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.

Don’t get fooled
My story with this fragrance - it might’ve been secretly reformulated since. I first ordered from flaconi feared it was a fake since packaging didn’t match the later version : and the scent was soooo weak, it disappeared withing first 10min. It smelled good though.
So guess what i did? I overpaid 136e for 100ml now from Sephora in hoping to get an original one or to be sure this time. Guess what? 0 Differences, that time i understand that flaconis one have been the original but it’s the fragrance itself that was so deceiving.

Please be so careful, don’t get mislead by the review below, because i can guarantee you paying hundred dollars for a 5min longevity - it’s a waste of money.

By the way, no more coco notes exist in there

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.

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

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
