Tuscany Per Donna is as sensual and shiny as Italy itself. It belongs to the floral-oriental olfactive group. The top notes incorporate rose, citruses and Mediterranean plants. The heart of the composition includes jasmine, carnation, honeysuckle and peony. The base contains sandalwood, amber and vanilla. The perfume was created in 1993.

Base Notes
Very nice and elegant oriental, but not a must have. It reminds me more of Samsara Shine than the original, but with a prominent peach note. It can be easily worn in warmer weather as it is airy and light.
In the drydown it smells almost identical to Mackie.
Nice sillage and longevity.
This one smells great. Not usually the scent I like but a great smelling one none the less.
Original Aramis Tuscany per Donna used to be my signature scent in the 90-s. It was so feminine, mellow, soft, yet sexy. Then suddenly I got tired of it. Didn't feel that mellow anymore, instead it was like heavy blanket covering me, couldn't finish my second bottle. I still consider it very different, beautiful scent, it's quite hard to find, which makes it even more desirable.
I do find similarities between TpD and Samsara. TpD is definitely more wearable, not that loud and heavy as Samsara. For all the perfumistas who love Samsara, I recommend to take a sniff of Tuscany per Donna.
There's a good measure of civet in the drydown, according to my snout. Such that it reminds me of Romeo Gigli per uomo. Good thing the vanilla takes a far back seat. The carnation in here is much more wearable than the stuff they put in Dolce Gabbana (red box EDT). Good development and tenacity. It's been a staple in this country (South Afica), but stocks may beginning to thin at the moment.
This one is possibly the one and only perfume that reminds me of being in love. It was the perfume I wore for my wedding; romantic, sensual, warm and inviting. I consider it a masterpiece for sure!!
I have a vintage mini of Tuscany which find very pleasant to wear. It's a typical 80's-90's floriental: the heart is warm and intensively floral, surrounded by a delicious (but non edible) gourmand touch of fruits in the top, spicy woods and honeyed notes in the base. Tuscany is very easy to wear, inoffensive and delightful.
I find it in character related to both Jil Sander No 4 and Mackie, but Tuscany lacks buttery tuberose in the center, and the mote of patchouli in the base. So, if you like them you may like Tuscany as well. The only drawback is that it's similar to many florientals from that time. I love them all, but I surley don't need to have too many similar fragrances in my overcrowded wardrobe :), so this mini will do for me for many years to come.
Love this. It is warm, seductive, and beautiful. It is not obnoxious at all.
I really don't like this one. To me it smells boring and uninteresting. There's nothing that attracts me to this fragrance, I'm sorry to say.
Iam so happy to rediscover Tuscany per Donna again. I wore it many many years ago back in 90's but suddenly lost it as it was discontinued by Aramis.
It took more than 10 years to find out that Estee Lauder is still producing it, and thank god it smells the same as I remembered. I had to order from US though, cannot find in any European store or on-line. What a shame, this is a hidden gem!
To me Tuscany per Donna fits better to a woody-oriental group. It is deep, woody, sexy and extremely feminine.
I would call Tuscany as a little sister of Samsara. It is more floral and wearable than Samsara, with beutifull slightly powdery sandalwood-musky-vanilla drydown. Very long lasting and memorable. A little goes long way, don't need to reapply. If you like woody-orientals (or Samsara) give it a try!
There is no problem obtaining Tuscany Per Donna from the Ester Lauder web site....I realize that some European countries (Germany and Italy I think) have more restrictions on importing. I am not sure about Australia.
I have found the last bottle of this available in South Australia - cost me heaps but was worth it!! It is as lovely as I remembered it to be - wore it to a function yesterday - had a hug from a friend who said "what are you wearing, you smell absolutely gorgeous"!! I Could still smell it on my jacket when I hung it up last night. So pleased to have Tuscany Eu de Parfum in my life again - will keep for special occasions (if I can control myself!)
"A rare fragrance worth tracking down"
This is unlike any other scent in my perfume wardrobe... exotic with deep floral base and oriental allure.
The blend wears well in the evening at the theater, during a cool day with scarf and jacket, on the couch with a loved one... any where at any time during any activity.
An ideal signature scent if you wont your signature to be unique.
Tried Estee Lauder counters in Adelaide today and nobody keeps this lovely perfume anymore. Had it up until 3 years ago but now unavailable - from what they tell me not available in Australia, but possibly can get in the USA or UK & Europe? Does anyone out there know if it can be obtained in South Australia? Would appreciate feedback. Notice it is available at online perfume stores but I would like to test it again. Would appreciate advice.
one of my very favorites . . . i do not know why its called tuscany thou? and why the box looks like the pattern of my great granny's couch? any way by just looking at the box or hearing the name i would never have even tried this but . . .this isnot how it came into my life. . . .i was at work and was in the back and keep getting the smell of heaven floating around the room and so i followed my nose up front and there was a lovely couple that looked so in love i didnt want 2 bother them but i had to so i asked what? are you wearing she told me and said that she hoped it wouldnt be getting discontinued because its getting hard 2 find..i bought some the next day and every wear i go i get stoped with the same question WHAT is that you are wearing ive even been asked to write it down i never get tired of it to me its beautiful
This was my very favourite perfume - then it just disappeared. Have read HOPE007 that can be obtained from Estee Lauder counter - oh, can it be true!! Will check tomorrow fingers crossed.
If you all love this fragrance and are having trouble finding it - go to the Estee Lauder counter, they have it. I just bought a 3.4oz bottle today (and called around and every Estee Lauder counter had it) and it is *not* discontinued. Just sold through the Estee Lauder Cosmetics counter. (Supposedly Aramis is a division? I am not sure about all that - just telling you all how to get Tuscany Per Donna & that it definitely is not discontinued)
A rich and warm perfume without being too much... . Fits any time of the year. To me it fitted better in summer.
It smells so comforting like a nice day on the beach. The leather makes it sensual, yet not overdone. I can also smell some sugarcane in it, a very feminine combination!
After much anticipation, (spicy carnation? fruits of Italy? sounded so promising!) I find this stuff to be utterly......... ho hum. The packaging remains delightful, tho.
Very Dept. Store, very ordinary, a faintly pleasant floral/orchard note in the drydown, and a faint, distant reminiscence of Albert Nippon, which I used to like. Also a faint, distant reference to Fendi's original scent, which I detested. Tuscany per Donna is quite loud and lasting, so at least one gets one's moneys worth, I suppose. Although it's a '92 launch, it makes me think of the big hair 80's in a totally major way, a decade I adored, and yet this represents like the totally most bogus part of the eighties, like just too Nancy Reagan, like I am so sure, y'know.
Very, very glad I got the little bitty tester vial instead of a bottle. Proof that one must test for individual reactions - one woman's delight is another woman's "meh."
A very feminine, rich perfume. The saturated color of the liquid like in this one is associated with the classic perfumes from the second half of the XX century )) It's a scent for those who is not impressed with the modern similar light toilet waters and is looking for something significant. A kind of a nostalgia, I think.
Either my nose is going crazy or someone sent me a sample and labeled it incorrectly:
I get LOTS of leather from this fragrance - from the top all the way to the bottom five hours later. It reminds me of a fresher Cabochard with rose and and other white flowers added. It smells like a leather chypre to me, not an oriental floral.
These reviews don't describe what I'm smelling on my skin at all...has anyone else had this experience or is this sample possibly mis-labeled??
I think they discontinued this and it's such a shame! It was a very interesting and by the time modern oriental with strong floral tones and slightly sour notes vaguely similar to Benefit Maybe Baby. It was anyway a classy scent for lively young sensual lady. Extremely feminine and recognisible, it left a typical sillage.
This is a classy little number. To me, it's a mother's perfume - in a good, wonderful way. I picture a warm, elegant 30-something mother of young children wearing it. It's beautiful, feminine and gentle. It's not for me (not yet at least!) but I was moved by it.
I like this! From the reviews I had gathered that this would be a very interesting scent, today I went shopping at a big mall and surprisingly was able to find several stores where even the most obscure fragrances could be found! This was one I tested and it smelled like wet autumn leaves to me, and that's what I was expecting. :) I would wear this in the autumn. :)
P.S. Although I give this a good review, I don't think it's something everyone would enjoy... it's not typical. That's all. :)
Where did you find this perfume? I searched it everywhere in Romania, but here it doesn't exist. I asked my husband to search it on Heathrow airport, but he didn't find it too. I thought that it was discontinued, but I saw the reviews and I want very much to buy it.
I love it. It reminds me of a time in my life when I was very happy, studying literature in Portugal and enjoying my life. It's so terribly intense.
Very sensual, definetly not for every day. It's a little treasure in my perfume collection
Yes, they it's the same fragrance. Aramis is one of Estee Lauder divisions.
masterpiece of perfume!
Loved this one too.
One of the most romantic and exotic perfumes to date.
the most mystical perfume, represents exactly the ambiance of tuscany... its magic, it´s emotions and mysteries...
