The One Essence

I'm seriously in love with D&G the one l'eau and knowing that they have discontinued that amazing perfume stops me from using it as much as I like.I tested original the one long ago and can't remember it's exact scent,I just remember that while very similar to l'eau flanker,it lacked what I saw as l'eau's magic.then I purchased the one desire and it couldn't replace my beloved the one l'eau either Recently I received a bunch of samples,the one essence was among them and I'm gladly seeing that I love it almost as much as the one l'eau. In a side by side test,I can see that they're not identical but more than 90% similar.essence is a bit warmer and more sweet while l'eau has a bit of freshness and is more floral.whenever I go through my bottle of precious l'eau,I can buy essence instead and enjoy the same heavenly creamy deliciousness The one essence is a well blended combination of vanilla,fruits and flowers.it's not overly peachy on me.fruits aren't juicy or fresh.it's as if I'm smelling a fruit-flavoured vanilla cream.I don't find a strong amber note here.it just adds more warmth,depth and sweetness without turning this to a balsamic scent.what makes me love this perfume and also the one l'eau is their creamy white floral heart.lily to be more specific.in some of The one family members I find this white floral accord non-descript.like a mix of different white floral notes but in essence and l'eau flankers I can really pickup lots of lily.and it's so realistic,creamy,sweet and softly spicy.so on my skin vanilla and lily standout the most,then comes fruits and amber and a touch of soft and sweet powder It's a superfeminine scent.smells expensive,classy and at the same time friendly and inviting.younger ladies can love it for it's creamy yummy undertone and it also suits more adult ladies because of it's feminine florals,amber and powder so I'd call it ageless.I can see that most people have rated it as a cold weather perfume.they're right.but I can see myself using it year round,both days and nights.I was very satisfied by The one l'eau's longevity and sillage.The one essence is even more potent.just one spray on each of my wrists,one on my neck and one on my hair and I can smell it the whole day on myself and leave a perfumes tail while walking.just like The one l'eau,essence is a big complement magnet. If one day I stop collecting perfume and decide to have a signature,this would be my first choice.I hope D&G never discontinues this gorgeous fragrance Make sure to test it on your skin as it acts totally different on different people

10/10 one of my favorite perfumes right now as the weather finally gets cooler. For anyone saying this doesn’t last- did you get a fake? Maybe you’re anosmic to it? This scent is gorgeous and lasts a good deal. Whenever someone says something doesn’t last, they’re usually spraying like 2 sprays. If you want your scent to last you need to spray it more. I sprayed this 4 hours ago and it’s still going strong and giving good silage. I absolutely love how well done the peach is in this scent. I have I want choo by Jimmy Choo and the peach in that is so powdery I almost get nauseated. This peach is so nice and smooth, very little powdery smell but just enough. I absolutely love this fragrance and it was a sucessful blind buy. You can find this scent very affordable and in my opinion it’s what the one should’ve been. The OG the one is pretty but it’s too faint. This is definitely deeper and more intense but not in your face. You get a nice scent tail but it isn’t overpowering. Absolutely gorgeous fragrance that I will likely empty the 2 oz bottle before spring. This could be worn anytime of year but I think she’s going to really shine in the frigid Chicago winter for me

Opens up strong, with peaches and cream, really decadent and sexy. As it lingers, it projects lily, amber and bergamot, it smells like a juicy tea in a room filled with fresh cut flowes, very fresh. The drydown is long and sultry, with vetiver and vanilla lasting about 6 hours in total on my skin. This was a blind buy for me, and I'm so glad I took the chance. It's not just another fruity vanilla. It's a decadent, sexy, yet also sophisticated scent. It's best suited for nightwear, as it does project quite a bit. I got many compliments when using as daywear, so it does strike people, and is very noticeable. I will definitely repurchase, as it is my signature scent these days.

This is advertised as an Essence De Parfum. I have J’Adore L’Or which is also an Essence De Parfum. I just received this from blind buying it. I can already tell you that D&G is not anywhere near the same level as Dior. There is a reason why I got this so cheap on FragranceX. Tbh, I’m loving the smell... but this is not concentrated perfume. This is a mockery of what a parfum should be. It’s darkly colored to make you assume it’s strong. However, I’m pretty sure that I have EDT’s that are stronger than this. Very sad. I love the smell though

This is an ultra feminine perfume and beast mode. Only a little bit have but rich and elegant. This is not girly but it is also not very mature. For me its a women in her 30s-45s who is independent and knows what she is looking for without losing her feminine side. I wear this in winter because it is warm and cosy. I cannot understand any bad reviews here. I believe this is a very classy perfume which does not lose its worth over time. Surely not a gourmand , not sharp not fresh but stable, classy, elegant, making itself noticeable.
