Luciano Soprani Donna

LUCIANO SOPRANI “DONNA” This opens with an exuberant fruity cornucopia full of ripe mellow peaches, tartly succulent black currents, and bright citrus. A ripe juicy dark plum soon follows woven through exquisitely with regal iris, velvety smooth roses, sweetly non-indolic jasmine, and fresh peony petals. A gentle subdued amber and discreet vanilla provide a warmly sensuous base. My skin picks up everything positive from this lovely composition and I adore it. Delicate, but more fresh than sweet; elegant, yet warmly vivacious and lively. A feeling of carefree luxury and abandon. Uplifting, tenderly sensual, outspokenly feminine, charming, and candid. Brings to mind a beautiful woman relaxing in a lovely plum orchard garden surrounded by wild roses, scattered iris flora, verdant peony bushes, and luxuriant jasmine climbing about through the antique iron benches with birds chirping all around and sunlight flickering through the leaves. I hope to always have this delectable scent in my collection.

I forgot bout this one, its incredible. So very elegant. Fresh, sweet, and then soft. The top notes are extremely citrus, then the heart is floral with a warm vanilla powdery dry down. On me, it takes on a sensory contradiction, clean then warm. I love it and will be needing it again soon for summer nights out.

I adore this smell. It is rare and very unusual smell. For first date! It opens every hour with new note!Highly recommended!

I purchased this in EDT form, completely blind. I had been sent a sample of the eponymous Luciano Soprani, a completely different fragrance than Donna, and absolutely gorgeous! Because of that I wanted to try others from this house, and Donna is what I chose. What a scrumptious little dight this is!! In many ways, it could be another of the Hermes Jardin series. The top is fruity and fresh, sweet but far from cloying. When the florals make an appearance - mostly peony at first - there is enough restraint that they are noticeable but do not beat you over the head. This is not a "bomb" of any sort! Many fragrances can be compared to sitting in a garden on a warm day, but this one really conjures up that image for me. I think I love it! So far, I am quite impressed with this house, and I look forward to trying others. The name fits, as it is quite feminine in my opinion. 8/12/2020 - I purchased this back in January, and with all the craziness of this year, this got lost amongst my bottles and I forgot about. Today I remembered it, and it's the first wearing in the warm weather. Still stunning, but even better. I sprayed with abandon (it's an EDT), and right now I am very content just sitting here and letting the beauty wash over me. I simply can not believe that a perfume of this quality was to be had for basically the cost of a movie ticket in NYC, back when we were able to do those things!

@Action. I have a very hard time trying to compare Donna to anything. Although the notes don't seem too complicated or unusual, the combination is very unique. Even though it's a casual floral, I would not call it "one of many florals out there". Wonderful perfume, innocent and elegant. Lasts for at least 4 hours on me, which is great for this type of scent.
