Rose The One

I actually picked this one out for myself and I decided to ask it for a gift because it was for an amazingly low price, and I thought the scent was quite wonderful. I know I really enjoy this perfume, but I can't yet tell if I like Rose The One, or if I love it. That will take a bit more time for me. EDIT: I LOOOOVE this :) Oh it took a little bit, but now I'm totally in love with this scent! What I can already tell is that this scent is very soft and elegant. It's classy in a youthful way. Rose The One makes me picture a young lady in a pastel colored dress walking around in a rose garden. Obviously I think of the rose garden because of the roses in this perfume, but I think what really makes it a garden instead of a rose bouquet, is the freshness the grapefruit note brings to this scent. I do very much like the adds for Rose The One, but I honestly don't think of Scarlett Johanson in a sensual setting at all. To me this scent is more innocent and pure than alluring. I think the bottle is stunning and I adore the rosegold color. I got the 30ml version and honestly the bottle looks like it could contain more than just the 30ml. Sometimes the small version bottles don't look as pretty as the bigger sizes which is really irrotating, but I really appricate that D&G didn't make the smaller bottles any less luxorius and expencive looking as the bigger ones. For me the most identifiable notes are obviously the rose as the most dominant scent, the fresh grapefruit and maybe the slightest bit of musk and some sort of white flowers, but I personally would have not been able to recognize it as peony. For me it's hard to say about the litchi, whis is voted here as the second main note because I don't actually know what litchi smells like. Rose the One is definitelly nonoffencive and innocently elegant. Very likable all in all.

:) :) D&G Rose the One is a fresh, airy, elegant, feminine rose scent, although that was not my first impression of it. When I first tried it after making a blind buy, I was unpleasantly surprised. I sprayed it once on the back of my hand. The scent I got was soooo strong and harsh that my eyes teared up. I was so bummed since I had been expecting a yummy, sweet fruity rose like most other perfumes with a litchi note. Then I went out. As I was driving, I noticed something smelling really good. I sniffed around and realized it was the perfume I just sprayed. I wore the perfume a couple times after that, and finally realize what this perfume is about. I think this perfume has a very concentrated formula, but the scent itself is very light and airy. I figure it was made so concentrated so that it keeps releasing its awesomeness throughout the day, hence it's a good quality perfume with good longevity and sillage. It easily lasts for 6 hours on my skin. The scent is very well-blended. There's rose in it, but it's not straight-up rose like the Paul Smith Rose. It smells like if you blend up an entire rose plant with its petals and vine, with a few lilies, some lemon peels, and a litchi. It's very balanced. It's a soft green floral with a hint of sweetness. Extremely pleasurable and elegant. This one, Paul Smith Rose and Roses De Chloe are my favorite rose trio. They each represents a different theme. I really love this perfume. It's a 10/10 on my scale. :) :)

W-O-W!! This fragrance is everything I was hoping it would be... and more! Here's my story:... I was looking for a floral perfume that would be gentle, fresh and womanly. I usually don't like floral perfume and I was motivated to find one that I would enjoy. I saw Rose The One for the first time on Fragrantica and thought the bottle looked sophisticated (and Scarlett Johansen is stunning in the advertisement!). So I decided to order a small bottle online. I received in the mail few days ago and was so excited when I opened the box. The box and bottle are simply gorgeous!!! The first whiff was disappointing. I thought I had smelled several perfumes like this one before... So I jumped in the shower today and thought I would give it a real try. I put it on and fell completely in love, head over heels!!! It smells like real fresh cut roses, but I also get a hint of white floral, with a teeny tiny touch of citrus and sweetness. It is definitely not overpowering, and I feel like my nose is already getting used to this fragrance, which is a good sign that it suits me. The down side is that I don't smell it as well as I did 10 minutes ago... Can't wait for my man to get home and tell me what he thinks!

I think this is a lovely perfume for those who like the original The One but want a fruitier and softer fragrance. The initial sprays had that lychee note that D&G does so well and then a powdery sweetness similar to a honey note sets in (from the vanilla)- the rose is only barely there though. I think the fruits overpower what rose there is. If you are seeking a complete rose you might be disappointed. Rose the one is a sensuous and romantic day perfume where as The One is an outspokenly sexy evening fragrance- however there isn't too much of a need to have both of them since the base is that same powdery vanilla. Rose the One lasted about 4-5 hours with moderate sillage in the first two, then soft for the rest. It is a refreshing fruity/floral/powdery that I would like to have if fate graces me with it, but not entirely one I'd seek to have as I own the original. Edit: I'd like to add that during the summer it became a spicy rose on me. Not my cup of tea. I prefer The One over this as it has more lychee with a better powder vanilla base.

I FINALLY picked up a bottle of this little gem and I couldn't be happier!! The only con to Rose The One is the longevity - usually about 3 hours. It does last a little bit longer on clothing, and lotion can increase its length and potency as well. Nonetheless, Rose The One is the quintessential jeans fragrance and I highly recommend it. Rose The One doesn't deviate too much from the initial spray, but that's quite alright with me! Lovely lychee and beautiful rose dominate this delicate scent for the duration of its wear. It's elegant enough for a nice dinner, but best suited in my opinion to jeans and a flowy top. I keep a large number from my collection in rotation, but this is likely one I'll be wearing more frequently, as its projection is modest and inoffensive: perfect for close quarters (work, school)! I was only able to afford the 1oz bottle, but it is all but guaranteed that when my little bottle is done, I'll be back for more. Love!
