Perfume Reviews for early 2016

So its been quite some time since I've reviewed fragrances. First, because I've stuck to my signature and didn't want to stray and second, because I'm, well a coward. I don't want to splash cash on something that I'm not sure about.
These three have been my newest buys and of course, I've been using for over a month or so.
Dolce and Gabbana THE ONE
I loved this perfume. Its just the right scent for date night or special occasions. Its well balanced, more oriental with top notes of madarin and bergamot. I loved this when I first tried a tester. It lasts four hours and really is fantastic. My only recommendation when you buy this, is that when you order -this is one of the MOST faked perfumes out there.
When I bought the perfume from another vendor, it was watered down, and smelt nothing like the original. Plus the perfume wouldn't last more than an hour. If you're paying 50$ a pop you would not be mad, you'd be enraged. So if you do order this from anywhere, no matter how much you trust the dealer, sniff, and if isn't strong or long lasting, contact the seller for a refund. The bottle as you see is simple to fake and you wouldn't know the difference. Also if you're under 25 please girls, don't wear this. Its a mature, classy scent that can be labelled a signature.
Calvin Klein's One
I just realized both these perfumes are 'one.' Coincidences, but ah, you say, there's no such thing. Shall we call it Synchronicity? This is a unisex perfume. Men can use it as a cologne and it does come with a sprayer for women as well.
I love this. Its expensive at 58$, but its clean and great when you'e travelling. Its small size makes it easy to carry on flight, Plus its fresh, has that wake me up feel, like the Cinthol girl in the waterfall.

For those who like aquatic scents, given the limited choice, this could be a alternative. Top notes pineapple, mandarin orange, lemon and bergamot, mind you, it doesn't make you smell like a fruit salad. And it lasts about four hours on me. Great for everyday use, I would say for any one under 40.
And finally S.T Dupont's Passenger Cruise EDT for women
This is exactly what it says it is. Smells like the ocean, very Mediterranean, but clean and simple. Doesn't last very long though. I think in the summer the dry down is better, so don't use it for winter. Its ideal for spring or summer. Top notes include pomegranate, lemon and grapefruit.
Its covered in this white flannel material, so you don't know how much is used up. I would say this is for middle aged women, but if you're a surfer, or beach goer, it would suit you fine. This one is the cheapest of the three.

As of now that's it.
Move I recommend: Fireproof (this should be recommended as part of syllabus for Pre-Cana)
Song I recommend: If by Elsa Kopf
Book I recommend: The Art of Racing in the Rain-Garth-Stein, will post a review soon on Goodreads as well as here.
Tata everyone, Happy Lenting
