Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

About

Opening with a flourish of rich rosewood and vibrant rose, accented by the peppery spice of carnation and a hint of coriander, Donna immediately declares its presence. The heart unfolds into a sophisticated bouquet where creamy jasmine and ylang-ylang intertwine with the powdery elegance of iris and violet leaf. Finally, it settles into a warm, sensual embrace of musk, creamy sandalwood, and the distinct, slightly green aroma of narcissus, leaving a memorable trail.
