Donatella Black Onyx is officially considered a masculine fragrance, rooted in the fruit and floral families. In eau de parfum — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
Expect a very delicate sillage: a quiet, intimate presence. It's a light presence — longevity is low, perfect for those who love something airy. Brand country — the Netherlands: a place that truly knows its way around a great scent. Donatella Black Onyx — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance has low persistence and lasts on the skin for about 2–3 hours, gradually fading and smoothly revealing its main notes
The scent exists only for you—no one around you will notice it
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Donatella evolves as a living composition, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Black Onyx is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum supports the depth and body this composition needs.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Floral, Citrus, Fruit and Green. The palette also extends to Whiteflower, Wood and Musk. At family level the fragrance belongs to Floral and Fruit.
In the top tier you meet juicy fruity first notes: Apple blossom, Lemon, Peach and Pear.
In the heart you meet Freesia, Green Chord, Hibiscus and Jasmine keeping a velvety rose-iris direction.
The accord profile is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Musc with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Wood add depth to the backdrop. The gender direction is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. For persistence Low suggests confident staying power.
In summary Donatella sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best judged on skin.
