Dolce & Gabbana The One Gentleman for men - Opinios Reviews

Dolce & Gabbana The One Gentleman is classified as Oriental fragrance. To be honest, I’ve read many discordant reviews, some think it is a gorgeous scent whereas some other are really disappointed. I‘ve bought it long ago, I was lucky and got the 100ml for 20 something euro. This morning I looked at the perfume consultant and it suggested me this one as a rarely worn. Thus, I gave it a try and here you are what I got.

TOG opens with a blast of pepper and lavender mix, though the perfume is not aggressive. Overall, the perfume is warm, bright and intriguing. And as the perfume develops, the pepper fades away and the vanilla comes forward with a sugared and sharpened melding of forces. What once was more intriguing, is now more exciting; still beautiful and seductive. At this point, and just for a very short term, I got the aromatic notes of the fennel, Its flavor is reminiscent of licorice or anise. It’s merely a whiff, either you get it or miss it. Although I found contradictory notes on many perfume's blog like fennel, dill, and watercress, I bet the right note is fennel seeds.
As the perfume continues to morph, the sharpened edges soften, but not by much as the vanilla base continues to provide a sweetened, which clashes with the heart of gorgeous herbal smashed green cardamom pods, so balsamic and kind of a mixture of camphor, eucalyptus, and menthol
The dry down is smoky, it’s all topped off with a bland of vanilla and patchouli, making it soft and elegant, neither too sweet nor powdery. It smells pretty good, not sure it is a unique smell, it reminds me Ambre Noir by Yves Rocher (or perhaps that one reminds this… who knows?).
It is a relatively light scent that starts quite peppery and lavenderish, but soon reduces to a delicious potion of vanilla and patchouli. Since it is so modest and quiet, it is perfectly suited for a professional working in an office environment. It's biggest flaw, however, is the lack of longevity, since after only a few hours it stays close to your skin. It does stay on clothes, though. The gourmand nature of this makes it suitable for the young set. The vanilla is very smooth in The One Gentleman, and the lavender is just aromatic enough.
I recommend TOG for cold season like autumn and winter. Since it is not cloying, it might suit a warm spring day, and perhaps summertime if not too hot. As for occasion, I find it good for day work, business, and leisure time.
Despite average longevity and sillage, I like it and score it 8/10.

Dolce & Gabbana The One Gentleman is a really good aroma. It has a vibe of oriental grace while the peppery vanilla lavender are so nicely mixed. I believe one of the best well created EDT from the brand...

The One Gentleman has a great smell. I believe this is a darker sweetness scent.....better for winter or rainy days. Spicy opening, drying down to notes of vanilla and tobacco. Combined with other subtle spices, a warm scent indeed.
