“"The One for Men" by Dolce & Gabbana has been a very successful fragrance, and for good reason - it smells phenomenal. Yet, in spite of the incredible smell, it unfortunately underperforms drastically in the longevity and sillage (projection) categories, making this a "do not recommend." Categorized as a Woody Spicy fragrance, "The One for Men" opens with with fresh citrus smell with a hint of basil, followed by the middle notes of ginger and cardamom. When it reaches the base notes, you finally get a sense of how great this masculine fragrance smells, as it has an incredible warm amber smell mixed with tobacco and a bit of cedar. However, this great masculine smell goes away all too quickly. For me, the fragrance only lasted about an hou...”
“I'm glad they named this one "The One for Men" so that way everyone will know who it's made for. It's the one for men. (It is clearly a masculine aroma.) This one is the most generic of the three--although I wouldn't say this is a fault, necessarily. It lacks distinction, smelling like the fragrance department at a Macy's. It's fine, but nothing exceptional. And while it's the most generic of the three, it's also the most obvious, so be careful when applying. It's a bit abrupt--suddenly hitting you in the nose and, like being socked in the face, the sensation lingers after the source of the smell goes away. I didn't really get the "top notes" or "heart notes" off of it, but I definitely notice that tobacco and cedar wood vibe, which would m...”
“Everyone has a soundtrack; everyone has a scent. I first had the chance to smell this two years ago and its scent and the wearer have lingered in my mind. I had never smelled it before and I have yet to smell it on anyone else. This is truly one of the sexiest and masculine colognes out there. It is a scent that evolves over time, sillage is great and it definitely makes a statement about the man who wears it. Dolce & Gabbana The One for Men, a fragrance dedicated to the Dolce & Gabbana man: charismatic and seductive, elegant and sophisticated. He loves taking care of himself—he is a bold, modern hedonist who never passes by unobserved. The One for Men was developed by preeminent perfumer Olivier Polge. His masterpiece is a sensual, spicy...”
“Before I get in to what my fiance had to say, can I just say that I felt a little ripped off with the D&G samples. I know they're free, but both these samples were only about half full. Kind of a bummer. Okay, with that out of the way, back to our regularly scheduled programming. When I first put this one on, my fiancee did not like it. Not one bit. But after a few moments, the aroma changed, as did her opinion. While she didn't like it as much as BOSS THE SCENT--she said it was "fine"--she didn't react negatively. She found it to be sweeter, a bit summery, and somewhat feminine. Good for going out on the town, work, but maybe not for a romantic occasion. I don't suspect she'd be bummed out if I started wearing it, but would probably not w...”
