The Story
Donna Eau de Parfum Intense is a richer, deeper version of the classic Donna, crafted by Lorenzo Villoresi for Carthusia. It opens with a burst of Sicilian bergamot and Calabrian lemon, then blooms into a floral heart of jasmine and ylang-ylang. The base is a warm, sensual blend of vanilla, musk, and sandalwood. This is a sophisticated, long-lasting fragrance that feels like a Mediterranean summer evening.
