Italiano Donna

AMBROSIA FRUIT SALAD: Marshmallow, Mandarin & Whipped Cream. Inspired by Dolce&Gabbana Pour Femme Intense, this beauty opens with a burst of fluffy orange-blossom & mandarin, that deepens into the white-floral heart that supports and continues the orange-blossom with sweet, marshmallow, powdery, citrus, near-licorice, spicy & floral tones. This all rests on a vanilla base of with tonka, sandalwood and musk. I agree with reviewer Ceevee963 who says "Instant love...fluffy, mandarin orange salad with cool whip & marshmallows..." That sounds like ambrosia salad, and overall I get a fluffy orange-blossom scent with prominent marshmallow tones. For those not familiar with D&G Pour Femme range, the orange-blossom here is a similar type as in Love (Don't Be Shy) by Kilian, but doesn't go as sweet with caramel, although it's still sweet. This is a gorgeous scent with excellent longevity and soft but present projection. It's a love for me. Enjoy! Update 03/13/25: Sprayed this on today looking for marshmallow-y orange-blossom. Starts out that way (like a marshmallow-y orange-blossom) with passing reminders to scents like Guimauve Reminiscent. It then transitions to a milky jasmine-lily heart that reminds me of a cross between Night Scented Jasmine Floris & Baiser Vole Cartier (although I get more jasmine here than lily). Then the drydown turns into a brown-sugar sandalwood-tonka base. In the base I get more sandalwood than tonka, and I get why people have compared this to Hanae Mori Hanae Mori. Through all the transitions it remains quite creamy. Still a love. 10/10.

I own (and LOVE) D&G Pour Femme and saw this recommended as a dupe/less expensive alternative. I had a GC and decided to give this and another Armaf fragrance a shot, since they would be free..! I have read some positive Armaff reviews as well as many negative ones and honestly was completely prepared to have this be a disappointment. Instead, I am pleased to report that this smells a LOT (90-95%, not exact but really really close) like D&G Pour Femme on my skin and not only does it smell great, it has similar longevity as well. Several hours in I couldn’t really smell too much bringing my wrist to my face but I could still catch whiffs now and then of the fragrance. That, for me, is a win, and I am 100% happy with this cheapie. I am currently trying out the other Armaf I bought, and if 20min in is any indication, that one is a winner as well..! I would highly suggest reading the reviews, both this one and the other fragrance I bought did have favorable reviews here.

After reading and watching many reviews on both Fragrantica.com, Google and YouTube, I finally decided to purchase this online. It was on sale for just €14, so I had nothing to lose. And my oh my, this fragrance is super delicious. At first I couldn't really figure out what the scent reminded me of, and since I don't own D&G Pour Femme, I could not make that comparison. After smelling the scent on my wrist long enough, I finally figured out what Armaf Italiano Donna reminds me of and that is, ladies and gents.....drum roll......🥁: Lip Smacker!!! If you grew up in the 90s, like I have, then you should remember these gorgeous, fruitylicous lip balms. If you love sweet, gourmand-like perfumes and collected Lip Smacker lip balms💄, (and don't mind a little nostalgia and Bubblicious gum flavor🍬) then this is for you! The vanilla, musk and tonka beans are definitely present but not overbearing, and this is what makes the scent.

This has been my credit scent for years now and wading through a couple of bottles I was wondering if I would open the next one? I'm not tired of this, even though i have 100+ and i get bored of some scents pretty quickly. I think this is the perfect marshmallow fragrance for an adult woman too! Here is a subtle nuance like punch and some pleasant, mature note, on my nose that is not traditional leather, but for some reason reminds me of expensive car benches(?) ... The reflectivity and longevity of this are reasonable, yet this is not an annoying odor even when over-sprayed... 🙄well.. My daughter says that this is punch marshmallow scent, I think she just nails it. Signature material for sure. Hope this never disappears from the Market!

Instant love. I purchased this without knowing that it was a D&G Pour Femme clone, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that out, as I had D&G on my wishlist for a while. This scent is everything to me. Powdery, sweet, slightly citrusy. When I wear it, it reminds me of a fluffy, mandarin orange salad with cool whip and marshmallows that my mom used to make for picnics and pot luck parties. It’s so feminine and comforting. I’ve worn this to bed and woke up 8-9 hours later, still smelling it on my clothes. The packaging is hideous, but don’t let that deter you from purchasing and adoring this beauty.
