Description
Pop star Dannii Minogue (also known as the sister of the famous Kayle) has teamed up with her designer friend Tabitha Somerset-Webb in Project D, creating a fashion line that combines Dannii’s glamorous style and Tabitha’s rock chic edge. The first signature
fragrance from Project D is launched this fall, accompanied by three mini purse sprays,
which set forth the composition of the original: Dawn, Day and Dusk.
Project D is a captivating fragrance inspired by the combination of two very different styles – glamour and rock ‘n’ roll. It is a timeless and stylish addition to the fashion line in which each note is carefully chosen to ensure the presence of glamour any place, any time.
Refreshing at first, floral in the middle and hazy in the end, Project D is ideal for any occasion and all of your moods.
The composition incorporates natural top notes of neroli, bergamot and ylang ylang, with the intriguing and mysterious heart of tuberose, Japanese osmanthus, mimosa and purple orchid.
Magnetic and provocative notes of creamy sandalwood, exotic saffron, musk and hot amber oils form the perfume base.
Top notes: bergamot, neroli, ylang-ylang.Heart: tuberose, osmanthus, mimosa, purple orchid.Base: sandalwood, saffron, musk, amber.
Project D is available as 50 ml EDP. Project D was launched in 2010.

This perfume is strong and smelly! I hate to say it but this screams 80s alcohol/ headache inducing mess! 🙁 I wanted to love it because the dry down is creamy/warm/somewhat sensual but it still has sth that literally brings on migraines! Had to part with it after looking for it for MONTHS 🙁

I love the neroli that leading the top notes on PROJECT D; it’s very spicy and sometimes smells a bit like licorice, yet it is also a bit powdery. The bergamot is light, but gives a tangy fresh feel and a slightly citrussy twinge to the fragrance so the powdered and spicier notes never get too loud or become overpowering.
I love orchid notes so I was pleased to learn that the EDP uses purple orchid, which I think is actually a cattleya orchid; it is a bit like jam; sweet, fruity and slightly watery. This jam like note is quickly overtaken by the ylang ylang note. As it isn’t very sweet, instead being quite musky and mossy, it stops every other scent note from becoming too strong and cloying. As the ylang ylang dies down the mimosa quickly develops and adds a vaguely citrus-like note, as does the osmanthus. The combination is similar to the bergamot; light, but with a subtle zest. The tuberose is the last of the florals to develop on me and it causes the fragrance to become sweeter and creamy as it slowly burns down and mingles with the developing base notes. I don’t usually like tuberose, but I do like it here as it isn’t as strong as I have come to expect in perfumes and it does help to generally add more depth to the range of scent notes used in the fragrance as a whole.
I’m normally not fond of distinctly musky perfumes either, but as the rest of this perfume is soft and feminine, I do really like the contrast that the masculine, slightly salty musky undertone of the base notes add to the perfume. The sandalwood here has a creamier feel to it, so it seems to help prolong the tuberose. The saffron gives the perfume one final spicy kick and once again reminds me of licorice. I’m not sure what they mean by amber oil, but it is more or less the same as the majority of artificial amber in perfumes – a light, soft, vaguely vanillish based scent.
PROJECT D isn’t the easiest perfume to find, but it’s worth it when you do as it lasts well over eight hours on skin. So it’s a few spritzes a day = the bottle lasts for ages.
