The One for Men Parfum is the most concentrated version of The One. Ulta's listing opens with black pepper and Tarocco orange, places labdanum in the heart for an ambery depth, and finishes on tobacco, and files it as ambery spicy. Compared with the eau de parfum, it swaps clary sage and grapefruit for pepper and labdanum, so it reads darker and spicier on paper. It had 95 reviews averaging 4.6 out of 5 at our check, the same rating as the eau de parfum. The drawbacks are practical: Ulta sells it online only, in one size at $195, with no mini and no size stated in the listing text we read, so it is harder to sample and costs more to start than any The One alternative. Choose it if you already like The One and want a stronger, spicier take; otherwise start with the eau de parfum. We compared published notes, sizes and prices; we did not wear-test any fragrance.
