Fragrance Notes
The One for Men
Three materials make Dolce and Gabbana The One for Men Eau de Toilette the daytime, low effort member of its family, and that is exactly why it is so easy to wear.
Sandalwood is the backbone, smooth and creamy and faintly sweet, the kind of wood that reads as expensive without doing anything dramatic. Lavender sits over it, clean and herbal with a slight camphorous sting, and basil adds a green peppery sharpness that keeps the lavender from tipping into aftershave. There is nothing else, and nothing else is needed. This is a short composition and it behaves like one. There is no arc to follow; it sets out its position in the first few minutes and maintains it. As a toilette it is light, which suits the structure, giving several hours of clean presence before it settles very close to the skin. Three sprays is a normal dose and a fourth will not hurt it.
Olivier Polge put it together in 2015. Set against the eau de parfum and the parfum, this is the version to own if you want something for the office and for warm weather rather than for the evening, and it is noticeably the least spiced of the three. It is also the easiest to wear around people who dislike fragrance. It suits work, warm weather and anyone who wants to smell groomed rather than scented, and it is aimed at men. Dolce and Gabbana is an Italian fashion house that Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana founded in 1985 and still direct creatively, while its fragrance, makeup and skincare have been produced under an exclusive worldwide licence by Shiseido since October 2016, managed from the company's EMEA headquarters in Paris.
