Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The One for Men
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.

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.

Dolce & Gabbana The One by Oil Perfumery

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The warm and spicy accords make it ideal for cooler weather, such as fall and winter, while its balanced intensity can also transition well into spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its moderate projection makes it suitable for office use and social settings, while the sophistication lends itself to dates. However, it's less ideal for sports due to its elegant character.
