Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The One for Men EDT
Dolce & Gabbana The One EDT is a divisive one. While many hail its warm, sexy aroma as a date night classic, equally many decry its notoriously poor performance. It's a gorgeous scent, but be prepared for it to fade into an intimate skin scent far quicker than you'd like.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 179 The One For Him EDP
A workable dupe of Dolce & Gabbana The One for Men - the citrus-spice opening and amber-tobacco base are both present, but the blend feels flatter and more linear than the original's slow-building warmth.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its intimate projection and warm, inviting accords make it perfect for date nights and formal events where close contact is common. Given the poor projection, it could work for an office setting if applied lightly, but it's not a casual or sporty choice at all.
