Sergio Tacchini Donna

A quintessential 90s scent for me! Oh man, how I appreciate the well-made wholesome perfumes of those days, esp. after having tried so many other types and trends of perfume styles. Yes, it's not long-lasting which is expected from Eau de Toilette - 2-3 hour tops and only the first hour has any sillage to mention. But there is zero alcohol smell or any cheaper-smelling base even at the moment of application. What I mean is with most 90s scents, and with ST Donna in particular, you don't have to wait it out while the scent is settling, there is no unpleasant initial stage after spraying. ST Donna is light and airy, but not weak, it has its distinct personality with the very noticeable aquatic motif.To me it's more aquatic than fruity or floral, but it's not ocean-y or beach-y. It doesn't have that salty ozonic sandy feeling to it. There is a slight herbal bitterness in this composition that comes from water-lily or lotus note that could be perceived as a bit musty if it wasn't off-set by pineapple freshness. 20 years ago I would not be too crazy about this perfume, as it is simple, but classy, as in color "off-white". Now these types of scents are interesting and refreshing in more than just olfactory sense of the word.

I'm a man, and I'm using this scent. Please don't get me wrong, but I found out it's suitable with man somehow! It's a big surprise that this scent was launched in 1988, and it is being produced up to now, enought to prove it is a really good scent, excellent, unique that I couldn't find an alternatives out there! It's on my top list of recommendation I love all the products by Sergio Tacchini! But I wonder why it's not really easy to find Sergio Tacchini products on the line :-s I had so much difficulties to have this Donna, and keep wondering what if I use it out :-s

This was my signature scent 1-2 years in highschool. Really liked it. Absolutely lovely, and in harmony with the white color. Very fresh and feminine, moderate sillage and longevity.

I love this perfume, I fell in love with it few years ago and it suits my skin totally! There are only few parfums my skin likes and Donna is one of them! Perfect! <3

Fragrantica, this perfume was released in 1998. The ozonic/aquatic trend only started somewhere in the middle/late 90's. Also, like Vickalena said the notes are wrong too. ST Donna is a great summer fragrance. It smells like sea and summer fruits. It's like carrying the smell of the beach and fruit cocktails wherever you go. The amount of fruit notes is very well balanced with the other ones and ST's composition was created in order to make the sea note stand out, which makes it a super fresh and exotic scent. The lasting power isn't the best one ( about 3/4hrs), but you can't expect much more from a summer perfume, because they're so light. I can relate with the similarities of Ôui, however Ôui is more floral/fruity, while ST Donna is more on the ozonic/aquatic side, which makes them very different scents. Edit: Some people wear this in Spring, but I think it's in the Summer when this baby really shines - it takes heat to smell the sea note. On Spring it smells just like any other aquatic/fruity/floral, like millions of others out there. .
