The One Royal Night

Just received my big boy 5oz bottle of this fragrance today and I’m pleased. It was a blind buy based off reviews I read about the composition reiterating that its basically a better performing version of The One EDP. Well I can attest to the improved performance and longevity but I’m reluctant to say that the smell is similar to the original The One DNA. Don’t get me wrong, there are nuances that are definitely identifiable with the classic composition we’ve all come to know and love but to my nose... this goes in a novel, oriental, decidedly middle eastern direction that most reviewers aren’t mentioning. The opening, to me, smells like a very woody and sweeter iteration of The One EDP. The woods I smell isn’t ‘oudy’ but nondescript, or I should say not decidedly any specific wood... just woody. I also get a strong pear note that is very similar to the pear you get from Givenchy’s Gentleman EDT and it’s very prominent. There’s also a touch of creamy sweetness as if vanilla is a note despite it not actually being an official note. This is more than likely coming from the amber in the base. These elements are all on top of the original The One DNA. The mid is where the comparisons to The One EDP really shine. Because of the better performance and longevity of this composition the mid appears about 10 to 15 minutes after application and lingers for about 3 to 4 hours and radiates arms length and is very pleasant and enjoyable. After that the dry down is where things go into an entirely different direction to my nose. The dry down smells like the dry down of Franck Olivier’s oud touch. That carmel, musky, spicy and woody smell from the Oud Touch composition is what I get. Albeit a much smoother and gentle olfactory experience which is expected but similar nonetheless. Just like Oud Touch, this fragrance does not contain any oud and my nose does not pick it up, but Oud is not the only note that can make a composition ‘middle eastern’ as we all know. It’s the dark spice/wood/sweet combination that middle eastern fragrances have and this middle eastern interpretation is no different. It smells good and is very pleasant as I do enjoy the Arab fragrance style alot, but I know there are people too westernized to get it or appreciate these kind of fragrances. Which is why I felt compelled to write this review letting people who may purchase this fragrance blindly expecting a longer lasting and stronger The One EDP based off these misleading reviews only to get a very middle eastern fragrance and end up disappointed. To sum it up its about 50% The One DNA with 50% middle eastern flair. If you’re inclined towards middle eastern scents, I’d say GO FOR IT! But if you’re not, buyer beware. You have been warned.

Without going too deep into the intrinsic details of the formulation, notes breakdown, performance and elements, and without comparing it to any other fragrance, I'm going to be giving a review in a more general, or in the 'scent experience' sense, as if you smell it on someone or somewhere. The scent - The amazing thing about it is that although it lacks the oud note, it has similar vibes. Definitely has the D&G The One for men vibes, but it's basically an Arabic version of it. More of a personal fragrance, leaning a bit more towards the niche side. It's a very polarizing scent. Some love it, some like it, some think it's so-so, others might not like it as much, or rarely, at all, depending on the person, the location, the occasion and the weather. For me, it was love at first sight, or rather, first smell to be precise. As soon as I first tried it in Dubai Duty Free (the very year it was released), I did not hesitate a second to buy it and have never regretted buying it till date, as it remains one of my most treasured fragrances, as per my personal opinion and experience (which may be different for you). Should you consider buying it? - It depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking to buy a crowd pleaser or one that girls would love, then this might not be 'the one' for you. The only exception to that is if you're around/dealing with Arabic people. You'll be getting a lot of compliments from the Arabic guys and the Arabic people in general. It smells Arabic for sure. Luxuriously Arabic. Something a rich Sheikh or a boss or a man with class/power/position would wear (in the realm of the lyrics of the song "Lm3allem"), who is also sophisticated, refined, well mannered, kind and endearing (Aged 25+). And as for the girls, I've tried both wearing it myself and/or just letting them smell the bottle and spray the fragrance. Tried it with girls from different nationalities, cultures and subcultures. Most Arabic girls would love this on her man or on a love interest. For most Non-Arabic girls such as those from Iran, India and South Asia, Turkey and Central Asia, East and Southeast Asia, Africa (excluding the Mediterranean countries), Europe and America, it's mostly a "meh" or a general "it's good" scent, unless of course, they're into Arabic men, culture and/or scents. Same goes for the rest of the crowd. By the way, I'm not an Arab, but from what I've mostly heard, if someone were to guess my nationality based on looks, their first guess would be someone from the Mediterranean region or the Arabian peninsula (neither of which is true).

The One Royal Night opens with bittersweet, candied orange peel which is slightly more pronounced and nuanced then the original eau de parfum. This quickly gives way to a very realistic cardamon, nutty and also slightly bittersweet. The cardamon begins to pop off with the nutty resonance of fresh, mildly pungent curry leaves. Something mildly, but pleasingly acrid at the borders delineates the territory of this fragrance and also pushes back into the area sprayed. I get the bittersweet peels of preserved, Chinese candied citruses; sun-dried and lightly dusted with the semisweet flavored powders used to make these dry candied preserves. The type you find in a Crackseed shop stored and displayed in large glass jars (a delicacy anyone from Hawaii will readily recognize). Fruits of all kinds are preserved and candied in this way. You can find everything from lemon and orange peels, to entire plums, peaches, and apricots preserved and candied in the traditional Chinese fashion being sold from large glass jars at these shops. There is a smell reminescent of that in this fragrance. A slightly pleasant and comforting medicinal note is mingled with a layer of lightly warmed Indian spices. Spices that are not raw, nor yet even the slightest bit browned. The original dna of the eau de parfum is strongly apparent and holds everything together. Very similar to the original but this composition is a bit richer and darker, with a touch more of exotic spices and a mellowed medicinal nuance. The strongest spice of which is the natural smelling lightly toasted cardamon. Exquisite and gorgeous, the development of The One Royal Night progresses a little less soapy than the original eau de parfum. Like previously mentioned, there is a slight medicinal nuance which comes off very rich, luxurious and very, very nice, comforting, and highly sophisticated. This nuance is not a detractor in any way, and instead brings a polished and mysterious character of sophistication to the fragrance. Reminds me of a slightly dimmed room, elegant glass windows with natural, darkened wood furniture. A desk covered in books, maps, periodicals, and a silk tie. A worldly study with refined and elegant fixtures. Absolutely wonderful!!

I always enjoyed Dolce & Gabbana The One, EDT & EDP.. So when I first heard about The One Royal Night I had to get my nose on it, & I finally succeeded! The One Royal Night is very much still "The One", although the DNA of The One has been reworked to give it more of an exotic middle eastern vibe.. The One Royal Night does not stray to far from The One but it does have it's own personality.. The One Royal Night opens up fresh & spicy with a strong dose of cardamom & some basil.. Dolce & Gabbana used two different types of cardamom oil in this composition, hence cardamom is a big part of this fragrance & is detectable throughout it's duration.. There are some nice spicy hints of nutmeg in the heart along with pear wood.. As The One Royal Night starts to dry down sandalwood & cedar start to become more detectable & add some depth to the fragrance.. This touch of sandalwood is my favorite part of this fragrance.. A base of amber adds sweetness while a nice amount of labdanum adds an exotic smokiness.. The use of spices, wood notes, & labdanum is what gives this take on "The One" an exotic middle eastern vibe.. The One Royal Night is definitely more suited for the cooler weather although it could still be somewhat versatile, like The One.. The One Royal Night also performs a bit better on my skin than The One EDT, & maybe even a bit better than The One EDP to.. I do see The One Royal Night as more of a mature fragrance than The One, & because it is a bit more of an exotic fragrance it may not be for everyone.. Overall I happen to love The One Royal Night, & I will continue to appreciate it, as I do the original The One.. With the release of Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme Intenso, Dolce & Gabbana The One Eau De Parfum, & Dolce & Gabbana The One Royal Night, I can finally say that I think Dolce & Gabbana is headed back in the right direction.. I really hope that The One Royal Night stays in production & becomes more widely distributed as it is a great new release!

Potent version of The One EDP. Not the cozy vibe the latter will bring to you. The One EDP is, of the few fragrances I have bottles of in the largest size, "the one" I will definitely finish. I love spraying the EDP but, man, Royal Night is superb. I have yet to find a good price on it but not on the 5oz bottle, just 3.3oz would suffice as this is very strong off/on my skin - projects beautifully and longevity is INSANE >9h. This being a middle-eastern exclusive, I do not smell the ME here as in other fragrances that are to be inspired by it. It is super woody and, without the mentioned note of tobacco, I guess I really don't pick it up in the fragrance though quite similar to the EDP. Not a cozy fragrance as I've mentioned, this is perfect for a night out or even fewer sprays during the day in "not-hot" weather - can be someone's signature to be honest, if mindful of sprays (in my experience, ofc). Definitely worth up to $90-100 for that 100ml bottle but would love to find on for ~$70 which is what I paid for my large bottle of the EDP (if that much). Increasingly getting more difficult to find in the US, as are Luminous and Mysterious Night.

Having really enjoyed the original The One in the EDP concentration, I found this one for a good price on a Canadian discounter and decided to pick it up, hearing in the community that the performance on this one exceeded The One in both the EDT and EDP concentrations (with the drawback of losing that memorable tobacco note). Upon first smell, I knew that this one was undoubtedly more special. Royal Night is a fragrance that oozes luxury and sophistication, unequivocally masculine and portrays an image of class that the original concentrations do not convey to me. Royal Night is warm and spicy, giving me impressions of other Middle Eastern fragrances I have encountered in its scent profile through the heavy cardamom and woody notes that I pick up on, however without the sweetness-overload that many fragrances are choosing to release nowadays. With all of this being said, the only thing I struggle with is when I could see myself wearing it - no doubt I would reserve this for special occasions in autumn and in winter. This is a fragrance for collectors, with a beautiful bottle to match this enchanting fragrance.

The one royal night has become my favorite from the one line for its likability and performance. Very similar to the other flankers but deeper and richer, at least to me. The one edp had good performance on my skin when it first came out and was never a beast by any means but it was slightly above average. Recently tried it again and was bummed out that it became a poor performer which sucks since I really liked it but I gave the royal night a try and I was very impressed. Royal Night performed amazing on my skin with 9-10 hrs of longevity and 3-4 hrs of pretty good projection which is saying a lot since not a lot of fragrance that I really enjoy perform on my skin. This fragrance is easily 10/10, it’s a quality fragrance that’s smells amazing, has pretty good performance and gets attention without asking for it. If anyone was wondering about the batch that I have it’s a 2019 formulation.

ONE OF THE BEST, trust me this one is so good, seductive and cloud pleaser, its one of those perfumes you will smell one or two out of 100, not for teens but for young adults and proper gentlemen who know what they are doing, it stands out and its a head turner whether you want or not female will talk of you, now i know the reason why its called ROYAL NIGHT...this smells like you are Rich and you chartered a plane from UK to Dubai just for a cup of Tea, when you get this is the type and kind of smell everyone would love to smell, even if you do blind buy do not get worried you are safe...i like the fact that there is less oud, its refined,well balanced and decent longevity. You walk in a room or office with only 2 sprays everyone will notice you, it lasted few days on my clothes and on my skin 8hrs+ (My Batch: 8120LM Made in FRANCE)

I have owned this fragrance for awhile now. I would say this is probably my favorite in the line because the performance is much better. I would say the performance on this one for me is actually quite good, I get whiffs of it all day long. T The scent as I have mentioned in a previous review is basically a more woody, spicy version of the one. The accentuated spice and woods lays on top of the patented "The One" DNA. As the fragrance dries down "the one" smell shines. It's a great flanker because it keeps the scent profile of the original but adds a bolder, stronger more spicy/woody touch. The only downside of the fragrance for me now after having it for a long time is that the heavy spiciness and dark woods can get slightly tiring. It is more of a heavy scent.. But it is a good one scent 5/5 Performance 4.5/5

In my personal opinion, a much better iteration of "The one". It seems to start off a bit harsher compared to the one edp which is probably because it starts off spicier rather than starting off with the generic grapefruit top note like the edp does. 20 mins later, it settles into smooth amber and woods with cardamom and other spicy notes. After 2 hr mark, all I smell is some woods with amber but with hints of spicy cardamom. Simple smelling? Might be. But who cares when it's this good. Also, performs a little better than the edp, around 5 hrs on my skin. I personally hate tobacco and this one ditches it (tobacco never was, is not and never will be classy). A truly regal and classy version smelling, in my opinion.

This stuff is so good, that I can finally forgive D&G for having longevity problems with most of the other fragrances in the The One line: The EDT was not good enough, the EDP is ok, but with this one they finally managed to get decent longevity. The One Royal Night is one of the best cold/cool/wet weather fragrances that I know off. Encore noir is brooding,..The Most Wanted and certainly Stronger With You are better suited for the holidays,..but Royal Night is the serious and mature stuff. Women will notice you, but it's the men that will compliment you. It's not linear, but it also doesn't really develop into something different as time passes by, but when something is as good as this..who cares?

I like how the mix fusion with middle eastern fragrance into this perfume. This smells like spicebomb original edt but less spicy and not too sweet and more woody. The One DNA is still there but it's just slightly warmer. To me it's a redundant if you already have The one EDP. For me if you would like to compare this with the rest of The One line up, "The One Intense" is still the best among them all. This Royal Night might not be for everyone to appreciate its beauty. To me the silage and projection is a bit weak (i might get an decant that is about to expired not sure) As a sandalwood lover i appreciate this type of perfume because it's rare to have it on the Base Notes. I give it a 7/10

The One Royal Night is a masterpiece. This is a very woody scent with just the right amount of sweetness and spiciness. All the notes here are perfectly balanced and its a very versatile and masculine scent. This is a perfect signature scent and a compliment monster as well. I get great performance 10 hours and it projects about an arms length throughout the entire time. This is pretty much like taking the original The One and giving it great performance so I usually layer them. The only thing that is missing is the tobacco note, and Royal Night is a bit woodier and a lot denser in a good way (the original EDT feels a lot "airier" comparing to this one). 10/10 fragrance

Why, Why, Why? Why can't I find a fragrance from 'THE ONE' range which lasts for more than 1 - 2 hours. One Royal Night is a very classy and mature fragrance. Not a fragrance I would expect anyone under 40 yrs wearing. The bottle gives the impression of an Oud fragrance without that ingrediant but still very much a Middle Eastern fragrance. I tested this liberally when waiting for a flight from Rome airport. I had a 2 hours wait before having to board by which time I found it hard to find the fragrance on me. A beautiful fragrance but if I have to re-apply this 4 - 5 times a day it becomes a too expensive option.

Pardon my French, but this smells fucking amazing. This one is my favorite of the The One exclusive edition collection (Luminous night comes very close) and one of my favorite fragrances in my collection as a whole. This scent is a spicier blend of The One EDP that performs incredibly well. I get 8+ hours on skin without a question and I can still catch whiffs of it on myself after the 8th hour. The smell of warm cardamom blends really well with the woods and the amber. The smell is really high class, unique and elegant and is perfect for fall, winter and cool summer nights. Back up bottle worthy for sure.

The pear wood is a fantasy note emulating a pear tree, and on my skin it’s very prominent. It works very well with The One dna. Because of this, it does separate itself from the original and the edp. I have all of the flankers except Luminous Night. I just can’t seem to grab that one at a decent price. Anyway, I think I like this more than the edp, but it’s close. I think they’re different enough NOT to be redundant. The pear wood does add sweetness, so keep that in mind. It is an addicting smell. I get very good longevity, and projection. I sprayed it on a sweater and it was there for weeks.

Forget the negativity this is a deeper darker version of the D&G One DNA this definitely has a more middle eastern twist which suits that DNA Perfectly. Starts of very similar to the regular EDP however this has a deeper resinous oudy smokey incensey touch the missing tobacco isn't too evident on my skin due to the smokey component. This pairs superbly with the fresh cardamom and basil giving this a fresh yet substantial persona intermingling with the creamy luscious sandalwood.This is 10/10 and signature scent worthy for a man that wants to smell bold exotic and distingusged.

I subscribe the GREGOIR REVIEW . I can say exactly the same "was excited to try it out. It was a major disappointment! Smells *nice*, IF you can smell it, but only lasted 20-30 minutes on my skin, hovering all the while as nothing more than a SKIN SCENT. What a complete and utter waste. Yes, the packaging appears completely authentic, and the matching box/bottle batch code: 8022HM reveals A January 2018 release. What happened to this glorious juice so many rave about??? I'm turned OFF to anything from D&G ever again. Shame." NEVER EVER AGAIN ANYTHING FROM D&G .NO WAYSSSSS.

Compared to The One EDP, it's a spot on variation. This version does has a manly vibe as others have mentioned, and it gives off a splendid ambiance. Warm, and inviting with the amber/vanilla combo acting as the support to the spices, and sandalwood. Carries the same wonderful sillage, and lasting power, so if you're looking for a nice flanker to pick up, this is a solid option. If you use The One EDP as a casual/office scent for work, this would be subbed in for a date night out, or a cozy night in. Worth a full bottle, though grabbing a decant first may be a good option.

So mesmerizing, so elegant, worlds better than the EDT. The spices are an ultimately smooth blend, and the bottle is just pure class! As far as performance goes, I'm finding it's actually pretty good for the discounted price you are able to get this for these days. Three sprays project well into 4 hours, is vividly detectable by the 6-hour mark, and then lingers as a skin scent for another 2~3 hours. You will easily have a beast performer at 6~8 sprays (but that would be overpowering at the very beginning).

I love this reinterpretation of the original "The One EDP". Whereas the original is slightly more tobacco wise (a bit "darker"), this one is slightly "brighter" and spicier (with the same DNA though), but hey, extremely refined and delicate Arabian spices. Perfectly blended and equilibrated. Both excellent. Both exquisite. Both masterpieces. None of them is better than the other, they are just a bit different but both are 10/10. It smells modern, classy, luxurious. Absolutely gorgeous!

Every time I wear this the opening reminds of Olives, but in the best way possible. It then goes into what the note breakdown says. I really like wearing this one and it's one I reach for often when going to sleep. I find this fragrance very comforting. Maybe my nose is strange, but yes, every time I spray this it reminds me of the smell you get when you open a brand new jar of olives and you catch a whiff of that brininess. Overall a great fragrance (with a strange opening to me).

Kind of a bummer DG discontinued The One Royal Night, and Light Blue Forever. They both were a nice combo for somebody who wants a small collection and loves the DG line. Royal night is perfect for those cool Fall/Winter/Early Spring vibes whereas Light Blue Forever was a nice transition to a Spring/Summer freshy that had the body from Royal Night. Unfortunately, like every discontinued frag, resellers are going to bump prices up soon if they haven't already done so.

Very good stuff. Very similar to the EDP but the tobacco is replaced by cardamom. Sharper and less watery than the EDP, but with somewhat added longevity and projection. Mind you the longevity and projection aren’t beast mode, but improved. Perfect replacement for the EDP, but redundant if you already have the EDP. That said the EDP is in my top five of all time so this is a love for me. I have no complaints about this and enjoy it very much. Right up my alley.

Isn't this supposed to be a stronger version of the EDT/EDP? why is the rating so bad then? For me the opening smells different. More woody for sure and more spices.. but as it dries down the one DNA kicks into gear and it starts smelling more and more like that familiar vibe.. basically become the one.. Its nice.. I like it... The only thing is i hope the performance ends up better than the other two. If so we have a winner Scent 5/5 Performance not sure yet.

I have over passed few years as most if not all fragrance addicts/enthusiasts become something of a "Niche Snob". Recently though I picked this up on eBay for a steal. I'm surprised at how much I enjoy this, yes I have the EDP and many moons ago had the edt. (which along with Vera Wang for him were my signature scents) Honestly this is far superior to both the EDT & EDP. I actually think this is close to being a MUST have fragrance. 8.5/10

The first time I got the one ,I was like Wow it's incredibly amazing and I don't think dolce & gabbana could've done it any better! But few days ago I was at the duty free and I was attracted by the Arabic letters on a dolce & gabbana the one bottle and I was like whaaat ! So I had to smell and and I was hooked immediately .. the point is dolce & gabbana did make the one smell better,for 125$ i believe it's worth every penny ,well done .

Spicy,sweet and woody, the scent is excellent it has a twist to the original but you know it is still the same dna. It is more of a semi formal, formal or date night fragance. I get 6-8 on skin not a big projection but good enough that people close by can enjoy it. It is a pleasurable designer fragrance there are not many bad things I can say about it. I really enjoy it royal night is a keeper. I also got a really good deal on it.

Syrupy type sweet. And I know that sounds off putting but it isn’t! My nose and brain connection kinda sucks so I can’t really tell you what all I smell. But damn this is sexy, and surprisingly.... I wore this in 95 degree weather and guess what.. it smelled really darn sexy. It radiated off my skin with a masculine magnetic sensual aroma. Felt like pheromones coming off my skin. Maybe I’m crazy but try this in some humid heat

This is The One EDP’s hot older sister! This is very much what you know DNA wise of the original but with more base and definitely more mature. I get that bit of dare I say “oud-saffron-leather” funk in the opening which lasts only in the top notes then you get a richer EDP dry down. I wish the more exotic top notes hung around longer. This doesn’t really cost much more and should be The One you reach for going forward!!

Finally got my hands on a couple bottles at a reasonable price. I can confirm what most are saying. Royal Night stays more on track with the original as a darker and spicier version of edt and edp. I also think there is more woodiness. I feel Mysterious Night made a left turn with the saffron, oud and rose combo but It's good in it's own right. Royal Night is how EDP should smell. Definitely deserving of a plus 4 rating.

The Sandalwood is definitely strong in this one. Soo good though, smells identical to the original with a strong sandalwood note and some richer Amber, a very deep fragrance. Amazing scent, very masculine and sexy. You seriously cannot go wrong with this specific one. As long as D&G doesn’t mess it up and make it weaker, then this is The One to own in the entire line hands down. DO NOT MESS IT D&G!

Was given the choice between The One Royal Night and The One Mysterious Night. Having never smelt either - looking back on that decision today, I think I made the right choice. Performance is ok, nothing special. Intimate scent bubble, lasts around 4-5 hours on my skin. I don't need this fragrance to be a monster, I actually like that it "forces" people to get closer to get another sniff.

Being that this is a designer line with middle eastern characteristics, this can be worn anytime of the day at any time of the year. Very safe blind buy in my opinion, there is nothing NOT to like about this frag! I was extremely lucky with this one too, found it at the same store from where I bought Luminous Night. It does indeed have a small sillage, but very good performance! 10/10

3rd full wearing and now I’m convinced this scent should have been either the EDP or Parfum because it smells so similar but more dense, thick and rich while lasting 7 hours & 3 hours of projection. I’m curious now how close this smells to the new parfum. I’m sure I’ll buy both 2025’s eventually because I’m so dang hooked on fragrances and completely love that dna. I got issues

I really like this stuff The opening isn't the greatest, for the first couple minute it smells like apple cider vinegar gone off but after that it's amazing. Basically The One's DNA but more enriched. Performance for me is 11/10 ,used 2 sprays in the morning at about 8am and still getting compliments in the evening. (Note im using this in cool/warm weather +-20° celsius)

One of the best fragrances in my collection, smells very sophisticated and warm, it has great performance on my skin +8 hours and 12+ hours on clothes and thats what only matters. About this fragrance: An enhanced Original edt's performance, without the tobacco notes but more spiciness and woods. Scent 9/10 Longevity 9/10 Sillage 8/10 Definitely worth picking up.

I wasn't the biggest fan when I first got this because I found it too sweet through the opening, but it grew on me overall. Once it starts to dry down, it becomes less sweet and starts to project more of the cardamom... and wow, does it smell good then. It's almost addicting. I keep going back to smell the bottle every once in a while just to get a whiff of it

Smells exactly like the Edp just a little spicier... absolutley awfull performance, 0 projection and the scent vanishes within 2 hours of spraying on skin. 2017 batch. Update: may have judged abit too soon, on reflection this holds its own in comparrison to the edt and edp but still pretty close to the skin wearing but stronger than both others.

What a masterpiece of a fragrance unfortunately so hard to find along with Liminous Night, absolutely incredible fragrances Royal Night and Liminous Night nothing can beat this two if we talk about date nights or even clubing absolutely gorgeous! If u find them in ur country don't hesitate buying them absolute fairytale of a fragrances!

I have 2 bottles one from London P&G Prestige and one from France (BPI) and I can say that they are different formulas the one from France is much bolder spicy and gourmand while the one from London is a The One with fake oud with the same weak silage as the OG, compare and notice the difference. Coming from France is the best choice

I KNOW that this fragrance is marketed for men, but I really enjoy wearing it! Yes it is masculine but I feel like I’m ok with it!! There are so many sandelwood fragrances that I can’t pull off, as a matter of fact “sandelwood is one the notes that I usually stay away from”, but I really enjoy this fragrance 8.5/10.

To me, this is the One EDP, but much better performing, and slightly spicier. It projects pretty well and last pretty long. The cardamom top note really works well. I was able to get a great deal on it and I’m glad I did. This is a much closer flanker to the One EDP than the One Intense in my opinion.

it's just as its name. the One indeed, with Royal feel and quality, and works best in the Night! one of my favourites ever. glad i found a 150ml bottle in a local store though a little bit expensive but it's worthy! on clothes this juice lasts for 3 days so i'd be careful and spray it only on skin.

The One EDP is the perfect fragrance, there`s not one note in it I don`t like although unfortunately the performance is still average, the archilles heel of this D&G release. The One Royal Night is now my favourite and flagged replacing my nearly empty TOEDP and now moved to Royal Night. Love it !

Opens with the warmth and sweetness of cardamom, but with a green edge provided by the basil. Nutmeg gives a slightly spicy offset to the fruity pear. It dries down beautifully into a rich amber - woody scent. Perfect for cooler evenings. Another gorgeous fragrance from the line.

If i had to explain it in my own opinion, Its like the One, but deeper and richer and spicier, much darker and it has this odd tinge of olive juice at times. Sounds weird....but the unique smell from whatever accord is making that note is so interesting and It is pretty bad @ss.

@acidnbase - Thanks for the info! Please test this fragrance out some more, and give us a more detailed review.. I am very very interested in this fragrance.. Dolce & Gabbana The One for Men with sandalwood, that sounds great! I hope it will also be available in the west..

Am I the only one who finds this to be far more on the fresh/green side than sweet/warm? If I were to blind test it I would guess it's a spring oriented fragrance with 100% confidence. I'm guessing that's the pear wood accord, but whatever it is, it's addicting as hell.

If this is not masterpiece I don't know what is it, classy, compliment monster, probably one of the best scent profile ever created. Blind buy safe and for someone who want to step in more "mature" fragrances this one is no brainer.
