The One Gold Intense
Plum is what you notice first and last in Dolce and Gabbana The One Gold Intense Eau de Parfum, and it is the material that separates this from every other version of The One.
It is used dark and ripe, almost stewed, with the sweetness of the flesh and a faint winey edge that keeps it from being merely fruity. Rose sits with it, warm and jammy rather than green, and the two of them together produce something that reads as rich and slightly old fashioned in a very flattering way. Jasmine lies underneath, creamy and a touch heady, giving the fruit a white floral depth so it does not sit flat. Three materials, so this is a short composition with no long development to wait for. The pleasure of it is in the density rather than in any change over time, and there is a real skill in getting three materials to smell this full.
At intense strength it lasts, holding on skin and fabric well into the following morning, and two sprays is a complete application. Anyone used to lighter fragrances should treat it with respect, because it does not fade politely. One spray at the throat and one in the hair, if you want length without weight, is a better approach than three on the wrists. Dated 2021, it belongs to cold weather and the evening and it is aimed at women. Dolce and Gabbana is an Italian fashion house created in 1985 by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, who are still its creative source. Beauty is licensed rather than run in house, and Shiseido has held the exclusive worldwide licence for fragrance, makeup and skincare since October 2016, directing it from its EMEA headquarters in Paris.
