I just picked up The Only One Intense. I had it sprayed on a test strip that was sitting in my car and I could not stop sniffing it everytime I was driving. The scent stayed strong on the paper for days. This scent is addicting! Love your videos❤️
I have both and agree they are quite different from one another. I love both!!! I have gotten a lot of compliments wearing The Only One. I just purchased the Intense so haven't yet worn it out of the house, but I really enjoyed it when I wore it around the house. There is something about it that gives me slight Alien vibes, it might be the jasmine and woods as my skin really seems to amplify both of those notes.
I am waiting for the only one intense to go on sale at my drugstore and then I will have both as well!! I think about the intense one a lot! I think it would actually make a great summer sexy evening scent!
Don't know why but I can't imagine wanting to smell like a coconut! But rum boozy drinks are good. Guess I would have to try them. So without testing would guess the original would be for me. Rather smell like a caramel than a coconut - at least for now, but lots of ladies like the intense. Great review. You cheer me up!
After wearing the intense way more- although the opening is boozy coconut to me it drys down to a creamy, sweet woody fragrance with a touch of coconut. I definitely recommend sniffing them both first! I think they have them at Sephora or department stores 😀
I love them both. And you're absolutely right, they're so different. Wear the OG to work, am in Healthcare and it works perfectly. Not too sweet, not too strong, just super cozy, gets me tonnes of compliments. I've only had the intense version a couple of days, was kinda wowed by it. Can't wait to wear it out to the movies or dinner, it's sexy like that. Enjoying them both for totally different reasons/occasions 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I am the suscriber number 600👏🏼 i tried the Intense some days ago and finally i bought it because all of these days i was thinking in that perfume♥️ i see you from Spain 😊
In my quest for a coffee gourmand I did try the TOO which I thought was nice but something about the florals in it didn't quite sit right with me and I didn't care much for TOO2 either so I was going to give the TOO intense a miss.. until I saw your video and saw that it had a coconut note in it. Tried it in store today and it's phenomenal! It does remind me of Dolce garden but richer, deeper and sexier. It's a beauty and will be mine soon!
The Only One Intense was a love at first sniff for me - I instantly purchased the 100ml after smelling it! There is something rather magical about it 🥰 I'm so tempted to get The Only One as I really love the dry-down of that one (think I many prefer it to the intense) but I'm not as keen on it as an actual scent initially. They are both beautiful though, did you buy a full bottle of the Intense? 💜
I DID buy a full bottle of the intense and love it! I don't have a full bottle of The only one though. I don't love it enough. Only one intense will always be in my collection - I love it that much!
@@mariacollettlife it is incredible isn't it? 🖤 I'm still debating The Only One, I'm just not sure if it is full bottle worthy unless I get it for a steal! 😄
Well this answers my questions very well! Thank you. Hadn't been in a store for so long, wanted the intense but they only had a travel spray of the only one. Not knowing what it was, I was a bit wowed. I love how the bright, clean fruit smell holds on for so long, then w/ the caramel etc. Keep sniffing my own arm. Hehe Seems I might need both!
I am catching up watching your older videos. Not sure if you do makeup ones( I hope you do ! ). Your lipstick color is divine. May I ask the name if you remember? Also, your skin is gorgeous. So happy I came across a silver haired sister. 🥰
Hi, I bought The Only One Intense as a Christmas gift to myself. I got it at a great price on fragrancex & I really enjoy it. I have yet to try the original version. You took the words out of my mouth, warm & comforting, it does something to me! So good. We have alot in common, I to enjoy all things beauty & am a fragrance lover & collector with an Amazing Son too ☺ now subscribed to your channel 💞
The Only One is all about the violet to me, but not in the deep drydown, then it becomes a little weird, The Intense starts like creamy Alien with a little bit of coconut, after about 2 hours, no more Alien, more vanilla.
thank you so much. I also got the tester of the only one intense and loved it and now I know to make sure to not buy the cheaper normal version. I do not usually like perfumes in black bottles, there is usually something disturbing in the mix, but this was just perfect
Nicole Cardinale oh no!! I’m so sorry to hear that!! That just sucks. I’ve had that happen too where one person loves it, I buy it and don’t!! Hope you are able to sell it soon 😊
Have you tried Dolce Garden? The coconut in that one is so overwhelming that it makes me nauseous, so I’m worried about how the coconut in the Intense will do on my skin. But the way you described it makes me want to go buy it now!!
Maria Collett oh no, thank you for letting me know!!! I love coconut but for some reason it doesn’t work with my skin :( I’ll make sure to sample before I buy, thank you so much!
Dolce Garden make me nauseous as well but I love The Only One Intense. I do find the coconut note is strong in THe Only One Intense especially at first but it dries down beautifully. I never got that from Dolce Garden. I would definitely recommend trying it or ordering a decant. Have you tried Versace Crystal Noir? I find the y have similarities.
Dolce Garden makes me nauseous as well and I LOVE The Only One Intense. So I think it’s coconut mixed with yellow florals that I didn’t like in garden. The only one intense does give me crystal noir vibes but with a creamy coconut note and it’s the first fragrance I know I will buy a backup bottle for.
Ohh I want to blind buy The only One 😊 I know exactly what LEAVES smells like ,I adore that smell I love caramel and I love coconut ! So I think either would work for me Love and hugs Frances 🥰🥰🥰
Maria Collett so I went and checked out LISA’s pop up shop in Toronto had in stock ? And I ended up ordering The only one and 2 others LOL They have the most incredible deals and I can’t wait to get them and do an unboxing video
I’ve not noticed those particular vibes but I will sniff them again and see if I notice any similarities....I just think it’s so cool the way our nose perceives/picks up things differently...it’s so fun to hear other people’s interpretation of a particular perfume!!
@@mariacollettlife I got dolce Garden a week ago for now .. But im still deciding in which one to get that's why I watched ur video. I'm gona go for DG intense one..next:)
Do you mean Versace Crystal Noir? If so, no. I have all three and they all smell different. The only one is more coffee caramel, only one intense is boozy coconut woodsy and crystal noir is has a bit of that coconut but it’s a cooler scent somehow and a bit less sweet and more peppery
I don't find that it stands out overly. That said, everybody picks up different things...for me the orange blossom and the fruitiness with caramel comes out more than the coffee...in the end though, I now prefer the only one over the intense!!
I definately get the coconut but it's balanced with the jasmine for me. The coconut doesn't stay forever though...more in the opening...Honestly, it becomes a sweet woody floral in the end.
I went to try these two today. I wanted the intense but the lady grabbed the other because the boxes are both black. I got home and sprayed myself before I realised I got the original not the intense and it was too late. So annoyed.
oh no!!! can you take it back being it was their mistake? you never know.... I am really loving the original these days...I still love the opening of the intense but am not as crazy about the dry down...it goes pretty woody on me. 😀
@@mariacollettlife yeah I tried and the manager said it was too late because it was opened. So I emailed the company to complain. It's a large pharmacy company in Australia. Like a Walgreens. I want them to send me the other bottle.
@@mariacollettlife the franchise owner called me today and said I can bring it back and swap for the Intense. I am glad I filled a complaint because I think I will be happier in the long term.
@@mariacollettlife thank you so much i will buy this for my mum for christmas, she loves very sweet warm perfumes she loves vanilla coconut and caramel so it was hard to decide :)). Have a nice evening!
Have you tried either of these perfumes? What do you think?
Yes I have used "The Only One, The Only One 2 & The Only One Intense". I love the Intense way better than the first 2. Love Love love !!!
I tried the Only One, the Only One 2, the Only One Intense. The Only One is the best~~
I just picked up The Only One Intense. I had it sprayed on a test strip that was sitting in my car and I could not stop sniffing it everytime I was driving. The scent stayed strong on the paper for days. This scent is addicting! Love your videos❤️
Now that I have both in large bottles, I can definitely say that the only one intense is my favorite!! 😀
I have both and agree they are quite different from one another. I love both!!! I have gotten a lot of compliments wearing The Only One.

You hit the nail on the head. Intense is so good I got it for myself.
I’m glad you agree! I think it’s amazing.
This really helped me decide and I think I will be getting both of them. Enjoyed the video 🥰
I’m glad it was helpful! Now I’m really excited as to which you will like best! I hope you do a video on it 😁
Hahaha. Both. Your comment made me happy
the only one intense version smells absolutely DIVINE i just can't stop sniffing my wrist after i spray it 😂
I put it on tonight and sniffed myself all evening!! 😜. I’m getting a full bottle of this one.

The intense is very beautiful!!!
What a lovely elegant review, I too am not a fan of the DKNY so I was glad you said the apple was different in the intense, thank you👌
I’m glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching 😀
I love The Only One. I didn’t care for the intense. My bestie on the other hand says The Only one is ok and she love the intense.
It seems like everyone has a favorite of the two!! 😀
I am the suscriber number 600👏🏼 i tried the Intense some days ago and finally i bought it because all of these days i was thinking in that perfume♥️ i see you from Spain 😊
Well first, thank you for being my 600th subscriber! I LOVE the intense!! How are you enjoying it so far?
The Only One Intense is beautiful, I just love it.
Same here. Since recording this video my favorite has definitely become the intense!! 😀
The intense is in my top 5. I have repurchased it twice. ♥️
It’s for sure my favorite!💕

Let me know if you do get the intense. I wanna know which you like best or if you like them equally!
I have both and love both 😍 they're quite different from each other so can justify getting both ❤️🙏🏾😅
I wholeheartedly agree!!
Just here looking for reviews on the intense version, but I love your makeup!
Oh thanks! Intense is just plain delicious IF you like coconut. The apple and coconut make such a fantastic, boozy mix! Very gourmand in my opinion.
I am catching up watching your older videos. Not sure if you do makeup ones( I hope you do ! ). Your lipstick color is divine. May I ask the name if you remember? Also, your skin is gorgeous. So happy I came across a silver haired sister. 🥰
I will go look and see if I can remember the combo 😀. I used to do makeup videos when my hair was dark but nobody watched them!! 😀

Yes, it's not too dark, just rich!
@@mariacollettlife And thanks to your review, I now have the big size of it :)
You sold me on the intense. I never liked caramel smells but love rum-like smells! About to blind buy, wish me luck 🤞
Oooooo, I’m excited for you and a bit nervous. I sure hope you love it as much as I do! Let me know what you think!
Did you end up getting the intense? If so, did you like it?
@@mariacollettlife i did and its really bad on me :( i only smell green apple and it lasts maybe 2 hours on my skin. I'm trying to sell the bottle lol
Nicole Cardinale oh no!! I’m so sorry to hear that!! That just sucks. I’ve had that happen too where one person loves it, I buy it and don’t!! Hope you are able to sell it soon 😊
Your make up looks amazing!
Have you tried Dolce Garden? The coconut in that one is so overwhelming that it makes me nauseous, so I’m worried about how the coconut in the Intense will do on my skin. But the way you described it makes me want to go buy it now!!
I have tried Dolce Garden. That one is lighter and less coconut than intense. Intense is stronger and sweeter...maybe better sniff before you buy. 😊
Maria Collett oh no, thank you for letting me know!!! I love coconut but for some reason it doesn’t work with my skin :( I’ll make sure to sample before I buy, thank you so much!
I have dolce garden and it gave me a headache unfortunately...the only one intense didn't though 👍🏽

Reminds me so much of alien. Love the intense
I don't care for The Only One. I think The Only One Intense would be better for me. TFS💕
I DEFINITELY like intense better. The only one is ok- Intense is pretty much the best release of 2020!!
Both are amazing and are up on my top ten list !!!!
Glad you like them!! They are pretty darn awesome!
You’re very lovely 😍 I love your channel too .. I guess I need the intense one too .. what about the longevity ?? Is it really intense ??
It’s about the same or a little better than the only one...I get about 6 hours...
Hi Maria! I’m new to this channel. Planning to buy one of these perfume and search engine brought me here.
Awesome!! Which one are you leaning towards?
Oh my God you're so so gorgeous 🥰I really enjoyed the video and for sure I will take the intence one😁👌😘
You will love it!!!! Thanks for watching!
Ohh I want to blind buy The only One 😊 I know exactly what LEAVES smells like ,I adore that smell I love caramel and I love coconut ! So I think either would work for me

Let me know if you decide to get one!
Maria Collett so I went and checked out LISA’s pop up shop in Toronto had in stock ? And I ended up ordering The only one and 2 others LOL They have the most incredible deals and I can’t wait to get them and do an unboxing video
HappinessSparkles !! Ya their deals are crazy good!
Woo HOO !! This is the video I want to watch !!
Now I need the intense 😂😂😂 I love boozy spicy scents
I basically just wanted to shove that tester right up my nostril!!! I'm pretty sure that my nostrils are actually a gateway to another dimension :)
I love them both they are different. I enjoy both. I also enjoy your reviews👌
Glad you love both and do happy you enjoy the content!
I love the Only One, especially when paired eith with Al Rehab French Coffee 😍
Oh, that would be fantastic!
I just got DG intense today- I love it!!!! I’m getting a red buying licorice vibe and also JPG Essence de Parfum vibes. Do you get those vibes? Agree?
I’ve not noticed those particular vibes but I will sniff them again and see if I notice any similarities....I just think it’s so cool the way our nose perceives/picks up things differently...it’s so fun to hear other people’s interpretation of a particular perfume!!
I'm addicted it's gorgeous I feel the same about it rum..yum!!!
Thanks for sharing your video take care ❤
I thought I subscribed and i wasnt..sorry. i am now. Anyway this was helpful on choosing which one. I've been eyeing this for awhile. Thx!;)
Thanks so much for subscribing!! Which one did you decide on?

hello, from Thailand thank you for you review
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching 💕😀
The only one smells like Black Opium to me, sweet coffee
Yes, I think they are similar as well. 😀
No…the Only One smells like “love” much better than anything on the market today
Wow, I wouldn’t have made that connection...I just got love and I totally think you may be right!! Gonna go smell the two side by side now!!
I want to buy everything you describe 🤗😂💕
Hahah!!!! I’m glad you enjoy the descriptions! 😘
Hi Dear, new here. Have you smelled Versace noir and if so are they similar?
Do you mean Versace Crystal Noir? If so, no. I have all three and they all smell different. The only one is more coffee caramel, only one intense is boozy coconut woodsy and crystal noir is has a bit of that coconut but it’s a cooler scent somehow and a bit less sweet and more peppery
Maria Collett Yes Sorry I worded it wrong. I think I might sample it and see if I like it or not. Thank you so much dear ❤️
I am interested in trying the only one, but because of the coffee note. Sounds like that note doesn't stand out?
I don't find that it stands out overly. That said, everybody picks up different things...for me the orange blossom and the fruitiness with caramel comes out more than the coffee...in the end though, I now prefer the only one over the intense!!
I'm here from PuertoRico...blessings
Thank you! Blessings to you as well! 🥰
Is the intense good as a fall/winter perfume?
ABSOLUTELY!! I actually think it’s better for the fall and winter! I ended up buying a full bottle and I would say it’s in my top 3!!!
Maria Collett OMG I’m so excited to get it now! Do you think it’s something appropriate for the office?
Is coconut the dominant note in D&G the only one intense for women?
I definately get the coconut but it's balanced with the jasmine for me. The coconut doesn't stay forever though...more in the opening...Honestly, it becomes a sweet woody floral in the end.
@@mariacollettlife thank you, you’re the sweetest! 😍
Wow u are beautiful and I love the hair
Thank you so much! 💕
is it a summer perfume? and is it considered sexy and attractive?
I would say either could be worn in a summer evening but better in the cooler months. They are both “sexy” but my preference is the intense version.
@@mariacollettlife thank you ❤
What is your foundation please? 😊

It is so nice isn’t it?? 😀
The Dolce & Gabbana the only one Eau De Parfum Intense is that for woman ?
Yes it is. I think there is one for men as well but this one is marketed towards women! 😀
how does The Only One compare to Viktor & Rolf's Bon Bon? .. anyone?
I want to know that as well! I love bonbon. I crave caramel scents since then
I haven't tried Bon Bon! I'll have to go sniff it and then let you know :)
Your looking good
Thanks so much!
I like both of them and i will buy both 🤣
Let me know how you like them!! 😀
@@mariacollettlife omg, i love them, both are gorgeous:)
I love collecting fragrances. Do you have a signature scent? They have so many fruits in perfume, I’m just waiting for a banana 🍌 scent fragrance lol
I don’t have a signature- I like too many!!! Bananne Vanille by Sud Pacific is quite a mince banana vanilla!!!
Intense... Im in the intense camp....👼🏻
Still my favorite for sure!
which one is sweeter:)
They are both sweet but I would say The Only One is sweeter due to the caramel
@@mariacollettlife thank you so much i will buy this for my mum for christmas, she loves very sweet warm perfumes she loves vanilla coconut and caramel so it was hard to decide :)). Have a nice evening!
