The One Pour Homme Eau de Parfum

Not bad, definitely a lighter take on the DNA compared to the old EDP and the EDT. It is spicier on initial spray with more citrus. It feels crisper and the spices definitely present more. I won't comment too much on longevity or projection as I've only tried it in stores but I'm very familiar with the DNA and have owned almost every release from the line. This is definitely better suited for daytime wear and use during the Spring and late Summer compared to the original EDP/EDT. The one complaint I have (as alluded too in the opening statements) is that it doesn't feel as rich or sweet in the opening compared to the originals: Overall, it's a solid release and I do feel like it will perform better than the original while also being more versatile. It may be redundant in the opinions of others, but this is not in mine. To me, this feels more like a successor to One Grey than the old EDP. This is also a very good thing in my opinion as that was a criminally underrated release. The final comment that I will make, in closing, is that I believe this should have replaced the EDT as it wears much lighter than the old EDP, although I understand the problems that would potentially create with the old formula EDP having anemic performance in comparison. Update: after trying this in store and my wife falling for it, I ended up buying a full bottle. Longevity is good at around 8 hours, albeit with average projection after hour 1. This wears just fine in early Spring. This does develop and get sweeter as you wear it, not quite to the level of the Parfum (which gets VERY sweet) but it can definitely hang with the old EDP in that regard. This is much better than the old EDP in longevity and projection and has the added bonus of being airy enough to be worn in mildly warm weather. This also has a strong resemblance to the legendary Luminous Night flanker in the late drydown, I did not get this similarity with any of the other The One flankers and I've owned every single one except Sport

The One Pour Homme Eau de Parfum (EDP) is a citrus, amber, and woody fragrance. This new version of The One line (now Pour Homme instead of for Men), available in an EDP concentration, has a citrusy and slightly spicy opening, somewhat reminiscent of the EDT and EDP versions that were "for Men," but the citrus accords are more prominent and last longer. As time passes, the characteristic amber and tobacco DNA of The One line becomes apparent, but as mentioned, the citrus notes, instead of fading, remain almost on par with the amber and tobacco notes, resulting in a very balanced scent that offers greater versatility than the previous EDP version. Once it reaches its drying phase, some woody notes of cedar and, to a much lesser extent, patchouli are perceived, but always present until the end of its development are amber and tobacco, giving fidelity to the style of this fragrance line by the designer Dolce & Gabbana. Basically, this new fragrance rebalances the notes of the original The One For Men EDP, giving a greater concentration to citrus notes, but without losing the essence that characterizes the line. It can be worn for various occasions, from the office to nights out, romantic dates, and more. In terms of longevity, I found it to be better than the previous EDT and EDP versions, lasting almost 10 hours, but the sillage remains very subtle, staying close to the skin. Compared to the previous EDP, it retains some common elements, but it's more herbal and less spicy.

I don't think I've ever gone out of my way to try any of The One's. I've watched and read many reviews on the EDT and all of the flankers but never got my nose on them. I'm sure I've walked past people and smelled it on them but not realized what I was smelling. I like my frags to be strong and robust....hence my screen name (also my favorite cigar size). Poor performance sounded like a big issue with The One which is a main reason why I never sought it out. I don't know what prompted me to pick up a bottle of The One....perhaps it was my curiosity. I blind bought a bottle of what I thought was The One EDP but was instead The One Pour Homme EDP. I didn't realize the mistake till about 6 months after I bought it because I purchased this in the summer and never really gave it a full wear until recently in the colder weather. I can't speak for the EDT or any of the other flankers but the Pour Homme is phenomenal! It has this toasted marshmallow and amber vibe that is VERY easy to wear. I wore this to church over the weekend (3 sprays on my sweater and 1 spray on each side of my neck). I sprayed it on at 9am yesterday and can still pick up on my sweater almost 24 hours later. This stuff is gorgeous! Cheers!

This is my first time actually smelling anything from the line and I understand that this is not representative of the old formulations. But this is a big like! The projection is not that fantastic but it seems to last quite a long time. So long lasting intimate skin-ish scent profile. Good for date night, or dressed up. Could easily work on cooler summer days or more formal summer events. Very dressed up though, not very playful. Reminds me a bit of TMW parfum but more dressed up and serious. Can't find a good price at discounters for this one. I suspect it's gonna be a success though. It survived both my gym and multiple handwashes so I would say the longevity is perfect and what you expect for an EDP, just not a screaming scent more of an intimate flirtation. The orange and grapefruit is rather fleeting but provides a nice fruity citrus facade. Tobacco is prominent but it's not a cigaretty-tobacco more fantasy-like tobacco. Like a romanticized cigar smell.

unfortunately, as much as i love the scent itself, the performance really doesn’t live up to expectations. on my skin it lasts around 3 to 4 hours at most, though it does linger a bit longer on clothes. because of that, i don’t really see it as something to wear regularly, more like a fragrance for specific or special moments. if anything, i’d say it works best for dates, those situations where someone is close enough to actually appreciate it. in that setting, it can come across as very elegant and inviting, which is honestly where it shines the most. luckily, mine was a gift, but even then it’s hard not to feel like it’s overpriced for what it offers. it should have a projection and longevity that match its price point, and it just doesn’t deliver on that. kind of a shame, really. i’ve actually stopped using it for a while, hoping that somehow the performance might improve over time, maybe with a bit of luck.
