Born in Roma the Gold Donna

“I lucked up and found an authentic new bottle on Mercari last week. I love it. Someone here said that it smells like the original Donna. Well, I have OG Donna and I compared them last night and the only similarity to me was they both have a heady floral moment which lasts longer in the OG, but the floral notes are completely different. For me, this was a love at first sniff. I wish this were permanent.”

“I’ve owned this for months and boy has it gotten even more beautiful. I used to smell a pineapple note. It is definitely a gardenia bomb, but so beautifully sweet and fruity. It’s sunny, tropical. It’s lovely. But it’s super sweet. So if loud, sweet fragrances are your jam, it’s a safe blind buy. If you like Alien Goddess, then you will love this because the sillage and performance are exceptional compared to AG. It’s smells like a flanker of Alien Goddess with a heavy gardenia note.”

“The opening is quite "generic" and nothing special. I didn't like it. After around 30 minutes, something smelled fresh, warm and more interesting.I tried this perfume and another one on each wrist, and this one lasted and actually floated in the air around me reaching my nose without me having to smell right up close to the skin.I can't smell the mandarin, it smells more like neroli! Neroli, coconut and amber. Both me and my boyfriend liked it. Seems to might be a good fit for both winter and summer!”
