Tuscany per Donna (1992)
by Estée Lauder

This is so feminine and classic perfume!
The fruity-herbal opening is strong juicy with peach-orange-plum
combination with green notes!
Rich and floral heart with prominent honeysuckle ,hyacinth and carnation notes...dries down to a most warm and woody sandal-amber-musk basenotes!
Great perfume ..warm sensual woody classic!

This is a supreme Italian-style scent. It compares favorably to the now-discontinued rare Venezia by Laura Biagiotti, considerably cheaper and easier to find. The only thing missing is the Japanese Wong-Shi flower. Still, this is very very close. I'm glad to have discovered this, because I'm running out of Venezia.

This has been my signature scent since 1995. I keep coming back to it, even after I discover something else that I totally love. I'm wearing it now and I can't even conceive of loving something more than TPD. It has everything I love in a scent---wood, spice, flowers and herbs. Think open hilly fields filled with wildflowers on a sunny day somewhere near Palermo. That's what I am reminded of when I wear it.

I would like to say that IF there was a parfume that could make me go nuts when ever a woman was whearing it... IT DEFINITELY was this one. Driving me crazy... So it was the parfume I also got for my wife. After 11 years there is no other parfume that makes me want to smell it until my nose hurts. I will pay what ever it costs to have it allways available for her.

After much anticipation, (spicy carnation? fruits of Italy? sounded so promising!) I find this stuff to be utterly......... ho hum.

Very Dept. Store, very ordinary, a faintly pleasant floral/orchard note in the drydown, and a faint, distant reminiscence of Albert Nippon, which I used to like. Also a faint, distant reference to Fendi's original scent, which I detested. Tuscany per Donna is quite loud and lasting, so at least one gets one's moneys worth, I suppose. Although it's a '92 launch, it makes me think of the big hair 80's in a totally major way, a decade I adored, and yet this represents like the totally most bogus part of the eighties, like just too Nancy Reagan, like I am so sure, y'know.

Very, very glad I got the little bitty tester vial instead of a bottle.

I love this perfume, too bad here in Belgium they don't sell it anymore (at least not were I live). I just like the way this smell stays 'open' at the end, like it's unfinished. I don't find it necessary that each perfume has to end with wood or amber and certainly not with vanilla. It's like you want to keep breathin' in deeper and deeper to reach the end of this smell... . It's a while ago since I've worn this, I think about 13 years... .
