LA RIVE Donna is an Eau de Parfum. Donna opens with Lemon, Mandarin, and Apple, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Cedar. LA RIVE's Donna carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

If you're after the D&G Light Blue vibe without the designer price tag, Donna is a no-brainer. It's a fresh, zesty citrus blast that gets the job done, even if it might not hang around as long as its expensive cousin. A crowd-pleasing dupe that's perfect for everyday spritzing.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Donna opens with an immediate and unapologetic zing of lemon, brightened by crisp green apple and a hint of juicy mandarin. As the initial citrus burst settles, delicate floral notes of rose, jasmine, and aquatic lotus emerge, adding a touch of soft femininity. The drydown grounds the scent in a clean, subtle base of musk, warm amber, and dry cedar, keeping the overall impression light and airy.
