So sophisticated

I love this. Wearable year around. Smells like luxurious lotion. Very nice and creamy and a bit tropical. Sophisticated scent for many occasions.

Coconut isn't too overpowering and it doesn't smell like sunscreen either. So even though you don't like coconut I highly recommend to try this one out.

Performs really nicely and the bottle is stunning. The Only One Intense will be a part of my collection forever.

Almost identical to Rouge Malachite

I blind bought a 50ml bottle of this because I loved The Only One Eau de Parfum and The One Eau de Parfum, and heard rumours it was being discontinued. I decided I wanted a bottle before I missed it.

For the record, and the commenter above, I bought my bottle a month ago. The longevity on my The Only One Eau de Parfum Intense is decent enough for the price, however I’m also comparing this to Armani Privé - Rouge Malachite. As for pricing, this is considered an averagely priced designer fragrance. I paid £60 for 50ml (pretty cheap in today’s money) of The Only One Intense. Armani’s Rouge Malachite is more than 3x’s the cost at £220 for 50ml or £300 for 100ml!

The Only One Intense is a lovely, intoxicating, creamy coconut and tuberose fragrance. It’s a good quality scent for the price and perfect for spring, summer or a warm autumn day. Comparing it side by side with Rouge Malachite, The Only One Intense does have a bit of a screechy or stronger orange blossom note on the initial spray, however this does die down quickly. The scents are almost identical! I’d actually say a good 95% the same for the first hour. It’s really quite difficult to tell the difference. After one hour The Only One Eau de Parfum Intense becomes a skin scent, after two hours The Only One Eau de Parfum Intense does become softer than Armani Privé - Rouge Malachite . After 3 hours the strength of both scents are near enough the same! I will say I personally don't care about longevity. I automatically top up fragrances when I feel I can’t smell them anyway, so it isn’t something I bother about unless it was extremely poor. The longevity on Armani Privé - Rouge Malachite is of course better, as you’d expect at 3x’s the cost, but for me that’s also a skin scent after an hour (albeit stronger) I still love Rouge Malachite. It will always be my favourite scent, but this is a brilliant and much cheaper alternative if you don’t want to fork out on Armani! Great value for money in my opinion!

But, but .... I Hate Coconut! How Can This Be?

Sweet creamy coconut with luscious white flowers, a little spiciness, delicious vanilla, and velvety soft cashmere wood. Smooth, rich, and bordering gourmand. I purchased a tester for my sister because she loves coconut perfumes but decided to test as the box wasn't sealed anyway. I was so sure I would hate it, since I hate coconut in perfumes. Instead, I fell head over heels in love. Oh well, looks like she'll have to wait for the other bottle I ordered because this is now staying with me.

Signature Scent

Such a beautiful perfume! I fell in love with it the moment I smelled it. The black sleek bottle is absolutely beautiful, but does not reflect what is inside! Inside is a beautifully creamy white floral perfume that is so comforting and romantic. She is a touch soapy and it feels like you're in a luxuriously milky bath. You definitely get hit with the gorgeous jasmine (in the same realm of Alien) but it is so well balanced with that creamy coconut and orange blossom. I've gotten so many compliments and it just lasts forever on your clothes. It is a warm, creamy scent that's appropriate at the office AND on a date. The coconut is not a green summery tropical coconut, but a very milky and sweet coconut making it last forever. Personally, I don't think this is a sexy date night/on the prowl perfume or a club perfume. She's the girl that's been in a longterm relationship with a man (or woman) that just adores her, with a very feminine fashion sense and a hella successful career. Think flowy dress and heels instead of a sharp power suit. I just love this perfume.

Dolce & Vita for the Nose

Mandarin, green apple, orange blossom, ... neroli! ... as expected, this could initially burst forth in a nearly fruity-bombastic way - but far from it.

“D&G” is absolutely and in no way part of any of my target schemes (*pssst* - not even on a self-extended waiting list - no matter what it might be about).
Sure, they have beautiful, sometimes very chic things in terms of fashion and accessories, for example, but I only take note of that casually or one might be amused by the occasionally strikingly bold, golden label that one encounters in various forms on different items on the street.
Thus, one imagines “Dolce Vita” again and again, opulent, flowery, rich, shrill, colorful, glittering, shining, exaggerated, ... and then this:

The Only One Intense contradicts all these characteristics. It starts off slightly fruity, but in a muted way, not fruity fresh. It is warm from the very beginning, sweet warm, but not summery warm; it is cozy warm. Seen this way, it is made for the current season, and I can very well imagine that it is also well wearable in elegant or sensual balmy summer nights when dosed properly! ... and it is sensual enough for that.
The rather warm heart and base notes initially hold the reins invisibly from the start, dampening the fruity notes, but after a while, they completely take over the regime. They are supposed to do that, to do justice to the character of the perfume, and this calculation, this mix, works out perfectly.

The Only One Intense surprises across the board. It fascinates, feels magical, is addictive, because I keep catching myself bringing sprayed wrists or clothing to my nose - delightful, divine comfort for the nose, a different kind of Dolce Vita, even on gray days.

As flowery as it may sound in the fragrance description above, I don’t perceive it that way; rather, I find it subtly creamy and slightly powdery, which beautifully rounds off the previously described characteristics.
And: It lasts ... and lasts ... and lasts - perfect, without being sticky!

This certain “understatement” is also embodied and emphasized by the rather simple bottle. Not pompous despite the golden lettering and a similarly subtle ring on the cap. The latter is also made of glass, not plastic!, and thus reinforces the quality, which - even if only subtly - contributes to the overall impression.

No, no, The Only One Intense has something, for sure - and equipped with that, the gray, stormy season can come!

It coul d be a sexy gem but the coconut note, too sweetish, makes it very unbalanced and "too much".Anyway, strong sillage. A winter scent

Smooth, sophisticated coconut scent. Jasmine + soft fruitiness adds intrigue. Good year-round + performs very well. Sad it's discontinued!

Prototype of the first Taser weapons I assume, caliber seduction! After use, don't forget to place the target in a stable side position!

The Only One at the cake gathering with rich chocolate cake and liqueur is beautifully gourmand and dark, but after the schnapps, there's a headache :-O

If orange blossom, then like this. Sweet, lush, beautiful, clearly synthetic. Similar to many others, but among the blind, it's king for me. Wearable!
