The world first encountered Raffinee by Dana in 1982. A feminine fragrance belonging to the east and floral families. In eau de toilette — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
Country of origin — the United States: no wonder the fragrance turned out this refined. Raffinee Dana unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
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 composition of Raffinee is built as a continuous scent journey, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Dana is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette supports the right density and pace of development.
As soon as the fragrance opens you detect invigorating sunny top notes: Bergamot, Citrus accord, Clary Sage and Clove. Exactly these 4 notes build a burst of citrus freshness that anchors the first impression immediately.
In the middle phase you detect Hyacinth, Iris, Mimosa, Orchid, Osmanthus and Tonka bean carrying a opulent floral direction.
The accord architecture is shaped by these accords: Balsamic, Aromatic, Citrus and Gourmet without random overlap. Secondary accord layers such as Floral, Fruit, Musc and Wood add depth to the backdrop.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Citrus, Aromatic, Floral and Whiteflower. It also reaches into Fruit, Spicy, Balsamic and Wood.
Taken together Raffinee sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best experienced in wear.
