UPDATE: Back in May when I filmed this video, Tuscany was removed from both the American and European EL websites. EL also confirmed its discontinuation via email. However, as of November, a lovely subscriber notified me that it’s available again in America, and I can also find it on the American website for a retail price of $75. It's still discontinued or out of stock in Europe.
I managed to get a small bottle in a lot on Ebay last month...and in that same lot was a small bottle of Paloma Picasso, a 25% full bottle of Coco Mademoiselle, and some smaller bottles of vintage fragrances...all for $22.50. The whole lot was an extreme bargain!!!
Wow, that was an amazing bargain. Minis of Tuscany are not too expensive but as soon as you start looking for anything bigger, the prices go through the roof. Thanks for watching!🙂
What a lovely review. Where has this perfume been all my life, i've never heard of it and now its gone 😢. It really sounds like something i would love. I loved the 90's versions of Allure and Samsara. They both where my signature scents back then. I still love Allure but new Samsara not so much. I usually dont mind reformulations but they REALLY butchered Samsara. My scentS (yes plural because i'm weird😂) are l'air du temps, True Love, issey miyake and Joy by Jean Patou for the night💖
You would love this one, without a doubt.🙂 I love my Samsara but as I said, the current formulation is strangely sharp and screechy in the opening, unfortunately. I’m sure no one has ever mixed those ones before!🙂 You don’t spray all at once, do you? I usually have 2-3 scents of the day, depending on my mood. Sometimes it’s just one.
@@lukeparfumsno not all at once 😂😂😂 this is my way to enjoy my entire collection, i wear more than one a day💖 I dont just want to collect, i want to love and wear my collection
@@lukeparfums My goal is to once ( if i can) to only own the ones i truly love and discontinued ones. So i need to use up the ok ones (mostly freshies from the horrible period i wanted to fit in by smelling 'mainstream' instead of like a 'grandma' or like 'cat piss' 🙄
I see what you mean. I used to be a bit like that. I tried to use up as many fragrances as I could. Not anymore! I don’t force myself to wear something I don’t want to wear. Life’s too short. I only wear what I want and unfortunately, I only use up what I don’t want to use up!😊
I just purchased a vintage perfume sample lot and this is one of the fragrances, after watching your video I cannot wait for this sample in particular to arrive!! 🤗
I went to Tuscany for my honeymoon! It brings back happy memories to think of being there! 😊 I have never ever heard of this one! 😲 It does sound a bit of a complicated history though so I'm not surprised 😂
Hi Claire! That sounds lovely! Tuscany is the perfect honeymoon destination. 😊 I was there with my grandma when I was 15 years old. It’s such a magical place. It looks like it’s been on and off the market for over 30 years. Now it’s gone forever.😕
I have the new version of Tuscany. I find the opening to be a little bit sharp. After that, I like it. You got the wonderful creation. I also have a very tiny bottle of Samsara, of unknown vintage. It doesn’t smell screechy at all. I like it a lot!😊 11:00 Thank you for another great video 😊 I love hearing the history of perfume.
Hi Leah! Both are beautiful but the vintage hits differently. So does the vintage Samsara. The modern formula is beautiful but the opening is somewhat sharp. Thanks for watching!🙂🧡
Who do you think inspired me to get Tuscany?🤭 I knew about it before but Leah kept talking about it. I had to get it. I didn’t think I’d ever find one but I did. I couldn’t be happier. Thanks Leah!
I work at Macy's. They still sell the tuscany the estee lauder classics collection. I had the original when it was first released. Wish i would have kept a bottle.
How interesting. Back in June, I checked the American and European EL website and came to the conclusion it had been discontinued everywhere. I also emailed EL. They confirmed it. But they seem to have brought it back. Thank you for letting me know. 🧡
@@lukeparfums it's still beautiful! Not as long lasting as I remember and for some reason they put it in a boring non descript bottle. I was absolutely blown away by knowing however. I hadn't retried it in years and it lasts and lasts AND they kept the beautiful bottle. I got compliments from my younger co workers as well which shocked me. The young un's seem to relish gourmands and fruits it seems.
@@hollyw1521 I've grown to really appreciate the rectangular bottle used for Tuscany, Cinnabar, SpellBound, Estée and I love the organic lines of the Knowing bottle. Really? I must say I'm really shocked you were complimented on Knowing by younger coworkers... I reckon it must a skin chemistry thing. 🙂
Hi Luke 😊 Great review as always. It’s so nice to know the history behind each fragrance. I’ve never tried Tuscany per Donna but it sounds lovely. My scent of the day today was Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. Hope you have a great weekend 🙂
@lukeparfums On my last visit to Dubai, I stapled to arabic perfumes shop that was selling oil version perfume of venezia. I bought a 100ml bottle of it it's superb....

Tuscany sounds like a dream place for a honeymoon! I’m hoping to see it one day.

@@lukeparfums 🤣 from now on i'm going to read all of Leahs comments for the hidden gems!
We have over 30 fragrances in common. We counted.🤭
Amazing review, thank you, Luke.. i bought a vintage bottle of samsara and i love it.
Hi there, thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying your vintage Samsara!🙂
I had this perfume long time ago, in 1993, and it was most favorit my perfume....
Thank you for commenting. 🙂
So nice description , poetry on a fragrance channel!
My scent of the day:Burberry Her over the Burberry Her body lotion.
Have a nice day!
Thank you so much! Who doesn’t love a poetry moment?🙂 Thanks for watching!

@lukeparfums I think it was definitely out of stock around 6 months ago. We have it here in Las Vegas Macy's now thankfully!!!!!
@@hollyw1521 That's amazing! I do hope it comes back here in Europe as well. What do you think about the new version? 🙂

😍 sounds like something I would enjoy ❤ scent of the night - Passion by Liz Taylor
You most certainly would!🧡
Hi. I would like to try Tuscany per Donna
Hi Nancy! Some websites still stock it but don’t waste any time because it’s discontinued. Thanks for watching!🙂
Hi Luke 😊 Great review as always. It’s so nice to know the history behind each fragrance. I’ve never tried Tuscany per Donna but it sounds lovely. My scent of the day today was Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. Hope you have a great weekend 🙂
Thanks! I’ll make sure to include more perfume history in my videos. Oh, really? Mine too, the Intense version. I love it. You too!😄
@@lukeparfums Nice 😀
I’m always discovering things that are discontinued. Or something I love gets discontinued.
Me too. Isn’t is sad?😕 Tuscany was still available about a year ago and then it just disappeared over night. Thanks for watching!🙂
Tuscany per Donna smells same as Lora biagiotti perfume (Venezia)
Venezia is stunning. It’s such a shame they’re both discontinued.

Wouldn’t you love to be invited to a launch party like that?!? 😮I would die of happiness!😂
Oh, absolutely!🙂
I am quick!😂
You are indeed!🤭
