Pavarotti Donna. I bought this in a little Pharmacy in Rotorua which was closing. It was half price. It was a bargain. “How odd”, I thought “ a perfumery with the same name as the opera singer..” lol. Now, I don’t know how involved ol’ Golden Pipes the Maestro was in the making of this perfume, but it is quite gorgeous. It is fruity and luscious, with a slight greeny mellow herby tone. It is Tuscany summers, fruit orchards, sunlit bedrooms, hot terracotta tiles, lemons, wine, honey. I like to think Luciano made this for his daughters, to make them smile when he wasn’t there. Then again, I’m a dreadful romantic. It is strong, as you would expect an Italian scent to be - and it lasts pleasantly.
