The Only One

Dolce & Gabbana The Only One is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018. The Only One opens with Violet, Bergamot, and Orange, settles into a heart of Rose, Orange Blossom, Pear, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Caramel, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Dolce & Gabbana's The Only One carries a Favourite verdict, a caramel-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.

About

Opens with bergamot and orange zest, quickly followed by a plush violet and iris accord. The heart reveals a sweet pear and a comforting coffee note, underpinned by a lavish swirl of caramel and vanilla. A subtle, earthy patchouli grounds the composition, preventing it from veering into overwhelmingly saccharine territory.
