The One Essence

The One Essence from Dolce&Gabbana, released in 2015, is a fruity floral with a warm, sweet base. Flowers lead, with sweetness and citrus close behind and lighter woody and ambery touches.

It opens with peach and litchi for a juicy, rosy fruitiness, and bergamot and mandarin orange for a bright citrus sparkle. The heart is a trio of white flowers: lily of the valley gives a fresh, dewy note, jasmine a creamy sweetness and lily a soft, slightly spicy bloom. The base turns warm and smooth, with amber and vanilla bringing a golden sweetness and vetiver a dry, earthy edge that keeps it from feeling too soft.

Longevity reports are mixed, from moderate to long lasting, and the trail is moderate, with some finding it strong. It is voted mainly for autumn and then winter, and works by day or night. That suits it to cooler months, dinners and evenings out, for someone who likes a warm, fruity floral.
