Sergio Tacchini Donna is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1988. Donna opens with Water Lily, Bergamot, Lotus, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Sergio Tacchini's Donna carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This 90s aquatic floral is a real nostalgia trip, divisive for sure, but a simple, clean scent that still feels surprisingly modern. It's a 'love it or leave it' for many, but its easy-going charm keeps it relevant.

Its light, fresh, and inoffensive character makes it perfect for the office or casual daytime wear, though its modest longevity of 2-4 hours means reapplication is needed. While some reviewers call it a good 'everyday fragrance,' its aquatic and fruity notes make it shine in warm weather casual settings, but it lacks the gravitas for formal events.

About

Donna opens with a bright, zesty burst of pineapple and bergamot, quickly joined by the distinct, cool freshness of water lily and lotus evoking a serene aquatic feel. The heart blooms with classic white florals of lily of the valley and jasmine, adding a delicate femininity. It settles into a soft, comforting base of warm sandalwood, musky amber, and a whisper of vanilla, providing a gentle close to its fresh journey.
