Tempore Donna (1999)
by Laura Biagiotti

Wow, scenteur7 hit the nail on the head with his comparison to Allure...But I would qualify the comparison by adding that TD is Allure's sexy Italian cousin. This is another very nice number from Laura Biagiotti, una donna (e naso) veramente incredibile. Tempore Donna is *not* the most outstanding fragrance she has released; nevertheless, it is nothing less than delightful. Top notes: Lemon, Peach, Mandarin, Pineapple. / Middle notes: Freesia, Violet, Jasmine, Orris. / Base notes: Vanilla, Sandal, Cedar, Vetiver. To my nose, the top notes are very similar to those of Allure and Burburry's London (that is, the scent previously titled London, but now re-named "Classic," I believe...) Dominant notes: Peach/apricot, a very light pineapple, a confident vanilla, a very shy freesia, and a sweet sandal. Very nice, indeed.

Wonderful vanilla oriental with fresh floral and citrus topnotes. Reminds me of Chanel's Allure, though slightly richer in the basenotes. Not Biagiotti's best, but a great scent nonetheless.
