Dolce & Gabbana's The Only One 2 is a 2019 reformulation of the original fragrance, arriving as an EDP with a more pronounced sweetness and depth than its predecessor.

The fragrance opens with blackberry, freesia, pear, and red berries that establish a fruity, floral top before settling into a heart of coffee and violet. This combination creates an interesting push-pull between aromatic coffee bitterness and delicate florals. The base layers in ambergris, amberwood, patchouli, and tonka bean, building out the gourmand and amber accords that define the scent's overall character. It reads as a floral-oriental hybrid with genuine sweetness from the tonka, balanced by earthy patchouli and the soft animalic quality of ambergris.

This works best for someone seeking a romantic, slightly gourmand floral that doesn't veer into full dessert fragrance territory. It has enough coffee and patchouli grounding to wear year-round, though it feels particularly suited to cooler months and evening wear. If you lean toward fragrances with depth and a touch of sophistication alongside their sweetness, this delivers. Fans of The Romantic, The Homesteader, and The Reverie profiles should find it compelling.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Blackberry
Blackberry
Dark, juicy, and slightly tart with an earthy undertone that distinguishes it from lighter berries. Blackberry has a bittersweet depth that makes it more interesting than raspberry or strawberry in complex compositions. It adds a dark, jammy quality to rose-forward fragrances and woody orientals.
Freesia
Freesia
Bright, clean, and slightly peppery, freesia is a springtime flower with a fresh, almost citrusy edge that prevents it from reading as purely sweet. It's one of the more versatile florals, sitting comfortably in both delicate feminine compositions and fresh unisex fragrances. Approachable and elegant simultaneously.
Pear
Pear
Gentle, watery, and slightly floral, pear is one of fragrance's most delicate fruit notes, with a clean sweetness that is closer to flowers than to heavy tropical fruits. It adds a soft, luminous freshness to compositions and pairs naturally with rose, iris, and light musks. Often the note that makes a fragrance feel effortlessly elegant.
Red Berries
Red Berries
A mixed accord of red fruits including raspberry, strawberry, and red currant, producing a bright, sweet, and slightly tart freshness. Red berries read as summery and cheerful, adding an accessible, crowd-pleasing sweetness to florals and orientals. One of the most broadly appealing fruity notes in mainstream perfumery.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Coffee
Coffee
Bitter, roasty, and slightly smoky with a warm, stimulating energy, coffee in perfumery reads as sophisticated rather than caffeinated. It adds depth to oriental and woody fragrances, and its slight bitterness stops adjacent sweet notes from becoming cloying. A note that perfumers love for its ability to make everything smell more complex.
Violet
Violet
Sweet, powdery, and faintly green, violet sits between floral and earthy in a way that feels distinctly old-world glamorous. The leaf and the flower smell quite different: the flower is sugary and delicate, while violet leaf is fresh and slightly vegetal. Together they create a note that feels both nostalgic and current.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Ambergris
Ambergris
One of perfumery's most storied materials, a waxy substance produced by sperm whales with a uniquely salty, sweet, earthy quality. Real ambergris is nearly unobtainable; most perfumers use synthetic alternatives. It adds a marine warmth and incredible fixative quality, making fragrances smell more 'alive' and skin-like.
Amberwood
Amberwood
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
Tonka Bean
Tonka Bean
Sweet, powdery, and almond-like with hay-like, slightly tobacco undertones, tonka bean is one of perfumery's most useful base notes. It shares coumarin with fresh hay and freshly cut grass, adding a warmth that feels nostalgic and comforting. Essential in gourmand and soft oriental fragrances.
