Only one of the candidates below has real backing as a match for D&G The One: Dossier Woody Coriander, pick 9. We could not confirm the others, and we have no German price comparison for any of them. Whichever version of The One you own, identify it first, then compare any bottle against the original on your skin before you think about price.
Here’s what this guide covers:
- Sources tie these to other perfumes, not to The One: Lattafa Ejaazi, Zara The Golden Decade and Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man.
- No confirmed bottle for these houses: Maison Alhambra, La Rive, Lattafa, Armaf and Zara plus one slot left unfilled.
- Four originals: The One for Men EDT, Men EDP, Gold for Men and women’s EDP.
- What we look at for each bottle: how the scent moves from opening to dry-down, how long it wears, how far it projects, whether it is sold in Germany and what it costs.
The result? Only Dossier Woody Coriander (pick 9) has sources behind it: the maker, Fragrantica reviewers and an independent review. We treat everything else as a list to investigate, not a buying shortlist. <u>A good first spray proves little.</u> Any claim about saving money needs a dated German price in euros, including VAT, for both bottles.

9. Dossier Woody Coriander
Dossier Woody Coriander fills this position: Dossier says it is “Inspired by Dolce & Gabbana’s The One”, and FragIndex calls it “a convincing interpretation”, so it earns this place. The next section sets the candidates against the four versions of The One.
Scent, Wear Time and Version Match
None of the candidates has verified data for scent similarity, wear time or availability in Germany. The table records verification status only - not confirmed matches.
| Candidate and match to verify | Verified data |
|---|---|
| Lattafa Ejaazi (tied to Sauvage, not The One) | — |
| Maison Alhambra (no The One bottle confirmed) | — |
| La Rive (no The One bottle confirmed) | — |
| Zara The Golden Decade (tied to YSL Libre Intense, not The One) | — |
| Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man (tied to Creed Aventus, not The One) | — |
| Additional Lattafa (no second The One bottle confirmed) | — |
| Additional Armaf (no The One bottle confirmed) | — |
| Additional Zara (no The One bottle confirmed) | — |
| Dossier Woody Coriander (confirmed) | Confirmed by two sources |
Before comparing scent or wear time, check the exact version. Use the full original name as your reference: these four versions have different scent profiles and key notes.
| D&G original | Scent profile | Key notes |
|---|---|---|
| The One for Men EDT | Woody Spicy | Ginger, Cardamom, Amber |
| The One for Men EDP | Woody Spicy | Amber, Tobacco, Ginger |
| The One Gold for Men | Aromatic Spicy | Clary Sage, Bergamot, Patchouli |
| The One women’s EDP | Floral Amber | Mandarin, Rose, Vanilla |
Compare EDP with EDP and EDT with EDT for a like-for-like wear-time comparison.
Pros, Cons and German Price Savings
Only one of the nine, Dossier Woody Coriander, is confirmed, and none has a sourced price, so no candidate has a confirmed price advantage. The table tracks verification status, not rankings: check the version match first, then the price.
Record only confirmed prices and dates.
| Candidate | Verification status | Action needed |
|---|---|---|
| Lattafa Ejaazi (tied to Sauvage) | — | — |
| Maison Alhambra (no bottle confirmed) | — | — |
| La Rive (no bottle confirmed) | — | — |
| Zara The Golden Decade (tied to YSL Libre Intense) | — | — |
| Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man (tied to Creed Aventus) | — | — |

| Additional Zara (none confirmed) | — | — |
| Dossier Woody Coriander | Confirmed by two sources | Check which The One version it targets |
Do not write down a saving until you have a VAT-inclusive German price in euros for each bottle, plus its size, the retailer and the date you checked. A listing with no date tells you nothing about today’s price.
Final Verdict: Which Alternative Fits Your The One?
Treat this page as a guide to matching versions, not a list of ready replacements. Only Dossier Woody Coriander has sources behind it and the other names are unconfirmed, so compare EDT with EDT, EDP with EDP, Gold with Gold and the women’s EDP with the women’s EDP. We found no bottle established as a match for all four versions.
Try the exact version on your skin before buying any bottle. Scento does not stock the original The One, but it does sell decants of the related The One Gold For Men, such as 2 ml at €9,90 or 5 ml at €16,90.
FAQs
Has D&G The One been discontinued?
No, Dolce & Gabbana The One has not been discontinued. It’s still in production, and The One for Men EDT, The One for Men EDP and The One Gold for Men remain available.
Has D&G The One been reformulated?
We found no official statement that Dolce & Gabbana has reformulated The One. Fragrance enthusiasts often discuss batch variations and formula adjustments, and designer fragrances commonly undergo subtle changes over time.
If you’re wondering how a current bottle compares with an older version, sample the current formulation directly. It’s the most reliable way to judge the scent.
How do The One versions differ?
Dolce & Gabbana’s The One versions vary in scent and intensity. The One for Men EDT is classic and aromatic, with a crisp feel. The EDP is warmer and deeper, with more pronounced spice and vanilla notes. The One Gold for Men takes a more modern, opulent direction.
Check which version you own before comparing any bottle, so you can match both the scent profile and the intensity.
