Fragrance Notes
The One Pour Homme
Of all the readings of this line, Dolce and Gabbana The One Pour Homme Parfum is the heaviest, and its three materials are all chosen for depth rather than for brightness.
Black pepper opens it dry and dusty with a slight heat, and it is the only sharp thing in the composition. Tobacco arrives quickly behind it as cured leaf, sweet and papery with the faintly dusty smell of an old tin. Labdanum underpins both, sticky and resinous with a dark leathery bitterness, and it is what gives the fragrance its density. There is nothing green, nothing citric and nothing clean anywhere in it, which is clearly deliberate.
At parfum strength a short composition becomes a statement rather than a sketch. It projects moderately and then holds very close for a long time, which means it reads as intimate rather than imposing even though it is strong. One spray is often the right answer, and two is as far as anyone should go indoors. Olivier Polge composed it in 2015. Cold evenings, dinners, formal wear and anything where a lighter fragrance would simply disappear under a coat. It is aimed at men, and against the eau de toilette and eau de parfum versions it is unmistakably the serious one, so try it before assuming it is just a stronger pour of the same thing.
Dolce and Gabbana is the Italian fashion house that Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana opened in 1985, and it still answers to them creatively. Fragrance, makeup and skincare are produced under an exclusive worldwide licence rather than in house, held by Shiseido since October 2016 and run from its EMEA headquarters in Paris, with eyewear the only other licensed category.
