Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - One & Only EDP
A captivating fragrance with a warm spicy opening and a rich floral heart transitioning into a woody base.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Singular Essence EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of One & Only by Gissah - a sweet fragrance led by Passion Fruit, with amber depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit

One & Only

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

The warm spicy and floral notes make this fragrance suitable for spring and fall, while its moderate intensity allows for summer evenings but may be too subtle for winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its balanced projection and sophisticated accords make it perfect for dates and intimate gatherings, but less suited for sports or outdoor activities.

Singular Essence

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Best in autumn and winter - the sweet, amber profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Keep it for evening and daily - the sweet accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
