The One Dolce&Gabbana for women

When i first bought it i thought it was amazing... But after a while it began to give me headaches ... And now i dont use it anymore. It wasn't for me in the end. :(

Shoot me, but for some reason I just adore to wear it in the heat, that's why I have just bought it. It is very, very sweet perfume, maybe too sweet, but lovable and unique and recognisable. I just love that plum and over- vanilish note, it brings smile to my face every time I feel it.

JUST LOVE AT FIRST SIDE! I love all the D&G fragrances, they are very sexy and warm. This one is my favourite with D&G Femme second and Sicily third.

I bought myself this fragrance immediately after sampling it as a 17 year old and becoming smitten, it was one of the first perfumes that paved the way for my scent addiction. Today, for me it is still The One, a cold weather evening scent that I don't have to think twice about. In the top notes, I get green tea, that gradually deepens into a peachy jasmine-vanilla spiced with flecks of gold. I have been told that I "smelled delicious" when wearing this on less formal outings. I also have to mention that my bottle is six years old, and the perfume inside has retained the same scent quality since the day it arrived. The powdery vanilla-amber dry down is my favourite part of this fragrance, you can still smell it on your skin the next day. The visual I get when wearing this is of stacked golden bars and an elegant brunette woman with long wavy hair dressed in black.

Dolce & Gabbana The One is tempting, modern, and glamorous. Luscious alluring vanilla, soft succulent peaches, fresh jasmine and lily, fruity plum and lychee with sun-kissed citrus notes. A dry down of warm amber, sensual musk and bergamot with a woodsy yet powdery base of vetiver. The One is a must have fragrance for the sexy and classy woman!

i was trying to like it few times (the same with l'eau)but the scent is so aanoys me..that dry sweetness, like sugar on hot pan..well i can't say it's offensive, i can bear it on other people but only not on myself because i want to rub it off..and why on the hell i bought the bottle, perhaps because i like vanilla, peach, litchi and lily notes, but i can't get no vanilla no litchi, peach - maybe. plum, jasmine and lily of the valley the only notes i can distinct. to conclude - this is not sexy perfume at all.

Not for me, I'm afraid. The very ingredients I love -- peach, bergamot and white flowers -- are non-existent to my nose. It's very very sweet and boozy on me. At first I sensed a tobacco, but that turned into just a lot more vanilla. Reminiscent of powdery fragrances with violets in them. The drydown smelled like a cloyingly sweet candle wax on me. Sorry.

Oh, dear heavens... That's all I can say! When I put this on, I feel like I'm wearing the sexiest dress. Conveniently, as I can't afford designer LBDs, this comes in handy! :)

This fragrance stands out as upscale. The ingredients are pure high quality ( probably explains why it is so expensive, or because the name). The initial spray and scent can be quite strong and heavy for someone who likes lighter scents. There is a very strong vanilla/peachy blast but it is very sophisticated. Peach can go wrong if it is too much or a cheap oil, but the peach is wrapped with vanilla and florals making it quite luxurious to wear. This scent has a very powdery quality to it. This perfume really makes one feel upscale and elegant. Its great for early evening and colder days since its has power to blast through sharp cold. It is a nice fall or winter fragrance. Careful not to overdo it though, too much of this and you will suffocate those around you.

I feel if you like Donna Karan Cashmere Mist, Coco Mademoiselle, or Prada, you may like this for the powdery/elegant quality

I really love the one, it is one of the most true smelling apricot fragrances I have ever smelt. I can't detect the lychee at all during wear, just apricot and vanilla. The apricot smells like apricot should be, fresh, not sickly sweet and the vanilla adds a lovely touch of warmth.

I kept coming back to this "one" at the store. And finally ordered a mini bottle to take a test drive with. First impression- pleasingly subtle and close to the skin, warm and soothing but not heavy enough to shy away from warm weather use. Top notes are light and fruity with citrus, peach and a nudge of litchi. Then a warm jazmine with an undercurrent of lily settles into a humm of vanilla, vetiver, amber, musk. The powdery dry down is not heavy at all. I think it's a fragrance you can enjoy from the get go. It doesn't require time for you to settle into it. I don't think it is extremely long wearing. I think it can be comfortably worn in the office without assaulting your coworkers and can easily transition to an evening out. I'm sure I will end up being very pleased with this and will be buying a large bottle. ~q

An Update! :

Yesterday, i go to shopping mall just want to test and buy either D&C the one or rose the one version and i decide to buy the rose version! 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. =]

I prefer rose version!

@desertrat : Glad that you love the original version! =] I can imagine that you are beautiful and classy woman! =D and sorry for my english, im from Malaysia.

LOVE it! I started wearing it again yesterday. I'm always surprised by the slight spicy top note that I can't identify. Maybe ginger or cinnamon? When it dries down it moves into a warm sophisticated creamy sweet vanilla and peach which I love. My husband also loves it on me. I like it better than the new Roberto Cavalli which on me is too sweet...
PS @Lovable Amy the Rose version dies on me as do most Rose fragrances. Lovely, but I like the original the One best!

No se que me pasaba con este perfume, pero lo probe tantas veces y no me convencia de comprarlo, me parecia muy fuerte al inicio, pero me encantaba cuando pasaba como media hora. El caso es que hace unos dias me anime y oh cielos!!! estoy TOTALMENTE ENAMORADA de el!! Es abril, hace calor, pero como lo uso en la oficina (hay clima), no lo siento nada pesado, se siente sútil, placentero, me relaja. Como muchas dicen, te hace sentir sexy y en mi caso: dura todo el dia! guau!

(ja, aún me pasa que lo huelo de la botella y me parece fortísimo)

I do not know what happened with this perfume, but I tried it many times and did not convince me to buy it, I looked very hard at first, but I loved it when I passed half an hour. Anyway, a few days ago and I encourage you heavens! I'm totally in love with him!! It's April, it's hot, but how do I use in the office (no weather), do not feel anything heavy, feels subtle, pleasant relaxes me. As many say, makes you feel sexy and in my case: lasts all day! wow!

(ha, I still smell it passes the bottle and I feel very strong)

Have been wearing this for a few days now. I didn't open it straight away, as was waiting for the right time to try it. Where is the vanilla?? I am waiting for it, but hardly a glimpse! I pick up the peach-fruit opening, then on to the white florals. A bit of a mixed combo, not unpleasant, but not really my style. I tried this on paper, and could smell the vanilla, no problem. Then also tested on my wrist, at the store..It was a pleasant vanilla dry down. SO of course, I bought it, (online). It isn't fake, and the staying power is very good, BUT I can't detect much vanilla at all! Another of my vanilla quests, turning out a bit disappointing! I also bought the body lotion, to increase the staying power. I bet if I give it to my daughter-in-law, It will be a fabulous vanilla scent:)) All in all, not too bad, but not one for me to rave over!

I bought this as a blind buy after reading reviews: I thought if so many liked it, it must be good. Plus I also like vanilla and peach, so I went ahead and bought this for myself from my first job's first salary :)

One spritz and my migraine zoomed back to me! Its too flowery, too synthetic on me. All I get is this strange, floor cleaner, artificial jasmine! I really wanted to like it: it was my first real expensive perfume. But sadly, it just didn't work with me.

So I swapped it with my friend for Carolina Herrera 212 VIP (which I totally love!). On her, it smelled beautiful! She's a small, petite, soft spoken girl and this perfume completely complemented her personality.

We'd gone for a movie together and she smelled lovely. There was vanilla, musk, subtle peachy-fruitiness: And that jasmine (which made me smell like cheap floor cleaner) was like part of a beautiful invisible bouquet of flowers. It was wonderful on her.

Guess my skin chemistry didn't really do the job for this, so I'd say test it out before you buy it. If it goes with you, its a very soft, lovely scent. It projects well and lasts for about 6-8 hours.

PS: The bottle is brilliant! The heavy glass simple cube-ish structure looks very sophisticated.

I like this scent...I guess. I think that it has elements of types of scents that I like but it doesn't come full circle for me. I like fresh and crisp scents with a touch of sweetness (nothing too aquatic or grassy). Although the beginning smells beautiful and elegant, after a few minutes this sharpness emerges. I am not 100% certain of what note it is because almost all the notes are significant parts of some of my favorite perfumes. It might be the lily or the chemistry between two or more other notes that don't meld together well for me. I get a very distinct soap smell after about half an hour. This is going to sound melodramatic but I feel like there is this note that almost got out of its cage and D&G weren't able to get it back in so it kind of is that annoying little sister that won't go away when you wish the other notes would be more noticeable or that the drydown would come sooner. This rarely happens but it is giving me a headache.

Also, although this has a sophisticated, elegant aspect to it (I definitely see it as a scent for a woman in her thirties or forties), it's almost too elegant for me...there is nothing "bad" about it...almost too proper or innocent for me. I wish the vanilla were sweeter or the musk more pronounced because it's missing a sexy element for me.

I am glad I did not impulse buy this because I really loved this the times that I sampled it but luckily i waited to wear it on my skin from "beginning to end" and it's definitely a no for me.

UPDATE: I tried this again today and I counted. It takes FOUR hours for the headache-inducing notes to die off before this scent softens. Although it does soften and the vanilla become a BIT more noticeable, this remains a relatively linear scent on me.

My Mom has it and she loves it! I like it more on her then on me, but thats probs becuase it more of a mature scent. It can be a bit sweet becuase its quite stong, however if u can get past that its nice for evening or day wear.

The One is a generally pleasing vanilla scent. Its quite creamy and sensuous, not too commonplace but very non-offensive. Although, something dodesn't quite sit right with me; the vanilla seems a bit watery to me, like someone added water to a bowl of cream. I've never really settled upon my opinion of it though. I probably wouldn't be buying a bottle any time soon, but I find myself coming back to it again and again.

Such a sensuous dry down, very oriental indeed! The One is mostly warm and sweet with a moderate amount of spiciness, very comforting and sexy at the same time. The lasting power is great too--for least two days!

For me it seems like this is a scent that is appropriate for a more mature woman... 30+ perhaps. I smell a soft and rich vanilla... it smells almost like honey to me. I didn't feel like I could pull it off or that it was for me though.... Even though it's sweet, it was just not what I typically go for.

Just bought it today, love it so much already! This is going to be my second favorite besides Prada Candy. The peach and vannila notes show the most on me.

I took signorina back....my boyfriend LOVED that one.....but I gotta sample of this and LOVED this one too lol...I think I really want this one. It takes a lot testing to find one that really suits you...it seems like I get sick of smells fast or I'll like them at first but then I hate them only a few I really stay liking

The One: Just for Me

The One has to be one of the softest fragrances I've come across. I can spray it and never feel overwhelmed or headachy. In fact, I love wearing it to bed. I feel my blood pressure drop when I wear The One. It is comforting and sensual.

The lingering vanilla and musk soften the what could be very annoying peach. I like how the white flowers keep The One interesting and light-handed, as this fragrance could easily fall into heavy, boring, redundant territory.

Sillage is quite low, but that is okay. The One is simply a special, secret fragrance that is for only me, my husband, and my cats. It is the perfect I-wear-it-for-me scent.

This is a lovely fragance. I thought the composition would be more complex, but surprise...it's quite simple. It's soft, creamy and elegant, intense but discreet. It's not a common or cheap fragrance either. Very sensual and classy.
I would describe it as a vanille-y, oriental/spicy floral. How could such a mixture ever go wrong? :)

I love this perfume. It opens with a touch of lychee then followed by peach and a hint of plum, and in the base the lovely vanilla. Its a classy fragrance and suitable for anny occasion.

Very nice scent. Vanilla lovers rejoice! THE ONE is fresh, powdery and lovely. Not a good choice for the seductive kitten looking a sexy fragrance. It's a beautiful and sophisticated fragrance. A charmer indeed.

I loved this on a colleague, but on my,unfortunately, it smelt like pink bubble gum.

I started out really liking this at first, but unfortunately the peach makes me nauseous. Its a lovely elegant scent but not for me . Peach does not wear well on my skin. A shame....

The One, is a warm, cozy vanilla floral-oriental. It's soft and feminine. I wear it to work in the winter. It does not offend or demand attention.

I tried this on at Christmas time - and for some reason did NOT like it. Today I tried it again because the sales associate recommended it when I stated I wanted a fresh, vanilla, powder scent with a hint of sexiness. I thought it was a tall order - but she insisted this was good - so I sprtized it and walked around. At first I was not too into it (don't care for the peach at first) then as it settled I was glued to my wrist - and after I came home my hubby said I smelled "nice with a hint of sexy" - 8) So I purchased the bottle - got a free small bottle of D & G the one - rose.

Warm, sensual and deep scent. Makes me feel sexy and confident. I use it in winter and in the colder days of spring,fall, because in the warm could be too sweet and uncomfortable. This ONE is a masterpiece from D&G, I love it.

I really expected to like The One, all the notes add up and the reviews made me think that this would be to die for, so i bought a sample and wow okay this is not what I was expecting. This is without a doubt a well made, sophisticated, deep, sweet and warm fruity vanilla fragrance. However on me all you smell are peaches and vanilla and I got that banana smell that another reviewer mentioned and since I am not a fan of peach nor bananas it made me nauseous more than anything. It's sad but I really didn't like it in the least. Skin chemistry really is a strange thing.

I LOVE the initial spritz of this one - warm, sensual and unique vanilla

but 30 minutes later it smells... old? Like it's suddenly become dusty and a bit stale.

If it retained the freshness of the initial spray I'd buy it, but sadly my chemistry doesn't work with this one.

Lovely scent
I gott a sample of this perfume and
When im wearing it its like im wearing a unique fragrance not a kind of fragrance wich ereryone wears and wich is very sensual and very sophisticated its also chique and smells confident to me

its a warm sensual vanilla and wood scent
half transparent and half full of warmth i smell a lot vanilla in it but its not creamy like other vanilla scent its more balmy-vanilla

i also thought this would be a fruity scent there are also fruity notes to the composition but very light and soft

sensual and sophisticated a nice scent suitable for office and for night out

Peach and soft vanilla, together smell like bananas to me.
It's such a soft scent, my nose can hardly detect it.
Maybe it needs a stronger base?
Pretty, warm, sweet, but unimpressive...
The One is just...bananas.

There is some sickening touch, and is a bit heavy. But, still is nice, oriental, impressive and elegant. It s good for some night festivities...like ball :D
It is great for women who are Scorpio or Capricorn in horoscope :) I have this one, but does not remain long on the skin :(
This scent is better for married women, than free :)

This is just, simply great. So incredibly delicious.
I was testing some fragrances at a perfumeshop and was kind of disappointed in nearly everything I smelled, probably due to all those scents mingled together. Then I smelled THE ONE.

And I was hooked. To me, it smelled like a refined, elegant, chic version of my all time favourite, the slightly dirty CLASSIQUE EDT, though the notes are really not that similar
I normally hate peach in fragrances, but here it just adds a little freshness, lifting up the fragrance.
It simply left me speechless.
And renewed my belief in the fragrance industry :)

The bottle also looks great. So elegant, not overdone, just simple lines. I would love to have it on my vanity.

The only reason I didn't buy it was the price. It's VERY expensive, especially for a student.
But maybe a small bottle (30 ml). Just for special occasions.

No, I HAVE to have it!

EDIT: Tested it again and well, I realized this is way too sweet for me. Sweet in a slightly unpleasant, candylike way.
So I won't buy this in the end.

the one! the one and only ever, i was not able to wear for such a reason!
first of all i m a gourmand lover and also tending in sweet oriental perfumes in general, but the one is far too sickening.
the first perfume ever i could not stand at all because of its sickening sweetness with latent needs to vomiting! the oriental touch which one could probably calm down the syrupy sweetness, on me at least, doesn't show up at all.
i gave it now 3x a go and always had to wash it off after half an hour, don't get me wrong, it smells gooood, it starts really nice juicy-fruity-sweet-foody like delicious slightly over-ripe fruits, but then it gets sweeter and sweeter and sweeter and still sweeeeeter like anything else! incredible heavy stuff.
it let's me feel like after having eat an overdose of pure marmelade and i wont eat anymore in my whole life!
the one could work well for someone who wanna lose weight, because with this stuff on, you'll not gonna be able to eat anything... don't work for me at all... such a pitty, it starts out really nice! i think this perfumes could cause also a big headeach for sensible people. caution with the one!

I can understand why people love this fragrance, I really love the bottom notes however find the top notes to be too overbearing. In fact it reminds me a little of bananas.

It does last a long time however the fragrance disappointingly just does not work for me.

Woah, this one is sweet. Extremely so.

I don't often find perfumes to be TOO sweet, but sadly, this one turns quite sickly on me. While it smells nice in the bottle, what it leaves on my skin is a ridiculously sweet orangy, plasticky vanilla with undertones of something similar to rotting fruit.

This is probably a very nice fragrance on some people (bevare though, a little goes a long way with this one!). However, much like with Gucci Flora, this just doesn't seem to work on my skin.

I really love this scent! Actually started wearing it at the beginning of last summer. Wore it in the middle of the summer too (but the european summers aren't that hot). Now in the winter I still like it a lot.
It smells just so feminine and sweet, a bit powdery and fruity (a very nicely done peach) with an amazing lasting power.

Three spritzes last you all day and the next morning there is still a little trace (especially when you spray your neck and you have long hair that strokes your neck, your hair still smells like this the next morning) of the smell remaining.
The scent just wraps around you and makes you feel feminine, flirty and a little bit sexy all day long. For me this is a feel good perfume!

A spritz of this in your cleavage also works miracles ;)

One of the best!

I have a vegan imitation oil of this. It is a very inviting scent.

I have yet to smell the original perfume. I stay true to the online sellers I buy from. I find that their cruelty free "dupes" are very affordable for me. Sorry,I do not trust that Dolce&Gabbana are a cruelty free company. Sad.

Onto the scent.......

I am smelling warm bubblegum,creamy vanilla, and gently tart,and invigorating bergamot fruit. Also there is a bowl of juicy lychee,ripe peaches,delicious! This perfume is quite gauzy and soft,very gentle. The sweetness of it smells like velvet draped on my skin.

I don't own it, but I have sprayed it on myself a few times when I've passed the perfume counter. Lol I really like it, so I'm not sure why I haven't purchased it, I don't know, maybe the price. It's a very sexy, warm, seductive scent and dare I say a classic one too. I love the fact that it's rich and luxurious smelling; my kind of perfume. I don't know, maybe I see it as a special occasion frag that won't get much use because I don't attend any special occasions. I would think the cooler months would suit this frag as it is heavy. If I can find a really good deal, I may purchase as I've had really good luck with D&G's perfumes; they last a long time on my skin and go really well with my chemistry. So, maybe one day...

EDIT: So I found a really good deal on the body lotion and I ended up buying it. I really love the shimmer it gives my skin; would be great for the summer. That being said, this really isn't as heavy as I thought it was. Maybe the heat of summer would make it even sexier. I still consider it a special occasion frag, but what the hell, why not wear it when you want to feel a little glamorous. It's actually very soft and I catch some small whiffs here and there. Glamorous, warm, cuddly, and sexy too; I'm really glad I bought it.

I tried it at Macy's last week, sprayed directly on myself. Just wanted to see how it works with my body chemistry as I liked how it smelled on the paper strip. It is beautiful powdery-sweet scent, sofisticated and very feminine. In one word, sexy. But it immediately gave me a headache which didn't go away until I washed it off. Maybe it is the sweetness and kind of heaviness (which I actually liked in this perfume) that caused the headache... I just can't wear it for that only reason. What a pity...

@nush imogen - trust me it will still be too cheap smelling - I'm over 40 and finding it the same - i'm still keeping it as there are winter days when skin chemistry works a bit better and you need a hint of vanila and amber - also needs to be used very sparingly

The One es un perfume cálido y sensual, envuelve la piel como un velo de terciopelo. Me encuentro cómoda con él y tiene buena durabilidad en la piel sin resultar intrusivo. Sin embargo es un perfume que utilizaría de vez en cuando, me gusta mucho pero no me apasiona, tal vez porque lo encuentro un poco clásico para mi.

***

The One is a warm and sensual perfume, envelops the skin like a veil of velvet. I feel comfortable with it and has good durability in the skin without being intrusive. However it is a perfume that would use from time to time, but I like my passion, perhaps because I find it a little classic for me.

The One is a fragrance rich and seductive, I would see it combined with the typical Femme Fatale, the warmth that this fragrance is truly extraordinary, but also the fruits and vanilla, but I have also caught the scent of freshly cut wood that is The One a message of pure passion, aggressive and sophisticated, gentle oasis for the senses, astral travel or daydream?
Really beautiful her bouquet, Dolce and Gabbana have hit the mark with this fragrance that I would call indicated in cold weather where the vanilla is poured out like a charm.

If you are looking for a fruity floral minus the teeny bopper appeal, but instead with a sexy, elegant even slightly glamorous appeal...this really is 'the one' ... the jasmine is soft but definently noticable, while it's rich in vanilla and fruits the drydown is pure elegant sexiness ..this is not your average beauty queen this is a prior beauty queen with brains and exquisite taste, a travelor, a reader ... a woman with her head on straight and everything in place. Well rounded gorgeous, and stunning in a delicate way.

While it definently has a warm cozy comfort factor which makes it great for colder months it also has this golden aura around it... which works well for a sexy cool summer day/night

Really original and well executed, the drydown is to die for musk/amber woods..with a slight kiss of a powdery vanilla.. and a bit of a fruity nuance...blended so well . At the top it smells of peach to me, but as it dries down the fruit is rather difficult to pick out but you know it's there..lingering softly

This one is a keeper that I will most likey re-purchase

Sillage is very decent and longevity is 6-8 hours on me... which for me is prety great... definently a winner!

Liquid gold, gorgeous,rich, yummy...sexiness
Perfect for any scarlett!

A little disappointed about this, Scarlett Johansson's ad looks less sexy than intended, the perfume smells ordinary and cheaper than it's actual price, it's too heavy .. I will try it again when I'm in my 30's, I might have different opinion then.

This is my mother's special occasion perfume. When I tried it for myself it smelled like different fruit juices one after another and I was not into it BUT! that fruity top note aspect fades between ten and twenty minutes or so and it turns very creamy, well blended and sophisticated fragrance. Just beautiful.
This one lasts quite long too.

I'm quite surprised now that I've seen its notes! It looks just like the kind of perfume I'd love but when I tried it, it smelled just like a mix of whiskey and chewing gum, very strong and seemed to last forever. I'll definitely give it another try as soon as possible!

I had it and I liked it but it was nothing special to me. Just an ordinary vanilla-soapy-fruity fragrance.
I found a lot of much better fragrances for the same price or even cheaper .

it is very syrupy. it smells like a bottle of chewable vitamin tabs...

When I smelled from the bottle it smelled gorgeous. Oriental, vanillic and a little spicy. But on my skin it smelled like bubblegum. Wierd huh?? Must be me chemistry...

I bought it because of the vanilla notes but they last very little on my skin, after some minutes I can't find the vanilla touch at all. Not my cup of tea. I gave it to my mum, it was impossible for me to finish it.

It would be my number 1 fragrance if it had stood longer. Unfortunately it doesn't last long on me.

Otherwise, it is such an attractive perfume, if you don't mind keeping the bottle with you where ever you go.

It's not bad, but definitely overrated. On first spray all I can smell is bubblegum with some fruity notes, then it faded to jasmine and the dry down was pretty nice, powdery with some soft woodsy notes. After tests I didn't find it interesting enough to buy it, it's not "the one", more like the safe and boring one.

I liked this, but at the same time it's about as interesting to me as Coach Poppy. Nice, but not nice enough to buy. It's sweet, mostly from the lychee. It quickly becomes very strong in the vanilla department, but it's a soft and elegant vanilla as opposed to a rich and luxurious one. I would buy this if the sillage was a lot stronger, but it's a bit too thin for my personal taste.

D&G THE ONE....ITS NAME SAYS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!ONE OF MY BESTS ORIENTAL.IT IS SEXY,SWEET,ELEGANT!IT HAS AN EXPENSIVE SMELL AND I USE IT ONLY AT NIGHT!I LOVE THIS. IT IS THE BEST OF D&G PERFUMES

i dont know whats wrong with this perfume or maybe its just me, i smelled it again and it reminds me of burning weed (cannabis). i also have cannabis perfume oil and this really has similar undertone.

Well, D & G invested in the marketing and in the first five minutes of the perfume. That is what one calls concentrating on the selling act. All of a sudden, it all disappears, like an illusion, leaving a nice memory of a brief instant and probably the long ad. Don't people say that beauty is ephemerous? The idea is for sure lovely.

i love it so much! it's a bit similar to Tresor, by the way,it was my first really favourite parfume. So sweet, so delicious. Unfornunately, i have only 30 ml
Love love love!!!

I was very surprised with this one. Expected it to be rather heady and heavy but it isn't. It's warm, classy and elegant. Like other people have commented it just blends into your own skin chemistry and becomes quite intoxicating and "moreish". I too couldn't stop smelling my wrist to see if it was still as good as I thought it was. Sillage and longevity are excellent - lasted a good 8 hours on me and my shirt in the morning still smelled lovely. Definitey one I will buy and use often. Similar in a way to L'Instant by Guerlain but different enough to have both of them in my perfume wardrobe. Alexandrarae

The One makes me swoon. I can sense the litchi and peach on top followed very quickly by the plum and lily. These fruits are ripe but the whole feeling is sexy and fun. The longer it wears the more serious it becomes. I'm not complaining though, it's very much like a relationship when you reach that point that you decide that you might want to make this more than a fling...that drydown that was always there but you really start to see catches you and you want to stay awhile.
We were hot and heavy for almost a whole year, through the dog days of summer when it felt like it should be forbidden, a fall, winter, and damp spring cuddling while listening to John Legend and it was great!!! Then something happened and our relationship has gone flat. I thought you were the One but I think I need some space. It's not you, it's me because I felt like the sexiest girl alive when we were together.

Not a cheap smell to me! It is a wonderfully fabulous fresh, modern and chic with a good powdery feel, real smooth and not too sweet. Avon could never do a fragrance that has a rich,silky finish like this ONE. BRAVO D&G

Soft, warm, and enveloping. Just as I expected but lighter. I wasn't expecting it to be so close to the skin, I think I was expecting more power, more strength and sillage to it. I was looking forward to testing this but unfortunately nothing else comes to my mind when I sniff it apart from what I said.

A lovely scent to use at any time.

this is a quite pleasant scent. quite elegant. but nothing va-va-voom delicious. it's just too... not attention-grabbing. i wouldn't purchase.

Everything in this has somewhat powdery character. A sweet and powdery, little fresh-fruity beginning loses these fruits after some time. If it were more foccused in vanilla, maybe could be just another one but I figured out the distinctiveness in this one is about juicy plum playing well with vanilla, besides the lily powderiness present in whole fragrance.

Vetiver comes after long: not so fresh for me; I think it's slightly bitter and sour. Despite vetiver features, the base isn't very sour neither bitter, just softens the "dusty sweet".

My mom have it and she loves to death. I think it's classy, can be used for everyday wear or night out. I think in gold when I smell this scent.

On me:
Sillage: Great
Longevity: Very Good (around 7~8h)

Very soft, too soft to make it part my rotation. I wish it were a bit spicier and had more of a spark. It reminds me of Armani Sensi a bit in how mild and soft it dries.

I really thought I was going to like this one, since I'm a fan of fruity florals, but unfortunately The One smelled really bad on my skin. It was really peachy, but too sweet and too strong...on me it smelled like the peaches were going bad!! It reminded me a bit of Nanette LePore, which I used to have (and unfortunately that one didn't really smell great on me either)but a little bit spicier. Too bad, this one got some great reviews and I was hoping to love it!

how could i let this get away. i did wear the rose this summer and just got "the one" tester from macy's. My husband and I love both the men and the woman fragrance. I want it NOW! It is just fabulous and I can't believe what I was missing in my fragrance collection! Well I must make up for lost time. BEAUTIFUL,NICE TOP NOTES and I am not really a fruity/floral type but this has warm sensual notes with a wonderful floral powdery dry down.Nice alternative to Miss Dior Cherie because of the softness Miss Dior is a little more sweet than this one but THE ONE is really fresh!

Today took a virgin spray test. AMAZING. I was in the store spraying tester strips (i often do this writing each name on strip with a pen, so I can smell later and remember which was what) When I got to the 14th fragrance (this D&G) I was blown away instantly. Drop dead gorgeous. Nice chunky heavy glass bottle. I also tested the variant ROSE but this, the original, is 'THE ONE' for me!

THE ONE gets a big yes from me . Elegant ,feminine ,yet with enough going on you dont feel like its a safe ,boring scent . Vanilla and jasmine great combo ,but you add plum,peach and lily to the mix ,I dont know what exactly I am smelling but there is a synergistic magic going on .Love it .

I didn't want to but... I like it. There's just something about this that wins me over somehow.

There is no rose in this fragrance and yet the florals come together to create just that, and non traditional rose fragrance that is less what you would imagine a perfume of roses to smell like and more like the real living rose itself. That rose is supported by a strong vetiver blended with the fruit notes (mainly lychee and plum) that creates almost a bubblegum, slightly liquorice scent. Vanilla here is not a vanilla at all, more of a powdery (though not baby powder) sweetness that's just enough to turn this feminine. Though I can imagine that with a different body chemistry this has the potential to be unisex, but for me this is more feminine (albeit a strong feminine.)

Though I didn't want to, I like it. I've never smelled anything quite like this and I would never have imagined something like this would appeal to me if it had not been pointed out by a SA. I don't know if I'll go so far as to ever own a bottle, but smelling it was quite a fun experience.

In a way, this seems like a darker, deeper, more complex, sexier, and less cloyingly sweet older sister to J'Adore Dior or Guerlain Idylle.

EDIT: The sample I received has been sitting here next to my bed and the scent just wafts over to me. I'm slowly falling for this perfume, its just so lovely!

Strong, sweet and lasts really well. The vanilla and peach are a warm cosy combination, just perfect for these chilly autumnal evenings. I also like the men's version (on men, not myself).

It is my alternative to my beloved discontinued Krazy by Krizia. It's fresh, crispy, warm and sensual. On my skin, I smell almost all of it's notes. citruses at the beginning, warm vanilla for the end.

Pour vanilla on a freshly blossomed rose in early morning when sun is coming up and sniff it from a distance; don't jump into the flower! That royal lovely peaceful scent is summarized in The One.
I can't say it's sexy but I think if a girl wear it I can't stop sniffing after her.
I tried it on paper, skin and clothe; all are perfect.
It's cakey, divine, cute, elegant, potent.
The sillage and longevity grades are on top.

The more I test this fragrance, the more I fall in love with it. When you're a vanilla-lover it's hard to resist! This fragrance isn't particularly unusual or statement-making. But I actually love that about it. It's a cuddly, toasty-warm vanilla gem. The peach and litchi blend in really nicely and bring both sweetness and a hint of light freshness. Delicate lily and sensual amber round the composition out. The One wraps you up in a soft, cozy blanket of feminine warmth. I could see this working for either daytime or a romantic evening. It's classy, comforting and elegant...I am becoming a big fan of it!

Precious ! Warm but refined scent. With a lots of amber, some fine woods and some spices... Impressive and precious. You can't be unnoticed if you wear it. it's a "WOW"perfume

Very strong perfume, though amazing. I really love this perfume, it's really distinctive. Has a mixture of vanilla, musk and a dash of fruit. A few spritzes lasts the whole day for me. Very long lasting! Lovely bottle also, very sleek and elegant.

Overall I would recommend it. Great for both day and evening, it's a really sexy scent. 4/5 :)

I like it. I call it a luxurious bubblegum ;) A sweet smell and a positive one, long lasting. It works well every season except summer, it became somehow metallic on me, except summer it's great for day and night during each season.

This one is very nice IMO. soft floral,whit a syrupy vanilla almost honey like note .Warm ,sensuel.classy,a tiny bit spice in all the sweetnes of vanilla makes it very interesting.
I tryed this a wild ago and found it to sweet and cloying in the hotes summerdays. but no that the autumn is setting in , and the days getting colder, this is superb. The only thing im a little unshure off is the staiyng power.. at first try (summertime)this lasted for so so long . Now it seams like it fades pretty fast. more off a skin scent.hm.. possible do to the cooler air??
This is not unlike the One Rose . it has the same vanilla base. I love them bouth.

The marketing for The One touts 14 different notes: a rich array of florals, fruits, musk, vetiver, and finally, at the very end, they mention, almost apologetically, "vanilla."

I'm sorry, but all I get is vanilla, top, middle, and bottom, left to right, first squirt to the final trace: nothing but vanilla. (Maybe a touch of peach.)

Not that that's bad. I like vanilla. And it's done very well here. The texture is warm, milky, not too dusty or dry like other nutty or vanilla type perfumes. It's even. It glows.

This is for a girl who is indolent, soft, pleasing accessible. Scarlet Johansson is a good choice. It's the sexiness of laziness.

So I thought I should review this because my thoughts seem to be quite different from most here.
Unfortunately, I don't get much vanilla from this at all, it was an online purchase because I was so sure I would love it (always spray before you pay!) because I usually love anything with vanilla (Addict(!!), Hypnose, Hypnotic Poison, Armani Code etc) bar anything too heavily sweet. When I spray I just get a kind of soapy, sweet, floral scent and no vanilla at all. Have sprayed in hot and cold weather, on skin or clothes and just can't get it to work for me. All my friends love it though, and it seems to work for most people, so I can see I'm in the minority! Just a pleasant, light, air freshener kind of scent to me..can definitely pick out something a bit syrupy like honey, nothing offensive by any means and skin chemistry can work wonders, so don't be discouraged by my unfortunate encounter.

Stunning and luxurious! One of my absolute favs! Elegant and feminine, lasts forever and will garner you all the right kind of attention.

still a nice modern originall super cuper fragrance like a lot the fresh vanill sweet but not too sweet smell of the one like a muffin and cream

An odd multi-dimensional middle-aged scent..

The first 1-2 minute is quite sweet and quite promising....

2-30 mins: The smell of female under arm Body Odour...it is so close to BO, it is hilarious

30 mins - 1 hour: Middle age female scent(45 years old) with an edge of vanilla

1 hour - The end: Vanilla more prominent, could be considered a classy vanilla scent, some similarity in comparison to Dior Dior Homme Intense Original Version, if compared to a male scent, has the vanilla smoky powdery hallmarks, but a sweetness remains which runis the vanilla.. The drydown is the best part

An experience to say the least, not for me, but I can understand why this will appeal to some

The best thing in The One is the drydown. For such a heavy vanillic fragrance the dry down is surprisingly fresh and young! Yesterday I used the roll-on on my arms, had a shower and afterwards, I was surprised I was smelling something wonderful and did not know what it was... I discovered later on it was the remaining of The One on my showered skin. I have to say this particular drydown is excellent, much better than the opening notes, which I find a bit too common and just plain sweet. This is indeed a nice and powerful fragrance, but I have to say on me it lasts a lot and it has a great sillage - probably it suits my chemstry ! I don't find it uplifting and light at all, I don't find it entirely gourmand, but merely a cross between a light oriental and a vanillic one. In my oppinion, Giselle suits better this perfume compared to Scarlett Johansen. Giselle is a true diva, while the other one, well, not so much ...
I don't know why would D&G market The One as the perfume for a dumb blonde, when it is nothing of the sort !

I usually like more flowery scents but this is an exception. I was surprised at reviews that this is a light and not lasting fragrance, as it seems strong and lasting on me. I have to put it on very lightly underneath my clothes but I can smell a hint of it all day and it's very nice. It seems different, almost masculine to me but very classy.

I am rediscovering this perfume, and have found that it's much better than I originally thought.

The One opens up with a heavy dose of peaches, fruits, and vanilla. One could almost think of it as a vanilla ice-cream fruit salad which borders on being too syrupy. However, after a short while, it begins to morph into a more diverse combination of vanilla, powder, fruits, white flowers, amber, and a bit of musk. Needless to say, I love this perfume most when it settles down, as it's then that The One's beauty shines through.

In an old post, I wrote that The One smells too much like Black Pearls by Elizabeth Taylor. However, if I were to compare this scent to others now, I'd say it's more of a cross between Burberry Woman/Lancome Hypnose/Black Pearls.

This scent is very, very comforting to me, yet at the same time, quite fresh, too. A very warm, soft, classy perfume. I'm growing to appreciate its beauty more by the day.

To start with, I find D&G perfumes lacking in staying power and sillage, even the scents are not so memorable. Rose The One in one of the most beautiful rose scents for me, but since staying power and sillage are lame I never hesitated at purchasing...
On the other hand I'm in love with The One for Men and read a couple of good reviews about The One so I spontaneously reached for the tester bottle in the drugstore. I was very surprised how much I loved the scent. At the top I really got a tiny hint of bubble gum that I haven't tasted since my childhood (maybe the ones who disagree live in a country where this kind is not sold). It showed up a minute after spraying and disappeared in 2 minutes. Possibly I just mistaked litchi for bubble gum. I liked it anyway.
Later on the scent was just heaven. It's quaint, I'm an oriental woody, misterious, strong scent lover kind but for some reason The One captured me with it's casual artlessness. The One is of high standard.

A warm peachy vanilla. Thick and delicious for spring and colder months. Sweet but not gourmand. Sexy yet innocent. The bottle, heavy vintage. Love.

this is a very mild fragrance..but it doesn't suit me!! but its pretty good!! a bit of honey,lemon and a hint of cinnamon..but the vanilla is a bit hard to find! its a very outgoing fragrance!! and sexy too!!

I seriously dislike this perfume, it smells like wet paper, slightly rotten peaches, and greasy hair dominated by overpowering vanilla. Quite a strange scent, I'd say.

Dolce & Gabbana- The One.

Beautiful.
Absolutley F*cking Beautiful. The vanilla in this fragrance makes it very sexy and very womanly. I smelt this on a friend a couple of weeks ago and i assumed it was Flora by Gucci (which is another wonderful fragrance) but when she told me she was wearing "The One" i had to rush out and purchase a bottle for myself. While the drydown does a walk a similar line as Flora. The One is unique and sexier in its own right giving off a sense of confidence and what i feel is...endless possibilities. Lasting Power is excellent.

Just got this and am wearing it for the first time today. I read the reviews and, of course, they run hot and cold. I am somewhere in between after two hours of wearing 'The One'.

I did use the perfumed body lotion with it hoping to give it some oomph as a base. I have very dry skin and need a base for most perfumes.

My verdict is mixed.....liked it when first applied but it seems to be fading real fast....my husband says the silage is almost non-existent. :-(

There is not the first perfume that I have this reaction to.....I will give it a few more days of wearing it to come to any definite conclusion....pretty pricey for a couple of hours of scent. Stay tuned.

More fruity in the heart I think but floral in the top notes....right now, I think it is the drydown....a little floral/spicy (oriental) to my nose. The best fragrance of the lot.

This is a nice and versatile sweet, fruity-vanilla, effortless and chic, casual but classy...very modern, polished and pretty.

A co-worker of mine oversprays this almost on a daily basis, and I thought it smelled like she had just soaked herself in a tub of pear syrup (not really in a bad way:)...honestly, I actually imagined her being a warm baked pear powdered with icing sugar (I did not know what was her perfume at the time). Why pear? I don't know, maybe the combination of peach, litchi, florals and vanilla smell like creamy, sugared pear to my nose? I personally feel like it'd work better if she could tone it down, but overall I must admit that she does smell quite luscious, and some days she would spray just the perfect amount, and WOW, amazing!!! Not heavily sugared pear anymore, but effortlessly chic and sweet, fruity-floral vanilla. I just had to ask her what her perfume was.

Now that I've tried it on my own skin, I will say that it really is very nice! Under the sweet, usual fruits, flowers and vanilla, the amber adds an opulent, cozy and 'fluffy' quality, and the vetiver gives the scent a clean feel and stops it from becoming too stuffy or warm. It is really great as an everyday scent. A classy vanilla, that's what this perfume is. Would I buy this? Well, this is my co-worker's scent so even if I buy it, surely I will not make it my signature, nor will I wear it around her. She is a very kind woman and has become a good friend of mine, so I will remember her by this delightful scent.

Update: This is quite a long-lasting scent. However, I understand why my co-worker tends to overspray this one...she re-sprays often because her nose has gotten so accustomed to the scent that she does not smell it on herself as well I do on her, 4-5 hours later she thinks the scent has disappeared and she reaches for her 'One', but I am sitting across her and I can still smell it on her, quite strongly too. So girls, we can still smell you, don't worry! This is sometimes the case with other perfumes too, as many of you know. The real lasting power of this scent is infact, not too shabby...a solid 6-7 hours :) more on clothes. Tip: If you want to better smell this on yourself, Try spraying in your cleavage next time, and you will find the scent wafting up to your nose at random moments throughout the day.

I have wanted this for a while now but for a little bottle it comes with a BIG price especially here in New Zealand. I will save my penny's

The floral notes were initially gorgeous, but this dried down to a very gourmand mix of notes on me. Moderate sillage and excellent lasting power.

As it has a complex, sumptuous concept, I find the luxurious spray as tremendously suitable to wear with smart suits for office or business travel. Of course, all fragrances from designer’s house in question are labeled as the one with strong, authoritative character, but nonetheless, exotic fruity-floral scent combines with the natural chemistry of my skin as extremely warm, sensual and concordant.

I love the way how structured, particular arrangement starts with refreshing, airy opening of delicious, gay basket of fruits; optimistic, pungent mandarin and bergamot, glowing litchi and fleshy, ripe contentment of juicy peach. Furthermore, it fuses adorable with attenuated, soothingly mild and ecstatic heart, casting romantic jasmine that flirts candidly with innocent lily of the valley and white lily, all going perfectly together with darker, purifying fruity trace of plum. Being head over heels in love with vanilla, I am mesmerized by it’s both relaxing and comforting effect, substantially profiled in sweet, powdery to woodsy base, increasingly enhanced with calming and protective tropical vetiver and velvety musk. Voluptuous, provocative and sexually alluring composition in dignified, deep golden color mirrors conclusively the very tone of excellent, superior concoction.

What I do appreciate most, is its implausible torridness without spiciness, all but cloying sweetness and reviving, unobtrusive persistence that lingers faithfully and reliably for longest time on my skin, in my hair, clothes and in considerable part of my surroundings. Perhaps the famous one was indeed both formulated and intended for an exceptional woman who attracts attention and commands with her pose and manners; however, I swear to feel it exploding with divine femininity, most delicate softness and gentleness.

Like with all designer fragrances, The One is not on the cheaper side; but after verifying the tester in the shop, I suggest to consider on-line buy to take advantages of some most incredibly discounted offers.

I just love The One!

The One was one of the first scents I wanted to sample last year when I started this crazy hobby. I wound up with 2 1.5 ml samples, one of which I swapped away. My initial impression was that it was syrupy sweet, too loud, and not something I could ever wear. I felt totally self-conscious wearing it so I stashed away my sample and didn't wear it for many months.

Well, I broke out that sample this last week and wore it several days and have really warmed up to this well-made scent. I don't find it cloying at all. No, this baby is smooth, well-blended and deep, with a distinct progression from opening, heart and base notes.

It has a gorgeously fresh citrusy opening (that must be litchee), with a warm, nutty and fruity-floral heart that lasts forever. The base is deliciously smooth, rich and sweet. It has great sillage, although I wouldn't call it a monster by any means, if you're careful not to over-apply.

The One has grown on me although, I would not wear it every day, so I still have to decide if it's FBW. But it is definitely a strong like for me....almost a love...almost.

Edited to add: Okay, now it's been scooched up to my "want" list. Very classy and comfortable. Some scents just need to grow on you a bit and this one certainly has grown on me. And it is perfectly wearable for summer, too.

Bought this on whim. So happy I used the testers before opening the box - really didn't sit well with my skin. Way too warm and syrupy. I'm all about elegant and sophisticated, but this smelled a little "old" on me. Needed some fresh notes, I think, maybe something green to mix it up. It lasted all day, though, and it didn't give me a headache, but when I would catch whiffs of it, it was too HEAVY on the sweet. Also, not a very distinctive scent.

This is very sensual slash warmth I also think it has a hint of dirty but casual cent in it .. maybe it’s just me but let me know if you think so too!!
I just feel like wearing short cut-off jeans whenever im in this and never ever want it to fade off

Wonderful and classy. Easy to wear. Less sweet than L'eau the one - and I think thats perfect for me. Nice flowers and the base gives me nice amber, vanilla and musk. Great scent.

Härlig och klassik doft som är enkel att bära. Mindre söt i framtoningen än L'eau the one, vilket jag tycker är bra, jag gillar inte för söta dofter. Fräscha blomnoter och basen ger mig en rejäl dos amber, vanilj och musk. Jättehärlig!

Warm, soft, sensual, classy, modern, elegant, romantic, sophisticated, luxurious golden fragrance!
The most prominent note to my nose is vanilla. I smell a tiny hint of peach and some white florals but this is mostly overpowered by the vanilla base.
I’m not usually a fan of oriental fragrances but this one won me over as it has a kind of softness quality to it that doesn’t make this your average dark heavy oriental.
‘The One’ is specially made for special occasions in the evenings for those cooler months.
The sillage and longevity are both great!
And it comes in a beautiful golden heavy glass bottle!

I only had to smell this one time and I was like, OMG,I've GOT to have a bottle of this. I've never gotten so many compliments from other people when I wear this. It truly works with my chemistry and I will always have this in my possesion. It's sweet, sexy and classy all at once.

I'm smelling it right now & right off the bat I don't like it. I don't *hate* it, I just find it too floral. The notes I smell strongly are vanilla, lytchi & the scent of a lot of flowers mixed together. If you like really sweet floral scents, you will love this. It's just not my taste.

Oh, I like this one and I like to wear it in a summer. It opens up very creamy and sweet on my skin, I get many compliments when I wear it. I don’t wear it in a winter even though it’s more of a winter scent because it’s a sweet fragrance, it opens up sweet but not in a good way, I smell dusty vanilla on me on winter days. I definitely recommend it to those who like sweet vanilla scents.

its sweet......in a unique way
funny but it reminds me of when u go inside a patisserie (cake shop ) the air inside has the same smell :)

i got this one out of boredom, sorry but too much ads, whenever i flip a channel i see it, i got up and said "fine, i'll buy it!!!", i expected too much out of this one, it's not bad but it's not THE ONE either, why? because whenever the scent develops, it reminds me of another fume, i smelled L'Instant, Guess, i even got some Avon fumes like Tomorrow and the combination of peach/vanilla at some point is a great reminder of refreshing ice sheers... not that i hate any of those fumes, on the contrary, i love them all and even have them; but to be the one, it must be a unique and unmistakable scent; the bottle is wonderful, the scent itself is good of course (i'm even wearing it now) but not for special events & whatnot, for me, it's a light oriental floral fume with some hints of sweet notes here and there throughout the journey the spritz takes till its complete musky dry-down, lasts for a couple of hours and smells good but that's it... still searching for the ONE ;)

I have to add something to my review on this one. All day I wore this one day this week and kept thinking what does this smell like, because it reminded me greatly of a perfume I already own, and I finally figured it out... it reminds me a great deal of L'Instant De Guerlain. Funny enough, I think The One actually is stronger and has more sillage on my skin. I will also say after wearing this frag all day I didn't like it so much anymore. I really hate to admit it, but I think it actually became kind of cloying, and I really just wanted it off. A bit disappointed, maybe it's just a little too strong

Love it! Soft, sexy luxury, with a touch of mischief. ;)
It gently envelops you...sophisticated, but has something naive about it, sort of like Matisse's paper cut-outs. Also curiously reminds me of a lightly sweetened pink bubble-gum (not in a bad way though).

The One... very well made fragrance I think. I have to compare The One a little bit to Hypnotic Poison, but not in smell.. its the way Hypnotic Poison upon first applying I think it smells awful... but then it opens up into deliciousness when you wait for it. The one is like that for me. Upon first spray I thought what did I get myself into.. I hate it.. and then lo and behold in a very short amount of time, the beauty came out and I was addicted. I literally can't stop smelling my arm because of how good it smells. This is definetely a gem, and I'm glad I bought this one

LOVE LOVE LOVE!! So classy! I prefer to wear it in the summer nights or when I simply want to feel glamourous! It's a little lady-like for me, you have to look classy and proper when you wear it:)

A nice inoffensive scent, this one. Very pretty with a strong floral element to it throughout, drying down to a powdery, slightly woody finish. I wasn't able to detect any of the fruity elements listed. It's bright, cheerful and noticeable without being heavy, but to me it's just average. A conventional, polite and middle-of-the-road fragrance.

WOW! I LOVE this perfume! I have many and this would top my list! I just tried it on today to see how it mixed with my chemistry, and im so surprised on its lasting power! its been over 9hrs now and i still smell it! AMAZING!!! Next on my list!!!

Imagine you are sitting - no, lounging - in a garden cafe on a warm, golden afternoon, sipping peach iced tea and savoring a caramel sundae. You are the best-dressed, most successful person there, completely at ease. Women want to be you, men want to be with you. The world is your oyster...but you're so fabulous you don't even care - you're just enjoying your sundae.

That's The One.

Sadly, the effect only lasts about 2 hours, and reapplying doesn't work - the vanilla builds up and throws everything off. But this is a great One to have in your arsenal for those moments when you need a double shot of relaxed confidence and poise.

Some people do not believe in the concept of The One. Instead they cite that we have many possible soulmates, any one of which we are free to commit to and build a life and a shared history together, the more time and sharing, the more love will grow.
These people have obviously NOT MET THE ONE. The one whose eyes you immediately recognized from the life before this one. The one who sucks your soul out of your eyes. The one who literally makes your heart feel hot as if you are on fire within. Warmth permeates your being. The One that will make you insane with love and leave you eternally bereft if they abandon you. You will never love another, you want to die, you will pine for the rest of your life. Death will be a mercy and life is only bearable with hope.
Perhaps this will grow on me, it's lovely and sweet, but the aura is not warm and magnetic enough. History will not serve to meld us, we might rub along, but ultimately the memory of That One True Love will sour things. I wish I loved you. That's the kindest thing that I can say.

For me this is the most sophisticated perfume in my collection. I wear this when I want to feel like a star, when I wear the prettiest clothes I have. It is so soft but beautiful and I can feel it surrounding me all day.

This is really great, I love orientals, and this one especially because it feels light enough to use in the day, but i feel like i can spritz this on and feel sexy at night too. Its very sophisticated, and I love the vanilla notes and the lilly. I wish i could find it cheaper because I would love to wear this all day and get extra spritzes throughout the day too!

the fruity top notes reminds me of my fancy pencil eraser when i'm on elementary school :)
on my skin it smells smooth, luxurious (agree with moonwalker) powdery flowery vanilla, which i love.

I had always overlooked this perfume because I saw that my classmate wore it... silly me. I have recently got this fragrance as a sample with one of my purchases and I fell in love. And now that I have managed to spill the sample all over me and my bed and I am starting to get a headache I have decided to write a review.

The perfume is nice blend of sweet and spicey. Of vanilla and fruits. For me, it smells luxurious. But not in the way the Chanels do. The Chanels (at least for me)smell luxurious but kinda detached. You can look and admire but you cannot touch. The one smells luxurios but inviting, more friendly I guess.

There is something sligtly synthetic in the composition but it is really easy to overlook.

The sillage and lasting power are great on me. I would definitely recommed to use this with a light hand (I hope that I will be able to enjoy this perfume also after my spilling accident).

nothing special,indeed...not exactly the one,but another
indifferent fragrance from the D&G fragrance range.I'd prefer the masculine version,instead.

Sweet and powdery....to my nose, it's desperately striving to be something between Shalimar and L'instant, but of course it cannot compete with Guerlain. Nice, but definitely overrrated. Good for casual wear, but doesn't rank high enough to be a special occasion fragrance.
I own a large bottle but it's going to last forever, because I have by far more sophisticated fragrances in my collection to wear.

Smells really good! It's powdery, sweet and spicy! Very sexy and feminine. It reminds me of Hanae Mori Butterfly. They smell VERY similar to me.

I have consistantly found this scent to dissappoint me. It just doesnt last and is a little soft, I still love it though, its very sensual.
today while spritzing Rubies and Diamonds to remember Liz, I had an idea and spritzed them together..
PHOOAA! really impressed, they beautifully complemented and tempered eachother!
If you own these two please give it a try and inbox me your feelings!

one of my all time faves. Reminds of talcum powder for some reason! Not offensive or too strong in any way, just a gorgeous feminine smell. You could wear it anywhere and its perfect for work because no one would hate it. The only down side to it is that it doesn't last long :( If you wear it on a night out you have to re-apply it after a couple of hours and considering the price you would think it would last longer. Also reminds me of Chanel Allure but The One isn't as OTT.

Hum ... I thought the problem was me, but obviously the marketing around The One is the reason why so much attention has being directed to this fragrance ...
Impeccable bottle, perfect color, but somehow the notes do not dance all together. At the drydown, somehow, is greedy and yummy...

-Not a classic, but then again, which one would be so among the time is an open question.

REVIEW FOR O.V. EDP.

He leído muchísimas opiniones positivas sobre este perfume, por lo que me anime a probarlo y en un primer momento me gusto mucho, sin embargo al transcurrir los minutos fue cambiando hasta que se me hizo desagradable olerlo en mi piel, cambio totalmente. Me siento hasta culpable por no poder compartir una opinión favorable de este perfume. Definitivamente no es para mí, ni es lo que esperaba.

I have read many positive reviews on this perfume, so it encouraged me to try and at first I really liked, but the passage was changing the minutes until I was unpleasant smell in my skin, completely changed. I feel guilty for not being able to share a positive view of this perfume. Definitely not for me, not what I expected.

The one is a perfume that hits from the first moment, fruity blend of fantastic and attractive output is nice, modern, fruity fragrance , very chic, with a fresh and sweet at once. And the great background, and lost lasting. A fragrance that stands out.
However, when you use it for a while, at least in my case just throwing in need of something, a part is too recognizable and common so even if at first I liked, I have not buy it.
I think that is one of those perfumes that smell in people (that-smell!) and said: UHHHM !!! the one, but nothing more.


Perhaps it was the moment : (

My God this does not smell as good as I remember it!
This fragrance has some unmistakably synthetic smell between the fruits and the vanilla. Maybe it's the poor take on lily of the valley, or maybe it's the musk. But something is making this perfume smell horrible too me.
The One for men is much better, altough it's heavier and of course less sweet, at least it doesnt smell like chemicals, vanilla and fruit.

An amazing perfume, unforgettable and addictive. It smells like honey, spices and vanilla on my skin. I don't get any floral notes, nothing playful or sugary about it. More Giselle Bundchen than Scarlett Johansson:)

The One's olfactive group is somehow confusing to me as there is hardly anything oriental about it.
To me it is balancing in between floral and floral green group.
It is likeable but I was expecting something memorable, perhaps something that would make this fragrance truly THE ONE to me.
The One is all about litchi, jasmine and lily of the valley on a hazelnut-alike base.
No peach, no plum, no vanilla.
The One is rather a mature fragrance that would appeal to mature, elegant ladies.
Personally, I am not that fond of it and my husband's association when smelling it was that of smelling a quality hairspray. A quality, but still, hairspray.
Well, I have no intention to smell like this, that is why I am leaving my The One bottle for later. I will allow it to hibernate in my wardrobe for few weeks and when I come back to it after that time, I may possibly change my mind.
For the time being - I am so not wearing it.

Definitely not unique one, The One, there is lot scents similar to it.
After one hour it chokes me with chemical smell, I am totally disappointed.
At same time I tested J.P.G. Madam- black one, and I felt same...it has to me my body chemistry not to stand them.

Soft and nice, but definitely not unique. Fruity in the opening, it lingers on my skin with a soft musky vanilla in the dry down. Good for daytime, good for work, not offensive at all.

Sadly, it's not "the one", it's only "one of them".

When The One first came out, I was dying to try it. The name, the gorgeous sleek bottle -a perfume should definitely look like this...- and D&G's reputation got me all excited, I was thinking finally I was going to have that "One Perfume". However, I can't tell you how disappointed I was when I tried it. It was all about a burst of citrus garden fruits at first, then really ugly something, then soft and a little bit of something beautiful, then quite repulsive again and then a nicer dry down... The ficklest fragrance I've ever sniffed, I was like "Hmm, it's good, I guess..." at first and then five minutes later I was saying "Ughh this is horrific...". I was disappointed so I kept well away from The One for years since then.

A few days ago however, I was trying out some perfumes and I don't know what urged me but I wanted to try The One once more. Sprayed it on the arm of my coat and on my wrist. At first, it was nothing special, just a burst of fizzy fruits. But then it turned into an incredibly sweet, soft, nice and catchy scent that I kept sniffing my coat all the way back home and even when it was hung on the hanger :) Though I must say it's not ground breaking or surprising or unique by any means. It's just soft and nice. Very nice. But that's all to it. I'm still on the lookout for "The One Perfume".

I can smell peach,vanilla and jasmin clearly here.It is a lovely perfume,probably one of the best vanillas out there.Great for winter.

Not bad, I like it. I don't love it but I like smelling it as long as I am not wearing it myself. It is too sweet for me to wear. I prefer Rose The One.

i havet my opinion before but now completly i change becoze on me its smell great and fabulos its a superb creation as all the D&G i take bak the farmaceutic smell vhat i wreated before abouth the One no no no its just great beautiful fragrance sweet and creamy very good ,modern long lasting fume!!!

i like this very mutch ! it's delicious and very promising fruity and syrupy at the top, then it becomes smoother and creamy, those hints of powdery white petals and sweet-sour succulent plum paired with nice vanilla trails, warmed up with a subtle musk base.

this isn t any risk to be overbaring at all.... i sillage very nice while it lasts... considered to spray it on clothes and hair to have better staying power.
on my skin about 5 hours only... and this is edp! from an edp i expect not having to reapply during the day. too bad at this point but anyway such a great fragrance which can easely distinct from others due its top- and heartaroma. less the drydown - it's sweet and foody but nothing unique though...

add. note: i decided that this one is way too sweet for me and normally i love sweetness but this one is just too mutch for me. it lacks of something calming down or diffusing the sweetness. the longer i wear it the longer it disturbs me to smell like a burned-sugar-stick... can t explain otherwise.

love the add with Giselle Buenchen. the perfume smells indeed like she could smell - sometimes... xD

Very Interesting scent! It is deep and long lasting. I'm satisfied! ;)
But if you happen to try "Rose the One" they have a big similaries upon the opening of the scent. Only this, is with vanilla, a bit sweet.
I find "The One" sexy, modern, glamourous, warm without being cloying. It evokes an exploding femininity creating a distinct, audacious signature. I love it's drydown, it is beautiful warmth of vanilla and sweetened ambery-musk notes that is never over powering.
This scent is so delicious. I kept sniffing myself all day long. I finally found "the one"!!! Highly recommended!

There is something about ‘’The One’’ that smells exactly like ‘’Sicily’’ to me, but I never fell in love with "Sicily", at least not like I have with ‘’The One’’. This perfume smells like a decadent Italian dessert that has been toasted to a golden brown and is just mouthwatering delicious. I smell banana’s, whip crème, coconut milk, honey, strawberries, peach champagne, sweet frothy vanilla, and the cleanest amber in this perfume. I guess if I tried hard enough I could discern the floral notes, or even the listed notes, but they don’t scream out at me.

The One is very elegant, sophisticated, warm, cozy and just golden on my skin. I personally would not wear this to University, or to work. I think it’s too romantic, very sensual and perfect for evenings. On my skin it ends up being a very fresh, almost innocent vanilla skin scent...it's true love.

it is very good but surprize-i feel in the the end something medical or i dont know but leather he becam much strong and yea medical smell like farmaceutic

This was received as a Christmas gift and will more than likely be repurchased in the future.

The fragrance is very different from the bottle. The bottle screams big, classic and probably something your mother would wear but it is something entirely different inside. (Quite frankly having Scarlett Johansson with all her bustiness and sultry looks replete with red lips is a bit misleading for anadvertising campaign with a fragrance like this.) There is a very gentle sweetness to this fragrance with the lychee and peach mingling with the rose and lily notes. The result is soft but consistent in its delivery, which is inviting but in an innocent way. I'm drawn to this fragrance because it is fresh and clean but without smelling like soap. It is floral but without smelling like a flower shop and is sweet without the annoying sugar high so many fragrances tend to induce.

If you're looking for something uber sexy and seductive like Angel, Lolita Lempicka, etc., you will not be impressed with this fragrance. If, however, you're looking for something appropriate for work, school, after work drinks, you will find this fragrance reassuring because it will allow you the ritual of applying the scent but without the worry of feeling you have overdone it. Or are wearing something terribly inappropriate.

I looove these type of scents! Warm, fruity and floral all at the same time. This is one of my most sensual scents. Even though I'm not one to use fragrance that much after seasons this one I rarely use during summer, It's more of a autumn/winter fragrance.

I'm using my 2.-nd bottle while having Dior Addict since Christmas :) I got compliments from many people. Its great for evening for summer for any occasion. It's sweet but not too much 'cause it's soft and bit freshy. I love it and all my friends knew me under this fragrance! If I wouldn't be that kind of person who'd need to change perfume after some period I'd use it for sure with 3.-rd bottle...But probably get back to this one buing 3-rd bottle after 2 years :) ! It lasts really long time it's a good quality perfume that I didnt find in Versaces...

I bought The One body lotion and took few testers of this perfume. I found it very similar to my Flora by Gucci EDP, but without citruses in the opening. The same soft and weak scent. Both got very poor lasting power and very classy heavy bottles with golden lids (it really misleads me, because this posh bottles makes people think that it's a fragrances for special occations).
I don't like The One because it's extremly soapy (smells like an expencive soap on me). I can wear it only as a bedtime fragrance or afterbath fragrance.
The One is quite popular in my city, three of my closest friends wear it. I appreciate their choise, but will never buy The One for myself.

D&G The One is literally the one. Unique, elegant, seductive. Like it says it is for atractive self-confident woman who knows what she wants. And yeah guys love it <3<3

It's a very appealing floral, but it is just not that interesting. But, it's a very safe choice, and it is far better than the rose version.

I was really amazed at how beautiful this scent was on me. From what I saw of the notes, I thought that I wold be deluged with the scent of the Jasmine. For some reason, when perfumes contain a jasmine note, the Jasmine will scream with my chemistry. What I think actually tamed the Jasmine was the Lily factor.
Interestingly enough when I think of Lily, I think of the strong Lily that I smell around Easter. In some there is a sweetness that is not cloying in the same way that tuberose is, but has some of the sweetness that one would find in tuberose.

OK, more about THE ONE'. I definitely would not consider it fruity as some of the previous critiques have mentioned, but once again, it is my chemistry to which I refer, so either way it was a pleasant surprise.

Interestingly enough, when I first put it on, it actually smells closer to ROSE on me, similar to some of thee sweeter rose smells that have a slight pepper contour to them.
I have to say I really like it. The vanilla and amber really give it a nice rounded quality.
If I am looking to wear something feminine without being girly-girly, this is definitely a scent that I will keep in my collection for those special moods.

Smells like summer to me, not in a sunscreeny way but like cool sand and the clear sea and the breeze through sunlit coastal trees and blossoms...

I don't find it very sweet and I'm not a big fan of sweet. My impression is of light with a little warmth, a hint of something golden and not-quite-spicy that sits nicely on my skin. A scent just feminine enough in a way that isn't trying too hard. Makes me feel like a coolly sexy woman, the sort that travels alone and might be found relaxing in linen on some shaded patio surrounded by green fronds and white blossoms and the sound of water. Walking the streets of Sevilla in a white dress in the evening. The men she does business with talk about her scent after she leaves.

It goes everywhere. Professional enough for work, yet with a definite underlying sensuality. I tried to make it my signature summer scent, but it's really become my all-the-time go-to.

This is my 3rd attempt at reviewing The One, my last two reviews landed goodness knows where! I'll sum up incase this review decided to not show up also...I love this stuff!!! I just need to be very light handed in application or I get a major headache. I apply with a Q-tip that I've sprayed once then apply lightly to my wrists, in between my breasts, behind my ears and near my belly button....perfect! I can smell it wafting around me all day, it's a long lasting perfume even if not applied heavy handidly. Yummy stuff!

Safe, fruity floral. Easy everyday scent in the colder months for an office, but I still think there are better out there.

For me, vanilla dominates in the base. Sillage is good, but this is no cheap celebrity fragrance.

I believe D&G wanted a perfume that no one could really dislike. I think they achieved that, but lacks the sucker punch to turn this from an average to a good perfume.

In my opinion, too safe, a bit boring.

Nice, pleasant perfume. Suitable for all occasions; work, school, evening out. This would be a safe gift for any woman. Sillage and lasting power is average.
Don't love it or hate it, it's merely ok.

My husband wore The One for men. I loved this woody smell. So I purchased The One for women : when I tested it at the shop it seemed to be a good choice. It was modern and sweet, seductive. But at home, after a few hours, all these scents vanished : the lasting power is not so good and I was very disappointed.

HIIIZ
this is my second reveiw here :)
i just sprayed (the one) on my hand .. it's so lovable ,MODERN class O.o
opens with the sweetness of peach & litchi ,, after some time you can smell the charm of (jasmin & lily of the vally)
and the drydown is so warm mix of vanilla , amber , musk & vetiver
from the top till the drydown notes it SCREAMS (UNIQUE)..
but The staying power is not perfect,, i will buy the lotion also to develop the smell .. :)

I don´t know why, but on me, The One keeps giving me this weird hint, sort of metallic, a strange sourness like a mix of coriander or another herb,Sad cause I LUUUV it on others,such an opulent and warm concoction!! Guess my body chemistry curses me on this one...
......................................................
No sé porqué , pero en mi, The One se mantiene aportanto esta rara estela, como metálica,una extraña acidez como una mezcla de cilantro y otra hierba, es triste porque amo percibirlo en otros, que elixir tan opulento y cálido. Imagino que mi química corporal me maldice en este...

This is lovely but by the time the top note is gone, it smells just like Fancy by Jessica Simpson - on my skin anyway. I do own Fancy and I like it... so no point in buying this one too. Give Fancy a sniff if you fall inlove with this.

Crisp, warm, golden, fresh & fruity vanilla. It smells just like its shiny gold color. A beautiful honey creamy vanilla! Yum!

My only complaint is it doesn't last on my skin. L'eau The one does a better job, so I bought that one instead.

Well... As I said several times ...Im not a huge fan of oriental floral perfumes.... Buth this one rocks... Omg.... Its soooo warm without being spicy or sweet candyish sugary like other perfumes maded those days .
It reminds me of honey. Yes honey...blended with yasmine and mandarine orange ...

Its simple...yet very unusual. It makes feel sexy and bold

Perfect for cold winter days and for 25+ years old ladies.

Great lasting power on me...and great sillage

This is a very soft and class smell ,, it's really the one of all d&g perfumes that you can buy without thinking :)
but i wish if it had stronger lasting power..

edit : liked the advertisement alot ,, i love gezelle ..

I love The one!!! One of my favorite perfumes!
I'm one the second bottle even though it is too expensive.
Men love it! So many compliments!
Elegant, sexy, feminine, words are not enough to describe it!
At first it's peachy and fruity.
Then it is more floral and at the end you will love the vanilla!
Staying power is great.
It is a really unique scent, famous among the women!
A real masterpiece for your collection!

It smells delicious on someone else, but unfortunately not on me :-)
It tends to leave a slightly smell of like "make up powder" on my skin, a scent i do not prefer to have on me all day.

Warm, rich and sexy. Good staying power on me. A bit citrusy tart at first, then becomes sweeter. But not sugary sweet. Ambery dry down. Great for cooler weather.

I had a sample of L'eau The One Edt and found something watery banana in there that I liked, so decided to check it out in a store. They didn't hav it but suggested I try The One instead and against better judgment I bought this in a version with a way too heavy purse size refill with four vials.

It took me a long while to decide to like The One and probably the main reaon is that the name "The One" to me is so much the opposite of my perseption of the scent - it's so anonumous! One Of Them might be more descriptive ;) Bad me.

It is, however, a really high quality scent, well balanced, warm and luxurious, versatile, classy, modern, reliable, safe. But not very interesting. And a bit heavy on the vanilla maybe.

Maybe it's worth noting that this scent actually tastes good! Most I've tried taste bitter or something if you manage to get a bite of the air while spraying or licking yor wrist.. The One tastes really great and flowery :) *checks INTIMATE box* The L'eau didn't taste half as good .. for what it's worth hehe

Its name suggests the kind of perfume which is a personification of a woman. It is a gentle,warm and sensual oriental floral based on vanilla, a perfume for special occasions, a very good -luxurious I'd say- evening perfume. But, I don't really find it an "iconic" perfume. In my opinion, the vanilla should be hidden better between the other notes, for a more versatile effect.

While testing some womens scents and getting some soaked scent strips for review fodder, my fave frag counter- girl and I were discussing what cloying means...she grabbed the One and sprayed it on paper and said "This, to me is cloying...", I disagree (and promptly snatched and bagged the strip and sprayed the other two for testing and reviews)...cloying to me is so sweet and heavy you can't smell anything else, and this is not that at all...

This does begin on a sweet fruity blend of lychee(lite and sweet), mandarin and bergamot(fresh, tart and zesty) and peach(smooth and juicy), but I do not find it too sweet at all; it is rather refreshing and succulent. The heart of lovely lilies mixed with a dark plum note is wonderful and the green muguet and soft sexy jasmine only add to the allure and charisma of this luxurious juice. The drydown could be manly, if it weren't for all those fruits and flowers floating around in the mix, instead it gives it an oriental musky amber glow with the woody vetiver donating a faint earthiness and vanilla shining over them all. Cloying? To some maybe, to me: a real winner and it gets better the longer it's worn!

Sillage: good
Longevity: very good
Overall: 3.75/5

I love The One for Men and this is a beautiful consort to that scent, well balanced and rich. D&G really outdid themselves on this line and though I often tire quickly of flankers, the scents that accompany these are all nice and I would reccomend them to anyone who likes an elegant and well-made perfume...

Nice, abit on the 'blah' side. Looking at the bottle and from the ad, I was expecting a warm, opulent, creamy, sensual vanilla based fragrance, but what I got was a soft whisper of another pretty vanilla-fruity-floral scent. Nice, versatile, easy to wear, but it is weak. Much too subtle for my liking. Not rich, not lush, not creamy, only a little on the warm side. Disappointed. This scent is not just safe, it is ultra safe, no personality. Still it's nice, just nice. Not going to spend my money on it. My favorite warm and creamy fruity-floral-vanilla so far is Mariella Burani, costs alot less with better sillage too, too bad it's sooo hard to find these days.

got this perfume last year, it was my very first perfume. very elegant, sophisticated and so sexy.
THE ONE - like it
THE ONE ROSE - love it

Sillage?Lovely.

Longevity?Good on my skin.

7/10

THE ONE is beautiful to behold and I adored the scent for the bottle itself.It's lasting power is incredible about 4-6 hours. Upon initial contact, THE ONE smells like a very fragrant pink rose, not artificial at all, resembling the living flower...rose indeed is not a not a note but this is what I get... images of a young woman in a Summer garden, filled with roses, dreaming of the man who has captured her heart. Later, the scent morphs...it is a deeply feminine, soft-spoken but omnipresent vanilla and vetiver concoction.It is warmer, richer somehow...not at all innocent though beautiful nonetheless... It takes me to the fireplace and brings my lover close to me...

I bought this after smelling it in a mag. and was highly disappointed. It didn't smell good on me at all! Lucky, it smells wonderful on my mother. This is such a beautiful perfume. So lush& rich& warm. It seems like a very... womanly fragrance. You can definitely smell vanilla, but it's made more exotic by the other notes swirled around. This is def. something everyone should try on& think about buying! Perfect for evening wear, it's so sensual. I'm just mad it didn't smell right on me!

The One by D&G is perfectly stunning!

The litchi in the opening notes is quite detectable, very delicious; The vinilla can be catched all the time, that makes it so warm. I think this is the most feminie one among my collections. I'm really intoxicated with it !!

PS: the bottle is good crafted with thick glass, it has class.

i really like this scent,i used for a whole summer!you can absolutely recognize vanilla base note at the first sniff!.but to be honest,i dont know if there was an issue with my skin,but i cant used it at the very warm days of summer..whatever its a sensual,lovely and special fragrance..''the one''

I spontanously purchased this scent three years ago but afterwards wasn't too enthusiastic to wear it often. I got turned of a bit because of its too soft sillage that reminded me of baby powder (my bf already compared it to Nivea body lotion - this is not what I expect from a perfume that I wear on a regular basis).I rediscovered it recently because I smelled it on another woman passing by during rush hour on a warm sunny day. Now it is growing on me a bit. The one will never be one of my loved scents as it is too weak but it does have its moments as the lightest gourmand fragrance in my collection. I especially like the creamy plum note in this scent. The staying power is beyond average though.

I mostly like my perfumes to remind me of places, not people - but The One is definitely a scent that has a distinct personality.

The One is a girl with a pout. At first, she seems demanding in a sexy way. . . but as time goes on, she starts to get a little. . . annoying.

The scent never changes on my skin. It starts sweet and stays that way (I think NZsarah was dead-on about the caramel).

While I find this to be pretty and sexy at first, it's just too one-note for me.

I think that it is all about skin . On me it is very long lasting, from 8 to 10 hours... I love this perfume, believe it suits my skin perfectly! I do smell it on many woman and just to a few of them i could tell that smell super, on others it's just didn't smell as good as it should. I find in it some extraordinary notes (maybe mix of litchi and peach + something)that make me sniffing my self non stop... And it doesn't give me a headache and don't think it can be overpowering by any chance on me. Beautiful, special, sweet and sexy smell, but only on right skin.

I smelt this today and all I could smell was caramel - I know thats not in the description and no one else has said it on here but it is seriously all I could smell! Which I liked haha but am I the only one who thinks this....?

Me again to chime in on the "not lasting" comment I previously made. The first bottle of this was a gift and The One has just been launched. I thought, Maybe the problem is only with this bottle. So when it was gone, I bought a bottle for myself. Same thing! I spray it on, and it's gone. I mean almost immediately gone.
I also wondered if perhaps my nose is just insensitive in some way to this particular perfume (although I have no problem with any others and love perfumes like most women love shoes). But I have asked people if they can smell it on my neck or my wrist and the answer is always NO. Makes me so sad, because the little whiff I get when I first apply it is SOOOOOOO heavenly.

This was a dissapointment coming from Dolce & Gabanna.Cause Light blue is one of my favorites.Smelt ok in the magazine sample.But went to Macy's to really give it a try.It reminded me of some vapor rub or tiger balm..Something for joint pain. Not for me.

I tried the One in Macys and was so impressed! So warm, cozy and yummy scent. It wasn't on sale that day, so I bought couple of samples on the Internet. Started to use and... coudn't stand it. Way to sweet and the scent didn't developed in anything else, stayed the same for hours and hours and hours. Maybe it's my skin, but for my taste it's just flat and boring. There no intrique in this perfume. As you can imagine I didn't buy the whole bottle, which is very stylish by the way:-) I don't smell in this perfume anything except lichi for the first minute (which I love) and a lots of vanilla and something else, probably, corn syrup, - for the rest of the time. Where is my favorite bergamot and mandarin orange? Again, maybe it's just me and my skin chemistry killed the perfume.

I was pretty disappointed with this. Its a lovely smell, but I really thought it was going to be amazing. I wanted something to replace my Narciso Rodriguez for Her. Its a very golden fragrance,perfect for the evening, but it doesn't make me say "this is the one!"
A little update,everyone seems to have this fragrance, so dont get it if you want to smell special. Thats why I like to get fragrances from other countries, that way I dont get recognized. Just a neurotic trait of mine!

A very boring caramel drenched fragrance that smells like ten others. Gourmand notes are becoming so ubiquitous in contemporary perfumes that I can only conclude they must be cheap to simulate, ergo, this smells cheap.

the one smells like a birthday party with heavily frosted cake and shiny paper. it feels very simple and nice, but i just think there is something missing. a kick of tuberose or spice might have helped in my case.

warm and sensual thats my 1st impression.. so warm fragrance, sharp at 1st .. the Oriental note declare itself clearly at the 1st note, then it turns to sweet,warm,flowery .. mandarin ,peach amazing note .. the mid-note is great

my favorite is the base note HOW SWEET !!! its more than sweet, pure sweetness with musky,vanilla,amber note agreat mix of oriental cents in asweet look its really agreat fragrance , so feminine ..

fragrance that say um special .. day,night,cold, hot !! its a perfume that suits and act perfectly whenever u use it

I love this scent, for me the two most prominent notes in this one are lychee in the top notes and vanilla in the dry down. I don't find this perfume particularly complex as the scent barely changes at all as it moves through the layers but i do think it smells wonderful. It also has amazing lasting power, anything more than one to two sprays does overpower though so beware. My only problem is that its initial intense sweetness gives me a little bit of a headache if the weather is not cold enough. I would classify this as a romantic night/ winter scent/

Just bought this one. One spray and the scent is nice, soft, sweet and delicious. Nothing extra ordinary. It stays close to the skin. Little bit of fruits with soft vanilla. I could wear this daytime too. The bottle is quite luxurious.

Edit. I was wearing this again yesterday and absolutly loved it! A beautiful, yummy, cozy, sexy scent and lasts on my skin for hours and hours! I agree with my earlier comment that this is nothing extra ordinary, but still everything I just said. If that makes any sense! :D

Sweet heaven of vanilla, caramel and fruits. Makes me think of winter afternoons, when I would curl up in the corner with a cup of tea, blanket and chocolate chip cookies. Warm but also elegant and seductive at the same time. Good for a going-out fragrance. I think every man would love his girlfriend to smell like this. It's simply delicious.

This parfume truly deserve its name,The One is like noone else frag,and that makes it so speacial for me,its warm,very powdery scent on my skin,it is really strange parfume,but I love it exactly for that :)

I loooove this smell, is so seductive!!
This a thick fragrance, suitable for winter, special ocassions. When i tried this i felt delicious and sexy. It maybe for woman in their 30s but i like it.
I smell chocolate/vanilla, musk, florals, oriental, misterious.
The one, d & g, is one of the most sexys parfums ive smelled!

i always liked it on my friend
but when she stopped wearing it one day
she had a way too vanila smell on her
and it was the one again!
that time it made me sick somehow

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 small doses I find it quite delicate. But be careful, as it can become queasy instead.

In 3 words: PIE-LIKE - COSY - CLOYING

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!

This smells exactly like Black Pearls from Elizabeth Taylor. Paying all this money for a scent that has already been done and it stinks!

This is a totally unique purfume. Smells really soffisticated and expensive.
Lasts a long time and projects fairly well.

I wear it on special occasions.

I bought this the first week that it came out... I thought it smelled like a nice sophisticated grown-up scent full of vanilla, citruses, plum and a lil spice...
I was right, HOWEVER, it just wasnt worth the $82+tax I paid at Nordstroms for it. While it did smell lush and expensive it had the lasting power well beneath a dollar store body spray... By the 3rd day I had already used 25% of the bottle... Needless to say I made another trip to Nordstroms for a refund...

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.

A well made oriental vanilla.on me peach jasmine plum vanilla.love it.romantic and sexy.

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.

The One symbolizes the very essence of luxury. The fragrance is every inch a diva, precious, sparkling scent. Love it. Very feminine and beautiful smell.

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.

I smell the peach, the plum, the lily and the vanilla and this is a great combination. I like it very much.

Velvety, sweet, powdery....very feminine...very long lasting, great sillage also...
I like it :)

Used to bring me compliments ! I don't wear it often , just in the fall- winter time, every now and then...bcz it is pretty strong and kind of heavy !
Must be used with a light hand !

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!

I love the bergamont, mandarin & vanilla notes in this scent. It's a gorgeous scent. It's definetaly a very unique and modern perfume. It doesn't stay on for very long on me though..I prefer wearing this one in the cooler months.

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!

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 rather 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! :(

It is the perfume I trust for business meetings. It is feminine but not over-daring. Definitely classy. Leaves behind the nice scent of a scarf fallen down of a beautiful woman's neck:)

finally decided to spray it on after only smellig it on paper. of course the scent is different on skin. i got a warm vanilla musk scent with a spicyness to it. over all its ok. dont love it or hate it and would only wear it during the fall/winter months especially at nite.

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.

Simply classy. i wear it on my cousin wedding and i got compliments from relatives. they say this is A-Class perfume... i'll definitely keep a bottle everytime.. it smell just nice, sweet, but not typical sweet..it's a classy sweet.. get one, you never regret it.

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 definetelly must try it again because when i first tried it i was looking to buying a present for somebody and i smelled soooo many parfums.... but i remember that this was the only i liked. It is nice not very heavy for my nose and i generally love oriental parfums so this may become one of my favorites.

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.

I had to promote this fragrance in a shop when it was released here in Italy and i hated it! I thought it was the same cheap perfume with a nice label. But now i really like it! You just have to wear it for a few hours to get the real scent.. When sprayed on you can really smell just alcohol!

Wonderful! Modern,fresh,peachy and classy. Wears down to a powdernyness i dont usually like,but here its not to powdery . This one is the one - with class!

Am I the only one to smell white chocolat in this? No fruits, no flowers, just sweet white chocolat. Not that I'm complaining mind you, I *love* it! One of the best gourmands I ever smelt, even if it wasn't made with that purpose. =D

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.

For me the One is the one! I've spent a lot of time and money to find the perfume that I love, the One it is! I can wear it everyday no matter which season, mood or occasion. I love a lot of other fragrances, but most of them are too seasonal or I just can't wear them a few days in a row.

Creamy pleasant fragrance, with vanilla and peach notes blended nicely.

Nothing very interesting, at least on my skin. Although I would wear it occassionally with casual mood.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

This a nice, modern, fruity fragrance, originally created for Camille Al Fayed! Lovely and sexy, too.
