Dolce & Gabbana celebrates the timeless elegance of The One and The One for Men with a valuable collector's edition. The One is interpreted as deep Dolce & Gabbana red, while The One for Men is in a dark brown, rich and deep.

The two fragrances reflect those who wear them - the enigmatic woman, with a fiery temper and a luminous beauty, and the man whose sophisticated elegance inevitably attracts the attention - and emphasize the unique character of The One, emerging stronger in this Collector's Edition. The Collector's Edition is inspired by iconic symbols always dear to the designers. Each bottle bears a gold coin stamped, decorative central motif of the fashion collections 2014 signed Dolce & Gabbana. It is a journey to discover the ancient Sicily and the Greek culture that is at the roots of its history.

The solid and lacquered colors of the bottles summarize the characteristics of the fragrance. The red Dolce & Gabbana The One is a symbol of extreme luxury, the dark brown of The One for Men evokes a royal pomp, that enhances the refinement of this precious limited edition.

The Fragrance:
The One is the same as ever: its strength and peculiarities come to life by the contrast. The rich scent Orientale Fiorito (Eastern Flower) opens with a sparkling and modern interpretation of particularly fresh notes: a touch of citrus bergamot and mandarin combined with accents of juicy Peach and Lychee. In the heart blooms the intense, enveloping and female scent of white lilium. In the base notes the fragrance reveals the richness of Vanilla and Amber, combined with soft and persistent musky accents.

The One for Men is a blend of style and sensuality, declined to male. A classic and modern fragrance at the same time, its Orientale Speziato (Eastern Spicy) blends tobacco notes with refined spices. The sophisticated combination of grapefruit, coriander and basil opens in the top notes. The heart identifies the sensuality of the fragrance with warm notes of cardamom and ginger. The fund is intense and masculine, with notes of Amber, Tobacco and Cedarwood.
