A love story that&#8217;s been going on for decades. The Italian house has been creating men&#8217;s scents since the 90s, ranging from the freshest Mediterranean aromas to the darkest and most spiced. I&#8217;ll say it straight: if you don&#8217;t have a D&amp;G yet, you&#8217;re missing out.

Instantly recognisable for its warm, spiced oriental character, it&#8217;s the Italian house&#8217;s reference fragrance in the men&#8217;s category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there an affordable dupe for The One by D&amp;G?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. <a href=\"https:\/\/divainers.com\/en\/producto\/divain-006\/\">DIVAIN-006<\/a> is the dupe for The One for Men by D&amp;G.
