The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

The One Grey by Dolce&Gabbana was launched in 2018 and crafted by perfumer Jean-Christophe Hérault. This composition opens with a vibrant citrus-aromatic blend featuring grapefruit and basil, which gives way to a heart of cardamom, coriander, and lavender. The base notes of vetiver, tobacco, patchouli, and labdanum create an earthy warmth that contrasts beautifully against the freshness of the top notes. This fragrance is designed for the modern man who embodies both strength and subtlety.

How to wear it

Apply The One Grey with two sprays for optimal wear. The citrus and aromatic top notes will fade within an hour or so, allowing the warm base to emerge gradually. This fragrance reads better close to skin rather than in a wide sillage, making it perfect for both daytime and evening settings.
