After launching more than successful fragrance for women, The One, Dolce&Gabbana house will, at the beginning of March 2008, launch a fragrance for men named The One for Men.

Creating this fragrance, Stefano Gabbana was following the idea of creating an uomo, a very masculine fragrance, and a very classic one, "not a banal classic, but a classic men's fragrance that would last for years and be the type of scent that women adore".

The notes of this fragrance are composed in accordance with the Gabbana creator's taste, who wanted to create a woody-oriental composition. In line with that Gabbana said: '"I like spicy-oriental notes and we've never done these types of fragrances, it's a little warmer than our other men's scents".

Fragrance The One for Men opens with sparkling notes of bergamot, coriander and basil, the middle motes bring in cardamom, ginger and neroli, while the base notes create a very masculine trace of cedar, ambergris and tobacco.

The fragrance is created in cooperation with P&G Prestige Product and International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (IFF). It comes in a glass made bottle that matches the shape of The One for Women bottle, only with silver-metal neck and chocolate-brown rectangular top.

The model of the fragrance advertising campaign will be the actor Matthew McConaughey, who will next week join the designers in the NYC. When it comes to the choice of the model, the Dolce&Gabbana designers said that they wanted to have the sexiest man on the planet. And with regards to that, Gabbana adds that this is the first time that a model in one of D&G men's fragrance campaigns appears in clothes.

The One for Men will be available in the US as EDT in two sizes – 50ml and 100ml bottles. Besides EDT the collection will include 100ml aftershave lotion, 75ml aftershave balm, 200ml shower gel and 75ml deodorant stick.

Such a smooth cologne... Very sweet and woodsy. The blend of grapefruit, ginger, tobacco, and amber is remarkable. It's also a classy scent. I personally cannot wear it on a daily basis though, just special occasions. I like the bottle design as well. It's heavy like a brick. Great for evening wear and impressing others i think. Good job D&G!

I really, really liked The One.
It is spicy, woodsy and sweet enough for a woman to use. As a matter of fact, after 4 hours on my skin it transformed into a version of Sensuous by Estee Lauder with an aromatic twist. The tobacco leaves are the best, along with much beloved cardamom. It does not have the harshness that some of colognes possess, it is soft as a cat`s paw...or silk tie...or dark curly hair.I think it can be easily worn during the day, though the best time for it is evening, no doubt!
It lasted all day on my skin, and a week and still going - on a paper strip.
Amazing!

Its ok.But mostly for night wear.Very warm and soft-i can say its a calm down fragrance.enjoy it.

The odd thing is that this fragrance isn't very spicy to me, though I expected it to be. I suppose in comparison to other fragrances, it MIGHT be...but I actually get more of a sweet woodsy note. It's divine. It's not a strong cologne like Brute, for example, but the woodsy aroma maintains its masculine structure without being overbearing. I think the cardamom, amber, and orange blossom add such a wonderfully warm sweetness to it--almost making it slightly creamy. The combination of notes somehow prevent this fragrance from being too spicy/woodsy or even the other extreme: boring.

I can't pinpoint which part I like the best. That's how you know a fragrance is GREAT...because the notes are in such harmony with each other that you don't even want to think about the individual notes. You just want to sit and enjoy the beautiful music. And this, indeed, is beautiful.

Wow this stuff is amazing - this may sound like a joke, but I got laid with this cologne.

At the least, get a tester from Dillards or something because this is money.

I think THe ONE for men is so attractive to women, I love the base note sooo much. It's so smooth and warm and I bought one for my husband. He likes it also. I think it's possible for a sexy woman to wear it at night as the base note of this EDT is so alluring. I am so happy that I bought it to my husband so that I can always sniff him~

the smell is addicting

It smells very good from the tester paper. It's a bit pricey right now. It smells somewhat like Vera Wang for men.

Very very heavy and sweet , i put it ones i went out into the club. My gosh i wantet to go out i couldn't breath anymore.It's elegant but very sweet for me, I prefer infusion from Prada or Dior cologne by Heidi Slimane. They are so unique and so dandy style
03/14/09 07:10:11
 
Omg! I love this scent! It's so unique. Very spicy and warm. But not overwhelming. Thois have to be my favorite of all men fragrances. Im getting this to my boyfriend for sure!

Dolce & Gabbana THE ONE is a cocentrate of elegance and sensuality. A spicy, oriental fragrance developed on the harmony of tobacco with refined boise notes.
A delightful oriental spicy scent that has a wonderful combination of grapefruit, ginger and orange blossom. Blended perfectly with cedarwood, coriander and basil it's a no stopping me now fragrance.
For the modern hedonist who never passes by unobserved.

I such really love this one.So elegant and warm.Smelling that ginger in the middle and wonderful musk at the end.This one is really special.This is my THE ONE cologne for winter and fall when i want to smell extra special.It goes perfect with my personality,elegant but still out going.And perfect for winter and fall too,but thats my opinion.And it smells pretty sweet,like grapefruit,but with more spicys.Not to much grapefruit dough:P.
PS.like the new picture for THE ONE cologne:)

The one for men has a powdery smell at first, sweet as well. But it leaves your nostrels with a rather intising sweet mysterious smell. Sounds wierd but i like it.

Amazing!!!Its so sweet,so calming,so special,so warming,so intimating,romantic and sexy!!Sure,i only have a few colognes,(but i smelled a lot of other colognes).But im sure this will by my favorite for a long time.

well this is surely a good cologne. i wanted something for evening wear. After surfing the net for couple of days i found out that Spicy and/or Musky Colognes are the best for night time. More search time helped me note that Bvlgari Black, Soir, Gucci pour HOmme 2, Versarce Dreamer, Vintage John Varvatos, Obsession night are among the best for evening wear.

after testing all these and a few more colognes recommended by SAs in perfume stores i was left with Gucci Pour Homme 2 and D&G The One for Men.

well the first impression was, Gucci is better. but after about 40 mins Gucci almost dies and D&G becomes a different cologne which supprised me. still it took me couple of more days to figure out which one to buy and then decided to go for the D&G The One.

My girlfriend reckons Gucci is more romantic and sweet which is true, whereas the D&G is more Masculine and better for special occasions.

However i would buy the Gucci and Bvlgari Soir because they'v got their own style and i liked them.

Great for evening wear. Will prove to be a classic scent. Similar to Davidoff Silver Shadow, with a little more spice.

Comes on soft, warm, with the subtle spicy notes coming out beautifully.
