Dolce and Gabbana The One Gentleman EDT
The One Gentleman, "brimming with luxurious appeal", is
described by D&G as a scent for the man who is courteous,
considered, with an instinctive feel for chivalry. Well, we think
it's quite nice on women too, despite the fact that this
"effortlessly charming scent", is fronted by the iconic stubbly
charmer himself, Matthew McConnaughey. So why not check this
oriental fougere with understated allure out? Pepper and grapefruit
are complimented by lavender and seductive patchouli.
