Which Should You Buy?
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.
661 chases Dolce & Gabbana's The One for Men's spiced amber-tobacco heart, with a brighter, louder grapefruit and basil opening than the polished original. It is flatter and shorter-lived than the D&G EDT, but the warm, confident signature comes through clearly at oil-dupe pricing.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
The spiced amber-tobacco base reads warm and cosy, suiting cooler months far more than the height of summer.
Occasions
A confident, warm signature that works for evening dates and smart occasions, though the shorter longevity of the oil format suits it less well for a full office day.
