Key Notes of The One Desire
What Does The One Desire Smell Like
The One Desire by Dolce & Gabbana unveils itself with a juicy mix of lychee and mandarin orange that is subtly freshened up by the bergamot. The lily of the valley adds a soft, spring-like floral hint to the sweet and tart opening. The hearty top notes then sublimely transition into a more sensual and rich heart where plum nectar takes the lead, adding depth and warmth. Accompanied by the exotic flair of Indian tuberose and the elegant, pure scent of Madonna lily, the jasmine adds a touch of powdery floral sweetness. This lush, fruity-floral blend then effortlessly descends into a comforting base. The warm and creamy combination of caramel and vanilla gives the perfume a gourmand and almost edible quality, whilst sandalwood provides a woody and milky undertone. The sweet and resinous scent of labdanum, together with the clean and slightly animalic musk, finishes off the composition, infusing it with a touch of oriental mystique. Overall, The One Desire is a sweet, fruity, and floral fragrance with a warm, creamy, and oriental backbone.
Review of The One Desire
Dolce & Gabbana's The One Desire, released in 2013, is a bold, yet feminine fragrance that primarily appeals to women. Its scent profile leans heavily towards the sweet and floral side, with a touch of fruity undertones. A subtle gourmand twist is provided by the dry down, which is tempered by oriental and woody notes.
The One Desire is at its best during the chillier months, being particularly inviting during fall and winter. Its sweetness and warmth make it a comforting presence against the bracing cold, yet it isn't too heavy to be worn during the transition of spring or on cooler summer evenings.
Its versatility extends to a variety of occasions, from night outs and evening events to daily wear. It's not overpowering, yet has a presence, making it suitable for leisurely activities and even the business environment.
The fragrance's heart is a tantalizing blend of plum nectar and jasmine, underpinned by a rich base of caramel and vanilla, offering a delightful sweet yet not cloying combination. The lychee and lily of the valley in the top notes give it a bright and fresh opening, quickly followed by the deeper, more complex heart and base notes.
However, it's worth noting that while The One Desire is a beautiful fragrance, it might not be for those looking for a long-lasting scent. The fragrance's longevity is average, and its sillage is moderate at best. In terms of value, it falls in the middle of the price range, making it accessible yet not exactly a bargain.
Overall, Dolce & Gabbana's The One Desire is a sweet, feminine, and versatile fragrance for those who appreciate a touch of luxury in their perfume collection.
