The One for Men Dolce & Gabbana 2015 Eau de Parfum

You were the chosen one...
And with these nerdy words, I want to approach the best seller 'The One EdP'. About the fragrance: I have often read that this scent is the ultimate date fragrance. A real woman magnet, so they say. Furthermore, this scent is said to please almost everyone. Is that true? YES! It is a wonderful fragrance. Simply enchanting. I perceive it as spicy and woody only to a limited extent. Rather sweet/fruity, but that’s what makes it somehow so pleasant. I can’t get enough of it and could have it on my skin forever. However, we must burst the dream bubble here. Although I believe the scent is a 10/10, I still find it difficult to recommend purchasing it. The reason for this is its very weak longevity and sillage. When I wore the scent enthusiastically on my skin, I let a family member sniff me a few minutes later. I could read the question mark on her face directly. Yes, the reason for this was unfortunately that the scent was hardly perceptible. It unfortunately disappears extremely quickly and is only noticeable up close. Very disappointing. I have tested it repeatedly in the perfumery in the hope that I might have been mistaken, but unfortunately, the result has always been the same. The perfume is definitely a dream for the nose, but definitely not "the chosen one." Unfortunately, it is not THE perfume par excellence and only partially lives up to the hype due to its poor longevity/sillage. Very unfortunate. This perfume has such enormous potential. If the longevity/sillage were better, it would undoubtedly be part of my collection without hesitation.
Update:
I couldn’t help myself and have tested the scent more often in the last few days. I have increasingly noticed that there is indeed more spice in this fragrance than I remembered. Especially in the "opening." In retrospect, I perceive it as rather sweet, as described. Now I have tried 7 sprays and perceive it a bit more this way, or it is also perceived a bit better. Nevertheless, unfortunately still too weak. I don’t want to apply 7 sprays every time just to smell it "a little." So much for my addition. Best regards.

But 7 sprays? I need at least double that to smell decent for 2-3 hours.
