Diva

by Jacques Polge

Emanuel Ungaro Diva is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1983, created by Jacques Polge. The fragrance opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Aldehydes, and Tuberose, settles into a heart of Orris, Rose, Jasmine, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Civet, Iris, and Honey.

Our verdict on Diva: Acquired

A love-it-or-hate-it powerhouse from the 80s, Diva is not for the faint-hearted. It's bold, unapologetic, and demands attention. You'll either adore its opulent, vintage charm or find it overwhelmingly dated.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Diva's potent sillage and nuclear longevity make it unsuitable for an office environment, but it shines on dates and formal occasions. Its strong, unapologetic character is generally too much for casual wear, though some enjoy its 'boss b*tch' confidence in specific relaxed settings.

About

Opening with a vigorous burst of aldehydic fizz and bright citrus mandarin, Diva quickly settles into a rich, complex floral heart of rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang, underpinned by spicy carnation and earthy orris. The dry down is a deeply sensual tapestry of civet, honey, and oakmoss, softened by sandalwood and a hint of vanilla, leaving a warm, animalic trail.
