What does The One (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen most for evenings and nights out, though it also gets votes for daytime and office wear. It reads feminine, sitting between modern and classic.
Bergamot, mandarin orange, peach and lychee give a bright, fruity start. In the heart, Madonna lily, jasmine and lily of the valley form a floral bouquet. The base of vanilla, amber and musk settles creamy, gourmand and oriental, with vetiver and plum alongside that sweetness.
