By the editors · 2 min readDona Bia opens with an unusual pairing: mint against coffee. The mint is cool and herbal, the coffee dark and slightly roasted — together they create a sharp, slightly austere contrast that is more caffeinated-bistro than spa.
Incense and amber carry the dry-down, adding a smoky resinous warmth that anchors the initial freshness. The incense is dry rather than sweet, lending the composition a meditative quality.
The result is a polarizing fragrance that pivots between coolness and smokiness. It suits evening wear in cooler weather, when the coffee-mint interplay reads as sophisticated rather than jarring. Not for those seeking conventional comfort.
