This perfume is truly very disappointing.I had the misfortune of being given this one instead of 'The Only One Intense' (an easy mistake by the saleswoman) and only realised after I had sprayed it the next day.This perfume smells sickeningly sweet and almost as though it were a £6 perfume from Bodycare.In terms of positive aspects it did last a while, wafting throughout the day and still noticeable on my clothes the next day.I have had to stop and think 'is this a bit harsh of a review', however no, on reflection this perfectly tempered.When compared to more pleasing perfumes which are much less expensive, this perfume is of poor value overall.You will be paying for the brand name, not the perfume, which I can only imagine has been priced arbitrarily.

Turns out The Only One is much fruitier than I was expecting. I thought based on the color of the juice and the simplistic design of the bottle it would be a rich, sophisticated, elegant "dark" fragrance with more of a mature back bone. I wish I could perceive the fragrance as a whole - exactly how the voted dominant notes show here. But for me, it's as if the dominant pyramid has been flipped upside down!!! With rose, orange blossom, bergamot, and pear in that order, then the rest barely distinguishable. I was looking forward to the coffee, violet and vanilla but they're overshadowed by fruits and florals. Because of this it confuses me to wear. There's no darkness. Just happy, bright fruits and florals with freshness all throughout and a bit of sweetness. This ... MoreTurns out The Only One is much fruitier than I was expecting.

Just happy, bright fruits and florals with freshness all throughout and a bit of sweetness. This scent is extremely likeable with no challenging parts. I like the scent bubble it gives and has good staying power, but I would have loved something more mysterious and unusual in this. The fruitiness never subsides on me and I can't help but be reminded of the mainstream designer fruity florals of the last decade, with an ever so slight trace of gourmand-ness that is so popular today. It is very easy and pretty, a bit too easy for me at this stage in the game. It is SO wearable, but also so undiscernable and unclear as to what it is trying to be. I like it, just think my expectation was way off.

This perfyme gives off a very much mature but sexy woman scent. If you wear this, you dont play around and you know what it is you want. It has a slight marshmellow sweet scent without giving off a childish vanilla fragrant that we all know and hate. The real bottle is pretty and simple but i got this sample of it for free with a purchase. If you do ever buy the full size version, it would not be a waste of money and you'll be turning heads as you stride on by. If you like a sweet but seductive scent, this will work for you.

I love this perfume. It’s a gourmand and floral fragrance that is not overpowering. I feel that the notes balance themselves out. It lasts for hours without the need to constantly reapply. Even hours after the dry down, you still get whiffs of it. This perfume is great for a date night. The bottle design is classy and can fit in your travel bag. I’ve worn this perfume in all seasons and I don’t overspray. A little bit goes a very long way, the scent lasts.

I purchased an assortment of Dolce Gabbana samples from Amazon that included The Only One. Dolce Gabbana reminded me how much I LOVE quality fragrances. The Only One ended up being one of my favorites although I adored each sample—The One, The Only One, Peony, Light Blue and The Only One 2!! Around Christmas, I gifted myself a full-size bottle of The Only One. It is a wonderful, warm, gourmand fragrance. Top notes are Violet, Bergamot, Coffee, Iris, Vanilla and Patchouli. If you like flowers, you will probably love this fragrance. To me, it is a mature scent. I would recommend for someone over 30. Projection and sillage are both good, but on my skin, it does not last all day. Sad that it has been discontinued by Dolce Gabbana.

I remember this fragrance initially came out - it used to be much more coffee forward than it is now. It smelled more like a sultry woman in all black sitting at a cafe with a beautiful bouquet of flowers in front of her whilst sipping straight VERY ROBUST espresso with caramel syrup in it. Sweet, strong coffee with beautiful powdery flowers, oh dear - I absolutely fell in LOVE with this fragrance, initially. Even in smelling my very old vial, the coffee is much more forward than it is in the latest formulation. However, I digress. NOW, this is a very pretty young lady sitting outside of Starbucks drinking a caramel latte. Coffee gets completely buried and you get violet, caramel and rose. The coffee being more up front in this made the scent less cloying and kept ... MoreI remember this fragrance initially came out - it used to be much more coffee forward than it is now.

I don't think I will repurchase after this bottle is finished unless I find an older formulation. BRING BACK DESIRE!!!!

The Only One surprisingly beautifully combines the warmth of chocolate with the careful support of patchouli, and the coldness of flowers, and these are not gradual replacements of notes in the aroma - they appear simultaneously, and there is no dissonance in this. Coffee and vanilla have become too close friends, and that’s why I call this duo chocolate—there is no astringency of coffee, there is something soft and enveloping. Bergamot and citrus join the flowers, and they are almost invisible, because they also relate to “cold” - this is what I was talking about when I noted that some notes have merged together, and I don’t want to separate them. At first, the aroma seemed boring to me - well, flowers, well, chocolate, well, contrasting🤷🏼‍♀️ Too flat.

However, I increasingly began to think about buying it again, and could not understand why I liked it so much.

Dolce Gabbana The Only One is a fragrance that polarizes opinions. While some may find its sweet, floral notes enchanting and long-lasting, others may find it too overpowering or generic. The scent opens with a burst of fruity and floral accords, settling into a warm and creamy base. Its versatility makes it suitable for various occasions, but it may not stand out in a crowded market of similar fragrances. Ultimately, whether it becomes your signature scent depends on personal preference

Never liked any perfume more. Absolutely classy and this is

Never liked any perfume more. Absolutely classy and this is by far my favourite to be for a long time. D&G the one is another I used to like a lot, with sort of white chocoloty smell, but it is for older women in 40+ I would say. Thus I'm so hyped with this as it feels totally suitable for 25+, but just as classy, deeply refined and elegant. Very unusual smell but the one that lifts the spirits up everytime, can't get enough! Whoever came up with this is a genius I must say. Will definitely be buying more.
