About This Perfume
Dolce&Gabbana The One For Men Eau de Parfum Intense smells like sweet cardamom wood, black leather, warm resin. It opens with cardamom, cypress and neroli, moves into cashmeran, benzoin and clary sage and settles on patchouli, labdanum and black leather. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
It is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. It suits date nights. Released in 2020.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for date nights.
- Sample first if: sweet is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike spicy fragrances.
Around $105.
