Blossom Perfumery 388 The Only One is an Eau de Parfum. 388 The Only One opens with Bergamot, Orange, and Violet, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Iris, and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, and Caramel. Blossom Perfumery's 388 The Only One carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

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.

About

No. 388 opens with a bright bergamot-violet-orange trio that mirrors The Only One's cheerful start. The heart brings iris, coffee, pear and rose together, though the iris - which gives the original its soft, powdery sophistication - is much fainter here, letting the coffee and rose lead more directly. The patchouli-vanilla-caramel base delivers the same comforting gourmand warmth D&G is known for, but the caramel arrives earlier and stays sweeter throughout, crowding out the patchouli's grounding effect and shortening the overall complexity of the dry-down. Wear time sits around four to six hours before it settles into a simple vanilla-caramel skin scent. A pleasant, easy sweet floral for anyone who loves The Only One's coffee-vanilla identity without needing the full powdery depth.
