The Only One Eau de Parfum Intense

Very Beautiful, sweet, warm, creamy, chic, feminine sensual, seductive, floral, fruity, citrusy, bright, fresh, woody, classy, elegant, charming, deep, rich, alluring, sexy, cozy, comforting On me this opens with a sweet, fruity, and floral burst of tart green apple, citrusy and bright mandarin and neroli, and fresh jasmine. As it begins drying down the warm and creamy coconut, sweet and delicately citrusy orange blossom, and sensual vanilla start to come into play. The coconut doesn’t give this a beachy or tropical feel, but rather adds a warm, creamy, and sweet scent that works beautifully in this fragrance. The deeper into the dry down this gets it becomes more sweet, creamy, sensual, woody, and rich, and it really starts to shine here as it gains a wonderful depth. The vanilla, cashmere wood, and cedar become prominent, while the rest of the notes stay delicately intertwined throughout. It becomes such a sensual, sweet, warm, and creamy scent that I just can’t get enough of. The notes that are the most prominent to me overall are the vanilla, orange blossom, mandarin, and cashmere wood, but I do pick up on all of them. This fragrance is so beautifully done... it’s very nicely balanced, has a lovely depth, and is very well blended. This does remind me somewhat of a few different fragrances, including Alien Goddess Intense, DedCool Sunlit Blooms, VS Very Sexy Oasis, Bvlgari Chill & Sol... all of which I enjoy very much. It has such a beautiful scent and is balanced so well that it’s a versatile fragrance. I think it works well for women of any age, and works for all occasions, casual to fancy. It’s pretty non-offensive, and also seems to be pretty crowd pleasing. It feels best suited for cool and cold weather, but also makes a nice nighttime scent for warmer weather. This is absolutely a signature worthy scent, and a pretty safe blind buy imo. I get excellent performance with The Only One Intense. The longevity is amazing... it lasts the entire day on me, and I can still smell it the next morning. The projection is good, it radiates out about a couple/few feet from me. I only need a few sprays to get this effect, so I do consider this a really good value. For some reference, I do own and love several D&G perfumes including The One (original formula) , The One Desire, The Only One Intense, Pour Femme Intense, Devotion, and Devotion Intense. D&G is one of my favorite houses along with Kayali, Coach (the older fragrances especially), SDJ, and VS (especially the older fragrances). For a little more reference, some of my other favorite vanillas include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Kayali The Wedding Silk Santal, Kayali Vanilla 28, Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, D&G The One Desire, Nest Golden Nectar, Nest Vanilla Bourbon, Phlur Vanilla Skin, JHAG Vanilla Vibes, SDJ Summer é Amor, SDJ 62, VS Vanilla Lace, B&BW Vanilla Romance

Well, this does bring all the boys to the yard. I tested this one randomly a few months back and absolutely fell in love. I hardly ever buy a fragrance on the same day as I first try it, but it had only been on my arm for maybe two hours when I went back to the store and bought it. I love Dolce Garden, it has the same creamy coconut vibe, but I gave my bottle away because as much as I loved it, it was too bright somehow. It didn't "melt in with my skin" so to speak, rather sat on top of it. It smells amazing on my friend that got my bottle, so maybe just not a match with me. Anyway, I found what I wanted Dolce Garden to be when I smelled the Only One Intense. That creamy coconut, white florals and vanilla are deep, sensual and just plain amazing. This is one of my few fragrances that I will only ever use during nighttime because of how sexy I feel it is. In the past year I became single and shortly afterwards I started working close to a bunch of men. Because I was suddenly single and open to meet new friends, I quickly had a large group of new people in my social circle that I frequently go out with. And a large number of the people in that circle are men. I don't think I've had this many men around me since I was at school many years ago. This is relevant because I've never in my life had so many comments on my fragrances until now. Apparently men notice such things. Until now I've gotten compliments on how I smell pretty regularly but it was mostly coming from family members or my ex partners. But now, after simply being around way more men than ever before on regular basis, I get compliments very often. And although yes, I wear my fragrances for myself, and yes, I know that perhaps it's superficial to care much about other people's opinions, I have to admit that the fragrance lover in me is very much enjoying this newfound source of compliments. And what do the boys love? The Only One Intense apparently. I think this one has risen to the top of my most complimented fragrances ever. And on my skin, this one doesn't perform for that long or loud, You have to come into my little personal bubble to smell this. I usually greet my friends with a hug and a kiss on each cheek and it's then when I get the compliments, I doubt people can smell me just by walking past me. And when that hug and kisses happen, I usually hear, "you smell amazing". I have to admit, I'm loving it. I already loved The Only One Intense before this, it's the "eyes-roll-into-the-back-of-my-head" kind of fragrance for me, but now I love it even more. As a matter of fact, I am going out for drinks tonight. I think I might just put on a beautiful dress and spritz on some Dolce & Gabbana before heading out. It's spring time, the evenings have started to be sunny until close to midnight, excitement fills the air. Why not indulge in some feel good flirting with life tonight...? 💕

Sweet, warm, floral, bright, fresh, citrusy, creamy, woody, feminine, sensual, seductive, sexy, chic, elegant, classy, charming, whimsical, dreamy, enchanting, radiant, vibrant, delightful, addictive, alluring, inviting, cozy, comforting, Luxurious On me this opens beautifully with sweet, fresh, and bright neroli, fresh and tart green apple, and bright and citrusy mandarin. As it starts drying down the lush jasmine, sweet and citrusy orange blossom, and creamy coconut become intertwined with the bright top notes. Once it’s dried down the sensual vanilla, cozy cashmere woody, and woody cedar become prominent. The notes that are the most prominent on me are the mandarin orange, green apple, orange blossom, vanilla, and cashmere wood. This is an absolutely gorgeous fragrance! It’s definitely full bottle worthy, and would even make a lovely signature scent! When I read the notes for this I was a little nervous about how the green apple and coconut notes would work in this. Surprisingly they fit perfectly. The green apple adds a fresh and bright scent without overpowering the other notes. The coconut just adds a creaminess instead of bringing anything tropical to the scent. I do get a slight lovely, warm, and delicious cinnamon-y apple pie kind of scent in the background that I catch occasional whiffs of before it dries down when the base notes become more prominent. I think that’s coming from the combination of the green apple and vanilla, but it doesn’t define the scent, rather it stays more subtle in the background. I also really enjoy several other D&G fragrances, so for reference those and some other favorites of mine include The One, The One Desire, Pour Femme Intense, Devotion, Devotion Intense, Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Kayali The Wedding Silk Santal, Kayali Vanilla 28, Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato, PDM Oriana, Kilian LDBS, Celeste, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallow, Phlur Heavy Cream, SDJ Summer é Amor, SDJ Sundays in Rio, SDJ 39, SDJ 62, VS Vanilla Lace

What a titillating scent for a breezy summer night. A successful blind buy for me. So glad there’s no patchouli to amplify the vanilla, so it actually works for those who live in warmer climates. It is a dark scent for the evenings, like a creamier, more powdery, more vanillic/sweeter Crystal Noir (EdP) minus the spices, woods and soapy note. I smell the sensual white florals and coconut the most, sweetened by a smooth, powdery vanilla. I own Crystal Noir EdP and have always found it abit too harsh smelling on my skin chemistry, I think I will do well layering these two. Do not overspray this one, the coconut has potential to be overwhelming and smell like cheap car freshener. I’m generally not a fan of coconut in perfumery, but it’s blended well here and really complements the white flowers. Update; it’s like a cross between Crystal Noir (dark white floral-coconut aspect) and Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle (creamy, smooth vanilla aspect). Ofcourse the quality of this scent is not on par with Dior’s sadly discontinued Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle, this one has great projection for a few hours but fades soon after, HP Sensuelle lasted over 12 hours on me, The Only One Intense has moderate longevity on me, about 5-6 hours...maybe it’s my nose? Anyhow, if you’re a fan of Dior’s Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle and you like Crystal Noir EdP but cannot wear it due to the spices, then you need to atleast test this fragrance. Update x2: wore this scent out and didn’t take my own advice and over-sprayed it, I got compliments left and right and was told I smelled very seductive and expensive. My friends assured me that the sillage was fantastic and anyone passing by would be able to smell it, atleast for the first 3 hours...after that there was very little to no projection, though I can smell it when I put my nose on my skin. D&G needs to work on the longevity of this scent, otherwise it’s THE perfect night out scent.

JASMINE & ORANGE-BLOSSOM Soaked in SWEET (Coconut) MILK. Aaaahhh.....I came back to this scent after awhile. It's like a jasmine & orange-blossom enfleurage with sweet'n'condensed milk. Eventually the jasmine takes over for what is essentially a sweet & creamy jasmine fragrance. I didn't really get that at first, and was distracted by the creaminess and clean citrus tones of orange-blossom, neroli & faint coconut that initially reminded me of L'Interdit Givenchy although these are different. Underneath those creamy & clean, citrus tones is a succulent grape-leaning jasmine which is likely why this has been compared to jasmine scents like Alien Mugler, although overall they smell different. Overall I get a sweet, creamy, citrus with faint coconut that's more about creaminess, overlaying a full jasmine with prominent near-grape tones. Excellent performance, but don't overspray because this is deceptively intense. Overall: Gorgeous sweet & creamy jasmine scent for jasmine lovers or haters with excellent performance. It's a love for me. Enjoy! Contrast to Alien Goddess Intense Mugler. These are different, but there are similarities with sweet & creamy white florals. AGI has a forward beachy quality that's dialed way down in TOOI. When the beachy quality is coming forward in AGI, more grape-leaning jasmine is coming forward in TOOI Roughly equivalent performance. Update 06/18/25: Sprayed this on this morning. Initially I get an impression of a bubblegum-tuberose that reminds me of L'Interdit Givenchy (although a bit less bubblegum-y), but that morphs into a sweet jasmine scent with coconut. But then in the air again the impression of tuberose. It's like all the notes come together to build an abstract tuberose, that oscillates between tuberose & grape-leaning-jasmine. This is probably why the first scent in the "reminds me of" section is Rouge Malachite Giorgio Armani - a tuberose scent. Love it.

Beautiful, feminine, sweet, warm, creamy, sensual, addictive, luxurious, seductive, and even a bit cozy feeling. I really enjoy this one... There’s almost a candy like sweetness to it, which I love! It opens sweet, floral, and citrusy with the neroli, green apple, and Italian mandarin. I really like the bright and sweet yet somewhat tart scent that the green apple brings to this. However, it’s when it starts to dry down that I think it becomes even more lovely. The scent becomes more sweet, warm, creamy, and sensual. I do think the jasmine is rather heady, but still pretty. I get a creamy and warm feel from the coconut instead of something tropical and summery. The syrupy like sweetness of the orange blossom, the sensual vanilla, and the warm and creamy cashmere wood really shine in the dry down. I think this is especially lovely during the colder months of fall and winter. However, I do think that this can work nicely as an evening fragrance throughout the whole year. It’s just really beautiful and addicting. I only have a 10ml decant right now, but this is one that I’m sure I’ll get more of. I get really great performance with The Only One Intense. The longevity is very good... it lasts throughout the entire day on me, and I can still smell it the next morning. The projection is nice too, it radiates out at least a few feet from me. For some reference, I own a few other D&G fragrances including: The One, The One Desire, Devotion, Dolce, and just recently The Only One Intense and Pour Femme Intense. I do enjoy all of them, but Dolce is my least favorite, followed by Devotion (which I’m surprised about since so many people love it and I’m a big vanilla and orange blossom fan... maybe too much lemon for me?). My favorites are The One and The One Desire, but I think The Only One Intense will be joining them. I’m still feeling out Pour Femme Intense, but I know that I definitely like it.

A luxurious coconut delight. I was really excited to try this one. The sleek black and gold bottle and gorgeous presentation really sung to me. Did I need this? Absolutely not. Did I want this? I couldn't resist. First spray is soft, mouth-watering coconut, a hint of apples, delicate orange blossom and Jasmine. Very beautiful, elegant and mysterious. It smells expensive. The juice matches the gorgeous bottle. The Only One Intense doesn't smell anything like her younger sister, The Only One, which is a powdery caramel bomb. This one is more refined and classy, think black fur coat (faux, of course) large pearl choker, expensive handbag, going to see a ballet at the theatre with champagne brought to your seat. I am in love with this dreamy, sexy perfume. She's sexy in a way where she's not trying too hard. A skin scent. Black lacy underwear and suspenders under a tight dress kind of scent. Reminds me of a warmer version of La Nuit Tresor Nude, except with white flowers instead of rose. I own both, and while I'll use my bottles up, I don't think you need to have both of these perfumes in your collection. The Only One Intense has really captured my heart with her warm vanilla, airy coconut, creamy white flowers and cashmere wood dry down. This is definitely going to be my "going to an fancy restaurant" or "black tie event" perfume. This little baby was quite expensive, but she's a luxury. I definitely won't be reaching for this every day, but then I don't need to. She'll be my little secret. EDIT: Friend told me I smelt absolutely divine. Boyfriend pulled me close and said I smelled lovely and sexy. This is a winner in my eyes! EDIT AGAIN: I have really fallen for this beautiful, delicious, sensual, creamy perfume. Everyone around me tells me I smell so elegant and sexy. Ahhh! A new signature to add to my collection. I never want to not own a bottle and need to buy a backup ASAP!

The Only One Intense is a very seductive, alluring, smooth, creamy vanilla based perfume with floral, fresh, fruity, coconuty nuances. Like in Light Blue, the green apple note has a very pronounced appearance in the opening of The Only One Intense. Blended with the green apple, here we have sweet mandarin orange and fresh neroli flowers carefully mixed. The heart notes, jasmine and orange blossoms are beautifully paired with a smooth, milky coconut. The cashmeran and vanilla from the base grounds up the flawless blend of white florals and fruits. Smells like a dense, very well balanced scent. I would say that The Only One Intense is an elegant scent! This is probably the most seductive and intoxicating creation of the regular line of Dolce&Gabbana perfumes. I have few other D&G scents that I love for years and are absolutely amazing creations for the price. Dolce Garden is another of my favourites, but that’s more summertime appropriate scent. The Only One Intense is a touch more versatile, can be worn during spring, summer and potentially fall season! It’s very long lasting and projects well. Full transparency, I have two bottles from years ago. I love this perfume! Apparently, it has been reformulated quite recently from other people mention in the comments section. I have an older formulation. On the same note, lots of people comment on similarities between this and Rouge Malachite, saying that are supposed to be smelling similar. I have not sampled Rouge Malachite so I can’t comment on that at this point in time. But I made it a priority that in my next trip to Italy to get my nose on Rouge Malachite. When that happens, I will add an update here. I adore The Only One Intense and keep hearing Demi Rawling mentioning how beautiful Rouge Malachite is! And one of her all time favourites. So I feel like I am missing out on something (potentially) even better!

Imagine a non-salty "Olympea EDP" with hints of a non-spicy "Crystal Noir EDP". You get "The Only One Intense" EDP. In a word, this fragrance bewitched me. I like Olympea but I never bought it because I find it too heady in the long run and therefore a bit nauseating. Not a big fan of the salt it contains either, to be honest. With the vanilla, it sometimes gives an old kitchen smell vibe (a bit like Pure XS from the same brand). On the other hand, I love Crystal Noir with its Coconut note, but I find it a bit too spicy fresh (I like ginger and cardamom, but with the black pepper it's a bit too much). Also I don't appreciate its chunky bottle (and that's one of the reasons I haven't bought it yet! ). The Only One Intense came to replace the 2 with perfection! When I was in the store few months ago, I was indifferent to many of the scents I was testing and had on my list. Then when I tested The Only One Intense, I opened my eyes wide and was speechless for a moment. It's crazy, it smells so good! I expected to like it, but not that much! Plus, I love its classy mysterious black bottle, just like the juice it contains. This is my new and best favorite after Armani Code Satin (my discontinued favorite). The Only One Intense is now my signature scent and definitely a compliment getter, especially from boys. It is a perfect balance of everything: Not too sweet, not too strong, not too loud, not too juvenile nor too mature. You can really wear it at any occasion, at any season, without being too much. But you should really love coconut and white flowers. BUT beware: Don't overspray it! 3 sprays are enough for the whole day. You might hate it at high doses because it is a bit synthetic (at least for my sensitive nose). 9.5/10!!

Sometimes I like this and other times I absolutely love it. It was a blind buy based on many of the positive reviews here. I personally do like grape bubblegum/candy scents but i don't get much of any of that from this perfume. Someone said it was similar to Armani My Way which is a favorite of mine, however to me they are nothing alike. I agree this is more like Alien which I like. I agree it's easier to wear than Alien too. However, the first time I tried it I thought it was too heavy and would not have agreed then with it being easier to wear than Alien. Not sure why that first spray was so potent. Ever since, maybe 2 weeks now it's very wearable and lighter than the first time I tried it. I put it on late afternoon and went out and about for a few hours. It seemed to fade quickly, I barely detected it an hour later. Most perfumes have poor performance on me. I'm used to scents fading within 3 hours when others claim longevity lasting upwards of 6-8 hours. Anyhow, returned home a few hours later, had dinner and decided to go for a walk with my little one right before sunset. The weather was quite warm today and the early evening was still warm but very pleasant. I sprayed this again before heading out and it was so beautiful then. Definitely a love, creamy and sweet. I did not get any of that sweet creaminess earlier. This is a repurchase since I use it all the time.

I recently became obsessed with Mugler's Alien Goddess Intense, but either its performance is sooooo disappointingly soft, or I'm quick to become anosmic to it. Sigh. I immediately started searching for a perfume with similar DNA and ended up buying a discounted bottle of The Only One Intense. This perfume isn't quite as sweet and summery in vibe, but I adore it just the same! I only wish the black vanilla note was bourbon vanilla instead. ;) The bottle design is also the perfect representation of the scent inside - it's sleek, luxurious and elegant without being overbearing or stuffy. Overall, The Only One Intense is a great "anytime" perfume and definitely worthy of signature scent status. ** Update 3/22 - I seldom wear the same perfume 2 days in a row, and I like this so much that I've worn it the last 3 days in a row! My oldest son also said it's his favorite out of all the perfumes I wear. Who knows.... maybe The Only One Intense will eventually become my signature. :)

This one is a good reminder for me that fragrances are rather genderless, but they may conjure up images and associations based on which one tags them as "for men" "for women". I tried this one by mistake. My fiancée bought some samples and one evening I found this one and applied generously as I was convinced that this was The One for Men Eau de Parfum. I've not tested the mens version before so I did not know how it should actually smell like. Being sure that this is mens perfume I judged that this is pretty manly, full bodied, rather evening, winter scent suitable for black tie occasion or more relaxed but still in a tie type of event... well... Now I don't even care about the men's version because Intense, despite being marketed for women, can be easily pulled off by men. This is in the genre ( not a "smells like" , but a group of scents ) of Valentino Uomo Intense, Dior Homme or Rodriguez for Him Bleu Noir Parfum. Nice manly fragrance for women...or the othe way round.

This is a lovely fragrance that didn’t wow me at first, but the scent bubble it provides is pure class and femininity. I’ve been on a hunt for a sexy jasmine fragrance for a while and though this is close, it’s not quite the only one after all for me! Opening is bright then the white florals (bubblegummy orange blossom + soft earthy jasmine) pop off and linger throughout before drying down to a cashmere woody sweetness . I don’t get coconut in a generic fashion, more fleshy coconut with some sweet cream. Reminds me of sticky rice with coconut ice cream a bit. Definitely a beautiful & exotic vibe. This is subtly sexy and I think I’m looking for a bolder sexiness. Performance is not ideal, but she’s a respectable perfume. Update: After nearly emptying my sample I decided I need her! It warms up beautifully on the skin with this unique earthy drydown and has the rare ability to translate well in any weather. I’ll just get another scent to be my sexbomb white floral 😅

This is a beautiful and well-rounded scent. The white florals never pull screechy due to the coconut and woody/vanilla base. The opening of green apple and mandarin is fleeting, but lovely. I’ve only tested RM once, but from what I recall, they are evocative of each other. The jasmine here is not indolic. This is the only fragrance I’ve smelled that incorporates coconut without pulling tropical- which is a good thing in my book as I’m not a fan of sunscreeny scents. It is extremely versatile and I can see it wearing well in any season/occasion. It evokes a certain coolness vs warmth. This has a polite sillage; it’s not a projection beast but it’s not meek either. It is a lovely & feminine white floral fragrance with tinges of coconut and citrus that manages to be both elegant and inviting. Gorgeous bottle as well.

Awh, I bought this baby years a go when I was in college and was just starting out on fragrances, this was actually my first ever blind buy, and first ever LOVE. I wore it day in and day out for the first few months, it’s been a few years and I still grab for it occasionally, and I still fall in love with it everytime. Even after my nose has smelled hundreds of beautiful, well refined, expensive perfumes - this still holds up. I think it’s the only perfume I have from that time that I haven’t sold, my longest trooper. Creamy jasmine mixed with the very delicate coconut aroma that rounds this out, along with this juicy green apple. So well blended, so creamy, decedent in a non gourmand way. This isn’t warm, this leans to the cooler side. It’s feminine, sweet, sexy. I think I’ll forever have this in my collection!

The Only One Intense is a black velvet cocktail — neroli and mandarin fizzing into orange blossom and jasmine, like honeyed white florals laced with toasted coconut on a warm, woody base. The opening sparkles with soapy-powdery neroli freshness and green apple tang, blooming into bubblegum-sweet orange blossom that's opulent yet balanced, with jasmine adding creamy depth without heaviness. It dries to mesmerizing warmth: vanilla, cedar, and cashmeran create a fuzzy, oriental haze — evoking elegant coconut-vanilla with a raspy wood edge, sexy and versatile without tipping into cloying territory. Bolder than the original, it's a winter standout blending floral luxury with subtle gourmand allure. Lasts 8+ hours with moderate-to-strong sillage — perfect for evenings craving compliments and sultry confidence.

Just wanted to comment this because I have experienced it with multiple fragrances in the past 8 months. Some fragrances really do need to mancerate. This line, L'interdit and the intense, as well as a couple Jimmy Choo fragrances that I've gotten recently they have all improved with maceration. I feel like I have not gotten the best out of many fragrances now that I have taken the time to let things sit. There are around 12 that I have made myself give time to that have really just blew me out of the water once I did and just wanted to share. I'm not "new" with purchasing and loving fragrances but I have started to have a better appreciation for them. So I just wanted to share that this and other ones that are similar really do blossom into how they are intended to perform once given a bit to sit 🪑🖤

The high ceiling adorned with intricate swirls of flowery, heavy magenta curtains drape next to frozen windowsills, crystals hanging from the chandelier, gold plated frames of oil paintings. She unfurls her fur hat and coat, the snow caught in between the strands comes down as if it was a second snowfall under the clicks and clacks of her kitten heeled lace up boots, she accepts the bouquet of white-pink roses in his arms with glee and he takes her coat as he accompanies her to pull back the white painted metal chair with an interwoven design on the backside. He shrugs off the memory, shakes off the effects of the smell of her perfume as if she was right there with him at that moment, he gently opens the envelope filled with lines upon lines of feminine prose delicately unraveling her inner world.

Just wanted to drop another review as I’ve sampled Rouge Malachite and I’d like to compare the two. First off, yes they are very similar though not at all dupes. The Only One Intense is definitely the younger one, it’s naughtier and more seductive, Rouge Malachite is smoother, more refined, more elegant and mature. Both are equally womanly, and both give off a sophisticated, ‘dark femme’ vibe, but Rouge Malachite is more formal and linear. I prefer The Only One Intense, and found Rouge Malachite boring and oppressive after awhile. Rouge Malachite has much better longevity (while The Only One Intense disappoints in the longevity department), but both project magnificently (3-4 hours of gorgeous sillage from The Only One Intense before it becomes a skin scent).

This is one of my signature scents, I have had this since it came out, and it's my absolute favourite date night scent. It is perfect for cooler summer nights or bright transitional fall days. I have gotten compliments wearing this, especially from men, not that it should matter, but this could help someone who might be looking for a special date scent. It is creamy and sweetly floral, with a deliciously bitter tail to it, and almost buttery while remaining fresh and clean. This is what I imagine a grown sensual woman from the tropics would smell like, and that is who I believe I am lol. I will always have this in my collection, so Dolce&Gabbana don't you dare make me grieve again with that year long discontinuation scare!

Love this. Reminds me a bit of Alien, but prettier and with a fresher neroli and coconut vibe. It has that "grapey" thing in the opening like Alien, but not as in your face. I have to disagree with the comparison below to the Lattafa Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited. I own that and its almost all creamy milky coconut and musk to my nose. Unlimited lacks the beautiful florals and neroli/apple freshness that The Only One Intense has. The Only One Intense also reminds me of Rouge Malachite like many others have mentioned...but only in the deep drydown...less pepper/spice and easier to wear. Funny there is no Tuberose or Gardenia in this one as that is the effect the mix of florals has to me. Great fragrance!

Sweet baby Jesus, this was love at first sniff! I was walking around the store getting turned on by the smell on my wrist after spraying this.... I might even buy 2 bottles! This one is in the same vein as Black Opium, which happens to be my signature scent so I am ok with this. This is a creamy scent but there’s something in the heart of it that I can’t quite figure out.... maybe the cashmere? Longevity is intense, I sprayed this 6 hours ago and it hadn’t lost any of its power, which is impressive. I prefer this much more to the original “The One”, that one was a little too syrup-y smelling. 10/10, lovely perfume, will definitely get you noticed and/or laid

This definitely has become my signature scent for colder seasons, since it's super addicting! The CREAMINESS - oh my god the creaminess - you cannot ignore how milky and sweet it smells in an aboslutely hypnotizing way, it doesn't sting in the nose like super sweet perfumes do for me, but it calms you and gives you the feeling of sitting in an expensive lounge, wearing a long black dress and a white fluffy fur coat on top. I just wish it could be more aggressive, since it does not "sit" in the room, but it's only noticeable once you're closer to the skin, which makes me take it with me everywhere I go to reapply the prefume. But it's a 9/10 I LOVE IT

One of my absolute favoritessss. This, to me, is a lush, creamy coconut version of Alien. Not like Alien Goddess, which has no semblance of the original Alien to my nose and actually smells like baby wipes (not creamy coconut and definitely not lush at all). This is also long lasting and projects very well. This is deep and sensual. I often receive compliments on my scent and am known for smelling good, but this scent in particular received a compliment I'll never forget. It drove him nuts and I learned this is a great scent to wear for intimate occasions. I also love to layer this with Ariana Grande's Cloud to sweeten and fluff it up.

This fragrance is a beautiful, seductive floral. I get the comparisons to Rouge Malachite. There are similarities, but they are not dupes of each other. More like distant cousins. This fragrance stands on its own. I like the sleek black bottle, it fits the perfume. To my nose, I smell mostly jasmine and orange blossom with a creamy, vanilla base. Maybe a touch of coconut. I've heard this may have been discontinued. I hope not. It's gorgeous and my favorite from this line. Side note: I checked Dolce & Gabbana's US website, this fragrance is not listed if that's relevant. Longevity: 7/10 Projection: 8/10 Overall Experience: 8.5/10

I think my bottle has gone off - I'm getting this alcoholic/chemical forward smell right when I spray it that I've never smelled before, even though it settles into it's usual heart notes after about 10 mins. I store my fragrances properly and this is the first time this has ever happened to me, my bottle is less than 3 years old I wonder if I got a bad batch or if this is a recurring issue with this line? EDIT: I've since learned that this got discontinued and am looking at my bottle going bad as a blessing in disguise because it meant I snagged a new bottle before it sold out!

This is a truly beautiful, intoxicating white floral. The coconut is strong, but not tropical-- it adds a lactonic quality to the composition. The green apple adds just a touch of tart fruitiness, but the fragrance as a whole is very sweet. Not sugary gourmand sweet, but lush floral sweet. This is what I wanted Love Don't be Shy to be-- that one is too linear and the marshmallow note is too sugary. If you want something more elegant, try this. As far as the comparison to Alien Goddess Intense goes, there are definitely similarities but this smells stronger and of higher quality.

Wow. This one lasts a full 8 hour shift on me. It projects for the first hour but sits close to the skin soon after. I sprayed twice on my neck and twice on each shoulder today. I can still smell it on me after 5+ hours. Its syrupy sweet, not sugary. Also, dense and smoky. I’ve never smelt any tom ford perfumes but i think this smells like ebene fume or bois moraccain or something. There’s something like burning wood in this. I only get the coconut mostly on the dry down. The green apple note, i can smell only from the bottle though. Overall, I like it. Not a love though.

The only one intense opens with gorgeous white flowers and a citrusy groovy. The jasmine here resembles the Mugler Alien Jasmine note. For that reason and the added coconut note, The only one intense could easily be an Alien Goddess flanker. Now, the dry down of this fragrance is something else. We have a stunning creamy coconut note that blends beautifully with vanilla and softwoods like Cedar and Cashmere. So inviting, sexy and cozy at the same time. Sillage is moderate to low and longevity could be better but doesn't all good things come to the end? @deepgreenbeauty

One of my most complimented perfumes ever. Every time I wear it, someone asks what I’m wearing. To me, The Only One Intense smells like the perfect love child of Memo Paris Marfa and Mugler Alien. Imagine Marfa’s creamy, solar white florals blended with Alien’s radiant jasmine and sensual warmth. If those two had a baby, this would be it. It’s elegant, addictive, feminine, and incredibly easy to wear. Rich enough to make an impression, yet smooth enough that it never feels overwhelming. I absolutely love it, and it will always have a place in my collection.

Sprayed this on this morning. Initially I get an impression of a bubblegum-tuberose that reminds me of L'Interdit Givenchy (although a bit less bubblegum-y), but that morphs into a sweet jasmine scent with coconut. But then in the air again the impression of tuberose. It's like all the notes come together to build an abstract tuberose, that oscillates between tuberose & grape-leaning-jasmine. This is probably why the first scent in the "reminds me of" section is Rouge Malachite Giorgio Armani - a tuberose scent. Love it. Original review 07/11/23.

I get a slight cinnamon vibe from this on my skin, but it must just be me as I've never seen anyone else say that in reviews. Maybe it's the woods. I don't get any coconut or not much vanilla, but I think these notes are what gives it a slight sweetness and coziness. I can't really pick out any of the individual notes, probably because it just so well blended. On first spray I get a little bit of fruitiness, but that fades and dries down to a warm, sexy alluring fragrance. I really love it

This is a dense white floral that works best in cooler weather. The green apple in the top note gives it a crispness in the opening. The coconut just adds some creaminess. The dry down is cozy but some of the white florals stick around. The silage is good, it leaves a trail and lasts a good 6-8 hours on my skin, longer on clothes. This leans toward the mature side & is classy. I found it a bit nauseating when I tried to wear it during summer but now that it’s cooler again, it’s just right.

Perfection - this fragrance has creamy, sweet floral and fruity notes with a delicate coconut that I absolutely adore. I’m late to the party but so glad I know about this one now! I’ll be getting a back up bottle for sure. It’s fairly warm here today (Australia) and this was fantastic to wear. Went to the beach for a bit and could still detect it after putting on sun lotion. Longevity and sillage are good without being overpowering. I’ll be wearing this one often.

I’m sort of shocked how much I like this. I have a number of niche, expensive white florals and the more I delve into this pricey perfume hobby of mine, the more disappointed I become with mainstream stuff. BUT....this is wonderful. The Only One Intense punches way above her weight class. A lush, dense, intoxicating white floral that is well-blended with interesting nuances. I might prefer this over Rouge Malachite and the longevity is far better. Big love 💗

Wow! What a successful blind buy, I think I've found myself a new signature scent, absolutely stunning fragrance.So perfectly blended, jasmine, orange blossom and vanilla are the most prominent notes, coconut and wood makes it more creamy and deep. I collect perfumes and honestly it's very rare when I get impressed by a fragrance but this is beautiful! And I love the bottle. People say it's similar to Alien... I would say it's more similar to Good Girl

What a beautiful fragrance. I was not expecting much with the simple unassuming bottle but the fragrance swoon me away. It's a refined floral with a rich mysterious base. The coconut is perfectly blended and is added to the mix rather than taking over as it does in so many coconut based fragrance. It's a seducing little number and it's becoming my night time signature scent. I would say that it is quite a safe blind buy if the notes resonate with you.

The Only One Intense is the perfect nighttime fragrance. I had so many fun nights out wearing this and for a while, it was my signature scent. The fragrance itself is a safe blind buy. To my nose, the apple note isn't screechy. Instead, the coconut and vanilla notes soften it. I don't get much fruitiness from this fragrance either. It's quite woody and creamy with a dark floral somehow; almost like incense. Perfect for date night. It's very sexy.

I love this one more than the original 'The Only One'. I remember when I ordered the set, I got a free candle of this scent. I kept meaning to purchase it and finally remembered it. This is great for tropical weather with that coconut note. D&G should continue cranking this out for the millions who live in a tropical climate. Instant love safe blind buy for Gourmand lovers who love a coconut WATER note. It's not sharp, spray on moisturized skin.

I usually hate coconut in all its possible forms, but coconut in this perfume is not just bearable, but very pleasant. This play between florals and coconut is so tantalizing and beautiful that I always need to have a backup bottle in my collection. Longevity on my skin goes up to 7-8 hours. Projection: probably around 2-3 hours (my mom visited me 2-3 hours after I applied the fragrance and felt it from more than 1 meter away from me). Love it!

Was my signature night scent for years and it’s a staple in my collection. Very elegant and sexy, mature (but not old), basically a woman that knows what she wants. One thing I noticed is there is a perfume that smells very similar to this one which is Olympéa Absolu by Pacco Rabanne and they are redundant. This one is more floral forward while Olympéa Absolu is more vanilla forward. Basically the same scent with this one being less sweet.

Nothing special, a safe blind buy for autumn. Cozy, sweater weather fragrance on the mild creamy side. I get so much vanillic orangey vibes and coconut but I could'nt smell jasmine strangely. Feminine but I wouldn't say sexy or young. This one is 25+ age I guess. Overall I like it, a crowd pleaser but nothing hypnotic. I will try this one with Alien to mild down Alien a bit to creamy side, but I don't know it will work out :/

I don't know what was going on with my nose when I tested this, but reminded me so much of Versace's Crystal Noir. I think someone else mentioned it as well. Although not listed, I got such a clean ginger note in the background. This smells like Crystal Noir with coconut and sweetness amped up. I LOVE this scent, it's very intoxicating and sexy on the darker side. Will be adding it to my collection.

Is no one getting versace crystal noir from this ?? Anyway, I LOVE this, Dolce and Gabbana are yet to have a coconut creamy vanilla scent that I don't like. Although everyone is saying this is date night friendly I think you can easily pull this off in the morning because of that coconut rich creamy base that grounds it in both day or night times as well as winter and summer. Truly a marvel ❤️

Omg!!! This is my type of fragrance! It's fantastic... It's sweet, but not too sweet, creamy and smooth. I think I need to try Rouge Malachite because this fragrance is compared to that fragrance. I'm guessing it's a higher quality and better ingredient version of The Only One Intense. If somebody will DM me if they have tried both and tell me what they think it would be greatly appreciated.

I felt in love with this fragrance because of its beautiful and sofisticated sweetness. It is an elegant and seductive mix of coconut and flowers, withouth being offensive or aggressive. The coconut gives creaminess to the fragrance, while the Jasmine and the Orange Blossom makes it very "airy" and a bit fresh. Longevity is 5/6 hours and on clothes it lasts forever. It is all year round.

This lives up to the hype. Strong woody, vanilla with moments of coconut and neroli. When it says intense, it's not lying. The scent is bold and exceptionally long lasting, I can understand why some can't handle it. I wouldn't blind buy it, test it first before committing. I think it might be discontinued which is a shame because it's a powerhouse, perfect for cold or warm weather.

Dolce & Gabbana The Only One Intense smells like how Versace Crystal Noir used to smell before the reformulation in 2021. It’s a kind of suntan lotion smell, only prettier. It’s tropical, with a prominent, creamy coconut. Crystal Noir used to be my signature scent back in the day, but after the reformulation, I can’t stand it. So glad I have this one to replace it.

Oh this is love. Opens with green apple mixed perfectly with white florals. I the coconut makes the white florals so creamy and youthful without smelling remotely like sunscreen. Is has a sweetness and tartness that are really balanced so well. This scent thrives in cooler weather. One of those scents that just makes me feel fresh and joyful on a cold day.

This is a beautiful scent, sweet and floral with that musky sweet dry down. When I first smelled it, I thought it was familiar in that I had owned it before. But as I went through my collection I realized it's similar to my favorite Yara fragrance, Moi. Similar scent profile, however this one is very long lasting. Happy to have it join my collection.
