The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013, The One Desire by Dolce&Gabbana is a sophisticated Oriental Floral fragrance that marries the sweetness of caramel and vanilla with the complexity of tuberose and white florals. Givaudan's composition opens with bright citrus notes from litchi and mandarin orange, leading into a heart of lily-of-the-valley and tuberose that adds an unexpected depth to its sugary top. The base of amber and sandalwood rounds out the scent with a warm, powdery finish that feels both intimate and luxurious.
One or two sprays are sufficient — the caramel and vanilla top notes are prominent but fade into a lasting powdery base after about an hour. Best for nighttime wear when you want something warm and enveloping close to your skin.
