Spring Feelings -
Spring is not without reason the time of love. Now the question arises: Does it really exist? The great feelings at first sniff? - I find it hard to deny this when there is “Donna (Eau de Toilette).” Yes, it may sound cheesy, but it feels right. I believe I have found it: my perfect spring and summer fragrance. I have actually owned this scent for years, but in the EdP concentration. I always found it beautiful, but I like the EdT version even a little bit more - at least for the warmer seasons. I love the freshness of the EdT.

I appreciate its clarity. “Donna EdT” shows only a slight scent progression on my skin. Right after spraying, a wonderful fragrance caresses my nose - lemony, fresh, delicately floral, and pleasantly sweet. This is how the scent remains on my skin. Over time, it becomes a bit creamier, but the development is subtle. “Donna EdT” is a wonderfully soft and feminine fragrance without a single disturbing note. A creamy-sweet, delicately citrusy delight for the nose. Fresh yet comforting.

The sillage is pleasant. It is noticeable, but never intrusive. The longevity is also absolutely fine at 5/6 hours. “Donna EdT” is one of my favorites in my collection and my favorite spring/summer fragrance. It was truly love at first sniff.

A Whiff of Nothing
My girlfriend swears by Trussardi "Donna" Eau de Toilette. "It's so fresh-fruity and fine, just the way I want it," she claims. Inspired by her enthusiasm, I have tested the fragrance thoroughly three times. And I am quite frustrated regarding the scent, as I have almost anosmia when it comes to this fragrance.
I spray it on my wrist (very generously, mind you), spray it abundantly in my hair - and smell almost nothing at all. A faint hint of sweet lemon with musk reaches my nose for a moment only to disappear immediately. My skin smells a bit sweet, perhaps, or am I imagining it? That's it!
Full of despair over my anosmia, I spray it (during the third test, having given up during the first two) on the sleeve of my coat - only then can I smell it, and at least it lasts there (but without any remarkable sillage). It smells consistently very faint and quite pleasant: subtly sweet-lemony (including a bit of zest) + musk. No development. Good. Not particularly original.
Perhaps one could bathe in this scent, and then my partner might believe, when he comes very close to me, that this is the natural scent of my skin? But that's all I can unfortunately say about this fragrance.
(By the way, my girlfriend's husband doesn't like to smell perfume on her (he doesn't like perfumes), and that's why she only wears perfumes to work. Is it perhaps her right that the perfume is so quiet?)
For my girlfriend, the scent is definitely a top, but for me, unfortunately, it is no scent - it is a whiff of nothing, especially since I always wear my fragrances on my skin and in my hair. Opinions can be so different.

The Chinese Character
It shatters - no, not into a thousand pieces. But into three. Into three clean shards. As I let the top protective layer of the coffee cup from my acquaintance fall, I prove once again that I am the undisputed queen of clumsiness.

I just wanted to help my mother carry it. But she rightly asks me if I can't carry a cup at my age.

Phew, a Sunday afternoon, as beautiful as it could be. Yet I still have to finish something for work. For the colleague who would once again grind my mood through the meat grinder and turn it into shashlik on Monday.

How good it is that I have learned over the years not to cry over spilled milk. But I do feel a little humility about my ever-present carelessness.

The last months have been tough. But with every time I fell, I also learned to get back up. With every criticism, I learned why I had even started with certain things. With every loss, I learned that one can still find happiness in life despite losses.

Yet despite everything, I knew that I would have to face this colleague on Monday, and that could cost me my last nerve and strength.

You must know, some have an ego that makes me wonder what they mix into their coffee in the morning. Or what is really in the cigarettes they smoke. I wish that for some it were really just a clown that they allowed themselves in the morning with a slice of toast or their porridge.

As this anxiety grips me, a few things fall into my arms due to my carelessness and clumsiness.

And as I gather everything, a powdery-vanilla divine scent greets me. Incredibly beautiful, soft, almost healing.

It is a clean vanilla that develops a smoky quality and yet caresses you like a white vanilla cotton cloud. If one could smell the color white - yes, then it would be this scent. Almost as if white snow had transformed into white vanilla powder (only not dusty, but fresh), soft, white, and despite everything, powdery-warm, powdery-beautiful, powdery-healing.

Apparently, my mom bought me two fragrances, and one seems to be Trussardi Donna.

Almost crazy, because I have been wishing for a vanilla scent for some time. Because vanilla is said to not only have an incredibly stimulating effect on the mind but also to de-stress and even protect against burnout. In psychotherapy, it is said to be used for anxiety patients to calm them and free them from their worries.

Could it be precisely these aspects that allow us to remember the comforting, warm vanilla pudding from our childhood?

With everything, an old class photo also falls into my hands. When I was little, I wasn't a particularly good student - until the 5th grade. After that, I somehow picked up speed, and everything seemed to run smoothly. But no matter how hard I worked, how good my grades were, there was one girl who was always better than me.

She was Chinese and named Kayin. When I had a 1, she had a 1+. When I received praise in sports, she received an award. When I had a two in my worst subject, she had a 1-.

No matter what I did, no matter how hard I tried, she was always better than me. Until I - yes, until I resigned.

At some point, I decided that I couldn't be better than her. But I decided that I could do my best and thus make myself happy without being dependent on anyone. Without comparing myself, without imposing the standards of others on myself.

And you know what happened?

When my mom caught me rummaging, she told me that she had told the acquaintance that she broke the "upper cup." Even though she scolded me at first.

The acquaintance apparently thought that the cup had a crack anyway and that she wanted to throw it away. She just couldn't bring herself to do it.

Through this event, I decided to be like I was back then. Not perfect, but I decided to come up with something heartfelt for the acquaintance and for my mom. And for work and all the other important areas of life, I would do my best, no matter what happened. No matter what anyone thought about it. Because I decided to do it with all my heart.

And no matter what you are planning - I wish you: everything you do with your heart may succeed.

jumped into the fountain of youth
When the saleswoman handed me the sample of Donna Eau de Toilette, I was somewhat confused.

Oh - I already have that from 30 years ago!
No, no - this is the NEW Eau de Toilette, I am informed.

Yes, that's right - the coat of arms around the noble profile of the Italian wind toy has been completed with two upright, graceful dogs of the same breed, and enhanced.

Even this label had attracted me back then.
But how does the scent smell?

Compared to the original, it has become slimmer and younger. Unlike me.

Fresh and graceful like its heraldic animals, it emerges from a cool fountain of youth, with water lilies floating on top.
The water fruits deepen this clear, liquid impression even more.
Cleanliness spreads - like freshly bathed.
The orange blossom and jasmine tea give off gentle warmth, while patchouli and sandalwood provide tranquility.
The yuzu makes the soft fountain water lightly effervescent, and a subtly sweet vanilla wafts above it.

Donna wins me over with elegant lightness and delicate emotionality.
Sensitive like the favorite dogs of the "old Fritz".

The scent will not dethrone my original "version" - but it can certainly stand alongside it.

Each of them also makes its own statement - and they do not interfere with each other.

Compared to the original from 1982, this is a crime, but viewed on its own, it remains a floral-dominated fruity floral.

In the Japanese garden, a jasmine tea stream flows gently, while yellow-white koi spread softly sparkling lemon cream kisses.

For me, a spring-like scent more for women. Dominantly floral, initially green, then becoming sweeter. Smells pleasant, but too nice.

Pleasant citrus-floral scent, rather subtle. Yuzu is also present. Becomes a bit synthetic towards the end. Great for spring and summer.
