GFF Donna

First of all, I am impressed at how many 'dislikes' this perfume has. Maybe it's because of the initial blast, which is weird and harsh, but it disappears after five minutes the most. To me there's absolutely nothing woody or chypre about this perfume. It's an elegant and soft, HUGE floral, very 'Italian' by the way. It's not very common and boring too. Most prominent note for me is jasmin. A hint of honey is there too, I think. Adorable, suitable for those who like pure florals. I can't stop sniffing my wrist! It brings a spring image on my mind. Such a nice image, isn't it? :D

I smelled it some time ago searching for a new bottle of the former GFF version (I finally decided not to rebuy it) and I liked it. It is an inoffensive scent that resembles baby powder a little bit. This is what I got from it, as it was very different from the former GFF version (which was a unisex scent). I think that one can't go wrong with this perfume. I get the feeling that it will never be a love at first sight (smell) but it will be a pleasantly wearable perfume, especially for the morning before going to work. Probably nice for every age.

I used to hate this perfume - a blind buy, disappointed when it came, it was just too havy to me. Then I took it with me when I went to Italy to visit my mom - this was in 2011. I still have it and now I love it. Every time I snuff it it reminds me of my mom, of Italy, old and beautiful furnitures in the house, wonderful memories. I love the feeling that it gives me.

Leave it to the italians to make a female fougere in the late 90s. There isnt many out there so its a unique treasure that opened herbal then morphs into a hybrid animalic chypre. How fun for hardened perfumistas. Night wear or have a big personality to pull it off.

This is a very interesting scent. I didn't know what to think at first as it reminded me of Arpege and I can't wear that one ... there's something in it that goes sour on my skin. This perfume is starting to grow on me. I bought it when I saw it has lavender. It's a beautiful scent ... it's a bit dry compared to the popular sweet scents these days .. the sweetness toned down by the sage and cardamon .. I guess. I don't really smell jasmin unless that's the sweetness in this perfume, but I think the blend is so good I can't really pick out individual notes. It's very elegent and will be lovely in the spring and summer.
