Hey Lovely Maria, thank you for inviting me. I agree with you: Donna EDP is perfection. Perfection because each note comes and melts with each other. None of them are too much. The florals gives a great support to the citrus notes and vanilla and sandalwood brings a creamy quality that is so charming. Longevity on my skin it’s not that great but I don’t mind at all. I bring a decant with me and reapply as necessary. The EDT is brighter and a bit bitter but what I love the most is the Jasmin tea vibes that EDT exudes. It’s perfect for Summer days. I notice that the EDT and EDP dry down are quite similar and indeed EDT has poor performance. The Intense version was a beauty to my nose until vanilla came too strong and kinda ruined the party. Intense is a perfect mix of EDP and EDT with a huge dose of vanilla and patchouli. Patchouli here is clean which I appreciate but with the vanilla overpowering every other note is hard to envoy all the beautiful notes the original EDP has. Intense lasts forever on my skin. Close to 10 hours, but after the wonderful opening the only thing I can smell is vanilla and patchouli. For that reason, EDP is a winner for me too. Yay twinsies 👯👯🎉
I've recently bought the EDP and it's absolutely beautiful! I agree, it really is very uplifting and lasts well. Maria, you are my absolute favourite perfume TH-camr and I always enjoy your videos so much! Keep up the good work 👏 xx
Edp definitely! I adore it. It was my first freshie, i heard someone said : its freshie for non lovers of freshie. And i totally sgree, it has lemon freshness but still sweet and really nice balanced. Not too sweet, not too harsh. When i need energy boost i put this one on.
I'm so glad I found your channel. Love the imagery you describe with each fragance. I have this on my cart (the EDP) to use as my job fragance. I'm a fashion illustration professor and this perfume seems like it would perfect for that - fresh which I love but also elegant
Thank you for your fantastic reviews! I adore both the EDP and EDT. The prices, fragrances, and bottles are just stellar. Looking forward to trying the Intense version. 🥰 So excited to try Delicate Rose!
I Love Trussardi Donna EDP. It’s amazing! Have you tried Signature from Mont Blanc EDP? It’s similar but more creamy, sweet and vanilla. I really find them both very very similar and beautiful 🤍
I just purchased the "goccia a goccia" one, it doesn't last at all but is very lovely. If anyone is interested in it, know that you can tip the bottle and decant it with a funnel.
Thank you Maria. I tried to order the edp about a month ago based on your recommendation and that of Cris from Perfume Nest. I trust both of your reviews and knowledge of scents. I think your taste and mine are similar. Unfortunately Fragrance Net was sold out. Try,, try again ha!! Thanks for a thorough job on this video.
Great review, Maria! Love the cap of the intense version. I own the EDP formulation, but also the Pink Marina and Delicate Rose. The Pink Marina version to me is a bit lighter/ brighter version of the EDP with a fresh salty note which makes it a bit more airy and I adore it just as much as the EDP. The longevity on my skin is also great. The first couple of times I used the EDP it wore off quite fast and found it also not really projecting very much, but the longer I own it the better it gets! I haven’t wore the Delicate Rose much yet, because I think it’s more suitable for spring and summer. But it is my least favorite of all 3 so far. Will try it again once the weather gets warmer over here.
I bought the EDP not long ago and have not yet given it a full wear test. I wore it on my hand when I first got it and could hardly smell it. But I bought a bunch of fragrances that day and I think I wore out my poor nose. I am looking forward to trying it out soon. Especially now that spring is trying to arrive.
Maria, this was a fantastic review of the Donna family of fragrances. I love the Donna EDP and can now make a better decision if I choose to buy others in the line.
Thank you Maria. I always wanted to try Donna but wondered which one...to try. I wear 'A way to Her' and 'My Scent' by Trusardi. Gorgeous melon fruity in one and a lovely powdery heliotrope on a rainy day in the other which I love adore.
Thanks for the very useful comparison! I tried a decant of the EDP, and want to buy a bottle, but love the greyhound head cap! Oh well, I'd rather smell nice than have a fancy cap!
Perfect timing. I bought it 2 days ago and waiting for it to arrive. EDP was sold out so I went with intense. I hope it will smell good. Otherwise I’ll source an EDP offshore (I’m in New Zealand). I’m excited about cozy and clean fragrances while I’m still working from home as we are rolling into autumn now.
Let me know how you like it!! If you find the dry down slightly bitter then I think the edp will be better. That said the intense may work great for winter!!
@@mariacollettlife it’s really interesting. A powder explosion and a shot of candied lemon. Then this yummy clean woody musk. It can feel like it disappears but apparently others can smell it 😁. It smells classy, clean and expensive - I don’t really get any flowers. Maybe a magnolia type scent? Any patchouli is quiet. I’m itching to get the EDP and compare/contrast the two. Luckily no bitterness or sourness. My skin makes things really sweet (can be a bad thing) so I’m cautious. I really enjoy it but notes aren’t very distinct.
This video came just in time. I was looking to purchase Donna but was unsure which concentration would be best. EDP sounds like the winner for me. I want to have the lemon scent throughout day. I love Idole so Delicate Rose sounds very interesting to me. TFS💕
Lemon can lean a bit harsh on me so I could see the intense being a better option for me with that vanilla in the dry down ,does it have a vibe of sweet pastry in Paris ? Which is more like a lemon cake just baked ! Delicate rose one does sound lovely ,I’m sure I’d love it Really great review Hugs 💗
🗣Hi Maria, This Is Also One Of My ALL-TIME Favourite Perfumes!! (TRUSSARDI DONNA Edp) And Im NOT One Who Really Enjoys Lemon/Citrus In A Fragrance, As Most Go Sour On My Skin!! However, I Find This Bright, Fresh And VERY Up-Lifting!! Im Also Told That "Camilla The Queen Consort" Often Reaches For This Very Fragrance In Spring/Summer -Away On Royal Duties To Warmer Climates!! So There You Go Girl!!! Total Perfection In A Bottle!!!! Xx
Donna EDP sounds like what I would be interested in. Not so much the others. But your videos are always great. I would watch if you were selling tires. 💛💙
I live in a country which has hot climate. Which one should I get between the EDT and EDP? Since you said that you might choose EDT over the EDP if you live in a hotter climate.
I have heard some say that they find the edp cloying in the heat. It's a lot more dense so maybe in your winter use the edp..if it's super hot, go with the edt for sure! It's very beautiful but not as creamy smelling as the edp....it would be perfect for the hotter weather
Trussardi Donna EDP Intense is a bit old school and that patchouli note is to blame. Still lovely, but I'd only want a small bottle to top off the EDP in the evening. Sadly, not an option. I have the EDT and I love it to go walking outside, I probably would not repurchase. I had Pink Marina and sold it. It's pleasant, but didn't reach for it because is not interesting enough. The citrus in that fell flat for me. Trussardi Donna EDP is a masterpiece, hands down.
Hi Marie, loved your review and really appreciate hearing the comparisons between them. I have the edp but wondered if the edt would have been a better choice for summer. I'm so glad I chose the edp now, although being a greyhound enthusiast, I'd really, really love that intense bottle, lol. Many thanks, Deb.
I actually thought of you when I realized it was a greyhound! 🤣. The edt is fantastic for summer. They both work in the heat but it doesn’t get super hot and humid here.
@@mariacollettlife it's probably way different then Donna. Sound of Donna is creamy nutty, it has almond and chestnut. To me it has a bit of a boozy quality like almond liquor although there isn't any alcohol note in it. It's more labeled as a fall/winter scent but I wear it year round actually. It gets compared to girl of now but I prefer SOD because GON can be a bit sharp while SOD is a bit softer because of the whipped cream note it has.
@@louiseleite3866 I don't get many floral notes, just puffy soft and white "to me" cloud. I am not good at describing scents, but if you read reviews on fragrantica you'll get better idea. I agree with all reviewers there. It's beautiful scent and afordable too. I regretting buying smaller battle. I hope it helps..
I've got the EDP and I've worn it a few times but, on me, it's sort of fleeting and forgettable. I need to try it again and see if my impression has changed. Judging from all of the positive comments, I'm beginning to wonder if I might be partially anosmic to it?
It’s possible. The reality is that you just may not like it and that’s okay! There are some frags that everyone seems to love and I just think they are mediocre! 😀
I don't really like the edp. I found it too floral. I liked the lemon in it but then that floral comes in and after that I don't like it :( I love the bottle
It’s totally true. Do you like them? How are you seeing them differently? I think it’s important to share if you disagree with me or see it differently as it gives people a better idea! 😀.
I do like it but It doesn’t last on me! I have a bottle of the Trussardi Donna EDP and a bottle of the Mont Blanc signature. Please contact me if anyone is interested. MB only sprayed two times- Trussardi three - they’re almost 100% full
@@christinawong6826 I’m in California. I sold the Trussardi but I still have the Mont Blanc if you’re interested. I could post it on POSHMARK (not Pinterest:)

Trussardi Donna EDP is in my top ten for life!!! I love the citrusy fresh opening, and adore the pretty girl scent bubble!
Edp definitely! I adore it. It was my first freshie, i heard someone said : its freshie for non lovers of freshie. And i totally sgree, it has lemon freshness but still sweet and really nice balanced. Not too sweet, not too harsh.

They are both so good. I’m still thinking I may snag delicate rose. It’s so pleasant!
I have the regular EDP, and I love it. I gave it to my niece as a gift, and she loved it so much that she is going to wear it on her wedding day.
Oh wow! That’s so cool that she is wearing it as her wedding scent!!💕💕
❤❤❤amazing review, thanks a lot! I've all of them and really enjoy myself
Donna EDP is in my top 3 fragrances. 💗Great review!
I agree.
I Love Trussardi Donna EDP. It’s amazing! Have you tried Signature from Mont Blanc EDP? It’s similar but more creamy, sweet and vanilla. I really find them both very very similar and beautiful 🤍
I love the Mont Blanc signature I’ll have to try this too now
I’ve been tempted to get it. I’ve heard so much about it!
I have signature and have always wondered if they were similar
I don’t understand the love for either of these. They are so faint I can barely smell them after a few minutes:-((
I guessed as much. I have the signature so I'll pass on this one.tnx!
Thank you for the detailed review!
Fantastic review! Thank you so much! I really value your options.❤️
I’m glad it was helpful 😀

Thank you for this recommendation because I own this and was getting frustrated with the application!
Yes, I saw that one but then realized that it’s more like a body splash so I passed on it.

Hi Maria ,I haven’t tried any of these so I’m excited to hear your thoughts
Well I guess we will have to remedy that Francis!!
Maria Maria, I’m headed to Fragrancebuy right now to get the EDP. Thank you for the recommendations.
I hope you love it Hessie!!
Love Tom ford soleil neige but after buying this one edt less that 40$ worn today omg it’s such elegant scent too I am in love even more because price
Isn't it good? The edt is beautiful. The rose version is good too.

The edp on me is very floral, not citrusy at all which I like 😍
@@louiseleite3866 I’m so happy to hear that Louise 💗
It’s not pastry at all. That said, I hate Light Blue as the lemon goes sharp…and I’m not really a fan of traditional freshies and I like it.

I found the EDP quite sharp and medicinal, not creamy at all..
Maybe I got a fake one 😅
I kinda got the same vibes. Not creamy to me and it is pretty sharp
That’s super interesting! Everyone will perceive things differently. I found the edp very smooth and almost fluffy!
@@mariacollettlife I wish I got smooth and fluffy ! I'm going to keep trying tho. It's probably just my skin chemistry :(
Tbh even when I smell from the nozzle it's sharp, almost like a dentist clinic smell.. But I'm kinda weird, so I still like it. 😅😂
Unfortunately Donna didn't worked out for me.
