches every occasion. It is a cashmere jumper over your dog-walking jeans, kid leather gloves to finish off your work suit, a fine silk chiffon stole over your ball dress, a feather stroke over your naked body.

There will never be only "One" for me, but it is straight onto my 'must have' list. If you want sophisticated, warm & creamy, this is it.

The One wasn't love at first smell. On paper it seemed light, pleasant and soft. It reminded me of innocent flowers with a touch of vanilla and fruits. Something about it kept me coming back for another sniff every time I went to the store. Luckily, I became so intrigued by the subtle notes I broke down on a whim and bought this for my birthday.

First off, the paper sample does not give this perfume justice! Its like reading the first and last page of a book and having no idea of the true contents inside. Once this touches skin it bursts with juicy, mouth watering fruits and endless depth. It really is "golden". That is just not found on a paper strip!

I'll tell you what I smell and it may be odd.. I smell bananas, plums, creamy vanilla, marshmallows, lilies and the most gorgeous golden amber. Despite what I smell it manages to refrain from the overly sweet "gourmand" category. The One is romantic, soothing, breezy, warm, tender and elegant..

The One caresses the skin like a loving delicate hug. Just when I think its gone I get wafts of smell seeping through my sweater like a heavenly cloud following me around. I'm like "mmmm where is that great smell coming from" and I realize its me! I find the silage and lasting power to be perfect. I love how it melts into the skin like a warm blanket. The name "The One" fits perfectly. It wears with YOU!

im starting not to like this one. the drydown smells ok, its soft and close to the skin but the initial spray and the first 20 minutes are beginning to make me sick. this fragrance just feels and smells 'empty'. no depth to it. makes my stomach turn for wutever reason. Damn it smelled so good on paper!

This was one of my first buys on Fragrantica! After reading all the reviews I just had to try it. My first impression is deep dark vanilla (which I truly like). I also get some chocolate (another favorite scent of mine). At first try, I was excited and liked what I was smelling. Half an hour later, I had the beginnings of an awful migraine. I thought oh well, the migraine must've been coming on beforehand. I seriously had to take a shower to get it off. I decided to try it two more times just to make sure. The next time I tried it, same thing got a major migraine. Ok, I'm brave! About two weeks later it was time for my third try. Same thing. There's something to the strength or ingredients that doesn't work on me as much as I've tried. Sorry DG The One! I wanted to love you!

Eh... this is okay. Not at all bad. I get the idea that D&G was shooting for a "glamorous" feel with this, and it really does smell that way. But it just sort of falls flat. I wouldn't dare buy this cause I'd probably get bored with it in a few weeks :/

this perfume is truly beautiful. it's top notes smell very similiar to dolce and gabbana pour femmme but the dry down is different (i think better. the vanilla comes true but it is not an artificial vanilla but erather a rich earthy vanilla.

everytime i wear this fragrance i get a boost of confidence cause i know i smell wonderful.

i started wearing less than a month ago and it has already become my signature scent replacing organza by givenchy (which i love but can no longer wear because it (organza) triggers painful memories).

When I first smelled this in the store I thought it was heavenly! Very unique perfume that smelled a bit like chewing gum. But when I started using it, the smell irritated me more and more.
I got such a headache from it!

Also.. This is a really common scnet.I smell it everywhere when I'm downtown .. And I must admit that I have such bad experience with this perfume, that if I smell it now, I get bloody sick! :(

The top notes are luxuriant fruity, dominated by peach. I didnt catch the citrus hint. Jasmine and lily are intense, rapidly following the start of this assembly.

Serenity comes with vanilla whiff, bringing indulgent murmur to the user.

The One is wearable, modern and sexy scent. Strength is average and long lasting, provides pleasant fragrance without enforcing itself to others.

For my taste is a bit to sweet, and vanilla shaded.

But, as I hear people love him. Why? Has a metropolis aura.

I just cannot see what the fuss is about with this at all. It seems very ordinary to me. I wore it for two solid weeks trying to find the secret of it, and it was either so well hidden I didn't get the clues, or it doesn't exist. Two weeks and not one single "You smell nice!" is both money and time wasted. Instead of the One, I got one of a thousand similar.

I actually like this scent alot. It opens up as a spicy but somehow peachy scent. Then it remains spicy on me but somehow you can smell vanilla. But it's a very discret vanilla that sneaks around in the background. Not overly sweet or cheap smelling. The lasting power is really good and the dry down is really soft and I can clearly smell plum.

Yum, Yum, Yum! This fragrance is gourmet heaven. The opening is a bright burst of peaches. I detect some of the other fruity notes like litchi and mandarin oranges, but the peach is most dominant. It's like sparkling fruit and I swear there's a hint of gold in it somewhere. There's not a hint of bubblegum in it at all. The heart of this perfume is composed of lily, plum and jasmine, adding a sufficient amount of sweetness. Together these florals intertwine the top notes with the spicy sweetness of the base notes, lulling your senses into a frenzy. The dry down is what I love the most. The musky spiciness of the vanilla amber and vetiver seeps quietly into the skin. This perfume has great lasting power, but if it doesn't last long on you, purchase the lotion and layer it with your perfume. Be sure to apply it to all of your pulse points, such as the wrist, behind the ear, crease of your arm and knee, and the base of your throat. Pulse points give off more body heat and is where blood vessels are closest to the skin. The continual warming of your skin releases your fragrance. Even spraying it on your lower body allows it to rise throughout the day. This scent is both modern and romantic and should be worn for special occasions during the fall of the year.

I love it! it's soft, sweet and classy. Very mellow scent that last quite long. Lets just say its one of those fragrances where you don't have to put your wrist close to your nose to smell it. Through out the day you keep getting this soft beautiful scent, like a breeze passing you by. The bottle is gorgeous and simple.

This fragrance is ...pure luxury. Warm, captivating,golden shimmer. Minks on alabaster shoulders, precious stones.It has a little bit of nuveau riche aura to it - may be too colorful, it is like a bird of paradise with an outstanding plumage...I noticed that The One reminds different people of different perfumes. For me it is Red Moscow, only more refined, tamed and primped.
I love the bottle, too - it is nice and heavy, reminds me of a bottles with expensive cognac.

I tested "The One" at a store the other day, and was a bit unimpressed, it Seemed a bit plain at first. Then, while driving home a bit later, I kept smelling this warm but fresh vanilla/skin scent....I traced it back to my own arm, where I had spritzed "The One". Hmmm, Nice! Nothing more, nothing less....just "nice". Might be good for casual, when you want to smell nice, but not make a statement. Who am I kidding.....I always want to make a statement! I'd wear it if I got it as a gift, but I probably wouldn't buy it myself, just not special enough for me.

A lighter, sweeter Hanae Mori; Soft, pretty, inoffensive fruity floral. Dry down is much too sweet on my skin and gets up my nose with musky vanilla. Nice on others, awful on me. Goes on pretty, though: just doesn't last that way.

Like the woman that wears it, the strength and uniqueness of THE ONE fragrance comes from contrast. It opens with an exciting, modern interpretation of fresh fruits, which is followed by the timeless scent of white flowers. The fragrance finally unfolds to reveal a deep and sensual base.
Notes consisting of mandarin, peach, bergamot, lychee, jasmine, muguet, madonna lily, vanilla, amber, musk, vetiver, and plum.

This is a warm, elegant floriental fragrance for autumn weather. Good silliage. The purse-sized roll-on version is great; wish all perfumes issued this. NOT for office wear. Best if you are over 30, IMHO.

yummy. i tested this at the belks counter today, it is definitely unique. there's something old spicy and apple cidery about it that makes it appealing. However, I'm not sure I'd buy it because it's not right for me. I like the smell though!

I have this fragrance, and while I thought I loved it, I'm now not so sure... is this fragrance suited for a young woman in her 20s? I'm not sure. There is something in it that I sense in the Cartier fragrances which seem a little more aged than I would like. I'm very torn!

Awesome!Amazingly tart and sexy!There is something mysterious in the way it smells,a specific mix of sweet,sour,floral,fruit and something like ment.The design of the bottle is simple but in the good way.It says:'I'm a classic perfume and I don't need bright color or fancy shape to be noticed!'A unique fragrance made for HER-THE ONE!

I love D&C The One [EDP] on my Wife... wrapped in it and she comes around to spread sensual sparks of a very balanced fruity / floral aroma of breath-taking substance for me to feel her presence ...as a distinctive "One". Sheer & subtle fragrance keeps her fold under a warm and romantic gown to deliberately attract me to feel my "GOLDEN" beauty deeply!!!!

Classic, beautiful scent. It reminds me of a very expensive soap scent that you just cant stop smelling. LOVE IT!!!!

The name says everything about it:The One,it means not comparable to any other perfume,designed for a very particular woman with special manners and character.some one like Cinderella or beauty.
I was in the perfume shop and as you know after testing a few perfumes your nose can't distinguish between fragrances.they all seem to be the same.but when I smelled this one ,the strong warm notes took me and I told myself,I love this one absolutely!the surprising point is that I'm not into oriental scents at all!warm and powdery,ageless and luxe is how I can describe it.I don't suggest it for casual or summer and spring use.but it's great for a huge ceremony in the cold weather or even christmas time.As the gold bottle inspires,it's a luxury stuff.in fact the only reason I didn't buy it,was the price.

After so many comments i'm not sure i can add something new. On my skin it turns out very soft oriental, can't really identify any flowers, but the litchi and citrus notes are present.

A good scent for a special occasion or night wear, its has good staying power and syllage.
It makes me feels somewhat sofisticated and sexy, kind like wearing daring lingerie under a formal demure dress. It empowers you.

This is a lovely perfume, possibly a little overpowering for day wear- but still very floral.The packaging belies its sweetness though and is a litlle bland. I am on to my third bottle and it always gets commented on.

Ok, new impressions....I wore this two days in a row, the second day It didn't last longer than a few hours and I couldn't smell it at all. Really strange as it was all powerful the first day. Why does that happen?

I am liking this alot, it has a little of the Fendi Theorema about it. But I haven't had a bottle of that for a few years, so just going by memory, not a direct comparison. It is seems milder than Theorema I think.

It is very nice and I am enjoying wearing it.

It is absolutely flowery fragrance to me, but nostalgic smelling. Initially I thought it is just one flower, rose perhaps, therefore I scrolled through the notes to establish if I'm right, but I guess it is the mixture of Lilly of the valley, jasmine and Lilly that creates this melancholic organically interwoven smell.. fruits add particular sweetness to the smell.
And as I see it is not only me to whom 'The One' brings back some childhood memories :)

Despite some sweetness this is a light fragrance, and hardly can be over sprayed

I'm very pleasantly surprised with this perfume, as I didn't expect something so elegant being produced these days (it's a relatively new product). The top and middle notes are flowers with honey, intertwined with something I couldn't name as I'm not so good in tracing the notes. It reminds me of my childhood - that specific note. Maybe it's a mixture of lilies with apricots, but it can ba amber or musk. It's very soft but highly sophisticated. It would suit a woman of any age and for various occasions, but mostly something special like for instance going to the theatre or concert, or special dinner. You can't be dressed down for this one, it exudes exclusivity and original style.

I'm completely sure it is not too fruity! I like the musk and vanilla notes! As to me the fragrance is chic, stylish, long lasting

This is NOT what I would call an obnoxious scent; it is one that recedes into the background and comes out to show you its true fragrance when you're least expecting it. Be careful, that there is a tendancy to overspray this - because at first it has about 2 minutes staying power, before it disappears almost entirely into your skin. But like all oversprayed perfumes, when it hits you, it hits you like a rock - and I actually felt quite sick when I smelt the full force of what I had done!

The fragrance itself I found attractive. It is fruity and floral at the beginning (I can detect peach, mandarin and jasmine...), fresh and light - until it dries down - when it becomes more oriental, with the vanilla taking hold and a bit of honey. I could swear there's a bitter note there also, (but I think I might just be mistaking it for one of the oriental notes...)

The bottle is gorgeous - gold, rectangular and heavy glass. The fragrance smells like it's got a pinch of gold in there somewhere! And it smells kinda special, like "the one".

I honestly feel a strong resemblance between The One by Dolce&Gabbana and Hypnose by Lancome. To my mind Hypnose is more delicate and The One is stronger though Hypnose has longer lasting power among these two.

I like it a lot. On my skin you don't really feel the oriental part of it, so the outcome is a nice, simple, wear-it-to-the-office kinda smell.

It is THE ONE. In very good and pleasant way. It is modern, sexy, extraordinary. It has s little too much vanilla for me, but overall - almost perfect. I would prefere to wear it for night rather than day time. IMHO "The One: is too heavy for office wear.

A good perfume. A great one? Maybe not, but definately a good perfume. It's heavy and a winter time scent, but compared to other nauseating litchi fragrances this is a winner. Not too overbearing, not too soft, just right in that regard. Might smell too much like other perfumes on the market, but as I said, it's worth it simply because you can smell like the trend and not induce vomiting.

This perfume smells like oranges and nothing else. It doesn't smell refined or like something you'd expect from a high end designer. It's lame.

I think it´s a fantastic perfume, I´d like to have it, but in my country, Argentina, everybody wears it,everybody has it, and it became an ordinary and common perfume. I don´t like to smell like everybody... too much advertising I think

i got the mandarin orange right away, and some of the musk and amber...then it completely disappeared on me! i think i will have to spritz it on again and really figure out if i like this or not...from what i did smell i think this would be suitable for fall and winter.

im not a big fan of this but dont think its like bubble gum either, i dont know what does bother me in this scent, i wouldnt say its too sweet because i use sweeter fragrances, but somehow its a dull sweetness not lively enough, i cant feel life in it at all, not boring, and not usual because i cant say anything that would smell like this, i simply dont like it not on testing paper nor on my skin, and thats only my opinion, because my bf loves it

I dont understand where the bubble gum comments come from...I don't get that at all from this scent. I love the base tones, very sensual. Great for a night out.

I agree completely with Ninulia! Bubblegum on first spray, strange fruity weirdness on dry down. That's all I've ever gotten out of "The One". To me, this is unique, but not in a good way. It merges two genres of fragrances that don't go together - the trendy new fruity florals with the clean classics. Too bad, I really love D&G fragrances.

at first i wanted to try this...but is it really petty that it bothers me so much that Giselle Bundchen is in the commercials? i really can't stand her

At first its a very unusual smell when you first spritz it on your skin. I smell the peach, bargmont and plum... the dry down is a nice soft vanilla. Wish it lasted longer. Not sure I would re-purchase when I run out..if I do run out.

It is nice and modern oriental-floral fragrance. The one may be a bit too sweet (without being too sugary) when you first spray it on, but it quickly mellows into pleasant soft and subtle scent, it is very fine, peachy, you can wear it both day and night. Staying power is not great, so try using the lotion that goes with this. Put it on first, then the scent on top. Much better than the scent alone. And it develops on your skin, part of its development reminds me of Carolina by Carolina Herrera (or should I say Coco mademoiselle b/c they are similar). Very nice heavy glass bottle with golden cap.
