Dolce and gabbana cologne eau de toilette

The One for Men by Dolce&Gabbana is a Woody Spicy fragrance for men. The One for Men was launched in 2008. The nose behind this fragrance is Olivier Polge. Top notes are Grapefruit, Coriander and Basil; middle notes are Ginger, Cardamom and Orange Blossom; base notes are Amber, Tobacco and Cedar.

After presenting more than successful fragrance for women, The One, Dolce&Gabbana house launched a fragrance for men named The One for Men at the begining of March 2008.

Creating this fragrance, Stefano Gabbana was following the idea of creating an uomo, a very masculine fragrance, and a very classic one, \"not a banal classic, but a classic men\'s fragrance that would last for years and be the type of scent that women adore\".

The notes of this fragrance are composed in accordance with the Gabbana creator\'s taste, who wanted to create a woody-oriental composition. In line with that Gabbana said:"I like spicy-oriental notes and we\'ve never done these types of fragrances, it\'s a little warmer than our other men's scents".

Fragrance The One for Men opens with sparkling notes of bergamot, coriander and basil, the middle motes bring in cardamom, ginger and neroli, while the base notes create a very masculine trace of cedar, ambergris and tobacco.

The fragrance is created in cooperation with P&G Prestige Product and International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (IFF). It comes in a glass made bottle that matches the shape of The One for Women bottle, only with silver-metal neck and chocolate-brown rectangular top.

The model of the fragrance advertising campaign will be the actor Matthew McConaughey, who will next week join the designers in the NYC. When it comes to the choice of the model, the Dolce&Gabbana designers said that they wanted to have the sexiest man on the planet. And with regards to that, Gabbana adds that this is the first time that a model in one of D&G men\'s fragrance campaigns appears in clothes.

The One for Men will be available in the US as EDT in two sizes – 50ml and 100ml bottles. Besides EDT the collection will include 100ml aftershave lotion, 75ml aftershave balm, 200ml shower gel and 75ml deodorant stick.

D&G K EDT opens with a soft projection of citrus, spicy and woody accords. The opening is fresh, it feels common, diluted, slightly sweet, sporty, and pleasant. The citruses are a significant part of the opening notes, their combination comes across as just citruses, slightly sweet, not too sour, but without accent to any of the specific citrus notes included in the fragrance. The juniper berry is also a noticeable opening note, fresh, woody, piney, green, resinous. The pimento is the spicy note, and it is very noticeable, hot, and piquant with a peppery touch. As the fragrance commences to dry-down, the sharpness of the citrus notes starts to dissipate, simultaneously, the clary sage starts developing creating a new projection and intensity but without adding itself as a note; the cedar and vetiver join to add a fresh woody and green touch. The fragrance has a few but noticeable opening to dry-down changes, the opening is soft and the citrus notes are prominent, but just for a moment, as the dissipate, the spicy, green, and woody notes enter the blend creating a new fresh, sharp and improved projection. The dry-down is much better than the opening. Once D&G K Men EDT has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a moderate projection, juniper berry, pimento, vetiver, and cedar fragrance with spicy and citrus accords. The fragrance feels casual, fresh, gentle, green, grassy, masculine, modern, piquant, playful, resinous, refreshing, sharp, short-lived, woody, and pleasant.
