Donna

I see the similarities with Floris White Rose but this is more pink roses with a big bunch of red carnations and rosewood. White Rose is white roses, white carnation and violet. This is much more carnation forward and unisex as well. I would love to get the Parfum form of this instead of the toilette sample I have. I do want this but I will try to find and spring for the Parfum version. The toilette version is a bit to weak. I just know the Parfum will be much more robust.

May Rose Water. A subtle fresh bouquet of roses floating into a cloud. A real feminin so natural perfume, a luminescent rose, absolutely not invasive, present but transparent, sourrounded by calming airy an humid "aquatic*" notes made with fresh woods and leaves and delicates flowers, minuscule spicies. A poetic scent. dragonfly wings. A little masterpiece. *not the synthetic aquatic notes, I mean the real water you can drink on a mountain little river.

Official site mentions both Rosa centifolia and Rosa Damascena. It is meant to be a rose perfume, yet I think of it as a Carnation one. It's always kinda there, blended with the rose, yet unmistakably there. One of the most beautiful carnation note I've ever encountered. Regardless of how someone approaches this, it's yet another example of the genius of Mr Villoresi. Good performance overall.

Its simple, classy , long lasting and very elegant

I was a little bit afraid to try this perfume. I have read some reviews where it was described as a rather strong scent – I expected something heavy, maybe a bit masculine... But what a nice surprise – this is beautiful, sublime perfume, without any sharp note! I JUST LOVE IT! It opens with bold wet roses mixed with ylang- ylang and jasmine. Some why it gives me an oily sensation - not wet, but oily and remembers Jean Patou Joy a little. There is no animalic note in D, but I guess it’s a mix of Rose, Ylang and Jasmine. After some hours it tries down, I can’t smell oiliness any more. It’s a time of iris and carnation. It turns more and more powdery...Just beautiful! The longevity is excellent – 8-9 hours. By my opinion it’s one of the most feminine scent I ever tried. It’s a Donna (woman in Italian) who is proud to be a women. She moves sinuously, speaks lowly, but everybody notices her and I guess Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct could been wearing it. PS! The morning I tried D I visited one shop. It was 3 hours later and I was spritzed just 3 times. One person ( a stranger and a man) asked me what perfume I was wearing as it was so amazingly good...He was in distance of 1,5 m from me. And there was another person nearby who was nodding the head and repeating :”really good!” I was in absolute embarrassment... :-)
