L'eau The One

Last year I bought a bottle of original The One,which I disliked and gave away(but now I think that it was a fake).deciding to blind buy The One L'eau seemed to be crazy even for me(I usually prefer stronger versions of fragrances)but I found a used bottle(still 50mil left in it)for such a great price and I couldn't say no Today was my second day of wearing D&G The One L'eau and I looove it!! and I mean a real "LOVE" not a kindly said "like",as I often tend to say I can't detect most of the notes separately and I can't see much change in it's scent.maybe I can after some time but as it is,I'm totally OK with this almost linear well blended scent because it's so beautiful! If you're looking for a watery,fresh or refreshing summary scent it's not the one for you.I'm going to wear it year round speacially right now(which is early summer)but mostly as a night scent or for cooler days If I want to describe it,I'd say a seamlessly beautiful blend of fruits and white flowers wrapped in a soft,warm,slightly powdery,vanillay base notes.It's so well blended that I can't call it a floral scent or a fruity scent.they're all melted in each other to create a unit whole which is deliciously sweet without being a gourmand,modern and youthful without being childish and softly creamy without being faint. Peach and plum are not among my favorite fruity notes. the fruity accord of The One L'eau is like a delicious fruit cream custard,none of the fruits really stand out individually to me but if I want to name the most dominant ones I'd say it's more like a blend of paeches and cream and litchi. I remember to detect much stronger,syrupy peach and some plum in original the one and I'm glad it's not the case here. In original The One I remember to smell an almost heavy and buttery but non-descript white floral scent but in L'eau I can detect a super gorgeous,realistic,soft and creamy but not fatty lily. like the lily in cartier baiser lys rose(which I also like)but sweeter,more complex and much better. I can't detect jasmine but I can get something like honeysuckle and magnolia Vanilla is the strongest base note and it's also creamy,as if they have thrown some vanilla whipped cream in it.I can't detect much musk,amber,vetiver or moss as separate notes but they're sure there adding enough warmth,depth,sensuality and a blast of powder. it's creamy,powdery drydown lasts for +6hours on my skin which is very good for an edt.sillage is also satisfying.people around you are going to notice your pleasant perfume and it seems to be a great compliment magnet,speacially men seem to like it.my man commented on it as a feminine,soft,sexy and beautiful smell.he said that he thinks it's one of my best perfumes and I agree I can't really compare it to original The One because I believe mine was a fake but I'm going to test it in a perfume shop and if really similar,I'm going to buy it as soon as I finish my L'eau The One but if mine wasn't a fake,then Original The One can't replace this yummy,delightful and smooth scent for me and the fact that it's discontinued would be a tragedy.I love it so much that I can say it's among my top ten favorites among +500 perfumes I own D&G l'eau the one is an easy to wear,easy to love,versatile and beautiful perfume if mildly sweet,softly powdery and modern floral-fruity-vanillas are your thing

I absolutely adore this scent. I've just purchased a bottle and can't get enough. I will say..as most others have that the lasting power leaves alot to be desired which is a shame. I'll just take it with me and re-apply when need be. It's always fun to spritz lol!! Ok so to describe it I would say it's got top notes of fizzy tropical fruit, and behind that there is a sort of plasticy sweet smell which can only be the amber. This perfume smells like fake sweet plastic when it's drying (In SUCH a good way though, I think it's brilliant). It's VERY similar to the original but it's more...airy..and a bit more fruity. Both perfumes are lovely, I just wish they did an Eau De Parfum of this. (Which is what I thought I was buying, but received an Eau De Toilette :( Anyway..the drier stage is like a tangy plasticy amber. Gorgeous! It's quite different and I don't think it smells like anything else out there that I've smelled so far anyway.

FIRSTLY ... I am in love!!!! This perfume has ticked all my boxes .I knew it was a match made in heaven by the notes it contained ..much beta than the orginal for me . Ultra feminine without being safe and lacking sexy,but not so sexy it would limit its use . Sweet but not sickly its just so perfect ...jasmine ,lily ,plum ,vanilla and fruit in perfect harmony . Just like the first a synergy of magic but this time there is a bit more confidence and freshness.Perfect ...there is nothing to add. OK ....had this for a week now and sadly it doesnt last long ...which is part of its charm that its soft but it costs enough ...maybe in summer it will have a bit more presence...i hope so ...and in the mean time i will enjoy going crazy and spraying as much as i like .

I do love this one. But it's practically impossible to get in UK :-( It still shows on the D&G web site as a current fragrance but there are no actual shops selling it, just a few online. The main dept stores and Boots etc are either no longer listing it or showing it as out of stock for the last few months. Cheapsmells have it at a good price but anywhere else online is expensive. I think I actually prefer this version to the original, it lasts just as long and the projection is just as good but not quite so heavy, more suitable for daytime/milder weather. I adore the dominant peach which lasts throughout the lifetime of the scent. Very similar to the original The One but in my opinion more wearable. Cheapsmells, here I come.

sweet fruity floral and light powdery. 80% similar to EDP version. even it was EDT version but it's still rich fruity floral. i can smell sweet vanilla and fresh fruity floral. it was very sticky on my clothes and it last amazingly. i get 10 hours on my skin. i rate it 10/10. affordable price, smell amazing, lot of compliments, sillage and longevity amazing, nice thick glass and adorable bottle. EDT is more than enough but EDP version is superb.
