Fragrance Review: Dolce & Gabbana The One

BellaSugar — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 07:00:03 -0700

The latest fragrance from Dolce & Gabbana is The One. You've probably seen the ads, featuring Gisele Bundchen doing the sexy-lady thing she does so well. (Still, when I see "The One," I can't stop thinking of the Backstreet Boys.)

The One is a warm, floral Oriental fragrance. It has top notes of bergamot and mandarin, with touches of lychee and peach. The heart note is more floral, and as the fragrance dries down, you can smell notes of vanilla and sweet amber. I expected this fragrance to be overtly sexy, much like the gorgeous dresses Dolce & Gabbana are known for. What I got, though, was somethin' else. Find out what it was when you read more

When I received the Eau de Parfum, I giddily opened it. I gave a spritz to my arm and waited for my sexy aura to become unmistakable. While that technically happened, it was a very special kind of sexiness: The sexiness embodied in Blanche Devereaux. Y'see, the scent leans just a little too much into the "mature" side of things. I even asked DannySF to take a sniff-and without me saying anything to him, he said, "It's nice... but it's a little old-lady."

That sums it up pretty well: It's a nice enough scent, but certainly not a signature fragrance-and definitely not something I'd expect to smell on a very young woman. If you're a huge D&G fan, you might want to try this, but otherwise, it's just so-so. Finally, I found the commercial for the fragrance, which manages to make Gisele seem like a demanding diva. I'm sure she's just acting (I've heard through the grapevine that she's super down-to-earth) but the ad certainly doesn't make me want to smell The One.

Fab Flash: Gisele is Still Number One

IMG Models have confirmed that uber gorgeous super model Gisele Bündchen will walk only one runway at Milan Fashion Week. It will be next Thursday for the Fall 2007 Dolce & Gabbana show. This is the first show she has walked for them since Spring 2003. Her spokesperson said:

“Gisele has a fragrance with Dolce and is doing their show exclusively in Milan next week.”

Oooh, sounds like an upcoming Beauty Byte to me! The fragrance referred to is The One by Dolce & Gabbana , and will be launched in the U.S. this summer. No fair - it has already been available in Europe for months!

The One features the Brazilian beauty in both print and television ads. This is the first new fragrance launched by the Italian duo since their licensing deal with Proctor & Gamble Prestige Products in December 2005.

We can't wait to see the gazelle-like Gisele dressed in Dolce at the show on Thursday. At least we know she'll smell great!

Attention Ryan Reynolds fans. Things just got a whole lot sexier, as the handsome actor has just been named the face of a brand-new Hugo Boss fragrance. Specifics about the scent have yet to be provided, but I imagine it will smell like sexiness in a bottle. (Swoon.) Whatever the case, it looks like Ryan is keeping it all in the family. If you recall, his wife Scarlett Johansson is the spokeswoman for Dolce & Gabbana's Rose The One and The One fragrances.

"Boss is a brand that not only represents classic style and sophistication, but inspires men to work hard, embrace opportunities, and strive for success in all aspects of their lives," he told WWD. Are you looking forward to checking out the forthcoming scent?

Girls on Film: V Magazine, #63, One Size Fits All

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 06:00:08 -0800

V Magazine's issue #63, available Jan. 24, is out to prove that fashion can flatter any figure. Dubbed "The Size Issue," photographer Terry Richardson snapped plus-size model and author of Hungry Crystal Renn in a side-by-side photo shoot with the "normal model-sized" Jacquelyn Jablonski. Both girls are styled in the same skin-tight outfits by Proenza Schouler, Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani, and more, while posing in similar stances. In case you're wondering, Jacquelyn measures 5'9", 32/24/34, while Crystal is 5'9", 36/31/41. Does this editorial prove to you that fashion is really one size fits all?

2010 Spring Milan Fashion Week: Dolce & Gabbana

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:30:22 -0700

It was all about passion and romance at Dolce & Gabbana's Spring showing at Milan Fashion Week. Showing utmost creative capability, the designers made a heavenly mix of sexy menswear-inspired suits, lace dresses, floral-printed separates, blouson shorts, and tiered frocks. "[The collection] is sexy, but not too sexy. . . . We're talking about sensuality," said Domenico Dolce. And that they did via bold, leopard prints, scintillating corsets, and a slick play on see-through dressing via black netting and mesh.

There was no limit to their imagination - the duo drew influences spanning from Madonna to Sicily - and created something for everyone. Classic, sophisticated gals will undoubtedly immerse themselves in Dolce & Gabbana's vintage white-lace dresses; hip darlings can revel in their floral and animal printed pieces; and sporty minimalists can celebrate in their selection of tailored suits. The emerging odd trend of the season - pantless one-pieces - were prominent and some of my favorite for Spring thus far. Bravi Domenico and Stefano!

Celebrities are flocking to Milan this week as fashion week takes place with some of the biggest names in the industry. Prada, Fendi and Dolce & Gabbana have already presented their Spring lines and received front row support from very stylish ladies.

Private Practice Style: Addison Montgomery

In this scene from Private Practice, Doctor Montgomery goes for a slightly more cutesy look than we're used to. Her Martin halter dress has a playful feel, especially when paired with bright red Dolce & Gabbana patent pumps. Her pearl jewelry, however, reminds us that she is a doctor, and a sophisticated one at that. Shop similar items now including her go-to Lockheart bag!
