🇫🇷 French Perfumes!😶‍🌫 Long Lasting and Intense Scents!👍 Fraction of the Cost of Designer Fragrances

PRODUCT DETAILS

Eau de parfum, 50 ml, made with around 20% fragrance oil. It costs an affordable €25, the same as every fragrance dupe we make, whatever the original behind it. Free shipping on orders from €49, with delivery in 2 to 5 working days.

The original has a reputation for fading fast on skin. First and Last is built to hold its citrus-spice opening and amber-tobacco base for longer, without going as light as a splash-on scent.

Longevity runs 5 to 8 hours. Handmade in France, vegan and cruelty free, never tested on animals. Not for you? First and Last can be exchanged within 15 days.

NOTES

Top notes

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

First and Last is our perfume dupe of The One by Dolce & Gabbana, built for anyone who wants that spicy, woody warmth without the fragile performance of the original. It opens on grapefruit, coriander and basil, moves into cardamom, ginger and orange blossom, and settles into amber, tobacco and cedar.

That amber-tobacco base is the part people remember, smooth and slightly smoky rather than sweet. Worn blind, it smells like the original's citrus-spice opening, then follows a similar warm, woody drydown as the hours pass. It reads masculine and intense, never feminine or soft, built for men who want a fragrance with real presence. Compared with our other fragrances, this is one of the boldest we make.

Among the perfumes we make, this is one of the spicier options, built for people who already like The One and want the same amber-tobacco fragrance without the fade. The cardamom and ginger middle notes carry that spice from the top straight into the base, and the notes themselves hold together longer than a lot of perfumes at this price.

Perfume concentration

EDT, EDP or EXDP - what you are actually buying

The difference between these labels is not quality but how much perfume oil sits in the bottle. That decides how long the scent stays on your skin and how far it travels.

EDT Eau de Toilette 5 to 15% perfume oil

The lightest of the three. It opens fresh and fast, but fades after three to five hours. Pleasant in heat and at the office, as long as you top it up during the day.

Our choiceEDP Eau de Parfum ~20% perfume oil

The middle ground that became the standard. It lasts six to eight hours, one spray in the morning is enough, and the scent stays recognisable into the evening without filling the room.

EXDP Extrait de Parfum 20 to 40% perfume oil

The densest form, worn in drops, and it can last over ten hours. In return it loses that easy opening, and the price per bottle climbs the most.

Why we chose EDP

Every Chez Pierre perfume is made in Eau de Parfum concentration, with 20% perfume oil. That is not by accident.

An eau de toilette would mean carrying the bottle with you and refreshing the scent after lunch. An extrait would push the price up, and only someone counting hours would notice the gain. EDP sits exactly in between: one spray in the morning carries the whole working day, and the scent opens and develops instead of settling on the skin at once.

So we don't make lighter and pricier versions of the same scent. We make one, in the concentration where that scent works best.

How a perfume is measured

Longevity, projection and sillage

Three things describe every perfume, whatever the price or the name on the bottle. Once you separate them, it is easier to say what you actually want from a scent.

01

Longevity

How many hours the scent stays on skin

Measured from the moment you spray to the moment you can no longer smell it up close. It depends on the concentration, but also on your skin: on dry skin every perfume lasts less, so a dab of unscented cream before spraying helps.

02

Projection

How far it travels around you

Strongest in the first hour, it tells you how much space the scent takes up. Big projection is great for evenings and colder days, while at the office or in a meeting it usually gets in the way more than it helps.

03

Sillage

The trail you leave behind

Pronounced „see-yazh“, it means the trail a scent leaves behind you. It is the reason someone turns around as you pass. A perfume can last a long time and still leave a small trail, and the other way round.

Strong is not the same as good. A perfume with huge projection quickly tires both you and the people around you, while one without any trail stays your own private thing.

That is why every one of our perfume descriptions says how it wears, not only how it smells.

CHOOSE YOUR LIFESYLE

First and Last

Inspired by: The One, Dolce & Gabbana

First and Last, our The One dupe, works best from autumn through winter, when the amber and tobacco base has something to hold onto, though the citrus opening keeps it wearable into summer too. It suits nights out more than a quiet office day, since the spice and warmth carry. It's not trying to reinvent the house's original idea, just make this fragrance easier to keep reaching for.

It's built as a men's fragrance with a clearly masculine character rather than unisex, though plenty of women wear it too since the citrus-spice opening keeps it from feeling overly heavy for her.

Choose our Inspiration

The One arrived from Dolce & Gabbana in 2008 as a spicy, woody amber fragrance built around the house's idea of understated seduction. It sits firmly in designer, luxury territory rather than niche perfumery, and it remains one of the brand's most recognisable men's releases.

People rarely use the full name, usually just The One. Reviews consistently flag the same weak spot common to warm amber fragrances like this one: it smells expensive but fades fast, which is exactly why perfume dupes, clones and alternatives built for longer wear keep appearing on the market.

Why choose us?

First and Last is our alternative to The One by Dolce & Gabbana, made to smell similar to the original's citrus-spice accord, built independently around the same warm, woody profile and filled by hand in small batches. We call it a dupe, not an imitation, chasing the same character rather than lifted directly from the source.

We only make it in one strength, since a fragrance like this needs enough oil behind it to hold the amber and tobacco base far longer than the original's reported fade time. If it doesn't match what you remember, you have 15 days to send it back.
