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.

Dont seem to be anything that pleases this crowd but whatever. I think its pretty nice so far, it feels like a darker and deeper The One edp . It starts off very familiar but takes a turn after a short bit to a really nice but different scent, I mean it changes almost completely I'd say which I am really liking. I think this is what a perfect flanker does, it takes the familiarity of the original and spins it in a completely different direction. This smells almost nothing like main stream frags, it's actually daring in many ways that you dont see in a bulk of mainstream releases, but it still stays in the realm of good smelling This is a bit sexy ,dark, something a little more mysterious I feel. I love how the notes work here with this If it smelled to close to the edp or og, then folks would bitch about that. So theres no winning with many of the so called fragrances fans, but for me I like what they've done here. The original scent to kick it off then it really breaks into it's own path with subtle hints of the original dna, this is what a good flanker does imo. Glad to see the rating holding at a solid 4.0, I think its deserving. Oh and this is not unisex, I would hate to smell this on a woman.

It opens with cardamom and cypress, giving a warm and fresh start. Neroli comes in early and stays present, adding brightness without making the scent feel too clean or sterile. It’s the first time I’ve smelled a fragrance that uses neroli in a bright way without focusing on freshness. That was a nice surprise, especially since I really enjoy neroli (and petitgrain). It reminds me a little of The One EDP and La Nuit, but it’s not trying to copy them. It’s in the same family, just with a different mood. There’s also a slight fougère touch, but it feels modern—no heavy lavender, no barbershop vibe. Just a clean structure that supports the rest. The drydown is the highlight. It doesn’t fall into wood or vetiver fatigue, and there’s no ink or sharpness. Instead, it turns into a soft, cozy mix of amber and leather. It’s slightly sweet but never too much. It stays close to the skin, feels safe, and smells comforting. Performance is solid, the price is fair, and it works in a lot of situations. It’s not loud or unique, but it’s dependable. Great for casual nights, office air conditioning, or relaxed dates. Easy to wear, no regrets and a safe blind buy.

My favorite designer in my collection. Before I started getting into niche fragrances, this was my favorite fragrance by far. Great pick for dates while still being great in a casual setting. I get a lot of herbaceousness and aromatics off of my skin, which makes this a great pick for me during the springtime. Still warm and sweet, but I get a really nice balance. This is still definitely not a fresh fragrance, it leans much more into colder weather than it does to warm weather. I do understand the similarity between this and Halloween Man Shot, but I think they're still fairly different. While HMS is great during the fall, The One Intense is similarly great during the spring. It's a little synthetic, but not quite to an off-putting degree. To anybody who can't really tell the distinction between niche oils and designer oils, this is totally fine. The performance of this stuff is very middle-of-the-road, leaning towards bad. Arm's length sillage, and 4-6 hours of longevity on my skin. 9/10

I bought this blind on Ebay from a guy who didn't like it, almost full yet around half price it's on sale everywhere else. At first I didn't like it either, not sure why as I couldn't put my finger on it. The dry down sold me though, my favourite scent on a woman is Chanel Mademoiselle, it drives me crazy, and this stuff when it's going through the mids smells like a more masculine CM. I absolutely love it now and prefer it to the original The One EDP. I'm still not mad keen on the opening, but after an hour or so it's phenomenonal. I'm so glad I bought it now as if I'd tried it on test strip in a store (here in my City they won't spray your skin sometimes in case you have an allergic reaction) I'd have swerved it for sure. Projection isn't great and neither is longevity, but this is an intimate scent, to my mind it's not meant to be shared with anyone other than the wearer and the person they want up close. This is date night material, it's not for bar hopping.

I ́m not a fan boy of the original The One EDP, I like it but not a "fan". So, I got this because it had a considerable discount, and I really hit jackpot. This is a really nice scent, the cardamom is different to the one in La Nuit de L ́Homme or the one in Armani Code Profumo, this cardamom is fresher, and the tobacco note from the EDP is completely out in favor of other notes like Leather, the Neroli and Cashmeran is what makes this a unique and sexy parfum, according to my wife, she found both different after a couple smells hours away, but equally sexy, she could not select one that she likes the most, and told me it depends on the day and the mood, with the OG for darker days, the intense for fresher days. The scents in this line are not clubbing/bar scents like sauvage or eros, these are close range scents, not a bar scent, this is a chill and cuddles scent, these are brutal in close range.

I can’t add much to what’s already been written below. This is an outstanding drop. On my skin, the cardamom and leather really throw solid punches. The neroli and patchouli round it off beautifully. Is it better than The One EDP or the EDT? I wouldn’t compare them at all. Different scents. While I get some of the DNA in this from them, this is a slightly darker, warmer vibe, especially when the patchouli opens up. The magic is in the trail it leaves. A world of difference between the scent on the skin and in the air. 3-4 sprays will last you a good 7-8 hours easily, but be warned. This ain’t a moderately projecting scent. It’s pretty strong stuff. Off my skin, it is. Criminally (or as luck might have it), someone gave away a brand new 100ml bottle for $65 AUD. No way was I hanging around to make a decision on that. Best worn in the colder months. Late autumn and winter. Bloody amazing. 👌🏻

The scent is super intoxicating. Really love it. I'm sad that this is not getting the limelight it potentially deserves. Though precisely because of that I can pick it up for relatively cheap price. I do agree with others that the primary downfall of this release is it's released under The One line and as the "intense" flanker. It's pretty questionable on that part if we compare EDT --> EDP "progression" with EDP --> Intense "changes". Probably with this day and age releasing it as the "elixir" could work but even then I'm not that confident. What it took away is just way too "central" to their DNA. If this is releasing under Brand / Line I think it'd be an instant hit. People won't compare this to The one at all. Like with prominence of cardamon and powderiness, I'm thinking of this as a "darker" version of Givenchy Gentleman EDT Intense.

I was wrong for ignoring this flanker, because of the community's impression of it. A different take on a DNA so successful (The One EDT and EDP) doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. This goes a creamier, spicy direction; the cardamom and cashmeran adds a cozy, sexy appeal to it and dare I say it's easier to wear than the original (for me). 6-7 hours on skin with moderate projection which doesn't fall off too quick after the first hour, more like it stagnantly softens as the hours pass by and I'll definitely choose that over having a beast mode projection the first hour then dries to a skin-scent immediately. This is now one of my favorites in my collection, easily. I still don't get the flak that this fragrance receives from the community, but thanks to those people, I'll smell more unique compared to if I wore the EDP.

Bold. Daring. Mysterious. Seductive. And misunderstood. The first time I tested The One EDP Intense, I wanted to scrub it off straightaway because it was so dense and rich. The mistake was to put my nose directly to the skin and I recoiled in disgust. I gave it another test, and was enveloped in a dark leather and bright neroli bubble that was Tom Ford-esque. I imagined The One having a threesome with Ombré Leather and Noir Extreme as Intense smelled to me like elements of those three intertwining as one. The projection and longevity far exceeds The One EDT and EDP. I think this is the best version of The One and would have been wildly popular if it bore the Tom Ford name. Pick Grey for the daytime, Intense for the evenings, and EDT or EDP for Netflix and chill.

There's something addictive about The One Intense. Has a recognizable character, but also something really unique that warrants frequent sniffing. It's a soft, smooth, clean scent that sticks close to the skin but doesn't vanish away quickly. Doesn't smell like it, but it reminds me of Club de Nuit Intense Man due to its distinct citrus/woody construction. It's in that sweer, dark territory. Man, this stuff is so sexy. I wouldn't want it any stronger. The soft character goes so well with the scent profile. I'm glad I bought it. It's so different from every other scent I have. As some folks below have mentioned, it's alluring and mysterious. I can see a woman refusing to stop sniffing her man's neck if he wore this, ha-ha. 🤓

excellent dating fragrance for the evening. Exactly what you’d expect and wish for from a Dolce & Gabbana Intense in a dark bottle. A great alternative to YSL Myslf if you want to switch up your dating scents a little. The fragrance carries the same dark, seductive concept as YSL Myslf. These seductive scents with a dark DNA are truly my signature fragrances. Absolutely blind-buy worthy, crowd-pleasing. From the opening all the way to the drydown, it convinces consistently without ever being off-putting or feeling like something doesn’t fit. Beautifully composed. Allthough the sillage and longevity could be a bit better. All in all, a great, beautiful fragrance and the brother of YSL Myslf.

I really like this. It grew on me. I really didn't like it at first, but it taught me that not all fragrances are supposed to be powerhouses. This has a very pleasant and welcoming smell. You could spray 3-4 times on a date night when you know you'll be upclose, or you could spray it on at night time to feel a luxurious kind of coziness lol. Very smooth and well rounded, I honestly just love this. Everyone hypes about how bad the performance is, but it's rather average if not just below. I'm beginning to see a pattern that tells me performance is subjective. I see people that say fragrances don't preform, and vice versa, but I have a better or worse experience. This one it nice.

Wow. I remember trying this when it first came out, and I liked it, but I disregarded it as I wasn't really into fragrance. I came back to it and remembered why I liked this so much. Cardamom, ambery, neroli and a heavy cashmeran dose creates this cozy profile that I find absolutely addicting. Soft, but noticeable. Sweet, but masculine. A little dark and earthy as well. Dare I say that this is better than the EDP. It certainly seems to have better performance, but it's not a beast- it's still a more "reserved" profile that is best for the same use and occasions as the EDP. Stunning fragrance. I will be picking up a bottle of this in the near future.

I like this more than The One EDT and EDP and generally love this fragrance. I am also confused with the fragrantica sillage ratings of this fragrance because this fragrance will fill a room for me. It is very intense in terms of sillage, projection and scent profile. This is a nice smelling fragrance and people will smell you. To me this is no longer a date night fragrance, as the EDP is known as, because the scent profile doesn't mesh well with eating food etc. and it can be slightly overwhelming for close encounters. This is great for bars, lounges, clubs, festivals, and most night time events.

This smells amazing! Its soo warm deep heavy spicy woody amber aromatic with a little bit of leathery smell in it. Its so sexy & it pleased everyone around you. This doesn't smell anything like the Spicebomb trust me i have OG and Infrared it smells way different. For me this is a more intense sweeter than The One EDP. This last longer around 6hours+ but silage projection goes down from 10 to 6 but it will stay to there for 6hours. compare it to the EDP which only last 4hours max this one last way longer. For a person who likes strong deep mature smell i recommend having this in your collection.
