Ovation

I've owned Ovation now a few weeks and have only tried it a handful of times since I live in a warmer climate area. With my little experience I can say that I am pleasantly surprised by the performance. I applied this morning at 7:30 and it is now 6pm and i can still get light waffs, especially on my clothing. I'm not a big sprayer, went with 5 today. Note, this is a softer to medium projector so you could go crazier if you wanted the attention. Profile wise, this leans just a tad bit fresher than the original. Identical smell, just heavily reliant on the grapefruit, orange blossom and ginger elements. The cardamom and amber aren't as warm as the original. Those always gave me a literal warm feeling but that does mean you can pull it off easier in warmer weather without it becoming cloying like the og did. I've loved the one DNA for 14 years so I'm glad I found an alternative that lasts.

The opening is grapefruity, basily, and gingery. Then it drys down to this silky, creamy, smooth, clean, masculine smell. This was not a love at first blind buy it took time to grow on me and now that it did I am in love with the perfume. Ps. I went to ulta to try out some perfume, saw Dolce&Gabbana the one edp and thought I should try it out. This is like 90% to 95% the same but ovation is much stronger and lasts longer. Honestly in my opinion ovation smells better

D&G The One is one of my all time favorite scents. Ovation is a great alternative to The One but unlike the abysmal performance of The One, Ovation actually performs amazingly! Scent wise it’s extremely close to the OG as well. Great fragrance!

better projection and more intense than D&G the one

Got my Ovation and YES >> IT SMELLS SOOOO GOOD But, it is NOT a close interpretation of Dolce & Gabbana THE ONE. It does NOT have the CREAMY SMOOTHNESS that THE ONE has which caused me to purchase this from Alexandria Fragrances. So I will be purchasing a bottle of THE ONE just because it is DEFINITELY NOT the same in attraction which THE ONE HAS. OVATION has a STRONG BLAST of Scent to it and NOT that CREAMY SMOOTHNESS which is a BIG reasons as to why THE ONE is THE ONE! I Still Recommend Alexandria Fragrances because it SMELLS REALLY GOOD!👍🏾 EDITED: OKAY ....... WELL OKAAAAAaaaaY! I Seeeeee Now. Well after writing the 1st review above about OVATION I see that after the 1st Initial Blast from 1st spraying it upon myself there is a CLOSE RESEMBLANCE to THE ONE. THAT CREAMINESS is There! And it does smell CLOSE to it......VERY CLOSE......NOT Exact.....But....VERY CLOSE! EDITED: TODAY.....I received my THE ONE travel spray to see if there is a difference and YES there is. But in my opinion ALEXANDRIA FRAGRANCES OVATION smell MuuuuuuuuCH BETTER! WELL ALRIGHTY THEN HANY HAFEZ/ALEXANDRIA FRAGRANCES. IM SCARED OF U 💙👏🏾👍🏾💙
