What Does The One for Men Smell Like?
The One for Men opens fresh and aromatic, with grapefruit adding brightness while basil and coriander introduce a green, lightly spicy character.
Ginger and cardamom warm the heart, while orange blossom adds a smooth floral accent without turning the fragrance overtly floral.
The drydown becomes warmer and more sensual as tobacco, amber, and cedar take over. The overall scent is spicy, woody, slightly sweet, and tobacco-tinged with a refined evening character.
The One Eau de Toilette vs. The One Eau de Parfum
The One for Men Eau de Toilette is the original 2008 release and presents the profile with a fresher, more aromatic character.
The One for Men Eau de Parfum was introduced later as a deeper and more intense interpretation. Dolce&Gabbana currently describes the Eau de Parfum around Italian Tarocco blood orange, French clary sage, and Australian sandalwood.
If you prefer the lighter, more classic expression of The One, the Eau de Toilette is a natural starting point. If you prefer a richer and denser interpretation, the Eau de Parfum may be worth sampling alongside it.
Performance and Best Occasions
The One for Men combines aromatic freshness with warm spice, tobacco, amber, and woods, making it particularly well suited to evenings, dinners, date nights, social events, and dressed-up casual occasions.
Its warmer tobacco and amber character works especially well in fall, winter, and cooler spring weather, although lighter application can make it versatile across much of the year.
Longevity, projection, and sillage can vary depending on skin chemistry, application, climate, and environment.
Why Try a The One for Men Sample?
A The One for Men sample allows you to experience how its fresh aromatic opening develops into warm spice, tobacco, amber, and cedar on your own skin before investing in a full-size bottle.
Sampling is also useful if you are deciding between The One Eau de Toilette and the deeper Eau de Parfum interpretation.
If The One is already part of your fragrance rotation, a larger travel-size decant offers a convenient way to carry it without transporting the original bottle.

Fragrance Care & Warm-Weather Delivery
Fragrance—whether in a decant, travel spray, or full bottle—is best experienced and stored at room temperature.
If your fragrance arrives warm:
- Bring the package inside as soon as possible.
- Allow the fragrance to return to room temperature for several hours, or overnight, before spraying.
- Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Do not refrigerate or freeze it.
A fragrance exposed to warm transit conditions may smell slightly different while it is still warm. Once it has cooled and rested, it should smell and perform as intended. For the vast majority of shipments, temporary warmth during delivery is not a cause for concern.
Every fragrance is carefully inspected and packaged before shipment.
