Dolce & Gabbana The One Eau de Parfum

Dolce & Gabbana named this fragrance with a boldness that could easily read as arrogance — The One — and then proceeded to justify it. Launched as a feminine floriental and one of the house’s most enduring and commercially successful fragrances, The One EDP is a warm, honeyed, softly glamorous composition that has remained a consistent bestseller for good reason: it is immediately approachable, deeply wearable and built around a note combination that feels simultaneously classic and distinctly Dolce & Gabbana. The golden bottle with its faceted glass and fluid, feminine silhouette reflects the Mediterranean glamour and sun-warmed sensuality that defines the D&G aesthetic.

The opening of Lychee, Mandarin and Peach is soft and luminous — the lychee bringing a delicate, floral-sweet fruitiness quite different from the sharper red fruits of Very Good Girl or the dark plum of Musc Noir; the peach adding the warm, velvety sweetness that characterises The One’s opening accord. The heart is anchored by Madonna Lily — a specific variety of lily with a luminous, slightly creamy white floral character that is softer and more translucent than the headier tuberose or the more assertive jasmine — alongside Plum, which deepens the fruity sweetness of the opening into something richer and more complex, and Muguet (lily of the valley), which keeps the heart clean and fresh despite the warm register of the rest of the composition. The base of Musk, Vanilla and Amber is the warm, enveloping foundation that gives The One its lasting power and its signature golden sweetness — the combination that has made this fragrance a year-round wardrobe staple for women who wear it as a signature.

Also in the D&G collection at Oh So Luxe: the masculine counterparts The One for Men EDT and The One for Men EDP, the richer and more gourmand The Only One Intense EDP, and The One available as a women’s gift set with body lotion and mini.

How to Apply

Apply to pulse points — wrists, neck, décolletage. The lychee and peach opening settles within fifteen minutes into the Madonna lily and plum heart — the musk, vanilla and amber base lasts eight hours or more on skin with a warm, softly honeyed trail.
