Dolce & Gabbana 2018 EDT
The Only One
Dolce & Gabbana The Only One is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018, created by Violaine Collas. 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. Dolce & Gabbana's The Only One carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.
A divisive scent, many find this a beautiful, balanced caramel coffee gourmand with powdery florals. Others detect a chemical mess, cloying sweetness, or even toilet spray. Longevity is hit or miss, so try before you buy a full bottle.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
This perfume is best suited for cooler weather and evening wear, particularly for date nights or elegant formal occasions, due to its warm, rich, and sweet gourmand profile. While a few reviewers found it suitable for office wear, its warmth and projection could be too much in close quarters.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
