    The irregular-shaped bottle in the red box pictured above, is a reformulation from 1993 (or 1995). I am sure the listed notes belong to that.
    The original Donna R came out in 1975, in a square or rectangular bottle made of thick, green glass, with a silver coloured cap (splash bottle, sprays look a little different). The box is green with a blue belt.
    I am testing the edt of this old version today. I would call it a woody-earthy-animalic chypre. Very dry. It opens with a very forest-y note – cypress? Pine? Something like that, a turpentine-ish note that can be almost overwhelming at first. It feels dark green, maybe galbanum and patchouli?
    There’s also smoke/incense, oakmoss for sure, cedarwood, and leather? I think there’s also coriander. I don’t detect much flowers. No sweetness, but as it develops, it becomes warmer – I’m guessing some amber, maybe musk.
    The comparisons with Valentino in the “reminds me of”-section must be for the reformulation, it doesn’t feel even remotely close. It’s a dark, earthy, dry 70s chypre, possibly too dry for me. Generally I prefer more warmth and perhaps a little more floral sweetness. I didn’t have any specific expectations about Donna R, since I couldn’t find the notes anywhere. But it is not my usual style (which is mainly 80s florientals). The phrase “a fire burning in the woods” in Action’s review got me curious… yes, there is smoke, and woody, forest-like notes, but oh, so dry… But I often have dry skin, and that may affect the fragrance, make it seem drier than it is meant to be.
    Well, I am glad to have tested it. Time will tell if I learn to love it…
    Edit:
    After several more wearings, I am slowly learning to appreciate Donna R. Yes, it is drier than I usually like my perfumes, but I keep noticing new nuances in the warmth that develops after a few hours. Something to wear when you want the feeling of walking through a forest on a cloudy autumn day, when the ground is covered in damp, brown leaves, and you want to be alone with your thoughts.

    Where is the leather?
    Surely there is some in this composition!

    I will never understand why Intalian perfumes are so underrated compare to Franch once.
    A well done fragrance is a well done one whether it was made in France or not.
