One More
If you want an everyday spice fragrance that skips synthetic sugar bombs, One More delivers a grounded, cozy mood. The opening delivers a dry rush of cardamom and citrus peel that feels brisk rather than sharp. Soon, velvety plum and lush jasmine take over, lending a gentle floral sweetness that feels relaxed and natural. A base of nutty tonka bean, amber resin, and clean patchouli wraps everything in quiet comfort. It suits anyone who enjoys subtle spice with a fruit-forward heart. Spritz it before work, weekend coffee dates, or casual evening gatherings across crisp fall and spring weather.

On bare skin, One More lasts between 5 and 7 hours, while clinging to wool sweaters or cotton shirts for upwards of 10 to 12 hours. Projection pushes out to about 2 or 3 feet during the first hour and a half, after which it recedes to a personal 6-inch scent bubble. Cold outdoor drafts blunt its projection significantly, but indoor body warmth keeps it radiating gently.
Notes Pyramid

One More opens with a brisk citrus kick of bergamot coupled with the sharp, dusty warmth of crushed cardamom and cumin seed. As the volatile top oils evaporate, ripe dark plum softens the edge, swirling into velvety jasmine petals and creamy sandalwood. The drydown rests on a warm bed of earthy patchouli, golden amber, and toasted tonka bean, delivering a cozy, gently spiced floral trail.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe warm spicy accord dominates the first half-hour with a dry, culinary kick of cardamom and cumin rather than sweet holiday baking spice. Soon, the fresh citrus accord recedes, clearing room for a plush white floral and fruity core where plum balances the floral sharpness. In the deep drydown, amber, woody sandalwood, and patchouli meld together, creating a soft, resinous warmth with zero sticky sweetness.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“CIEL Parfum One More Review: A Grounded Autumn Floral”
The first spray hits with a sudden splash of alcohol before calming down. Give it two minutes. Once the solvent evaporates, a bright burst of tart bergamot crashes right into dry cardamom seed and a distinctly earthy flicker of cumin. That cumin note might startle you at first if you expect a breezy mall citrus. It adds a dusty, savory edge that keeps the citrus from feeling like generic dish soap. (Do not judge this fragrance solely by the initial paper strip.) On warm skin, that prickly spice immediately begins to interact with body heat, warming up into something far friendlier and rounded.
Within twenty minutes, the sharp edges soften. A dark, sweet plum emerges and melds directly into creamy jasmine flower petals. This is not a sharp, screechy floral. Instead, it reads like a rich amber jasmine perfume with a mellow fruit glaze that prevents the white florals from feeling old-fashioned or overly bridal. Underneath, milky sandalwood starts to anchor the middle layer, adding a smooth woody texture that tempers the sweet stone fruit. It settles into an easy, comforting rhythm that feels surprisingly intimate.
As the heart notes slowly wind down around hour three, the base fixatives take over. Earthy patchouli provides grounding grit without smelling like damp cellar dirt or pungent headshop oil. Sweet tonka bean and golden amber add gentle warmth. If you often search for a gourmand jasmine perfume, this offers a milder, less sugary path by keeping the vanilla facets dry and nutty rather than cloying. On dry skin, the scent pulls slightly powdery, trading fruit sweetness for a cozy amber-wood skin scent that hugs close.
Longevity is modest. Expect around five to six hours of noticeable presence on bare wrists, stretching toward eight hours if you hit your scarf or cotton collar. Sillage never shouts. You get an arm's-length scent bubble for roughly ninety minutes before the fragrance pulls inward to sit quietly against your collarbones. In cold, windy outdoor air, projection drops off quickly. However, in heated indoor spaces or mild autumn weather around 15°C, the spiced plum and sandalwood project with steady, polite warmth.
Who is this actually for? Anyone looking for a cozy, daytime spice fragrance that skips juvenile spun sugar will appreciate the balance here. While marketed toward women, the prominent cumin and cardamom give it an easy unisex appeal that wears well on masculine skin too. It feels right at home in casual workplaces, weekend farmer markets, or quiet dinner dates. If you demand room-filling projection or candy-sweet vanilla, you will probably be disappointed.
One More is a humble, well-calibrated everyday fragrance that delivers surprising nuance for its price point. It will not reinvent the wheel. Yet, the interplay between dusty spices, ripe plum, and creamy jasmine creates an effortless comfort that is easy to reach for on brisk mornings. Spray it liberally on your favorite knit sweater and let the spiced fruit do its quiet work.
FAQs
What does the opening of One More by CIEL Parfum smell like?+
The opening of One More hits with a sharp burst of bergamot citrus, dry crushed cardamom, and a distinct pinch of cumin. You might notice a brief alcohol lift during the first ninety seconds before the essential oils settle. The spice feels dry and brisk rather than sweet, setting an aromatic tone before the fruit notes appear.
How does One More transition from top notes into the drydown?+
Within twenty minutes, the sharp citrus and cumin soften as dark, juicy plum and creamy jasmine take over the heart. As the floral mid-phase lingers for about three hours, smooth sandalwood begins emerging. The final drydown settles into a comforting, skin-close mix of warm amber, nutty tonka bean, and gentle earthy patchouli.
How long does One More last on skin compared to clothing?+
One More typically lasts 5 to 7 hours on bare skin and easily extends to 10 or 12 hours on fabric. Heavier base fixatives like amber, tonka, and patchouli bind tightly to natural fibers such as cotton and wool, whereas body warmth and dry skin accelerate the evaporation of the lighter plum and floral notes.
What is the sillage and projection radius of One More?+
One More projects at an arm's length of about two to three feet for the first ninety minutes before settling into a skin scent. It generates a courteous, personal aura rather than a room-filling cloud. People standing right next to you will catch pleasant wafts of spiced plum without feeling overwhelmed.
Which seasons and temperatures bring out the best in One More?+
One More performs best in moderate temperatures between 10°C and 20°C during crisp autumn and cool spring days. Mild conditions allow the warm spices and rich plum to project cleanly. In intense summer heat over 28°C, the amber can feel slightly heavy, while freezing winter winds quickly suppress its modest projection.
Is One More suitable for workplace wear or evening occasions?+
One More works exceptionally well for daytime office wear, casual weekend outings, and low-key evening dates. Because its sillage remains polite and restrained, it will not irritate colleagues in enclosed meeting rooms. Its cozy plum and warm amber undertones provide enough intimacy to feel polished for relaxed dinner dates.
Does One More lean more feminine or can men wear it too?+
Although CIEL Parfum classifies One More as a feminine fragrance, its prominent cardamom, cumin, and sandalwood give it a strong unisex appeal. The absence of sugary candy sweetness allows the dry spice and rich woods to smell fantastic on anyone who enjoys grounded, fruit-accented oriental blends regardless of gender.
How does One More compare to Serge Lutens Feminite du Bois?+
One More shares a similar spiced plum and wood character with Feminite du Bois, but it smells softer and more floral. Feminite du Bois features a much drier, heavier cedar foundation with stewed fruit, while One More highlights creamy jasmine petals and a gentler, more approachable amber tonka base.
What concentration is One More and does it offer good value?+
One More is formulated as an Eau de Parfum, offering solid daily value for fragrance lovers seeking an affordable niche-style scent. While it lacks the sheer power of luxury extraits, its thoughtful blend of savory spices, ripe fruit, and cozy base resins delivers character well above typical budget designer perfumes.
What fragrances or scent families layer best with One More?+
One More layers beautifully with simple vanilla mists, clean cedarwood oils, or bright citrus splashes. Spraying a dry woody fragrance underneath enhances the sandalwood and patchouli base. Alternatively, pairing it with a light citrus cologne amplifies the opening bergamot sparkle and keeps the overall profile fresher during warmer afternoons.
