    Wow this comparison is so helpful. I have black opium and l love it. Iv also had D&G The Only One on my wish list because of the patchouli drydown. I’m a sucker for patchouli 🤣 and that’s the reason why l can’t wait to get the D&G. Perfumes are indeed different from one person to the other 💙💙💙💙💙. Thank you for sharing 🥰

    How did I miss this video 🙄Love the sudden change, very unexpected and your sweater looks so beautiful! I love D&G The One but I understand the patchouli is quite strong but I love patchouli but only in small doses or mixed with a ton of vanilla. I need to try Black Opium again as I was not a fan at first!! Wonderful well detailed comparison I really loved it and I love you 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

    I’ve actually been contemplating between getting The Only One and Black Opium recently, but wasn’t sure how similar they’d be due to the coffee note. This comparison video was super duper helpful to me!! Thank you so much, Frances, I’m leaning toward Black Opium now, because when you said The Only One dries down almost fully patchouli, I ran the other way LOL! 💙💙

Loving the blue sweater. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙. I have met lots of wonderful and kind people also. Did you make those hats? If yes that is awesome they are beautiful.

    💙💙💙💙. I just found your channel. Thanks for this video. I have always been curious about those 2 fragrances. I have the Black Opium EDT. But I ordered D&G the only one instead of the original Black Opium. A lot of people complain about its longevity. So I am trying out D&G first. I hope I'll like it. So thanks again for this video. I enjoyed a lot.

    I'm still trying to decide whether I like patchouli or not. I do tend to wear The Only One more, on me it's lighter. I've gotten compliments from it. I do like Black Opium too, but it's more special occasion to me. I'm so glad you compared them here!

    • @HappinessSparkles
      @HappinessSparkles  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      EnglishProfStyle I know what you mean about Patchouli,for me it all depends on where it comes out in a fragrance and how well blended it is !! In some fragrances it’s perfect at a subtle distance where I can barely smell it LOL

    That’s so crazy that the only one turns to patchouli and also that you tried it at bedtime! Remember the fiasco when I wore angel to bed and couldn’t sleep bc the patchouli was so strong!? I haven’t worn it since! I’m gonna spray the only one on right now and see if I get a patchouli dry down! I love your sweater! Oh girl leave me out but I need a hat or two! What a beautiful giveaway! Love you angel dolly!💙 💙💙💙💙💙🧶🧶🧶 (that’s yarn) 😂

    I love The Only One... but i do admit that i WISHED the coffee and caramel notes stay longer.. it is very powdery on me on the drydown ... i love it.. but not so much that i reach out for it OFTEN. I need to test it more during cooler weather.. i should wear it now... i tried Black Opium.. but it is very floral on me? Well, i tested it on my wrists only... i need to spray it on me maybe....

    I smell D&G before and.. Nope!! Not for me..

    Hello, I prefer The only one to Black opium, I found BO nice but too sweet generic, maybe because it has been so much worn quite by everybody, it's very recognizable, and The only one is smoother and more versatile for me :-)
