Diavolo per Donna

ill always have this perfume in my collection for scentimental reasons. i cant say i would love this scent if it wasnt associated with one of my favorite people of all time (whos now passed on). RIP

Devil Woman? Hardly. This is a beautiful sweet fragrance for women who embrace their femininity and don't want to scare anyone. I don't know whether it's been reformulated but I can only speak for the 1999 original. Antonio Banderas put his name to this fragrance and I thought well maybe I'll smell like a sexy spicy Spanish woman. But this is more a fragrance that describes his wife Melanie Griffith: it's sweet, soft, delicate but not too much, no nonsense but sophisticated, classy, elegant and sexy. It starts with some green notes and tea, like plants and leaves, but in a perfumy way, bordering on a chypre. Because it begins smelling like an aromatic chypre or tea perfume, it disappears and then the fruitiness and floral scents take over. This is a well balanced fruity floral. I can totally smell the grapefruit, nectarine and plum. I have been told by more expert noses that plum as a fruit has no real scent. What you smell in a plum note in a fragrance is usually a rose scent or cassis/cassia. Whatever they did in the lab, it smells like the plums and nectarines I've eaten. This is ripe, rich, fruit scent, nothing like celebrity fruit scents that are too sweet. It smells a bit like Donna by Pavarotti which is also a big fruity floral. It's formulated in the same way as those epic 90's fruity florals like Lancôme's Tresor. So if you like those fragrances you'll like this one. The notes mentioned here are: Green Notes Tea Nectarine Grapefruit Plum Violet Rose Hip Sandalwood Musk I do smell roses, so whether that's an unlisted note or not it's clearly there or the rose hip and violet combined smell like roses. I do smell a strong violet scent so that violet is an individual floral scent that stands out to my nose. The dry down is musky but not heavily musky or unisex musky. The sandalwood keeps it aromatic and woodsy, wonderfully woodsy. Not bad. I really like this. It was hard to have to sell it on ebay because I love how this stuff smells. I'll have to buy one from another ebay seller myself!

i really loved it when i was in high school. It was my first love and this perfume was the first one that got me so adictive to perfumes. It was great but i don't know in wich category to put it..... maybe bright , spicy creamy floral, lovely and very good staing power. The price is ok , good quality for good price, lovely....

yup i used to like this perfume and i also used to wear it some years ago. now i do not quite remember very well the smell of it but as it reminds me of my first love i think that i still like this perfume. what i remember is that it is woody,sweet and also a little masculine.

I finally have it... It's soft..kinda too sweet for me. It's not my cup of tea. I hardly fine the masculinity. But nevermind, i will use it infrequently when i want to feel romantic. i prefer not to recommend this as casual use, it make me sick at work
