The One For Men Eau de Parfum Intense

D&G The One Intense Men EDP opens with a strong projection of sweet, and mostly spicy notes. The cardamon is the most prominent note and in combination with the benzoin creates a very sweet and spicy opening. The cardamom in this fragrance is sweet, spicy, and bitter; whereas the benzoin is warm resinous, sweet, with a vanilla-like touch. The neroli and cypress are also opening notes, but they just add a light white floral and woody touch. It is not long before the cashmeran, labdanum, and leather develop introducing mostly a leather note that is smooth, aromatic, and very projecting. The rest of the notes have just light participation. The fragrance has a quick opening to dry-down transition, the opening is sweet and spicy; it quickly turns into sweet, spicy, and leathery. Once D&G The One Intense Men EDP has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a strong projection, very sweet (benzoin), spicy (cardamom), and leathery fragrance. The fragrance feels aromatic, bitter, comforting, cozy, creamy, delectable, dense, intense, inviting, leathery, long-lasting, masculine, modern, nicely-blended, resinous, rich, special, sweet, unique, warm, woody, and very pleasant.

The Cuddle King, masterpiece of the Netflix and chill. I use this fragrance for one purpose and one purpose only. To cuddle up with a lady. But let me tell you it KILLS it for that purpose. The original is great for a date night OUT, the tobacco in the original make it more sophisticated and attention grabbing, but it is also a note a lot of girls aren't going to be too keen on sticking there nose in for 2.5 hours straight. The EDP intense on the other hand is better suited for a date night IN. It is comfort in a bottle. It is rich, creamy, powdery, and smells like soft leather and cashmere which has caused multiple girls to proclaim they just want to curl up in the scent and I have once even been asked to give it to a girl so she could spray it on her cuddle blanket at home. Also it has a mostly vanilla with a hint of chocolate essence in their plus a little bit of animalic scent which makes it both addicting and sexy. Projection on this isn't beastly.... Thank god. I don't know why so many people on these reviews seem to think that fragrances aren't good unless they have headache inducing levels of projection. Projection shouldn't be graded on a scale of good to bad, I use different colognes for different purposes and want a projection that matches that purpose. Leave the Versace's of the fragrance world for the club, that's not what this is for. Those types of colognes will be too overpowering to want to snuggle close to and will most likely give a girl a headache by the time the movies over. Besides, even if the girl likes the fragrance if she can smell it from a the other side of the couch what's compelling her to move closer? In these situations you want an intimate cologne that's going to lure them in for a closer smell. This stuff is perfect for that purpose. As I mentioned earlier it is addicting so they'll feel naturally compelled to come in closer for a better smell of it and once they're there they will feel warm and comfortable in the scent and not want to leave.

The One For Men Eau de Parfum Intense is the boldest and most sophisticated interpretation of The One line. Here, Dolce & Gabbana takes the fragrance in a fuller, warmer, and more seductive direction, reinforcing the line's spicy DNA with notes of leather and amber. The matte black bottle perfectly conveys this more serious, nocturnal approach. Opening: Marked by neroli and cardamom, it brings a spicy and slightly citrusy freshness, but already with a fuller depth. Heart: Cashmeran appears with its woody and resinous texture, combined with cypress, which adds an elegant green touch. Base: Rich and warm, with leather and benzoin, delivering sensuality and presence. This base is what sets the EDP Intense apart from other flankers, bringing weight and personality. Longevity: Average 6 to 8 hours, depending on the skin tone, with excellent lasting power for evening wear. Projection/Trail: Strong in the first hours, creating a striking presence, then lingers envelopingly, closer to the skin but still noticeable. It is clearly more intense than The One Grey and The One Sport. Perfect for evenings, romantic dates, sophisticated dinners, and social events in cooler climates. It works very well in winter and fall, but can be worn on cool spring evenings. It is not the best choice for intense heat or casual everyday situations, as its intensity can feel heavy. It shines in winter and fall. Wearable on spring/summer evenings, as long as the dosage is controlled. Final Score 8.7/10 The One For Men Eau de Parfum Intense is the most mature, elegant, and sensual version of the line. It delivers an enveloping combination of spices, leather, and amber, creating a striking and seductive aura. Its performance is satisfactory, especially for a designer perfume, but could be a little longer lasting considering the "Intense" line. In short: a sophisticated, nocturnal fragrance, ideal for those seeking impact and presence on special occasions, but should be used with caution in hot weather.

Bergamot citrus + hint of Lemon + Ginger + Neroli + touch of aromatic Sage + cooling Cypress + Coconut Milk + Cardamom + dark Tonka + Musk + creamy orange Labdanum + Powder + White Pepper + Leather It is a completely different scent than the EDT & EDP. For a designer this is pretty good. I think the bottle makes you think it's better than it really is. It does smell a bit like the cliché Designer men's fragrance (dark overly sweet Tonka with Cardamom), but it's decent quality and smells sexy. Nothing too special, other than the added Coconut note. Creamy coconutty scent (not suntan lotion, but coconut milk in cans to cook with) + has a slight baby-powder scent like Prada 'Luna Rosa Black'. Id label this in the 'cuddle scent' category. And it also smells great on clothes too! Low projection, med. longevity, intoxicating, addicting, dark, mysterious, pulls you in, yummy - buuuut, has a bit of a metro-sexual late 90's vibe, which is considered lame mentality today. :/ Because of the metro-sexual vibe that died in the 90's, i lost respect for it as i can't see myself confidently wear it anywhere which makes me not like it as much. I asked myself what this frag needs to be great, and i think a quality incense note would be amazing in it to modernize it and make it an incredible head-turning frag. Might try to layer it with Oud For Greatness and see how it pans out. You know, im starting to think these coconut frags are good for beachy vacations only...lol I 'Like' this, not a 'Love', and i never reached for it in 2 years. The bottle is heavy and piano black gloss gorgeous. The EDP is the superior one in the 5 frag line. 3.5/5 Woofs!

ATH rated this woody-sweet (my favourite type) a 10 and it immediately intrigued me. Sexily sweet without any vanilla or musks which is refreshing contrast to trends these days. The opening is effervescent there's some type of citrus even though its not listed. Cardamom and cypress combo is beautiful to keep it sharp while the clary sage sweetens. Once the freshness subsides, the neroli pulls everything together giving it an airy powdery vibe; extremely light, no where near the powderiness of orris. At the moment the performance is mid, lasts about 4hrs on lotioned skin. I hope this improves with maceration. Weak projector but definitely has effective sillage. I get compliments when moving about in the office or common areas. Once a random lady also tapped my shoulders from the back to ask what it was, unfortunately she wanted to buy it for her husband dang it. Suitable for all occasions except the beach. Impossible to offend and easy to appreciate. I feel The One EDP Intense has similar backlash like Dior Homme 2020; they would have been more positively received if branded to something else rather than a flanker of a crowd favourite. People need to enjoy fragrances as they are instead of pigeonholing them by name. 9/10 for me, 10/10 if maceration improves longevity.
