The review

On paper, The One Only is a strong bet if you want More Than Words for less.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is More Than Words's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $89 per 100ml it costs 78% less than More Than Words — the 5th cheapest of 7 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on cardamom, damask rose and dried fruits, turns to rose, fruity notes and spicy notes, and settles into agarwood (oud), ambergris and labdanum. That is the brief The One Only is working from.

Top

  • cardamom
  • damask rose
  • dried fruits

Heart

  • rose
  • fruity notes
  • spicy notes

Base

  • agarwood (oud)
  • ambergris
  • labdanum
For the one who speaks in gestures, drenching a sweet jammy damask rose in dark oud and resinous warmth.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 9 twins of Xerjoff More Than Words we can price, The One Only is number 5 on price per 100ml.
