Dolce & Gabbana The Only One 2: Identity and History

Immerse yourself in the world of sensual temptation with Dolce & Gabbana The Only One 2, a perfume that declares its exclusivity from the first glance—or better said, from the first breath.

Released in 2019, this fragrance has become a vibrant continuation of the cult line The One, embodying the passion and elegance so characteristic of the Italian fashion house.

Founded in 1985 by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, the brand has long established itself as a symbol of luxury and sensuality, and The Only One 2 fits perfectly into this heritage, offering a modern interpretation of femininity.

As a perfume water, The Only One 2 has a rich formula that promises long wear and intense development on the skin.

Its belonging to the Fruity, Floral, Oriental, and Gourmand families makes it multifaceted and attractive for those seeking a fragrance with character—an ideal choice for evening outings or special moments when you want to emphasize your individuality.

Positioning and Wearability

Created specifically for women, The Only One 2 radiates confidence and charm, making it an ideal companion for the fairer sex aged 18 to 50.

Its medium sillage ensures unobtrusive yet noticeable presence—you won't go unnoticed, but you also won't overdo the intensity.

For optimal effect, it is recommended to apply 1 to 2 sprays on the skin so that the fragrance gently develops with body heat, and 2 to 3 sprays on clothing for a more lasting sound throughout the day or evening.

This perfume looks especially advantageous in the cooler seasons—in autumn and winter, its oriental and gourmand chords create a cozy aura, and in the evening setting, it adds a note of mystery and luxury.

Thanks to the balanced composition, The Only One 2 easily adapts to different scenarios, whether it's a romantic date, a business dinner, or a night out—it will always sound appropriate and complimentary.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Dolce & Gabbana The Only One 2 is a true journey through layers of sensation, starting with a playful opening and ending with a deep, captivating base.

In the top notes, you are greeted by an explosion of freshness and sweetness: freesia adds floral tenderness, while pear and blackberry provide juicy fruitiness, and pink pepper (red berries) introduces a spicy spark, creating a dynamic and attractive introduction.

In the heart of the fragrance, a warmer and more complex palette unfolds: coffee adds gourmet depth and velvetiness, harmoniously intertwining with the tenderness of rose and the melancholic elegance of violet.

This middle layer adds richness and emotion to the fragrance, making it more intimate and mysterious.

The base of The Only One 2 is a foundation of luxurious and long-lasting chords: amber and ambergris create a warm, enveloping trail, while patchouli and tonka beans add woody earthiness and sweet spiciness.

Together, these notes ensure a long-lasting resonance, leaving behind a trail of confidence and seduction that will be remembered for a long time.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

The scent is sharp and too intrusive. Gourmand notes are definitely here, but they weigh down like a heavy burden. Coffee notes with powdery and floral-berry ones - it's something, but not in a good way. Sweetness, yes, but it irritates rather than pleases. The bottle, of course, looks impressive, the burgundy color attracts attention. But the longevity - yes, it's not bad, but the scent stays too close to the skin, as if it doesn't want to leave. Not impressed, overall

The scent is really interesting. In my opinion, 'Dvoika' (The Duo) surpassed its predecessor: there's less coffee, and the berries smell very pleasant, the sillage is also pleasing, especially in the cold! I wouldn't say it's a must-have, but there's no disappointment either 😊

coffee with spices, patchouli and rose. the scent is really long-lasting and leaves a trail. but, unfortunately, it's just as monotonous as the first version
5/5

The name, of course, brings a smile. But the scent itself is truly impressive. It's something like a gourmand, but it still smells very harmonious, without excessive sweetness. Berries with a light powdery note and floral accents, a little patchouli and vanilla. Very beautiful and attractive

For a scent to become a part of a person, you need to go through some moments together. Only then does it begin to acquire meaning, weaving into our lives. Without that, it remains just a smell, evoking no emotions

Coffee, if present, is in a very small amount. The main notes here are vanilla powder with berries and woody accents. The perfume turns out quite dense and rich, smelling bright and expressive

first, curiosity arose. then I tried it and… disappointment. the scent seemed too weak and unexpressive to me. it doesn't last long on the skin. so, it's not for me. but oh well, it happens

Looks like this version also has coffee and powdery notes, just like the first one. But here, rose and a bit of a berry scent were added 🌹

A fragrance where berry notes intertwine with rich coffee creates an amazing sensation. Powdery and vanilla accents add softness, making it truly cozy. This gourmand scent warms beautifully and awakens the desire to explore new facets of perception

What an amazing fragrance! It combines powdery and coffee notes, as well as white flowers with berry accents and a woody base. In cold weather, it's simply indispensable - so soft and warming that it envelops you with its warmth. A true delight! ☕️

The fragrance resembles the previous The Only One, but with interesting nuances. It's not as dry as its predecessor; on the contrary, it's bright and rich. Fruity and berry notes give it juiciness, making it more appealing. Patchouli adds depth, while tonka beans and woody accords create softness. Overall, it's an interesting flanker worth trying 🌟

This fragrance clearly stands out with its brightness and richness! The combination of berries with coffee, coumarin, and gourmand notes doesn't seem clichéd; on the contrary, it brings freshness and originality. A true explosion of emotions!!

This fragrance immediately catches the eye; it's a bright berry-floral composition. First, you notice the sweetness of pear, then the tartness of blackberry, which, in my opinion, sets the overall mood. Gradually, green notes of freesia and powdery violet join the berries. In the base, rose begins to dominate, but the blackberry tartness still lingers in the background. Coffee notes appear only at the very end and are barely noticeable. If you don't expect a pronounced coffee note and gourmand nuances from the fragrance, then it's quite good and beautiful. Very feminine and cheerful. The longevity and sillage are impressive. Personally, it reminds me of another "Italian" with blackberry - Signorina Misteriosa by Salvatore Ferragamo 🍇
5/5

The fragrance opens with bright fruity notes, where red berries and pear combine beautifully with freesia, which I really love. It creates an atmosphere of confidence and self-sufficiency. The coffee note gives the rose an interesting character, and even though I'm not a fan of roses, it really impresses me here! In the base, the fragrance envelops you in warmth, sounding simply magnificent. It's rich, sweetish, almost on the verge of cloying. Very expressive, a little elaborate, but despite that, it has become one of my favorites. The longevity is simply amazing, the sillage is wide and noticeable. My husband also liked the scent, and I myself fell in love with it, so I plan to buy a bottle! This is definitely an autumn-winter option, more for the evening. I recommend it to those who appreciate fragrances in the vein of Black Opium, La Vie Est Belle, Black XS, and similar ones
5/5

I liked the first version of the fragrance, but the second one, with the number 2, turned out to be even more appealing when I tested it. They are similar in some ways, of course, but overall the second version stands out. The first one is more reminiscent of coffee, and the second - of berries. It's quite heavy, sweet, but in moderation, gourmand. Strangely, after several months, when I was thinking about buying it, I tried it again and it didn't impress me at all. Still, I'm giving it five stars because I consider it high-quality and worthy
