Where to buy

After unveiling ever more splendid new facets of this fragrant ode to women, the creators wanted to offer the precious gift of a high-dose concentration of this jewel of glamour under the name The One Essence. Released in 2015, The One Essence presents itself as a refined, rare and delicate nectar born from the very hands of the emblematic Dolce & Gabbana designers.

The One Essence: the very essence of luxury and elegance according to Dolce & Gabbana

Since the very first presentation in 2009 of the sublime and sparkling face of the campaign for The One, Scarlett Johansson, every fragrance in The One line has been fronted by the young and beautiful actress.

For once departing from tradition, The One Essence was announced in 2015 as a pure creation of the fashion masters Dolce & Gabbana. Thus there is no pretty face of the campaign for this new fragrance, but rather a sober and stripped-down advertising film showing the designer hard at work on The One Essence. The communication for The One Essence thus falls in line with concept-driven advertising, in the manner of Jean-Paul Gaultier for instance, where perfumers demonstrate their art and sell their fragrant talents rather than a beautiful romantic story.

Moreover, The One Essence is a fragrant product entirely inspired by the passion of masters Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce for the sublimation of the flower in all its most beautiful facets. It was therefore logical for this fragrance to highlight its creative essence rather than its finely filmed image.

Precious flowers and sensual woods for The One Essence

The One Essence aims to be a return to the roots of pure sensuality and Italian-style glamour, in the image of the haute couture signed by Dolce & Gabbana. Quite rationally, then, the precious bottle of The One, designed by the stylists themselves, was reused in nearly identical form for The One Essence. However, the golden cap was transformed for the occasion into the house's emblematic black, the better to make the ambery gold of the sublime fragrance of The One Essence shine.

The One Essence opens on the sparkling, luminous notes of bergamot and mandarin emblematic of the original juice. In the heart this time, one is entirely captivated by the beauty and sensuality of white flowers, notably unveiling a Madonna lily as the guest of honor of this The One Essence. Enhanced by the excellence of the floral heart, the velvety peach note blended with lychee and exotic fruits takes on shades of sweetness and gourmand character. Finally, the sensual depths are heightened by enveloping and terribly addictive notes of sandalwood, amber and white musks.

Built on the remarkable Oriental Floral bouquet of The One Eau de Parfum, this rich and intense variation blends modern fruity notes with the timeless signature of white flowers. Dolce & Gabbana for The One Essence.
