Diva by Emanuel Ungaro
For: women Designer: Emanuel Ungaro Olfactive Group: Chypre Floral
!The first Ugaro’s perfume is dedicated to women. The word ‘Diva’carries an association with prima donna and has the Italian meaning ‘goddess’. Diva is a classic perfume for women and its composition is built around rose, Ungaro’s symbol. The bottle immitates curves of female body, which is again one of Ungaro’s idols.
The opening is classic, floral with a citrusy note, which harmonizes with the note of tuberose. Ylang-ylang is mixed with a rose. The sweet and sensual finale is reached by the notes of vanilla, sandalwood and iris. The perfume was created by Jacques Polge in 1983.

Diva is vase with flowers, the kind of flowers which absorb the air in the room, and makes you open the window. Not like the flowers you’ve smelled lately, it is ancient carnation, ancient rose, ancient jasmine. Like the one that sinked on the bottom of the ocean with Titanic, in golden saloon with marble floor and velvet curtains. Thick as honey syrup. Golden as the sea when first sun beams arise from ocean.
Diva is a lady heading for the opening of La Traviata in fur coat and smaragd earrings. Decisive and superior. Charming and humble. Raped in Olimp smell of Greek goddess, liqueur, oak and vanilla. Long lasting and capturing. The smell of years that passed.
Diva reminds me on our dear Chat, both for the smell and the name.

I have read all the comments about DIVA and found it so amusing that some find it to be the most wonderful perfume ever, while others are totally turned off by it. My daughter wears it and it smells heavenly on her, but when I have tried it, it fades totally away in a matter of minutes. I wanted so badly for it to smell on me like it did her. It wasn't offensive on me...it just quickly faded away.

Rarely I had so many expectations about a perfume ... disappointment! In my skin was like...urine.I agree with rithacha: chemistry is a capricious thing.

My new found crush! I recently found out that I can't keep my hands away from the bottle of Diva EDP. On me it smells like a delicious rose confiture without being overly fruity or foody. If I loved the gourmand category at all, this perfume creation would be the perfect example of how the true gourmand should be done - without any actual foody notes in it. Complex, impressive structure and excellent sillage for such an affordable fragrance, can't beat that!

Diva *actually* smelled like urine on me. I'm not exaggerating in the slightest. I used to be mystified when others reported some perfume smelling like "cat pee" or "used diaper" on their skin, but now I know what they mean.
I wouldn't call something a "port-a-potty" smell if I didn't mean it, and Diva is genuinely that on my skin. Skin chemistry is a capricious thing, so try before you buy!

Way too strong, heavy, and busy for me....Smells dirty, thanks to patchouli and civet- a dirty floral, as opposed to a sharp one. I wish I could give better reasons for why I dislike this, but I want to be polite...
Please try before you buy-I had a sample of this and I know a scent is bad for me when I don't want to test it a second time-or even continue wearing it as an experiment....

I think this perfume smells divine. It does remind me a bit of Paloma Picasso as someone before me said...but it's a bit more floral. I love the middle notes the most, but the fragrance to me is sublime from the fresh spritz to the drydown. LOVE IT.

Very classic, kind of retro-chic and lady like fragrance.
To me it is very similar to discontinued Gucci no.3 which I used to wear a long time ago.

Irresistible on the right body chemistry. Works swell on me--but the oakmoss makes me wheeze.

A jammy rose with oriental markings. First on, I get mostly rose, but a faint powder note creeps in, smelling like new face powder, and adds a hint of sophistication. I'm not a huge rose fan, though I like the scent, but this is complicated enough to be rather delicious. It does not smell dated in any way. Elgab89's seven veils simile is great: it's a sexy but diaphanous--and very feminine--dance of fragrance.

I went overboard spraying myself with the Diva tester bottle. It smells very nice right out of the bottle. Lots of big floral, like gentle curves - never sharp. It made me happy to smell like a cheerful bouquet of flowers. When I got home my son told me it smelled nice but a bit too mature. (I’m trying to avoid using the other clichéd term.)

A stunning classic, I hope it will stay on the market for a long, long time. It starts with uplifting aldehydes, tuberose is noticeable and citruses (mandarine?). It goes fast to a rose middle note which I love - however it does not linger there too long and settles into a gorgeous warm and sexy (CIVET) drydown. So it is quite interesting how it unwraps from citrusy aldehydic uplifting to a downright voluptous scent. Like the dance of the veils, when unwrapped each veil brings up a different stage.
