    Real talk

    Donna opens with that powdery-violet sweetness that divides opinion, cotton candy and iris, right there in the first minute. But the drydown pulls it back toward sandalwood and patchouli.Donna
    The opening is sweet enough to get you in the room. What keeps you there is the oakmoss underneath. That green, earthy depth is what stops this from being just another fruity floral.Ricina
