Laura Biagiotti Tempore Donna is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1999, created by Ursula Wandel. Tempore Donna opens with Lemon, Mandarin, Peach, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Violet, Lily Of The Valley, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Dark Chocolate, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Laura Biagiotti's Tempore Donna carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This 90s gem is a delightful paradox: a gourmand that's not overly sweet, a fruity burst with a dark, woody backbone. It's a comforting yet sophisticated classic that's garnered a loyal following, though a few find the opening a bit much or the chocolate elusive. A 'love it or hate it' of the 90s.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal

While generally soft, its sweet and gourmand facets might be a bit too inviting for a formal office setting. It shines on dates and formal events due to its sensual and refined nature, and works well casually for those who enjoy a comforting, sweet scent. It's definitely not for sport.

About

Tempore Donna opens with a vibrant, juicy splash of peach and pineapple, brightened by mandarin and lemon before settling into a soft floral heart of jasmine, violet, and freesia. The dry down is where the magic happens, a creamy blend of dark chocolate and vanilla, grounded by warm cedar, sandalwood, and a hint of earthy vetiver. It smells like a sophisticated chocolate dessert with a fresh fruity topping.
