Dolce & Gabbana The Only One EDP

The Only One EdP is a gourmand floriental for Women. The feminine signature lies in the surprising combination of violet and coffee giving life to an enchanting floral scent. Like the woman it represents, the fragrance is an intricate play of opposites.

It is from this fusion of the unexpected, a Mocha Violet note, that it draws its appeal. The violet opens the fragrance, combining with subtle touches of bergamot to create a lively, fresh and juicy bouquet. At the heart, seductive notes of rich coffee are blended with charming iris.

Finally, the warm base of vanilla and patchouli lends a tactile, comforting quality, enveloping the senses in an opulent embrace.

• Top Notes: Bergamot, Pear & Freesia. 
• Heart Notes: Violet, Coffee, Iris. 
• Base Notes: Heliotrope, Caramel, Vanilla, Amberwood, Patchouli.

REVIEWS

Fragrantica - "Whoa...this is what I always wished the OG "Black Opium" was...THIS is wearable!!!  This is not screechy, doesn't burn my eyes (jasmine...euuugh) and is smoother than any of the BO line that I've experienced...with the exception of the "BO-Le Parfum" which I absolutely am addicted to and adore beyond measure."

Fragrantica - "This is super pretty. It's a cold "gummy" caramel, like a chewy Werther's candy. Not a "buttery" caramel.  Similar to Juicy Couture Gold Couture, but lighter. The Only One is a gourmand that still has an air of sophistication.:

Fragrantica - "This smells gooood, good. There's a dark horse in this fragrance that I love... Violet! What a clever note to add to this beautiful gourmand. It adds some unique intrigue to the perfume right off the bat. The dry down, to me, smells like a sister or cousin to Gold Couture, Black Opium, and Pink Sugar, thanks to the sweet powdery vanilla. I can see a lot of layering options that could work well with this too." 

Fragrantica - "This is gorgeous, so yummy sweet, but complex and not cloying imo. Smells like walking into a candy factory and taking in the scents of all the different confectionery they're making that day, cotton candy, caramels, citrus hard candies, all mixed together, but make it sophisticated with a bit of powdery florals and yes, wearable!"

Fragrantica - "I LOVE this perfume more than anything. it smells like a warm hug, but it is also so seductive and spicy. it's so difficult to describe besides PERFECT. this will forever be my signature scent for as long as i am alive!"

Fragrantica - "This is a gourmand for the floral lover! I get candied violets, & caramel notes. Every scent is intriguing, & makes my mouth water for more! This is elegant. I barely smell the coffee note, though. There's a hint of coffee and vanilla in the dry down but it's not the main show. Also, for those who don't like patchouli, like myself, this is not heavy on the patchouli at all! This doesn't smell like Black Opium or Coffee Break to me. It's refined & unique. 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."

Fragrantica - "I immediately loved it... a cozy, warm, welcoming vanilla with a hint of caramel. Vanilla and caramel notes can smell a bit cheap, but this doesn't. It's very elegant and elevated. It's also a beast mode fragrance. You do not need more than one or two sprays and it lasts the entire day. Still noticeable on clothes after days. If you spray this once on your coat, the scent is going to follow you around everywhere in the best way possible."

Fragrantica - "I get why people compare it to Black Opium but I like The Only One a lot more because it's smoother, creamier and has a very pretty powderyness to it and I find it more delicious. I tried to like Black Opium and I do like some of it's flankers but I love D&G The Only One. the coffee note isn't as strong as Black Opium but there's a perfect caramel note and something creamy and lactonic here which reminds me of whipped cream and dulce de leche in Britney Spears Private Show. as a gourmand lover, I find this sweet, warm creamy yummyness heavenly but there's also powdery floral notes here giving it a perfumey vibe and preventing it from getting too foody and edible.... it's a warm and sweet, cozy yet classy, softly powdery floral vanilla which is very easy to wear and a complement magnet."

Fragrantica - "The Only One is my favorite Dolce & Gabbana perfume and a huge compliment getter. It is a very caramel and coffee type of fragrance but not bitter or sickeningly sweet. It's creamy, alluring and sexy. A little bit goes a long way. Personally, I prefer this over Black Opium. I think this perfume is more well done opposed to YSL's perfume." 

Fragrantica - "I tried it on and I loved it!...subtlety of the caramel note is addictive. This is one of my daily perfume. Price point is good too. It reminds of when innocence meets sexy. Would I buy this again? Absolutely!"
