What wearers say
“I find this to be very similar to the original The One, but definitely a sexier version. I think it’s very feminine and floral, but deeper and warmer than The One, so it’s excellent for the colder months of fall and winter. It has a lovely warm and subtle sweetness to it. It’s romantic and seductive, but in an elegant way.I typically get great longevity with my fragrances, and The One Desire is no exception… it lasts the entire day. The projection is nice too, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me.”
“It's very sweety and sexy fragrance. I think it's similar to the classic The One, but only partially. The base notes are similar. The Desire - it is litchy covered by caramel. Delicious! The scent is unforgettable! I like it or even love it. Longevity and sillage is excellent, twenty four hours even on the skin. Worthy fragrance in gorgeous bottle. How they could discontinue this masterpiece!”
“I disliked the original due to an odd (to my nose) rose/litchi contradiction. I wasn't feeling it, I thought I disliked the litchi note, which made me sad since I LOVE to eat litchi fruits!! Used to get them in CA! :DBut this one... mmm! Real juicy litchi opening, so delicious! Made my mouth water and flung a cravin on me somethin fierce! (Sorry, my southern is showing.) Anyway it dries down to something that reminds me a LOT of HANAE MORI original. Smells like strawberry to me! Still sweet but not so much my thing. Will keep my sample for that opening!”
