Dolce & Gabbana has given The One, its feminine fragrance launched in 2006, an intense version signed by Quentin Bisch. The One Eau de Parfum Intense opens on pink pepper, mandarin and blackcurrant, blossoms on jasmine and settles on vanilla and amber accords.
Pink pepper, mandarin and blackcurrant
The top opens on pink pepper, which the house describes as invigorating, with mandarin and blackcurrant.
A luminous jasmine
Jasmine occupies the heart; the brand describes it as sensual, floral and luminous.
Vanilla and amber accords
The base pairs a creamy vanilla with warm amber accords, for a sillage the house wants intense and long-lasting.
What sets it apart from the 2006 eau de parfum
The 2006 eau de parfum brought together bergamot, mandarin, lychee and peach in the top notes, a Madonna lily in the heart, and vanilla, amber and musk in the base. The intense version keeps mandarin, vanilla and amber, and replaces the lily with jasmine.
What the ingredients declare
Among the ingredients Dolce & Gabbana declares are also bergamot essential oil and a cananga extract, two materials not mentioned in its list of notes.
What the label declares
The label lists two synthetic materials at the top of the odorant substances: galaxolide, a clean musk, and Iso E Super, declared under its chemical name, an amber woody. Vanillin corresponds to the vanilla in the base; bergamot essence, also declared, does not appear among the announced notes.
Hexylcinnamaldehyde, with a jasmine odor, accompanies the jasmine in the heart; cananga oil, close to ylang-ylang, and benzaldehyde, a bitter almond odor, add two facets the house does not name. The colorants, yellow, violet and red, are declared subject to variation, depending on the batch.
