The One For Men - Eau de Parfum

Ehhh it’s so so

received this product in exchange for an honest review. To begin with, I appreciated the elegant packaging of both the sample and the full-sized product. I love all the scent notes; they are typically the ones I prefer in most of my fragrances. However, in my opinion, the fragrance was quite lackluster. The projection was not very strong; it was essentially a skin scent right out of the gate. The longevity was there, but it lacked the punch. Would I buy it? Probably not, but I wouldn't be mad if I received it as a gift.

Overhyped

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is one of the most loved fragrances out there but it doesn’t make sense to me. Using this sample, it smells good overall but it was non-existent for me after a few hours (6 sprays). There are several fragrances that I would reach for before this.

Timeless Elegance with a Modern Masculine Edge

Dolce & Gabbana The One For Men Eau de Parfum truly lives up to its reputation as a modern classic. From the very first spray, the fragrance opens with a warm and inviting blend of grapefruit, coriander, and basil, creating a fresh yet slightly spicy introduction that feels confident and refined. As it settles on the skin, the heart notes of cardamom and ginger come forward, adding depth and a subtle sensual warmth that feels perfectly balanced—not overpowering, but undeniably present. What really sets this Eau de Parfum apart is the base. The rich combination of amber, tobacco, and cedarwood gives the scent a smooth, masculine finish that lasts for hours. It feels sophisticated, slightly seductive, and very polished, making it ideal for evening wear, date nights, or special occasions. Performance is impressive: longevity easily reaches 7–9 hours on my skin, with a moderate but noticeable projection that earns compliments without filling the entire room. The bottle design deserves praise as well. The heavy glass and dark color scheme reflect the luxurious character of the fragrance inside. Overall, this scent is perfect for men who appreciate elegance, warmth, and confidence in a fragrance that never feels outdated. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

Keep your game face going!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The initial notes when first spraying the Dolce & Gabbana, The One, you instantly get hit with an orange/citriousy scent. As the scent starts to settle, you start to notice a fresh sage heavy tone, that brings the scent together. If you take a long draw of the scent, you notice a woodiness (not the woodiness you smell in a forest or a woodworking shop, but that of a candle that says "hints of woodiness"), which is a sweet and fresh, kind of scent. Its quite energetic and energizing, so for me, its the perfect scent to use if you have a day thats full of meetings and "get-togethers" as it will keep you on your feet. Also great for a long day that ends with a team building happy hour, as you'll most likely be drained, but need to keep that game face!

Ooh La La

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Personal preference, I would put this in top fragrances,but not quite a 5 star scent. Wear in meaningful surroundings. Longevity is about 4 or 5 hours approx.

Spiced up citrus

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Spicy at first with noticeable citrus, then smooths into warm cardamom and tobacco. Classy but bit generic. Moderate longevity and projection. Pleasant but not memorable. 3/5

This smells absolutely amazing kind of wish I could have tested it out more than once but whatever. I will admit I did get a couple of compliments throughout the day and it seemed to last all day during work, so an easy 8 hours plus. I also have stronger with you and this definitely reminds me of that scent. A very nice scent overall that I will add to my collection at some point.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I typically find the the D&G men’s fragrances tend to be on the musky and wood affirming side, which I do not care for at all. However, “The One” may just be the one for me (pun is completely intended). It’s got a light most sweet smell to it but not a flowery, what I would call “a bouquet smell“. I don’t like musk and this has no musk sent to it. It’s a nice mix between sweet with just a hint of spice.

Amazing scent

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Very nice scent had hints of tabacco, orange, sage, very woody scent. I recommend it very nice and smells great. Great for any occasion and lovely brand.

A must try scent!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] As you can see from the picture I was quick to use most of this scent! It has been amazing to use for work and for going out. It is definitely a little on the muskier side of scents and it last a long while. No need to reapply throughout the day unless you want. I really loved the quality of the bottle and design. I definitely feel like is more of an all year round scent for every occasion!

A great masculine scent.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This eau de parfum has notes of tobacco, tarocco orange and Clary sage that smells great, making you feel refreshed and luxurious for a night out. I am impressed by how long it lasts and would definitely recommend it if you're looking for an ambery and woody scent.

Masculine strong woodsy scent. A must have

I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Dolce & Gabbana The One is one of those scents that instantly feels confident and refined. From the first spray, you get a warm, slightly spicy blend that’s smooth rather than overpowering. The opening has fresh citrus and a touch of spice, and as it settles, the amber, tobacco, and woody notes really shine. It’s warm, masculine, and incredibly inviting. This is the kind of cologne that works perfectly for date nights, evenings out, or anytime you want to smell put-together without being loud. It’s not overwhelming, which makes it great for close settings—people lean in to smell it rather than step back. The longevity is solid, and it wears comfortably throughout the day with a classy, modern finish. Overall, The One lives up to its name. It’s timeless, versatile, and feels luxurious every time I wear it. Definitely a staple fragrance and one I’d repurchase and recommend. 👌✨
