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.

This is GORGEOUS! Fluffy marshmallow, candied orange peel, creamy sandalwood and bubblegum tuberose. Intoxicating, uber feminine...and outstanding value for money. Instant love! It’s definitely a close dupe for both D&G Pour Femme & the Intense version (and luckily for me, I love both!). It emulates both the fluffy, marshmallow-cosiness of the original and the white floral wickedness of ‘Intense‘. Projection and longevity are both excellent...quality is high...it’s available in 100mls...and this beauty can be picked up for peanuts. It’s a massive WIN all round. Enjoy!

I just got this today in the mail. This smells exactly like Rawan al rehab rollerball as in i could barely tell the difference. I haven’t tried any of the DnG pour femme so i cannot compare them. The vanilla marshmallowy scent smells so addicting. The bottle is nice and elegant looking in my collection. Longevity is good too. Sillage is moderate so this can be a nice inoffensive scent to wear in the office. I really like this and i am very happy with this blind buy. The price is affordable too which is another plus point! Total win!

I'm surprised at reading the reviews because I didn't get bubblegum at all. I got this extremely beautiful and deep vanilla with the fluffy marshmallow in the background. The floral and orange were pretty quiet and didn't steal the show. Very impressed with this fragrance, especially for the price point. I sprayed this on at 8pm for evening/bed. I woke up and it's still going strong. My husband adored it and said that he got whiffs all night long when I would turn over or fluff the covers. Definitely one of my top favorites.

Smells insanely similar to D&G pour femme intense. I use them interchangeably. I really didn't think it would be so close a dupe when I first bought it but....OO It is. The actual bottle isn't the best but it's okay. If you want to save some money buy this. Also bonus for those that don't like the subtle animalic accord/smell in the pour femme intense....this doesn't have it imo. ;) Last great and smells great. Bubblegum marshmallow amber floral just like the PFI. Well worth having. 9/10 rating

I own D&G Pour Femme and this. Never smelled the intense version, but after smelling this I honestly don't think I need to buy D&G again. Smells 99% similar to D&G Pour Femme except it's stronger and lasts twice as long (literally 7 hours on the skin- amazing!). D&G dries down to a soft marshmallow sweet musk after 3 hours and this fragrance dries down to a sandalwood vanilla musk.. but still smells 99% the same. Lasts longer, smells amazing, costs less. A real winner!! Just wow!

The reviewer below perfectly describes this fragrance, A posh bubble gum perfume lol...I don't get the floral notes, it's mostly the Tonka, vanila and Sandalwood. I wear this in the nights as I live in a tropical country so it might be too sweet and spicy for daytime wear. Men seem to love it for some reason. It's also one of the longest lasting perfume I own (Next to Armaf Italiano Vivo which is my signature scent).

Clean, fresh, sweet, floral, a little spicy but most of all I get bubblegum and something marshmallow like, mostly on my skin, not so much in the air. It’s delicious, love at first sniff. Hate the bottle though, really bad quality but the scent makes up for it. A good blind buy. To me JS Fancy and Armaf Italiano Donna has the same vanilla, sandalwood and jasmine. Fancy is the more warm, caramel and fruity version.

I bought it (blind buy) based on the reviews First time wearing 😕 I couldn't really tell whether I liked it or not. I thought maybe in the winter it would be nice. Tried a second time and the dry down is to die for, I absolutely love it For the price I can't complain, I pretty much just love the dry down it does smell like jasmine and Tonka bean. Edit: only a week later and I fell in love 😍

eye roll goodness...this scent is really good.. i can smell the fruitiness and floral with a base of vanilla, marshmallowy to my nose.. the initial scent of orange blossom is really there and this one is quite long lasting and a heavy hitter on me who typically enjoys freshies..

Wow!! I just got this one. I'm wearing it now. Can't compare it to bon bon or d&g because I haven't smelled them. But this smells amazing!!! It has kind of a fruit loops or Skittles scent, and I really truly love it. I'm glad I bought two bottles. Score!!!

Discontinued. :((((( And already outrageous prices. I have half a bottle left now....guess I'll be savoring every drop. (secretly hoping Armaf is just revamping & is making another fragrance identical with new name/packaging). 9.5/10 rating

I got this as a present for my hair stylist friend. She works at a salon and gets compliments from other women every day--I am not exaggerating. This is a compliment monster and lasts more than 8 hours.

Not Armaf discontinuing one of my favorite fragrances 😡...Please bring back Eternia and Italiano Donna. Two of your best creations now discontinued 😔

If this is discontinued, I also have Lattafa Ansaam Gold. I shouldn't admit it, but despite its beautiful bottle, this Armaf smells better.🙊

Absolutely fantastic! I am in love with it. It was love at the first sniff !! In my opinion this gem suitable for Men & Women . 9 / 10

Omg it’s very beautiful scent I’m obsessed Very well blended and almost identical to pour femme I’m so happy with this blind buy

Its mature version of v&r bonbon, that is going to gym, no better way to describe it

Going to add my voice to the majority here. A fantastic dupe of D&G Pour Femme.

ARMAF!! Please bring this back and Eternia PLEASE!!

I just got my nose on this, I love it!

Italiano Donna begins with a cheerful blend of sweet mandarin orange and creamy vanilla. Lots of musk and woody notes add depth to the white florals top notes, but this is primarily a fruity, powdery bubblegum on the drydown. It is strong, sweet, and somewhat unusual, in a similar category as Mugler's Angel Muse to my nose. Strange, but addictive. Oddly reminds me of a polished leather car seats - perhaps occupied by a bubblegum-chomping 20-something wearing pearly vanilla Lipsmackers. Very affordable bang-for-your-buck fragrance. I like it, but I have to be in the right mood for it!

Just received this. First of all...I can sorta see the comparisons to the D & G scent, however, Donna Italiano is different IMO. It seems to have less sweetness and floral...and on my skin goes "vintage-y" (which is a good thing for me). This Armaf, along with many other Armaf's, I find it must develop on skin to fully appreciate what you are getting. As many have said, the dry down is awesome. Moderate performance for me. A more mature D&G Pour Femme. I like this....but still investigating ...!!

For the price, this scent is absolutely delicious. It's close enough to fool most people but don't expect an exact dupe of either Pour Femme or Intense. Those are a little bit more refined and smoother but the average shopper probably won't care. I'm using my Italiano Donna to refresh later in the day. And I will repurchase when I run out. Rating: 🍒🍒🍒🍒 Cruelty free 🐾

This one and Azzaro Wanted Girl by Night are almost identical twins, the only slight difference I feel is that Italiano Donna has a slight hint of leather, but just a teensy weensy, and Wanted Girl by Night does not have it at all. They are both creamy, decadent, deep grapey fragrances (both have the same color of red grapes, hmmm, makes you think, right?)

Sniffed this Today , and i liked it subtle floral warm soft , really good not WOW but good i would like to smell it on a lady for the price a blind buy worthy dont know about the performance though :) --------- P.S :Some friend of mine told me that this is similar to D&G pour femme intense ! so try this one if that floats your boat ladies :)

Just received this today as a blind buy because of joy on you tube. I'm happy with this purchase. Very nice, inoffensive scent. I expected it to be a little more dark but it's light and pretty. I don't have D&G so I can't compare it but it does remind me of Hanae Mori. Someone said a cousin and I'd agree. I like this actually more than HM.

This is a real dupe for D&G Pour Femme, they are identical. It smells nice but it is still too light for me, but it does last pretty long. I will definitely use this one as a layering scent with stronger scent. Layer this with Amber Invite Only from Kayali, and you will obtain a delicious boozy bubblegummy scent, trust me it's delicious !

Nice scent but smells a little barbie doll to me. Wish it had just a little Tobacco or something to give it a little more sexiness to it. I'd give it a 8/10.

boozy and rummy vanilla with a little orange tinge. Very solid offering and price value ratio, wow!.

This is a weird one! At first it smells like a new car - in a nice way. A little leathery and synthetic. I do not get a single note from the pyramid breakdown. But then it softens to something like... warm, sweet, sunkissed skin. Like how you smell after a hot day. It's pleasant in a strange way. I'll have to give it a few more chances to see if the bottle ages and evolves some more. Update: After trying this every day for a week, it truly smells like the bottom of a leather handbag. 100%. It has the stale leathery smell, the old bubblegum that's been in the bag for a while, and not much else. I thought it was weird in a nice way but I actually don't like it at all. Another update: After trying a little more, because I found myself strangely drawn to it, and interested in smelling it again - It still smells like the aforementioned stale bubblegum in the bottom of a handbag, but it's addicting. LOL. So weird.

The opening is like a chemical shit storm on this.. once it dries down it becomes much more pleasant. I really don't get any orange anything. mostly Tonka beans sandalwood almost a coffee smell. slightly marshmallowy. No fruits, very little florals. i've had this one for about three years. Just picked it up again today. The opening is really offputting. If you can get past that, it is a pleasant scent.

Really a bubble gum smell, but in the beginning, in the dry down is boring. Very sweet, musky, long lasting and suffocating! I think a bottle is enough for a whole life. It has a power and sugary/marshmallow sweetness to kill you. I am wearing today "Armani Code Cashmere Giorgio Armani " and find it very, very similar to "Italiano Donna", but ACC is the better one.

This is basically just a cheap D&G Pour Femme dupe. It's a very good dupe, and I'd recommend it for those on a budget, but it isn't as nice as Pour Femme - though it does come very close. I have no idea what other reviewers are talking about with bubblegum or lipsmackers. It isn't a fruity perfume at all, it's a spicy sweet powdery floral light musk scent, just like pour femme. It isn't a sugary gourmand, like Kilian's Love Don't Be Shy - it has a vanilla marshmallow sweetness, but the spice/powder/musk/florals make it more of a sweet skin scent than a food scent. I've gone through MANY bottles of Pour Femme - it's one of my favorite scents. I bought this because reviewers said "it's similar but not the same" and that it's "grown up pour femme with longer staying power" which seemed ideal as I've worn a lot of Pour Femme and wanted to mix things up a bit and get a longer lasting fragrance. The main difference I noticed with this is the opening - pour femme tends to draw me in immediately, where as initial spraying of Italiano Donna makes me gag a bit - very harsh alcohol. The dry down of this is almost identical to pour femme, though. I can't tell much of a difference except that pour femme has a touch more spice and sweetness, though most people probably can't tell any difference. They both last equally long on my skin, which isn't very long and both require reapplication every 2-4 hrs. I'm pretty bummed out by this purchase - I got Italiano Donna for around $30 from one of the top trustworthy perfumery sites, hoping to expand my fragrance collection, now I feel like I have another bottle of something I already own. And for $30, I could have just bought a bottle of Pour Femme on ebay.

I honestly dislike this. I wanted to like it badly but there are notes bothering me in this perfume. Maybe the orange notes mixed with vanilla and musk or It could be the marshamallow. I decided to mix it with two other perfumes to create a whole new fragrance. It worked out in the end and balanced the notes that bothered me. Now I love the new fragrance that I semi-created. On the plus side it’s so cheap and the longevity of it is pretty good. Don’t get me wrong it smells amazing, it’s just something in it that my nose cannot tolerate for long

On my skin, this perfume smells like root beer! The scent stays close to my skin. I detect no hints of mandarin or any flowers. I wonder if I bought a bottle that is too old or had been exposed to too much heat, maybe? **Update: Since the time when I first wrote this review, I have realized that I dislike Tonka Beans 99% of the time. That explains why I didn't like this fragrance. It has more tonka bean than any other note!

What have we here? Little Red Riding Hood clad in wolf's clothing? Nice to meet you!!! I held in my hands a serious bottle encased in burgundy vegan leather deeply stamped with the Armaf logo and the name Italiano Donna. Adorned with gold lid and accents it felt hefty. With a masculine, old-money English country club appearance it could easily hold a creation from Creed or the like. But then the surprise! On the first spritz she revealed herself with a blast of sweet citrus candy and vanilla cream. Did I just open a bag of Skittles? Within moments an undercurrent of carnation mingled with sandalwood prevented her sweetness from becoming overwhelming. Exuding an innocent and carefree energy this scent instantly put me in a good mood and lifted my spirits. My teen daughter immediately wanted to steal her away from me! Not a chance! We'll just have to share... She could easily be classified as a gourmand. Hanae Mori is her distant cousin. I love both! Armaf continues to impress me. This is the second scent I purchased from this company and look forward to acquiring more of their creations in the future.

As heavy and intense as Sublime and I'm guessing Pour Femme Intense too. I cannot wear Sublime, I associated this strong scent with my piano polish detergent which I liked as a kid and Sublime is as strong, well stronger. The OG Pour Femme saved the day and night and gave me a chance to love this "piano polish" scent that I loved as a kid and makes me so nostalgic. It is softer and wearable with the signature D&G DNA in it. This one and Sublime are as loud and intense as that furniture polish and I cannot wear them, out in public at least and they give me a headache. I have Sublime and love the bottle otherwise Id have kept this one. I am prone to nausea as a person sooo if you're like me then Pour Femme is your girl.

Finally my Italiano Donna arrived today! I bought it because of the comparisons with D&G Pour Femme Intense. I have the simple Pour Femme not the Intense but this is a really good alternative and smells very similar. When I first sprayed it I could only smell the alcohol and a little bit of the fragrance which wasnt strong enough so I added a few more sprays and gave it some time so the alcohol would dry. After a few minutes I could smell my beloved D&G. I cant believe how close this one is to the real thing. I love the D&G, but I cant really use it for work as its too expensive, so I can save it for more important days and use Armaf for work.

So I finally worked up the nerve to purchase this, it was under $21 on eBay. This is very sweet and warm. It smells identical to Dolce&Gabbana pour femme intense. There is no marshmellow note in this, but omg it's the same fragrance. Same rich intensity. This is the second Armaf fragrance I own and so far so good. They are heavy strong and intense long lasting!! I'm a little upset being as though I own both. And didn't want a duplicate. But D&G is expensive. So This armaf will be used as a back up. THEY SMELL IDENTICAL.

i'm a guy and i purchased this by accident instead of going through the hassle of turning it back i kept it for the beautifully flavored gum feel it gives but the thing that made me hate it is some notes in it act as an accord that to me feels like a huge on your face " makeup bag " note . i really wish it was men friendly to my liking like many women perfumes , oh well ill give it up to make some girl's happiness .

When I first received this as gift a few years back. I thought oh fruity pebbles, new car, or like artificial fruit scented doll I had as kid. But that’s because my nose and taste wasn’t matured in fragrances yet. I was stubborn in only liking certain types. But now as I spray I do pick up the different notes and I love it. It’s very unique and I appreciate this fragrance and not smell like everyone else sometimes.

I LOVE the dry down of this fragrance. All the notes I love in a perfume. But there’s this annoying opening I have to deal with that puts me off, and I wish I didn’t need to endure that part of the fragrance journey to get to its dry down beauty. It’s almost like a hairspray, bug spray smell. I can even sniff it off the atomizer. Anyone else get this?? Is my nose broken?

This smells exactly like Dr. Pepper soda and is a deeper, spicier version of Rihanna’s celebrity fragrance Rouge. I’m not sure when it would be appropriate to wear this fragrance. You could wear it to work, but that doesn’t seem right. A date could work, but it’s almost too sweet and soda-like for a first date. I like this scent, but I’m not sure where it fits.

This smells like makeup.....if you know you know haha. It’s interesting. Great dupe for femme intense for sure which also gives the same vibes. It’s not what I expected given the notes. It’s interesting and kinda faint. Not a love for me but not a hate. Would I buy again probably not.

This is what I call posh bubble gum smell. My guilty pleasure! Do not tell anyone :D And yeah, it is very similar to D&G Pour Femme Intense. Edit: OMG :D I have bought a back-up bottle :D, cos it's even better in warm weather! Edit 2: 3rd bottle purchased :D
