I do like , though it definitely isn’t my favorite. I’ve probably used it a few times a month for several years. I’m still using the smaller bottle that I originally purchased, so I obviously don’t use it very much. When I first apply this, it really isn’t very sweet smelling. I smell something like leather at first. It does turn sweeter once it’s been on my skin for about an hour and the leather (or whatever it is😂) blends in really well with the sweet, but not too sweet, floral elements. There’s a lot of rose, some iris, a bit of powder. This is definitely very feminine and lasts most of the day. It’s noticeable when someone is close to me, but it doesn’t fill up the room and make people feel overwhelmed.

I absolutely love this perfume ans always get so many compliments anytime i wear it! Its feminine and warm. It works so well with my body chemistry. I am a vanilla kinda gworl and you can smell the notes of it but it's perfectly balanced with the others. The only cons i have is that it doesn't last as long as i think it should for the price point but still its worth it. I've been searching for years for MY signature scent and THIS is it! Try it ladies! You wont regret it.

I am extremely impressed with the perfume. It comes in a very pretty neon yellow/green box but the real catch is how beautiful the perfume itself looks. It's in a glass bottle which will look gorgeous in any bathroom or bedroom. The smell lasts all day, and it's floral. (reminds me of Gardenias a bit) with a slight musk to it. I would definitely recommend on a night out, to work, or just to feel a bit fancy on a daily. I cannot get over how beautiful the bottle itself is and how the black accent makes it stand out from other bottles in my collection. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is looking for something that looks and feels more luxurious. I am usually a fan of Marc Jacobs perfumes but I think that from now on, I will stick to Valentino as ... MoreI am extremely impressed with the perfume.

From fragrantica: Top notes are Bergamot and Grapefruit; middle notes are Iris, Bulgarian Rose and Praline; base notes are Leather, Vanilla and Patchouli. This is a beautiful scent! The bottle is so stunning and luxurious! It starts as light and airy sweet floral, then dries down to a sort of powdery sweet rosy vanilla. Rating 4 starts because I am not a fan of patchouli, but this one is okay for me, it’s not too strong and blends very well with the rest of the notes. Valentino luxury!

Valentino Donna wears a transparent pink shirt like a sparkling soul diamond. Valentino Donna scent has a classic - modern style. Valentino Donna carries the lightness and passion of the oriental floral scent group. The perfume bottle opens with the cool, delicious flavor of succulent pear. It also exudes the fresh, soft scent of sweet almonds. The top note gently blends and gradually dissolves into the air to be replaced by frangipani. Sweet and smooth frangipani flowers bring irresistible charm. Intertwined with the elegant, pure scent of white jasmine. Finally, it ends with the warmth and gentleness of sandalwood and camellia flowers. The night comes with an overall look full of style and appeal. Valentino Donna perfume is suitable for use in cold weather like today.

This was a blind buy and i am not mad at it! This smell is sooo nice and floral and it last all day. The bottle is beautiful and blends well amongst my other fragrances. I willl be using this as an everyday scent because it projects without overpowering. I got it for 80 bucks on the tj maxx website.

Perfection in a bottle

This is my all time favorite fragrance.It’s perfect. It’s elegant and beautiful. Please bring it back. This truly saddens me. It’s such a unique scent. I feel like I will never find anything else like it.

The Best Valentino

This is Valentino’s original ”Donna” fragrance — my favorite and my sweetheart’s favorite too. Alas, it is very hard to find. There are lots of Donna offshoots, but none as gently long lasting as this lovely one. I hear “What are you wearing?” compliments hours after spraying it on. I sure wish Valentino would keep the original in production.

has there been a reformulation?

i first bought this product in europe during this past summer and while i didn’t like it immediately because i felt it was too masculine (i’m assuming the leather note), i absolutely fell in love with the soft, powdery vanilla dry down and its wear throughout the day. i quickly finished my bottle and realized how hard it is to get here in the states as it’s. or sold at sephora which is where i bought it in Europe. i finally recently ordered the 3.4 oz bottle from this site and i can’t believe how different it smells. there is such a strong bright citrus note that wasn’t there in my previous bottle and overall the fragrance doesn’t dry down as beautifully as it used to. my first bottle had a rounded, well balanced scent while this one is too sharp and bright.if you ... Morei first bought this product in europe during this past summer and while i didn’t like it immediately because i felt it was too masculine (i’m assuming the leather note), i absolutely fell in love with the soft, powdery vanilla dry down and its wear throughout the day. i quickly finished my bottle and realized how hard it is to get here in the states as it’s. or sold at sephora which is where i bought it in Europe. i finally recently ordered the 3.4 oz bottle from this site and i can’t believe how different it smells. there is such a strong bright citrus note that wasn’t there in my previous bottle and overall the fragrance doesn’t dry down as beautifully as it used to. my first bottle had a rounded, well balanced scent while this one is too sharp and bright.if you look online, you can find different notes listed for the same fragrance depending on the site it’s sold on which leads me to believe that there must’ve been a reformulation at some point. very disappointed as my og bottle is at its last drops and i recently ordered another bottle from a different site hoping it will be like the one i used to have.

signature fragrance

I have been using this fragrance for years, and it’s become my holy grail. It’s a long lasting fragrance, I still smell it on my skin after a shower!! It’s floral but not rosey. It’s sophisticated and grown up! Always get complements when I wear it. I actually prefer this Donna fragrance to the other Valentino Donna born in Roma ones. They seem too juvenile for me and not as long lasting.
