Evento Donna

Evento Donna by the Italian house Roberto Capucci is a sweet floral for women. Everyone who has described it calls it gourmand, most find it floral, and a minority note a woody side.

It opens with pear and black currant, a juicy, slightly tart combination. The heart brings orange blossom, jasmine and iris: the first two are warm white flowers, while iris adds a cool, powdery, suede-like softness that gives the middle some restraint. The base is where the sweetness concentrates, with praline, vanilla and tonka bean over patchouli, so the finish is nutty, creamy and warm, with patchouli adding an earthy counterweight.

No one has yet reported on how long it lasts or how far it projects. A pear and praline floral of this kind sits most naturally in autumn and winter and in the evening, and would suit someone who likes sweet scents softened by iris rather than pure sugar. It is sold in a 100 ml bottle.
