My statement about this fragrance is a good three years old, and I now own a bottle. The scent impression from "back then" seems to me today to be rather undifferentiated and does not really capture the essence of the fragrance. Therefore, I would like to delve a little deeper into the scent and perhaps encourage one or the other to give it a try.

The fragrance starts sweet, but at the same time, there is also a sour note present. Above all, I perceive amber and a bit of rosewood. It doesn't take long before a powdery note develops, mixed with a hint of oranges and berries; however, these remain subtly in the background and never take over. I can only smell the bergamot minimally in the overall impression of "sour." The mentioned flowers float as a whole above the fragrance, but individual floral notes are difficult to name. They take away some of the sour impression and provide a bit of lightness. The rose is probably the only one I can identify. Occasionally, it also appears a bit soapy, although I perceive the fragrance rather dry-powdery. Additionally, as the scent evolves, I detect something woody and very slightly earthy. This may be due to the patchouli.

The sillage decreases quite quickly but remains present and is easily noticeable to others. The fragrance composition is unusual and exciting, and only after wearing it several times can I perceive the different nuances and appreciate the facets of the scent. For me, the fragrance is not suitable for everyday wear. It demands my attention repeatedly, making it almost exhausting. But when I want something "different," it fits just right.

I would be very interested in further scent impressions.

I ordered The Only One 2 untested because I liked the first one so much. Now I’m sitting here after several days and some test sprays and phases, and I’m really undecided. How can the scent be described? The Only One is fruity.

At the beginning, I smell sweet pears and tangy, sparkling blackberries. Sometimes the pears dominate, sometimes the blackberries. However, as it progresses, the berries win out, so the scent doesn’t become too sweet. It is sweet, but pleasantly so. The fruity start is complemented by delicate little flowers. The roses and violets fit wonderfully with the tangy blackberry and remain subtle in the background.
As it develops further, woods and the familiar coffee note come into play. The rose becomes a bit louder, while the blackberry becomes quieter.

All in all, the scent is quite nice. I like the fruity start. However, the middle part, the heart note, is more to my taste in the first one. The powdery violets make it so special and different from Black Opium, which has often been referred to as its twin. Here, the rose and the fruity notes are more in the spotlight.

And then the base... my nose refuses to perceive it. I just can’t smell the scent anymore. No idea why that is. Maybe a scent blindness. I have a hint of tonka bean, rose, and woods.

The bottle is quite nice, fitting the fruity aspect of the scent. The transition from sweet to tangy notes at the beginning is really interesting. As I said, I don’t like the heart note as much compared to the first one, and I can hardly perceive the base.

I’ll stick with The Only One.

I am in love. I never would have expected this in my life. The bottle is so kitschy that the fragrance almost passed me by. The name doesn't appeal to me either and evokes strange associations. LololitaLand, everything colorful and fairy-tale-like, peace joy pancakes... well, and so on. So it's more for a young, quirky target audience that likes sweet scents. And even there, the fragrance will find its followers. But not only! Because the scent is not just sweet.

The fragrance is elegant. It comes without synthetics and is cohesive. Everything is so wonderfully coordinated and yes, also sweet, but also more.

First to the base:
I have been wearing the fragrance for several hours now and just returned from a lovely winter walk. At home in the warmth, I am surrounded by a creamy peach vanilla. Sometimes it smells like powdery-dry vanilla sugar, sometimes like floral peach pieces. The floral notes somewhat dampen the fruity character of the peach. Yet it never smells cheap or trivial.

The fragrance does not have a significant development. Right after spraying, it smells much fruitier, reminiscent of freshly poured fruity sparkling wine. Sparkling and invigorating. I have never had a Bellini, but maybe it smells like this. Then I would like it. Still, I don't think it's a "food scent." I wouldn't say that the fragrance is gourmand. It's always difficult to find the right images.

Now I am considering how the bottle should look to match the content. In any case, the packaging shouldn't be so green. The green and the animals are misleading. I would have chosen more flowers in yellow, orange, and blue-violet tones. I would also have replaced the deer with another animal. Not so shy and also more elegant and proud. Yet not intrusive. Maybe a gazelle?

As a scent twin to Dolce Vita, Dulcis in Fundo is rightly mentioned, and it absolutely deserves that comparison. The often-mentioned cheesecake note is also present here, but this cheesecake is rather dry. You can still perceive incorporated fruit pieces, but the dry cake batter, which has a lot of vanilla sugar mixed in, dominates. Therefore, in my opinion, it is more sweet-powdery with a fruity orange touch. Anyone who enjoys the vanilla-orange combination should definitely treat themselves to a spritz of this. One spritz is more than enough for a long-lasting fragrance experience with decent sillage.

A scent that is irresistible, perfect for a cozy evening at home. Since the fragrance is not immediately recognizable as a perfume, but rather reminds one of the wonderful scent clouds from grandma's favorite cheesecake after a baking afternoon in the kitchen, I find it hard to imagine wearing it at work or for going out.

By the way, it reminds me more of Scent Bar 600, which seems more balanced to me than Dulcis in Fundo. I would be very interested to know if anyone can confirm this impression. Dulcis in Fundo has a piercing note that burns in the nose. But of course, everyone perceives that differently :)

I just wrote a statement about this fragrance and deleted it again, as I found it impossible to describe the scent accurately in just a few words. Since I really like the fragrance, it deserves to be presented in more detail.

The refreshing opening is made up of bergamot and mandarin, with the mandarin dominating. It smells citrusy-fruity, and the pepper adds a bit of spice that, in my opinion, persists throughout the entire fragrance journey.
After this loud greeting, the scent becomes a bit more subtle but remains easily perceivable. I mainly smell powdery violet, which is also fresh. The mentioned spice remains, perhaps the pepper hands over the baton to the ginger.
The base notes give the fragrance a creamy touch; I also detect something sweet, which I attribute to the tonka bean. Resinous hints join in, all harmonizing well together. The scent becomes a bit more intimate, leaving behind a slightly powdery-creamy residue.

I bought the fragrance during my Easter vacation in Fuerteventura and tried it out immediately at 30 degrees. The citrusy-fruity opening was refreshing and, with the pepper, also a bit cooling. However, I found the sillage to be somewhat intense and believe that the other notes come out better at moderate temperatures. Especially when the sun has set and one enjoys a balmy summer evening.

A versatile fragrance that reveals different facets depending on the temperature.
