The one mysterious night dolce & gabbana

D&G's The One Mysterious Night is well poised in the genre of middle eastern smelling fragrances in the marketplace. It's not rough, animalic, dense or overly sweet (because of the grapefruit). The grapefruit is probably the only resemblance to the rest of the flankers for D&G's "The One" and is in the base. The Oud is very light and just enough for some North American palates I imagine. Personally I like dense, animalic and sweet fragrances, and funny that I like this one too because it does remind me of the lighter Arabic fragrances. The stand-out in this fragrance is the rose and the saffron; and here's the "rub" (so to speak); the fragrance is really a North American interpretation of a middle eastern fragrance, but to noses that like middle eastern fragrances it doesn't deliver enough of the notes we enjoy; and thus confusion in some reviews. I have the One EDP, Royal Night, and now Mysterious Night, and I'm happy I picked up this flanker. Next it's the 2020 version of the One. I give Mysterious Night an 8 / 10, and truly this really is a great fragrance and I highly recommend!

The One Mysterious Night Cologne by Dolce & Gabbana, The one mysterious night is a bold and confident blend of floral and oud accords for men. Introduced by dolce & gabbana in 2018, this fragrance is intoxicating and captivating, wonderful for a special evening out. It opens with earthy saffron and tart grapefruit.

my interest in this fragrance, besides the allure of having something not just anybody could get (and also the cool bottle), was twofold: i wanted a nice oud rose, and i wanted a nice sensual date night fragrance. it only makes sense to choose this then, The One is one of the most beloved date night fragrance lines in the community, and Mysterious Night is also a very highly-rated designer oud rose scent. thankfully, it satisfied both criteria effortlessly, becoming my favorite winter night fragrance with ease.

Mysterious Night opens with its dominant notes, oud, amber and rose, topped with saffron and grapefruit. the touch of medicinal notes from oud and saffron and the little burst of citric freshness causes this perfume to smell, for a moment, like a very high-end baby wipe. floral fragrance, a bit sweet, a bit fresh, a bit powdery, and medicine-y. it's nice, frankly, and smells very cleanly. it only lasts for a bit however, before the real magic starts in the mid.

in the mid you are confronted by a beautiful and enveloping dense fog of amber and rose. the rose in this fragrance is sublime, a touch powdery but not in the grandma camp, bright and red and not green or vegetal, it's gorgeous. the amber in here is almost infinitely sweet and warm, sniffing it causes the smell to pass your olfactory system and warm your entire body. it is the pinnacle of comforting perfumery.

"but hey," you say, looking at this review weird as hell because i keep talking like i wanna marry this fragrance, "what about the oud?", and dear reader, lemme tell ya: the oud in here is, by all accounts, the most friendly, designer-y oud i've ever smelled, and that's a compliment of a high order. a tad medicinal, very warm with a little booziness, it's a star. it is the highlight of the fragrance. i don't think Mysterious Night will please the hardcore oud heads, but to anybody that has doubts about oud or has had trouble with ouds in the past, try this one. it is a movie star. it's beautiful from all angles. i don't think a single person on this planet could bring themselves to hate it unless they just hated woody notes in general. if you're completely new to oud, this is a great start. like a lot of ouds but want one that's wearable and won't terrify your next tinder date? bingo-bango, bucko, you found yourself a winner. think you hate ouds? unless you've smelled this you can't know you're right, and after you smell it you'll probably know you're wrong.

into the drydown, the oud and rose persists but underneath that beautiful, sensual amber note. now joined by the leathery nuances of labdanum, this is where the sexyness becomes more overt. it just smells unambiguously hot, with rich spicy woods and warm amber and sweet tonka and softly leatherlike labdanum. it just gets it right. this will make anyone, man, woman, or otherwise, smell fantastically alluring. not saying it'll make you instantly slimmer and give you a better jawline or anything but on the olfactory front, Mysterious Night has you fully covered. i'm not a promoter of the Fragrances Get You Laid ideology but, if they do and i'm just an ugly hag who never leaves my house, this will do it with ease.

Boring Review Stuff: Middle Eastern People Get All The Good Perfumes Edition
• Longevity and projection is terrific, which is another point for this line because the more widely available The Ones apparently last like ten minutes. i get 9-10 hours with this and it projects strongly for at least 4 hours.
• Pricing is complicated, it goes for radically different prices on different sites, usually in the 80s and 90s. i got my 100ml bottle from Fragrancebuy. it was $60 dollars and some change. it's a tester but it comes with the cap. that's the best price i've seen from a seller that ships to the states, so go that route if you don't mind having a less pretty box. this fragrance is by far worth that much imo.
• night time only. winter and colder fall nights only. this fragrance would turn into a cloying nightmare in any sort of direct sunlight. climate controlled environments would be good as well, just don't go too hard on the sprays, two will do just fine.
• Unisex, but like, not in the way where a guy ~could~ wear it ~maybe~. it's very middle eastern in that way, i think, that it actually just suits anyone without leaning to far in either direction. women shouldn't sleep on Mysterious Night at all if they want an alluring oud rose, because this fits the bill perfectly.

The Point Of All This is that Mysterious Night from the house of Dolce and Gabbana is like a sexy, expensive, luxurious baby wipe, and is both an incredibly friendly oud rose and an incredibly sexy The One flanker. anyone with any interest in either should get this, and anybody that just wants a nice cold-weather scent with a sensual comforting warmth should as well.

What does the one mysterious night smell like?

The top notes are a combination of sweet, fruity grapefruit and saffron for a bold, spiced kick. Clary sage, rose absolute and oud make up the heart notes for an earthy yet floral aroma. Tonka bean, amber, cistus labdanum and precious woods provide a musky warmth to complete the base of this cologne.

How long does Dolce and Gabbana The One Mysterious Night last?

Performance is beastly with strong projection and lasts 8+ hours on skin.

What does the only one by Dolce smell like?

The Only One is feminine, warm, slightly sweet, powdery and floral. Test it if you like violet and iris along with warm and sweet scents. It's a decent perfume for a cold evening. It's a 'going out' type of fragrance.

Is Dolce and Gabbana The one and the only one the same?

Dolce & Gabbana The Only One is noticeably different to The One because although it keeps the Vanilla note, and the Caramel note from The One Desire, it also has a strong coffee note. The new Coffee note is also accompanied by a slightly musky Iris and a pretty Orange Blossom and Rose.
