My Comments: The great thing about J'Adore is it is very very subtle. This is good of course, especially if you’re walking through a mall and the reps just start spraying you with this perfume.
No matter how much you use J’Adore, it is never stuffy or overpowering – it’s just right. So, the next time you walked through the mall, let them spray you – I promise… you’ll love it!
The One by Dolce and Gabbana
Description: The One is a warm, oriental floral, with modern sensuality - a fragrance with a strong personality, and a contrasting golden sweetness. Created for the ultimate diva, The One is at once tempting, modern, and glamorous, embracing a touch of classicism.
The top notes radiate a vibrant luminosity, with a sun-touched citrus, while warm fruity notes of luscious lychee and succulent peach add to the delight.
The passionate heart evokes an exploding femininity, with an opulent floral soul, creating a distinct, audacious signature. An unexpected hint of plum glows as the base finally blooms with luscious allure into the lasting warmth of vanilla and sweetened ambery-musk notes./filters:quality(70)/content/www/2009/01/dolcegabbanatheoneperfume1_254x231.jpg)

** My Comments:** The One by Dolce & Gabbana is a perfect signature fragrance. Since the love it/hate it classic Chanel No5, I haven’t found a scent that I rate more than this. Not your typical girly scent, this smells of elegance and sophistication – the perfect blend for us modern independent women.
