The One Desire

Gorgeous, sweet, warm, creamy, feminine, sensual, seductive, chic, elegant, classy, fruity, floral, citrusy, fresh, powdery, rich, deep, alluring, sexy, cozy, comforting I did previously review this, but I thought I would see if I couldn’t describe it better now after I’ve been using it more recently. On me this opens with a burst of sweet, fresh, bright, and fruity mandarin orange, litchi, and bergamot, with some sweet and delicately citrusy lily-of-the-valley, creamy floral tuberose, and warm and creamy vanilla. As it dries down it really starts to shine as it grows deeper, warmer, sweeter, and more rich. The sweet and creamy vanilla and caramel, the warm and golden amber, and the softly sweet powdery musk and woody scent of sandalwood become prominent. The notes that are the most prominent overall to me are the mandarin orange, tuberose, vanilla, caramel, and amber. I also own The One (the original formula), and I do find them quite similar, yet also different enough to want to have both in my collection. Desire has the same dna as The One, but Desire is sweeter, warmer, deeper, and sexier, while The One is more fruity and floral. I absolutely love both of these, and pretty much equally as well (though I tend to just slightly prefer Desire). I think The One is more suited for year round wear and it’s something that I tend to reach for if I want something that’s romantic feeling. Desire feels best suited for fall and winter, or nighttime during warmer weather, and it’s something I reach for when I want something sexy. I got my first bottle of Desire a little over 10 years ago whenever it first launched, and loved it so much that I grabbed a backup bottle right away. Unfortunately this has been discontinued, but I hope to still have it for many years to come because it’s one of my favorites. I get exceptional performance with The One Desire. The longevity is amazing... it lasts throughout the entire day on me, and I can still smell it the next morning. The projection is great, it radiates out a few feet from me, but it’s not offensive. It creates this lovely scent bubble around me, and leaves a beautiful soft trail. I only need a few sprays to get these results, so I think that makes this a very good value.

YUM!! YUM!!!!!!!!!! First off I ADORE The One, always have always will but it has to be applied very very lightly (spray a Q-tip then delicately stroke it on my wrist and neck) or it becomes unbearable and gives me a headache. In short a little goes a loooooooong way! I was in Macy's today and walked by the D&G fumes, I always sniff the bottle for The One (even though I own it), it just makes me happy to smell it. I noticed the had the tester bottle of The One Desire out so I sprayed it on a card, I got my hand in the process too. On the way home from the mall I kept sniffing my hand because it smelled so good. It smelled exactly like The One only lighter, not as overpowering as The One very wearable for daytime. I keep smelling the card I sprayed it on and it smells much better on my skin than it does on the card....usually it is the other way around! I am getting a bottle of this asap!! I know it will last forever too as The One lasts all day plus. Sillage: 2/5 very very close to the skin, unless you over do it, then it's a major projector. Longevity: 5/5 (I predict) still going very strong after 4 hours, the original The One lasts 18 hours plus on me (I can still detect it after a shower most of the time). In conclusion: I like this even better than the original The One! It is on a very short list of "MUST haves!!!".... :0) Update: still love this stuff but the longevity is not as long as I was hoping for, it lasted about 5 hours then vanished, I'm getting a small bottle with an order to Sephora (deluxe trial bottle).

I'm not usually a big fan of tuberose, but apparently when it's paired with caramel and litchi, it smells divine! This is exactly what I smell in this perfume by the way, at first blast it smells like sweet, juicy litchi with a little caramel mixed in. Then, I really start to smell the caramel and then the tuberose starts to appear. I can smell them all at some point but the first 20 minutes or so are just litchi and caramel to my nose. I was so happy that I could smell the sandalwood in the drydown because it's one of my favorite notes. The longevity on this scent is not all that great - maybe 4-5 hours. I got it at a really good price so I'm not going to complain too much, but I do like it a lot so of course I wish it would last longer. The sillage is also quite modest; tuberose is usually loud on my skin, but it stays pretty tame in this scent. There are certain aspects of this one that remind me a little of the original; there's one point in the scent where they bare some similarities and I think that maybe it could be the way the litchi and vanilla are blended. I thought this was going to be one of those - I like it better in cold weather scents - but I think this is going to be very nice for the spring; it's lighter and juicier than I expected. I have to agree with so many others, the bottle is lovely and luckily, I really enjoy the juice inside!

Oh! I'm so amazed by this perfume! It's absolutely divine and it totally works for me. When I first took a sniff at the paper I said "WOOW" out loud! I tried it on my skin and it was just as good. Something very alluring with this scent I think. It's sweet, but not too sweet, creamy but still fresh, fruity yet warm and soft without it fading away instantly. On me the longevity is fine, though it calms down a bit in the dry down. The sillage is ok I guess (so not to the extent that it will choke people around you). It's girly and mature at the same time. Sexy and sensual but still daytime appropriate. I'm so glad I found it! I had the original The One which I loved at first, until I found it to powerful for me (didn't develop much). I asked the sales lady to help me out when searching for a new perfume and I was about to stop her when she reached for The One Desire (since I had bad experience with the original), but I'm soooo happy I didn't! I've only worn "T.O.Desire" a couple of days now, but I can def. imagine this to be my new go-to frangrance and maybe even a new signature. To me this is just YUMMY. Man am I glad I finally found this! Without help I never would have discovered it. I left the store with a new EDP and a BIG smile on my face! I will repurchase this one!! (warning: it's quite pricy)

This has one of the most beautiful openings of any fragrance ever. I just love the intoxicating blend of bergamot, mandarin, and litchi, which is the main opening note, and smells really delicious. It's a shame that the top notes don't last very long, because they really are to die for. :) The scent dries down quickly; and then tuberose rules its heart. But it's not too heady and overwhelming (as tuberose can be, for example, in Madonna's Truth or Dare). This one is quite soft and warm, coated in sweet caramel with some fruity accents. The One Desire is sexy and voluptuous, bold, and quite intense. It's a very well blended composition of many, some might say, contrasting accords – there are the fruity tropical notes, heavy white florals, fresh citruses and the gourmand undertones. Although it might seem like an unusual composition, The One Desire does a really good job at blending these notes. It's not all so different from the original The One, but I find Desire much more interesting. I'd recommend it if you enjoy elegant, grown up sweet scents, because Desire truly is a wonderful one. ♥ ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

I absolutely love this perfume! It always make me feel sexy. Unfortunately i lost my almost full bottle at a hotel last new year, and because it has discontinued its very hard to find. I had this bottle for a while, because I only use this for special occasions ( always keep my perfumes cool an dark) I bought a new one on e-bay. On an trustworthy shop in England with good rating. The bottle arrived, the package looked good, the bottle looked just like my old bottle, but there is something about this that isn’t right? Its not that intense and seductive as it use to be, and it doesn’t stay on my skin. The old bottle i had seam to stay on my skin even after a shower. I could smell it lightly in my hair even after I washed it. So? Is this a fake one? Did the perfume change? There is still some bottles out there, is it worth to try another one? Anyone knows?

I am wearing a sample of this tonight. This is what I wanted Kenzo Amour to be. I sprayed one spray on my wrists and walked through a mist. It's sweet but not so sweet that I am put off by it. I do smell the tuberose but in a good, creamy way as in Michael Kors. I notice the orange more at first but not so much upon dry down. The musk, vanilla, tuberose, amber and caramel come out then. I'm guessing the litchi is the unfamiliar scent I can't put my finger on. The combination is sexy, nice and sultry yet soft and not overpowering. Often, i find musky vanilla scents can end up powdery. I love that this didn't turn powdery on me at all. After about 3-4 hours, it did get a lot softer. I wonder if I sprayed a few more sprays if it would last longer. I'm adding it to my wish list!

This is most definitely desirable, it is on the list of wants. It was a while ago since I had it spritzed on my wrist so I cannot remember the notes but I do remember that the moment I raised my wrists to my nose I was blown away by its heady recipe and the fact that it lasted the rest of the day on my wrist ... ... well, now I want it so badly but I have my lovely Tresor to replace, so I have to write a PFL. Priority Fragrance List - and tick them off as I go. Edit: I own this too! Proper review will feature on you tube and blog. Edit 2: This fragrance survived on my skin for well over 12 hours - with just one extra spritz throughout the day which, quite frankly, was just a self indulgence on my part. I can still smell it on my top! So, worth the buy!

Since I have a full 2.5 oz bottle of this beauty coming to me from a swap I tested it today at Sephora. At first the caramel is most prominent. It's luscious and rich, with the sweet-sour lychee peeking thru the caramel veil, It's as if the fruit had been dipped in the sauce. The gourmand nuances end there, however. As the caramel slowly mellows down out pops spicy, yet creamy tuberose that lasts for an hour or two on me. The dry down softens even more to a soft, powdery combo of tuberose and amber. Lovely! Update: The luscious caramel makes a return appearance in the background of the drydown (sans the lychee note). Sillage is medium but noticeable. I was complimented several times. Longevity? About 12 hours on my skin

This is a gorgeous fragrance! So addictive. It starts off with a burst of sweet floral fruitiness, then it calms down into a scent of yummy goodness. The caramel and lychee combination are just divine. It is a deeper scent however the longevity is not that great, only last around 3 hours. A bit pricey for a scent that doesn't last that long, also don't like the fact that you can't see how much fragrance is left in the bottle. Good to wear in the winter, it's nice and cosy but sexy at the same time. My man loves the smell of this on me too, he always has sniff me and say something when I wear it. Definitely in my top 5 for sure.

I like this version of The One. From the elegant bottle design to oozing juice inside. I could image wearing a little black dress had a spray or two with this perfume and feeling so seductive and sexy. This is a head-turner. It may be sweet but not girly teenage sweet. In my initial experience, whenever I think that there are notes that didn't agree with me or whenever I think that I wouldn't like it, the scent will change that makes me loving it more. It's really a seducing frag, the more you resist it, the more you will love it! :)

This happens to be one of the most unusual scents I own. It's quite hard to explain, it's a gorgeous warm deep scent that I would personally only wear in the winter. I think the mixture of the strong caramel and litchi note gives it this sweet sharpness that makes it so unique to most fragrances out there. It's long lasting and the dry down is beautiful. I can't wait for the cooler months to get here so I can start wearing it some more. The bottle is stunning! It looks amazing on a dressing table, sitting out, ready to be used.

Oh my God! Love at third sniff. First, I thought it is the same as the original The One (which is something I adore on others, but can't stand on myself). My second oopinion was...it is a lighter, more wearable version of The One, but basically still the same. Finally, I'm in love. Very sweet, but in a mature way, lovely and extraordinary. Loud perfume with decent longetivity. It still really close to the original, but so much better! Less oriental to my nose. Test it on skin, before you buy! Worth trying... :)

I find this to be very similar to the original The One, but definitely a sexier version. I think it’s very feminine and floral, but deeper and warmer than The One, so it’s excellent for the colder months of fall and winter. It has a lovely warm and subtle sweetness to it. It’s romantic and seductive, but in an elegant way. I typically get great longevity with my fragrances, and The One Desire is no exception... it lasts the entire day. The projection is nice too, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me.

The more I smell different perfumes (trying to find something new), the more I appreciate the One Desire. Every time I smell something I find overly sweet or too citrusy I comfort and remind myself that I've already got this fantastic scent in my collection. I should just stop looking for something else for a while, 'cause all I need is right here in this bottle :) The perfect balance between caramel sweet and floral fresh. So niiiice! PS! I receive a lot of compliments on this one, mostly from men.

as a man, i think this fragrance is very classy and sophisticated, seductive but not tawdry. maybe not for teen agers, better for 25 and older. very versatile, good for all seasons, better for night. da uomo dico che questo profumo è molto buono, sofisticato, ha una buona proiezione ed è piacevole. è seduttivo senza essere eccessivo o volgare. non adatto a ragazzine e cafonette, meglio per ragazze dai 25 in sù. penso sia adatto a tutte le stagioni, preferibilmente la sera. vote 8,5/10

I just love this perfume! when i fist saw this Black bottle with this simple yet elegant and rich black stopper on it (which reminded me of an Onyx stone) it sort of whispered to me "Im mysterious" But when I sprayed some on I thought it was just like anything else. However, I would sniff my wrist every now and then and with every sniff let me tell you that there was a "moan". The notes? I don't have a damn clue, it just smells really good and makes me feel sexier.

This is a very elegant perfume - from the black bottle with its strong lines and gilded lid to the beautifully formulated scent. This is a "little black dress" perfume - classy and sophisticated, though not necessarily the biggest head-turner at the party. I love that this a "fruity floral" with enough of a dark base to not smell too sweet. I smell lots of caramel, with good amounts of mandarin, lychee and lily-of-the-valley.

All of the notes combine on me to give me a fuzzy peach and velvety plush red rose scent. The caramel and sandalwood combine to give this a rich, deep ambery base. This is both sweeter and denser than the original. The original was meant for daytime; this one gives me images of opium dens. It hints at something deeper, something slightly offbeat and a little dangerous. It is darkly tempting, and I've fallen for it.

Absolutely divine, it's the kind of perfume you just cannot stop sniffing. I can definitely smell caramel which I love and a strong fruity note which must be litchi, anyway it is completely beautiful. I do wish it lasted a little longer though, after a few hours it seems to lose all projection and I need to re-apply. But that's okay, I got a big bottle so I can do that and it's worth it for the amazing scent.
