Diane

6.9

Diane von Furstenberg · 2011

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Diane von Furstenberg Diane is a powdery, floral women's fragrance built around patchouli, musk, violet, frangipani and myrrh; it has been discontinued. The earthy, woody patchouli is balanced by the soft florals of violet and frangipani. Myrrh adds a spicy depth, while musk holds the powdery texture together. Fresh and fruity touches lighten the chypre character. Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters lean slightly towards autumn and spring, though it is worn in all four seasons. It suits daily wear and the office best, and most voters read it as feminine.

Sunny Diane

Diane von Furstenberg · 2012

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Diane von Furstenberg Sunny Diane is a discontinued women's fragrance that pairs sea breeze and mandarin orange with the sweet floral note of frangipani. It opens with sea breeze and mandarin orange, a fresh, citrusy and aquatic start. Frangipani brings a soft, creamy floral heart, while driftwood and musk settle the scent on a light, woody base. The fruity and sweet sides stay behind a green freshness. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin as a quiet scent. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and the office lead the occasions. Its character reads mostly feminine and modern. Loewe Paula's Ibiza and Granado Bossa have a close profile.

Love Diane

Diane von Furstenberg · 2012

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Diane von Furstenberg Love Diane is a fresh, floral women's fragrance that layers fruit and sweetness over its light frame; it has been discontinued. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, though the number of votes is small. Spring leads the seasons, followed by fall and summer, with winter last. For occasions, business and daily wear come first, with leisure close behind. It was created by Honorine Blanc and shares a close profile with Zara Sultry Pear and Pink Sugar Simply Pink. Red currant and apricot open on a fruity freshness, and jasmine gives the heart a soft floral touch. In the base, liquorice and praliné turn gourmand and sweet, while powdery and spicy touches keep that sweetness in check.
