Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Only One EDP
A modern floral gourmand that seduces with creamy vanilla and coffee, balanced by juicy citrus and powdery florals. Irresistibly addictive, elegant yet inviting, this is a signature scent for those who want to be noticed for their warmth and charm.

Our Verdict - 388 The Only One EDP
No. 388 follows Dolce & Gabbana's The Only One coffee-caramel-floral template closely, but the rose and iris heart is quieter and the vanilla-caramel base sweetens faster, giving a simpler, less powdery result that fades sooner than the original.

Season and Occasion Fit

The Only One

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

The sweet vanilla and caramel, creamy florals, and powdery gourmand character shine in cooler weather, making this ideal for fall and winter, but it can also be worn in spring for a comforting yet radiant effect. The richness and warmth can be cloying in hot summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal

Its addictive sweetness and moderate boldness make it a standout for dates and evening occasions, while the sophisticated floral-gourmand balance works for casual and formal settings. It's too opulent and enveloping for sport or gym scenarios, and can be a bit much for close-quarters office wear.
