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.

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
Tangerine, green apple, orange blossom... Neroli! ... as expected, this could be almost fruity and bombastic in the nose - but far from it.

"D&G" is absolutely and in no way provided for in any of my prey schemes (*pssst*- is not even on a self-extended waiting list - no matter what it should 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 so casually, or you amuse yourself about the always strikingly thickly applied, gold emblazoned label, which you encounter in different forms on some utensils from time to time on the street That's how you, better woman, always imagine "Dolce Vita", opulent, pompous, rich, shrill, colourful, glittering, shiny, exaggerated, ... and then this:

The Only One Intense contradicts all these characteristics. It starts off slightly fruity, but this is rather subdued, not fruity fresh. It is warm from the start, sweetly warm, but not summery warm, it is cuddly warm. In this respect, it is perfect for the current season and I can well imagine that it is well dosed! It is just as well wearable on elegant or sensual warm summer nights ... and it is sensual enough for that The rather warm heart and base notes hold the reins invisibly from the start, counteracting the fruity notes, but after a while they take over the regime completely. To do justice to the character of the perfume, they should do so - and exactly this calculation, this mix, works out.

The Only One Intense is a complete surprise. It fascinates, has a magical effect, is addictive, because again and again I catch myself putting sprayed wrists or clothes on my nose - wonderful, divine well-being for the nose, a different kind of Dolce Vita, one, even on grey days.

As such a flowery, as it is already read in the description of the fragrance above, I do not feel it so much, but subliminally creamy and slightly powdery, which rounds off the previously described characteristics once again beautifully.
And: it holds ... and holds ... and holds - perfectly, without sticking!
This certain "understatement" is also embodied and underlined by the rather plain bottle. Not very pompous despite the gold lettering and an equally pompous ring discreetly on the cap. The latter is also made of glass, not plastic, and thus underlines the value of the bottle, which - even if only subliminally - contributes to the overall impression.

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

A warm companion - for me for the summer
So first of all: I think I'm almost alone with my opinion on a wide floor. But first I would like to explain how I came to this fragrance.

My favorite Youtuber Paulina Schar has featured this scent in her videos up and down. In both warm and sensual and date scents, this beautiful black bottle was always there. Since she and I have similar "smells", I had to order this scent. Even though it was very dangerous to just blindly hit it - because I'm not really a neroli fan, unfortunately. But what else is left in the current situation also not. But well. No sooner said than done - two days later it arrived. With joyful expectation I unpacked the fragrance, sniffed it and WOW - what I get at first is a strong coconut and vanilla, which plays quite happily with the floral notes. A fresh fruitiness is delivered at the start by the apple, mandarin and just very subtly the scent of neroli. After the first couple of minutes, the fresh notes drop down a bit and you're left with an incredibly harmonious blend of florals, coconut and vanilla that feels so cozy and creamy that you can't help but feel good about the scent. For me, it also has a total oriental EInschlag because of the vanilla-apple-coconut combo.

Furthermore, he shines with a very good durability and a pleasant sillage, but not slaying, but is still present.

However, when I look at the categorization of the community, that the fragrance is rather put in the winter and autumn, I fall totally out of line.

I fundamentally imagine this fragrance to be good in all seasons and yes, everyone is right that it suits the cool seasons very well as it is warm, heavy and creamy.
However, when I close my eyes and sniff the scent, it immediately transports me to a balmy summer evening at a restaurant, beach or boardwalk with a glass of Hugo. Due to the for me oriental impact and the dominant coconut, it just belongs for me quite clearly in my go-to summer fragrances for the evening.

Possibly someone understands my slightly different enthusiasm for the fragrance.

Even now I wear it with pleasure and can hardly wait to make my ideas of the fragrance come true in the summer

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
