Our take
What does The Only One smell like?
Launched in 2018 and composed by Violaine Collas, The Only One broadens the world of The One with a more powdery, gourmand signature. The opening pairs a sugary, almost candy-like violet with bright bergamot. The heart is distinctive: roasted coffee meets powdery iris, creating a texture that is soft, bitter and creamy at once, evoking vintage make-up and a milky coffee. Patchouli and vanilla add a warm, slightly earthy depth to the base. The result is a gourmand floral oriental with retro accents that relies on sensuality and softness rather than power.
When to wear it
For evenings and dates, especially in cool weather. It suits women who like powdery, gourmand, slightly retro scents.
It belongs to the Floral, Oriental / Amber family. The Only One is one of 11 creations by Dolce & Gabbana in our encyclopedia.
