What does L'Eau The One smell like?

It opens with peach, bergamot, mandarin orange and lychee, so fruit and citrus lead at first. In the heart, jasmine, Madonna lily, lily of the valley and plum give it a floral character. Vetiver, musk, vanilla and amber in the base sweeten it and pull it toward a soft, powdery, slightly oriental warmth.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans toward daytime, office and leisure wear. Most votes call it feminine. Dolce & Gabbana The One (Eau de Parfum) and The One Essence have a close profile.
