The One for Men

by Olivier Polge

Dolce & Gabbana The One for Men is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008, created by Olivier Polge. The One for Men opens with Basil, Coriander, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Ginger, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Amber, and Tobacco. Dolce & Gabbana's The One for Men carries a Favourite verdict, a amber-led wear.

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.

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

Best 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.

About

Opening with a fresh burst of grapefruit and green basil, it quickly settles into a heart of warm ginger and spicy cardamom, brightened by orange blossom. The base is where the magic truly happens: a rich, smooth blend of amber and tobacco, underpinned by a subtle cedarwood, creating a sophisticated and inviting aroma that's often described as a 'hug in a bottle'.
