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.

My mom wears this so I have a maternal association with it. I'm not saying it smells old, it doesn't. It's warm, with vanilla and oriental flowers. Sophisticated. I actually have a little resentment toward my mom because she gets to wear such a beautiful scent! I'd steal it from her but it's hers, I'll just have to find my own signature scent ;) It's a beautiful fragrance that will always have a special place in my heart thanks to my mom.

I quite like this one. When you first spray it on, it's a bit too sharp. But it smooths into something else very quickly. A sweet, slightly powdery scent I can't quite put my finger on. And I can't stop sniffing my wrist. But it's edt, doesn't last very long. Update: I think I know why I've grown to really love this. It's the lychee, so juicy. Also this makes the air around you smells really nice. For a light edt, this has presence.

WOW. This is a nice, mellow but crisp/clean fragrance on me. The litchi and peach stay detectable throughout the duration of this fragrance. It never gets completely dominated by any musk or vanilla from the base. The lasting power is EXCELLENT (10 hours and the litchi is STILL there). Since this is rather unpopular in my area, gender-bending this one was EASY. I love it!!!

Well this was a surprise.I usually don t like dolce&gabbana,but this one is really good and intresting.It has a powdery smell which makes you think of babies and at the same time vanilla makes it very feminine.I just can t stop smelling it!However, its very light and it doen t have lasting power.You have to keep spraying:-(

I have been wearing this on and off for some time. People always have something nice to say when i am wearing it. I couple it with the body lotion and it lasts all day. It is fresh but with a subtle powdery smell. I tried the one and didnt like it much but L'eau the one is one of my favourites.

such a nice fragrance to wear at any season anytime during the day. Smells very similar to the one, but it's an eau de toilette and a bit lighter than the original. I am so sad that they discontinued it, bring it back on the market please!!!

I'm in love with this. I tested this today, and wow i was impressed. It's well composed, great for autumn/winter..i actually thought it'd be more aquatic from looking at it, but its lovely..sweet, fruity, floral and creamy!

dolce and gabbana the one has been my all time favorite perfume . i recently tried this version the L'eau the one and i love it even more ...its much sweeter than the original version..love it....smell disappears in an hour

The original perfume I had a few years earlier, it was my favorite, but I love this L'eau the one version much better! It's a very nice scent for me, I'm always happy, if i wear it! And very longlasting (for me at least).

É um dos perfumes da minha vida, ainda não acredito que foi tirado de linha. É a versão um pouquinho mais leve do vidro dourado, mas acho que mais amaderado.

I love this fragrance so muc! I wish they would sell these again. Makes me sad. Does anyone know where I can get the freshest bottle? Mine is too old now :,(

Powdery and sexy. Great night out scent, but can be used for day if you are feeling yourself that day. Its a good pick me up.

Using the very last drop from my very much loved testing vial. Wish I bought a big bottle; wish it was not discontinued.

I love this perfume! Sweet, but not saccharine, and long lasting. I get compliments every time I wear it.

Gorgeous perfume. It ́s very elegant, modern, feminine. The best of trinity The One and Rose the One.

I really like this and to me it favors Allure. Just enough spice and floral. Wonderful

After searching far and wide for a sample of this juice, I finally got my hands on one last week. As a fan of the original and having still not found my perfect spring/summer scent, this has been an object of my intrigue for some time now. Of course, when it arrived, I eagerly sprayed, shut my eyes and inhaled... And I wasn't disappointed! In fact I was impressed! At first whiff, I got a fresh yet opulent bouquet of lilies and subtly spicy vanilla. Imagining the lilies while smelling myself, I got a mental picture of a pallete of orange, white and magenta petals growing in a summer garden - as opposed to the sort of lilies that decorate a wedding venue. The vanilla - natural and spicy rather than creamy and foody compliments this very well. The lychee is mingling around too. Fast forward a few hours and jasmine shows up with a smouldering amber trailing not far behind with fragrance never losing its vanilla character. Still going strong, I should point out was its projection. Strong enough to turn heads, yet subtle enough to please noses. At the end of that day, I curled up reading a book and as I did, I was wrapped in a thin veil of vanilla and soft amber. My verdict on L'eau The One? It's a winner. Even my boyfriend liked it when I shoved my wrist under his nose and usually he responds with an apathetic "'s'alright" or complains that my leaning towards orientals burns his nose. I think this is a lovely scent for summer and evenings and is sure to be safe enough not to offend, yet bold enough to inject some sex appeal. It's definitely an oriental vanilla rather than a gourmand variety too which is great for me and others who don't want to smell like a sugary treat. Good job D&G, L'eau won't break ground, definitely not, but it's a lovely take on the original and it's a winner in my book.

Chicness for the younger crowd who does not want the usual aldehyde or big florals from the 80's perfect translation for the gen Y girl who also does not want to smell like baby soft a perfect scent for a twentysomething girl. the opening is hard to describe' to my skin the overbearing sweetness of Litchi with the few second top drydown of tangerine gives out a soapish texture which i find it a bit overwhelming and interesting the peach is diluted and barely noticeable brings a bit of a crisp texture to the scent' Lilies with it's delicate petals makes this scent bright and effervescent. dries the middle note of succulent plum the basenotes is somewhat hard to detect mainly because of the dominance of Litchi but i do decent a faint scent of musk but the amber is a bit stronger also with vanilla with it's powdery dryness are very noticeable for me this scent is to soapy to detect oakmoss and vetiver. the reason i cant bring myself to love this i mean i like it and i don't hate it but it's not my favorite because of it's Sweet and soapy scent of litchi and it's a bit synthetic but still it's still a good perfume but what i love is the flacon elegant clean and refined that reflects the modern woman.

L'eau The One is really longlasting, probably you like very much top notes, which evaporate quickly, so you think that the fragrance was weak. Good staying power on me as well, perhaps even a shade too strong, on my skin smells like a fine sun lotion in combination with a light woody fragrance....I like plum&vanilla part,the original The One is even less intriguing to me, while L'eau opens on a rather elegant way. I like this composition, though not my style. But certainly tastes are different,it has to do with your body chemistry. Usually fragrant notes we love stayed too short while those less pleasant kept longer than we wanted. The One was really too strong for me, L'eau is a wonderful fragrance, like it.Although I like the bottle I think it is so heavy and it is almost impossible to carry it in a purse.

This is my second round with L'eau the One. I like it, don't love it. Its sweet, girly, flirty and wow-longlasting on my skin(over 8 hours). L'eau the One is just so sweet I can stand and i like the plum/peach/vanilla-notes, they are nice mixed with a splash of wood and amber in basenote. If you spray to much this will be a room-killer. In basenote I also can detect a toffee-note. Detta är andra rundan med L'eau the One. Jag gillar den men jag älskar den inte. Den är söt, tjejig, flirtig och superhållbar på min hud (över 8 timmar. L'eau the One är precis så söt jag klarar utan att tycka att den är sliskig, jag gillar plommon/persika/vanilj-mixen, basen ger en dos tränoter och amber oxå. OM du sprejar på för mycket så blir det en kvävande och tung doft. I basnoten känner jag även en kola/toffee-not.

For me this starts out with a burst of lime, sweet lychee fruit and just a hint of peach that lingers for an hour or two, slowly changing to vanilla and honey/amber with a touch of lychee & soft peach remaining. Many reviews say it doesn't last. I think it's not that it doesn't last, it's that the dry down lasts much longer than the initial burst and stays much closer to the skin. On me at least the dry down lasted for hours which is really how I started to like it. You can wear this to bed, to run errands, to work, to go out, summer, winter, you get the idea. It's soft enough to be unoffensive anytime. Add on ~ I finally got my hands on a mini of The One to compare, and they really are almost identical. L'eau the One is a bit softer but not much.

so today i had a bottle of D&G l'eau the one and a bottle of Britney Spears Curious in my purse. i love the smell of the d&g but it literally lasts .2 seconds. I read on a few of these reviews that it lasts a long time. I can douse myself in this and not smell it seconds later. i though maybe it was just me, but i asked others, and they cant smell it either. i dont understand why D&G wouls make a perfume like this. the scent is great, but it has less strength than a body splash. Anyway, i had to put Britney Spears Curious on so i could actually enjoy my scent!

hi Soofyia! I do have both original and L ́Eau and Im doing now a test spraying one of each on each of my wrists.....and they are really almost indistinguishable! and I can say, my nose is really pretty experienced and sensitive...I couldnt say which is which, maybe just L ́eau a little bit less durable, but same intensity ans same scent from the beginning PS: I bought them both just purely because I fell in love with both flakons! I own the luxus golden edition of The One and this silver cap was so attractive to me too so I had to have them both ;)

Wonderful scent - just so sweet I can stand, without dislike it. Stays for many hours on my skin. New favourite! The basenote is a little bit powdery and I can also find a small hint of leather and toffee - and they are not includeed in the perfum. Eau de Toilette-version. Härlig doft som överraskade mig! Öppnar fruktigt sött men det söta djupnar strax ner i en mjukare o varmare ton. Basnoten är aningens pudrig med en hint av läder och kola - de är inte inkluderade i doftnoterna alls.. Sitter länge på huden, 4-5 timmar. Eau de Toilette- versionen

Love at first sniff: L'eau the One is such a delightful blend of vanilla, musk, fruit (I detect lychee most of all) and white flowers! Plus it's gorgeously powdery, like Penhaligon's Artemisia or Salvatore Ferragamo's Signorina (I love both - and both for the powdery sweetness). It's feminine, warm and seductive, but without crossing the border, so it can be safely worn in the office. On me it lasts at least 10 hours, heavy to moderate sillage. At first it may be overpowering, but after a quarter it quiets down to wearable.

This smells almost identical to the original The One. The opening is dominated by the litchi, or maybe it just seems that way because I really dislike that note. Once I emerge from the litchi cloud it's all good. The dry-down really is very beautiful. I just love it and it's worth waiting through the opening and mid notes for me. When I spray it on, I just make sure to wait a couple hours before smelling my wrist and by then the scent has morphed into something very sensual, warm and inviting.

This perfume did not work with my skin:(It smelled very artificial to me & even a bit sour.I cant say what the sour note was because I had a hard time picking out single notes.I normally love the notes that this carries but sadly I couldn't recognized them here.It did last quite a while & was light enough to wear in the hot weather today.I can not compare this to the EDP because I fail to remember it exactly but from what I do remember this is less sweet,less fruity then the original.

The One being a bit too rich for me, this version is perfect. Basically a fresher lighter version of the original, easier to wear , still as distinctive as the original, in a softer way.. Lovely, I really like it, the vanilla isn't as boozy as in the original, and on me longevity is good,pretty vanilla scent, still quite stylish and modern.The lychee gives it a more bubbly edge, deliciously sweet..a welcome flanker in my opinion, not everyone likes the boozy quality of the original.

Sugar plum fairies dancing on a cloud of vanilla & cotton! Delicate, sweet, and fruity. Beautiful jasmine and lily make this very desirable. It's sexy, yet innocent with a creamy (amber & moss) dry down, too. There is powerdy finish which I don't mind either. Although it's an EDT, it holds beautifully on the skin. It is just as lovely as The One, but every note seems more enhanced and is projected better on me. My fave of the Trio!

i actually love the base notes the most! they smell like a warm honey to me. (mochachino, i saw.. and i can see why someone would smell that:)) but i really wanted this one to last. and i too, think it is more elegant than the original. i even sprayed it on my clothes and cant geit to stay... :( i envy that somehow it stays on you amelie!!!!

It is very much like The One, just a little lighter, perfect for spring. The opening is more refreshing. On my skin I can smell a creamy litchi and a sirupy peach. The vanilla is not overpowering, which is good because i am not a vanilla lover. Well-balanced. However I prefer the original The One because it has stronger lasting power.

I absolutely LOVE the original EDP, so i bought this after only a quick test on my wrist. The plan was to wear this as a daytime version of it for the winter months. However, this manages to give me a slight headache most days. Maybe a stronger musk note ruins this version for me.. Will try to use it again next winter.

I prefer this over the OG. Don't get me wrong the OG is very nice...just maybe a little too strong for my liking. L'eau is exactly what it says it is....a lighter version. Same DNA...same great performance and lasting power. Such a beautiful dry-down. 8/10

I like it but it smells a lot like my Guess for Women. I do have to say I get compliments on this. I think it is much better than the original The One which I found to be stifling , too strong.

I just bought this perfume and it smells so nice , more of a fall scent though I have been searching for the body lotion and cannot find it anywhere Can anyone help :-)

A beautiful soft light spring fragrance. Also great for wearing to the office as it wouldn't offend anyone and get in anyone's face.

I liked it. Citrusy clean and fresh. Because of the advertisements I was expecting something sweet but this suprised me.

its a parfum with personality :)

I disagree that D&G L'EAU THE ONE is "fresher" than THE ONE. L'EAU THE ONE opens rather fruitily but then settles into a somewhat confusing drydown that seems somehow discordant to my nose. According to the listed notes, the only difference between the original and the flanker (aside, no doubt, from proportions) is that L'EAU THE ONE contains oakmoss, which THE ONE does not. So I infer that it is the oakmoss that makes the drydown of L'EAU THE ONE less appealing than that of THE ONE. As a chypre lover, I am a big fan of oak moss, in the appropriate composition. Here it doesn't seem to work. This flanker strikes me as a case of fiddling with something that didn't need to be fixed. I definitely prefer the original THE ONE, which seems more coherent and generally more pleasant.

I must echo siv55 on this one--"L'eau dear!" Maybe I'll add "Oh, L'eau they didn't!" I bought a small sample of this because, fun-loving chlorinated water critter that I am, I was attracted to the "L'eau." I am a sucker for anything that says L'eau, water, H20, Aqua, Acqua, Ocean, etc...despite my tale of woe in seeking an aquatic that works with my body chemistry. Anyway...I really should have checked the notes on this site first for any actual Aqua in it! There isn't any! And what's worse--when I uncorked the little sample vial (after some difficulty), the screechingly sweet smell that shot out was so overpowering that I couldn't even bring myself to put it on my skin! I recorked it and let my neighbor have it. L'eau, well.

This fragrance reminds a lot the original The One, only it's a little bit lighter and less sweet with the noticeable seductive plum note. It's sweet and yummy, too. Like in The One, the most noticeable notes are the radiant mandarin note, the tasty lychee note and the beautiful lily note mixed with a lot of vanilla, only plus the seductive plum note. And the bergamot note saves this fragrance from being too sweet and intensive like in the original, too. First I preferred L`eau The One to The One, maybe because I'm a huge enough plum note lover. But now I prefer The One, because it's more intensive. But anyway, they both are sexy and catchy!

For me this is too heavy on the vanilla and I have had nasty headaches each time I have tried it. I swear that I can smell tobacco too! Vanilla, tobacco and the faintest of faint fruit. Predictably, since I don't like it, the longevity is around 6-8 hrs (whereas my favourites only seem to last about 2hrs...Le sigh...) It may not be my cup of tea, but I have had compliments from other people when I wear it, so I guess my it goes to show that it is all a matter of different tastes!

Something in this triggers my allergies and I get a runny nose and my eyes start to itch. This is not a bad fragrance but it not the best and certainly not worth with the side effects. I'm guessing one of the lily notes doesn't agree with me since almost all my favorite fragrances have jasmine which has never been an issue. I do not know why I've kept this for so long but it needs to go lol

That fragrance I cannot enjoy. Too strong, too much lily, lily of the valley and amber. I don't enjoy the original The One, but Rose The One was quite promising and so I decided to try this one. Unfortunately this is more similar to The One. It's overpowering, sharp, suffocating...just too much.

too sweet, resembles me honeysucles. i bought 50ml bottle and tries to like it, really tried,as i am a fan of sweet perfumes. but today i finally sold it and gladly buy something else :)also too powdery, nothing special
