Dolce & Gabbana · 2010

Fresh · Sweet · Gourmand

Eau de Toilette

Dolce & Gabbana The One Gentleman Eau de Toilette is a clearly masculine fragrance that opens fresh and settles into a sweet, spicy, powdery woody-oriental style; it has been discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, with summer well behind. Evening, business, leisure and daily wear get almost equal votes, so it isn't tied to one setting. Most voters read it as masculine and modern. The top is grapefruit and pepper, bringing coolness with a slight bite. Fennel, cardamom and lavender in the heart make a spicy, aromatic transition. Vanilla and patchouli at the base sweeten it into a gourmand, powdery softness. Zara For Him and Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle Le Parfum have a close profile.
