Dolce & Gabbana The One for Men

What owners report has changed.

What changed

The licence for Dolce & Gabbana's perfumes moved to Shiseido in 2016 and to Give Back Beauty in 2022, and a Basenotes member explains that each move has meant rebuilding the formulas. In 2025 the EDP was repackaged with a new ingredient list, and the notes listed for the EDT dropped grapefruit and tobacco. One owner found the current EDT almost unrecognisable next to a 2014 bottle; another says it is different but keeps its character.

Unless the report says the brand announced it, this comes from owners comparing bottles, not from the brand. Two bottles from different batches can smell different; check the batch code where you can.
