A new era
Dolce&Gabbana’s star-studded campaign revives a classic scent—find out more about the revival below.
How do you know when you’ve found The One? According to Dolce&Gabbana, you’ll know it when you smell it. Just in time for the new year, the Italian luxury house has revamped its iconic The One fragrances for him and for her, ushering in a new era with a fresh concept by Mert Alas. The mesmerising new campaign stars living legend and timeless icon, Madonna, alongside celebrated Cuban actor Alberto Guerra.
Playing on the themes of seduction and attraction, the campaign draws inspiration from 1970s neorealist cinema. The film puts Madonna at the centre of its narrative as she rewrites the rules of seduction, breaks stereotypes, and reverses roles. Charged with mystery, attraction, and passion, the film sees her transforming her sensuality into a weapon, empowering her with the driving force that pulls the protagonists together.
