Estee Lauder Tuscany Per Donna Review

My signature perfume for the cooler months has been Estee Lauder's Tuscany Per Donna for at least ten years.  This eau de parfum, available in 1.7 or 3.4 oz glass bottles, is described as "sensuous and luminous as the Italian countryside."  Mediterranean herbs, lush blooming flowers, sandalwood and sweet vanilla combine for a sensual and soft combination.  The small bottle retails for $49.50 and the larger version is available for $65.00. 

What I like about it:  This perfume blends perfectly with my skin and smells amazing during the autumn and winter seasons when I want to be reminded of warm weather, countrysides, and romantic trips to Italy!  It lasts all day long, and I can even smell it on my clothes when I'm putting them into the washing machine.  While it lasts a long time, it's not overpowering and doesn't smell too strong, even when someone is close to you.  My husband loves this fragrance - and he is extremely particular.  He dislikes floral fragrances, so this perfume with its earthy undertones is feminine yet strong.  It reminds him of a lot of our special moments, since I have worn it since we started dating.  Scent is such a powerful way of bringing back memories, and this one is connected to moments like our first dates, our wedding, weekend trips, and many other significant events that brought us closer together.

What I don't like about it:  The price is definitely steep.  However, it's well worth it.  The perfume lasts a long time, as it only takes two sprays to give you the perfect amount for a whole day, so you're getting your money's worth.

As long as Estee Lauder leaves this perfume on the market, I'll be taken back to some of the most important moments in my life just with one whiff of Tuscany Per Donna!
