What wearers say
“I haven't tried The One EDP so I can't comment on similarity but Ovation smells really good, it reminds me of La Nuit from YSL. The longevity is so and so at around 5-6 hours with low to moderate projection. I would have bought a full bottle (I have the 10 ml) if it was slightly better in longevity and performance, but at this point I already own La Nuit and it's cheaper and longer lasting than Ovation so I rate this a like not a love. But it still smells fantastic.”
“This is one of the few Alexandria Fragrances that I wouldn't recommend. It definitely smells similar to The One, but can't say I remember the original well enough to say it's an exact match. It smells good, but it's got about the same projection and longevity as the original. So what's the point?”
“D&G The One is one of my all time favorite scents. Ovation is a great alternative to The One but unlike the abysmal performance of The One, Ovation actually performs amazingly! Scent wise it’s extremely close to the OG as well. Great fragrance!”
