Review of The Only One Eau de Parfum Intense by Sarah Chabal

Sweet, warm, floral, bright, fresh, citrusy, creamy, woody, luminous, feminine, sensual, seductive, sexy, chic, elegant, classy, charming, whimsical, dreamy, enchanting, radiant, vibrant, delightful, addictive, alluring, inviting, cozy, comforting, Luxurious On me this opens beautifully with sweet, fresh, and green neroli, fresh and tart green apple, and radiant and citrusy mandarin. As it starts drying down the lush jasmine, sweet and citrusy orange blossom, and creamy coconut become intertwined with the bright top notes. Once it’s dried down it truly shines as the sensual vanilla, cozy cashmere woods, and woody cedar become prominent. The notes that are the most prominent on me are the mandarin orange, green apple, orange blossom, vanilla, and cashmere wood. This is an absolutely gorgeous fragrance! It’s definitely full bottle worthy, and would even make a lovely signature scent! When I read the notes for this I was a little nervous about how the green apple and coconut notes would work in this. Surprisingly they fit perfectly. The green apple adds a fresh and bright scent without overpowering the other notes. The coconut just adds a creaminess instead of bringing anything tropical to the scent. I do get a slight lovely, warm, and delicious cinnamon-y apple pie kind of scent in the background that I catch occasional whiffs of before it dries down when the base notes become more prominent. I think that’s coming from the combination of the green apple and vanilla, but it doesn’t define the scent, rather it stays more subtle in the background. I also really enjoy several other D&G fragrances, so for reference those and some other favorites of mine include The One, The One Desire, Pour Femme Intense, Devotion, Devotion Intense, Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Kayali The Wedding Silk Santal, Kayali Vanilla 28, Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato, PDM Oriana, Kilian LDBS, Celeste, Bianco Latte, The Maker Dream, Fugazzi Vanilla Haze, Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, Guerlain Mon Guerlain, LoveShackFancy Secret Crush, Vanilla Twirl, Summer Fridays Sunlit Vanilla, Skylar True Love’s Cake, Brown Girl Jane Halo Barbie, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallow, Queen’s Caramel, Vanilla Salt, Phlur Honey Moon, Heavy Cream, Vanilla Nectar, SDJ Summer é Amor, SDJ 39, SDJ 62, 71, 91, VS Vanilla Lace
