Somewhat spontaneously, I decided to open a bottle that I had ordered several months ago. A simple, sweet-gourmand fragrance with cardamom, toffee, and vanilla - you cannot go wrong with it at cold weather.

Rainy December 2nd so I thought I’d brighten up my personal day by smelling good with one of my all time favorites that’s always in my top three. Often imitated, never equaled. The one and only Creed Aventus no matter how many changes it’s gone thru, it’s still considered the gold standard.

I kicked off this week by testing out my new travel size of The One EDP by Dolce & Gabbana, and I wanted to share my thoughts on this modern classic. From the moment I spritzed it on, I was greeted with a fresh opening that surprised me with its mildly sweet citrus aroma and a hint of ginger. It's definitely more vibrant than what you'd typically expect from a tobacco scent. After about 5 minutes, the fragrance evolves into a delightful blend of sweet and spicy tobacco. Don't worry about any overwhelming smokiness here; it leans more towards a pleasant, subtly sweet aroma. As the journey progresses, around the twenty-minute mark, the drydown begins, and the tobacco note remains prominent, now beautifully complemented by a sweet amber and mild white florals. This combination gives it a rich depth without being overpowering. One notable downside that many have pointed out is the performance. After the initial application, the scent seems to lose its projection after about an hour, transitioning to a skin scent up to the fourth hour before it eventually fades away. While I can understand the criticism regarding its longevity, I personally don’t mind it. I see The One EDP as an excellent choice for a date night or a cozy dinner, rather than a loud club environment. It's also perfectly suitable for the workplace during colder months, as it's a soft scent that’s easy on the nose. Overall, I believe this fragrance still holds its ground even in 2025. Not every scent needs to be a performance beast. Sometimes, it’s refreshing to have a fragrance that’s versatile and safe enough to wear anywhere. I’d say The One EDP is definitely a worthwhile purchase for anyone looking for a sophisticated yet approachable scent.
