Donna

Trussardi Donna (2011) created by Nathalie Lorson to celebrate the centenary of the maison, this perfume is the essence of Italian elegance: bright, clean and sophisticated without ever being excessive. The opening is an explosion of freshly vaporized light, the perfume is striking for its liveliness. Yuzu and Amalfi Lemon offer a citrus freshness that is not sour, but rather sweet and juicy, thanks to a mix of generic fruity notes that make the onset sunny and sparkling. White Floral Femininity after about 15-20 minutes, the fragrance reveals its more romantic side. Jasmine and Orange Blossom create a clean, almost "soapy" bouquet in the noblest sense of the term. The lotus note adds an aquatic, transparent nuance, preventing the white flowers from becoming too heavy or cloying. The magic happens in the dry-down. Vanilla and Sandalwood emerge creating a creamy and velvety base that recalls the smell of clean skin after a day in the sun. Patchouli and Cedar give structure, but remain very discreet, guaranteeing excellent and enveloping persistence over time. Trussardi Donna is the ideal perfume for those looking for a fragrance that communicates cleanliness, class and brightness. It is the perfect choice if you love perfumes that smell of "good" and "white", but with a creamy base that avoids the too pungent effect of pure citrus fruits. It reminds me of a softer, sunnier version of Dior's Pure Poison.

This Is Such A Beautiful Classy "BRIGHT, CLEAN, FRESH, PERFECTLY UP-LIFTING FRAGRANCE" That's NOT Too Over Powering With Heavy Citrus Nor Sour Notes!! (It Actually Reminds Me Of Freshly Baked Yummy Lemon Meringue Pie) It's Expertly Blended, And Smells So Soft And Nice On My Skin!! (And I'm NOT One Who Usually Buy's Any Perfume That Has Lemon/Citrus Notes In It's Structure) Simple Because I Find That Lemon Or Citrus Notes The Longer They Sit/Wear On My Skin, Are Inclined To Turn VERY Sour And Unpleasant On Me, So I Have To Be Most Careful In My Choice, And Really Test Them Out On My Skin Over A Period Of A Good Few Day's!! ( I CAN NEVER BLIND BUY THEM) And On Most Occasions I Simply Have To Walk Away From Them!! Yet This One Is Absolute PERFECTION On My Skin, As Is "GUERLAINS SHALIMAR SOUFFLE Edp - Which Is Also Soft, Sweet, Lemony Fresh And So Up-Lifting"!! As There Both Not Citrus Bombs, And Ideal For Spring/Summer - Warm Sunny Day's, Perfect When Heading Of To A Warmer Climate, Or When One Want's To Simply Smell Shower Fresh, And Up-Lifted All Day Long Without Smelling Over Powering Nor Over The Top!!

Every time I feel like decluttering this, something stops me. It’s a beautiful scent; it’s a luxurious bar of Italian lemon-scented soap. The bottle is stunning, classic, elegant and mature. But while I can appreciate its beauty, in bottle and in juice, when I spray it on myself, I find it difficult to connect with it. It doesn’t feel like me; it feels like someone I’m trying to be. Still, it takes me to a certain time and place, like the Venetian era, and its transportative quality is what’s probably making me hold on to it. There’s a coldness about it, in feeling, like white marble statues, but I’m drawn to it because it smells clean and like old money. I find the patchouli non-dominating, which is how I like it, but perhaps with the cedar in the base, it turns bitter on my skin. Overall, it’s a pleasant scent, but there’s a little tug-of-war between it being old-fashioned vs. timeless.

This smells like a very nice and expensive shampoo. I sprayed it all over my hair and body and it was so fluffy so clean smelling so lovely! It smells like you just got out of the shower and the smell of the products you used has decided to waft around you in a rather big bubble as this has nice projection and sillage. Its perfect for what it is, a clean shampooy femine fragrance. The last shampooy clean fragrance I had was Prada La Femme and I absolutely hated that one, it smelled more like a hair conditioner. This is everything I wished that was. Although it smells shampooy it doesn't smell soapy, which I dislike soapy fragrances. This actually smells fluffy, clean, and everything I have been searching for in a shampooy perfume to add to my collection. Now I wish I had an actual shampoo to use that smelled like this. Absolute Hit! Beautiful rose and fruit scented shampoo perfume!

This is lovely. It smells light, airy, extremely sweet and optimistic. Super clean and pleasant. It's also well-blended and no notes really stand out to me, it's just an overall scent experience. It does remind me of the colour white, and of hanging over the side of a boat on a warm sunny day, enjoying the feeling of the ocean misting against my skin. It's a very happy perfume that makes me nostalgic for "the good life". Something that doesn't exist in reality, or at least not in my reality, but it makes me think of being someone who has everything, and is enjoying it without any guilt or care in the world. It's like choosing to block out the news, and to close your eyes to the suffering of the people around you and just enjoy your life to the fullest.
