The One Lace Edition

This precious perfume has finally crossed the Atlantic ocean to me in London. Yay! a gift from a friend in NYC, they asked me to choose a perfume and I chose this. Kind of have to love the title "The One" egotistical as hell but this fume gets away with it because its so gorgeous. Wearing it now and I am in ambery vanila fruity floral heaven. The ambers seem to sing to the plums and peaches, as the lilies and jasmine purr along. I am getting a honey sweet gourmand vibe, and to my nose this is just pure olfactory heaven right now! This stuff is expensive, but smells it....the whole composition just feels high quality. I may not be Scarlet Johansen but "the one" really is the one with my skin chemistry! When I was at the perfume shop I requested The One as remembered loving it when smelled on a overseas, and they had the lace edition, so I bought this , and its gorgeous! No idea if its the same as the formulation as the original (I see conflicting reviews) , but seeing as I love it, that doesn't really bother me. Cant go wrong as a gift idea too, this is pure class & warmth. 10/10!! I have waited months and now it is mine (my mother brought it with her when visiting) Reunited with long-lost perfume.... I'm in a bit of perfumista heaven right now! ^_^ Edit: Gotta add that when I wear this I feel a bit like Carrie Bradshaw when she said "'I couldn't understand a word she was saying, but I felt I had in my possession all the Italian I'd ever need to know: Dolce, Dolce, Dolce"

I was surprised to find a tester at Nordstorm and was able to secure a decant to compare to the original The One I had a home. The SA had told me confidently that this was a limited edition bottle but with the same juice, however I disagree! As a fan of the original, I was able to test this side by side. This is a much softer version of The One. Lace has a sweeter plum and lychee warmth- overall the dry down is near identical but Lace is definitely more lightly fruity. The florals are a soft whisper mixed in with the creamy amber and musks. They both have that signature feeling from this line but have individual nuances. The original has a harsher and more bitter vetiver note that gives it a more powdery and darker strength. My only qualm is that the plum might be a bit more sour on other people's chemistry but Lace The One works beautifully for me. If you were turned off to how strong and smokey the vetiver note is in the original, I'd definitely recommend Lace. This one is more well-rounded in fruits and doesn't have that intense "dirty" twist. She is seductive as a classy lady in an intelligent soft-spoken and elegantly reserved way. Moderate to soft silage and 4-5 hours of lasting power. Tempted to commit, but I think I am content with The One for now. However this Lace bottle is irresistible...

I would descried this as gourmand, probably my favourite powder so far, chocolaty, vanilla, conforting and definitely a winter fragrance it warms you up, though I also see it in a hot country because it has a coconut hint, I prefer this one to the original one. It is more sensual. Though it is a pretty common smell because of vanilla. I think it smells exactly like Gucci Rush that is discontinued so I was happy to find it at the duty free. There's no reason why it is more expensive than the original one just marketing I guess. Well I know I will like this for a long time..if I don't wear it everyday..this smell can get overpowering at the office I find...so definitely with a date or boyfriend or reviving a relationship..

If The One, and The One Lace are the same fragrance only different packaging, then those that think they smell a difference are probably smelling them at different times of the year or day, basically a little something that tweaks the fragrance oils based on weather, chemistry and all that good stuff. I'm waiting on my first bottle of The One Lace, I'm super excited to finally try this. I accidentally bought the men's version a few years ago and gave it away and was totally put off by this fragrance because of it. Since I've read the notes and reviews on here I am delighted and excited to finally try this 😍

D&G The One Lace Edition opens with a flash of bergamot and fruit; the effect is quite watery for the first five minutes. The lily and white flowers quickly appear, leading to the most gorgeous warm fruited amber. The plum is not heavy or meaty, just well-blended with the litchi and peach. It dries down to a soft vanilla vetiver with a bit of musk. To me, the real beauty of this perfume is in the heart and drydown. Longevity is an amazing 12+ hours on my skin, with a beautiful trail. It leaves a seductive lingering trace on sheets and lingerie. A lovely Lace Edition, indeed.
