    This is the fragrance that smells like someone who has everything figured out and doesn't need to prove it. The aquatic notes are clean and assured, avoiding anything harsh or overwrought.Marilyn Rose
    Valentino Donna goes against the current. Where others go bright, this one goes soft. Not transparent or airy, genuinely soft, powdery even, with the kind of leather that keeps you leaning in.Valentino Donna
