The Only One by Dolce & Gabbana Eau de Parfum For Women, 50ml

Product Information

There is some faint caramel latte present but it’s completely overpowered by that bitter and nauseating note.

I have watched a lot of positive reviews of this so I was very excited to try it, and it by no means is a bad perfume, just not what I expected. It is a perfect balance of everything: Not too sweet, not too strong, not too loud, not too juvenile nor too mature. I blind bought despite being reluctant to due to the comparisons to Dolce Garden, which I ended up hating as it was one of the most cloying, headache-inducing scent I've tried and the only fragrance I've worn that made me sick to my stomach. to be honest I can't detect any violet or iris here which is a shame because a dominant violet or iris could turn this to a more unique scent.

I am pretty sure my nose is anosmic to certain accords or molecules used in some perfumes, this is just another example. I happened to see recently that The Scented (Yana) on YouTube just recently discovered Candy Prada and has been surprised by her love of it! It has the same vibe as LI, very deep, sexy, and cozy, something you could wear in warmer months but I don't think this is necessarily a S/S frag either.

Unlike the reviewers who seem so upset that this isn't similar to the non-intense/original The Only One, I actually do see a similarity. The composition really hits the sweet spot between sexy but very wearable, its attractive but not too loud. On the other hand, I love Crystal Noir with its Coconut note, but I find it a bit too spicy fresh (I like ginger and cardamom, but with the black pepper it's a bit too much). A highly popular Amber Vanilla fragrance for women, The Only One was launched in 21018 and combines bright citruses with delicate florals and a smooth, sweet and creamy base for a highly alluring effect.

Encouraged by them, Emilia starts to sing the classic Italian song “Quando, Quando, Quando”, alongside a group of local musicians. I also agree with people who say it smells like something from the early 2000s, except I cant quite place what it is. If you love beachy coconut and vanilla floral perfumes this is one of the best, I have encountered, and this is coming from a person who isn't real thrilled w/ that genre and believe me I have tried to like many of them.

I wanted to try The Only One thanks to the coffee-iris accord at its heart, but it is just a disappointing, incoherent mish-mash of synthetic sweetness. I wish the longevity was a bit stronger in this scent, but I know I'm going to wear the heck out of it anyway. This is light, fresh/clean, crisp from the bergamot and pear the violet with orange adds a sparkling touch. I like the scent bubble it gives and has good staying power, but I would have loved something more mysterious and unusual in this. I personally think The One is a better fragrance though it smells nothing like this and would appeal to a different type of wearer.The opening white floral is the perfumey and bold kind, but still possess some respectful and enjoyable resemblance to the real flower, though it's gone within half an hour or so. Incredibly silky and well blended, which is why my partner likes it, even though he hates patchouli. It's definitely not what I expected but this may just be how my body chemistry is affecting the scent.

The coconut gives creaminess to the fragrance, while the Jasmine and the Orange Blossom makes it very "airy" and a bit fresh. I would recommend it to the floral lover in the market for a caramel/sweet coffee fragrance who doesn’t want to smell like everyone else. I don't get any coconut or not much vanilla, but I think these notes are what gives it a slight sweetness and coziness.One can argue whether the opening is innovative, as in the first stages this perfume smells a bit like your generic gourmand.
