Diego Dalla Palma

8.4

Diego Dalla Palma · 1989

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

Diego Dalla Palma is a sweet, floral women's fragrance that ties a jasmine, iris and rose heart to the warmth of vanilla and sandalwood; it has been discontinued. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of ratings is small, so these figures are not firm. There are no season or occasion votes, but the rich, sweet build suggests cooler weather. It is described as a women's fragrance. Lemon and mandarin orange give a brief fresh opening. In the heart, jasmine, iris, rose, violet and ylang-ylang form a floral, powdery core. The base of vanilla, sandalwood, tonka bean, musk and amber carries it into a creamy, resinous, spicy warmth. Guerlain Samsara and Eisenberg So French ! have a close profile.
