Biagiotti Due Donna

This should be proclaimed a national perfume of italy, like an anthem! It is absolutely everything an italian woman ( in her natural environment ;) ) is to me, and I have known many through work and some more through play! :) It is like a full bosom jumping inadvertently out of a tight bustier at you! what a complete, self-sufficient, proud and joyful perfume! It is like Poeme from Lancome, but before retirement. :) I think of women like Monica Bellucci, Ornella Muti ( pre-bleach and other stuff ) Nigela Lawson even! Wine, great food, gorgeous men, sun going down every day with a promise instead of a regret - all that and more has been captured in a rather modern-looking bottle with a creamy pink juice. I get rose, magnolia, sandalwood and surprisingly something aquatic too, just a hint of a sea breeze in there. Grab a bottle if u see one (It lasts for ages too!).

So well done, what a nice scent! It isn't something one would smell everywhere. The initial blast is grassy, reminds me of Juba oil by Body Shop, which I used to wear as a 19 y.old student. Fortunately it vanishes quickly and an ambery, slightly 'saulty' rose, with some hints of tender magnolia is revealed. Then the scent deepens and becomes almost romantic. It's a mild, subtle and classy scent, stays close to the skin. It also lasts long on me. I think this perfume is suitable for all ages but would suit younger women better(<45 y.old). IMHO, it's a daytime scent and goes better with a casual dressing style. ADD I value this scent more and more each day. It's one of the scents I'm wearing at my work (at school), it really makes me feel nice.

Ok ladies, just run and get this perfume if you like the scent of roses. I don't know how did they do this but this is a beautiful bouquet of stunning roses. It's just corked and you can spray it on your wrist actually. Got my bottle today and for a long while I explored the flat and slick bottle enjoying the touch a lot I have to admit. Crazy? touch it for yourself and join the fan club. The scent is delicate, feminine, lots of beautiful roses in the opening but then there is this little something which does not allow the fragrance to smell cheap, must be the little bit of wood and amber. Another success of Laura Biagiotti, Love it !!

Just received it today and I must admit it's love at first sniff. On me it's a powdery floral, very very feminine but modern. Not old school sharp strong scent. I found that I cannot ever go wrong with a Biagiotti perfume. Used to love them 25 years ago and still love them today. Somehow they all seem timeless. Or is it just my nostalgia playing games? Either way, this one is beautiful and very wearable any time, any season. Lasts a good few hours.

Ooooh. Pleasantly surprised, didn't expect much out of this one to be honest. Delightful. I can't help but smile when I smell it. I get a heap of smooth, creamy jasmine, sandalwood, jammy, young, pink rose, a smidgen of golden ambery citrus and pure pleasure. There's no bitterness, no greenness, just a cloud of flowery-woody-balsamic-vaguely vanillic-semicitrusy goodness. Mm.
