Best Dolce & Gabbana Fragrances for Men

What are the Best D&G Colognes?

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana founded their Italian luxury brand Dolce&Gabbana (D&G). They are very famous in the fashion world for their clothing, eyewear, accessories etc.

Along with their other stuff, their perfume sector is also rich. They have more than 90 colognes on their list. I sorted out the best for you guys and chose the top 9, which are worth buying.

So, here are the best smelling D&G colognes for men:

The One for Men EDP

Top notes: Grapefruit, Coriander, Basil.
Middle notes: Ginger, Cardamom, Orange Blossom.
Base notes: Amber, Tobacco, Cedar.

Masterpiece! This one word is enough to define this cologne. The problem with The one EDT version was its longevity. They solved that issue and created a more intense version of The One EDP. The Whisky note is missing here; it’s disappointing.

The One for Men EDP is a woody, spicy cologne. It was released in 2015. The nose behind this cologne is Olivier Polge. The bottle design and color both are fantastic. The shade of color used in the bottle is just marvelous.

Anyway, the opening of this cologne is fantastic. Grapefruit, Coriander, and basil give you a fruity, spicy vibe in the beginning.

After some time, Orange blossom mixed with ginger and cardamom makes the whole aroma remarkable. It smells like a spicy punch.

Significantly, The dry down is fantastic. It’s a mixture of woods and tobacco. You’ll love the dry down for sure.

IDK, What I should say about its performance, it varies from person to person. On my skin, it lasted for 4-5 hours. But some of my co-workers got around 9hrs of longevity from this.

The scent is gorgeous. I just wish it could perform better.
