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 - 195 Dolce & Gabbana The One EDP
195 TO follows D&G The One's amber-floral outline, with orange blossom and tobacco recognisable, but the dupe's drydown is much flatter and shorter than the original's rich, golden finish.

Season and Occasion Fit

The One for Men

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

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.
