Bella

I blind bought this today at Ross and so far to me it smells like Hello beautiful by bath & body works. There is a nectarine and jasmine note in that one as well. I really liked hello beautiful because it was something different than the normal sweet scents. This is very similar a fresh floral, very bright but has some warmth like hello beautiful does also. Im going to try layering this with that lotion and maybe the body spray. Edit: I can't stop sniffing this from the bottle.Ok I think I love this. I'm still testing it but something in it likely the nectarine blossom reminds me of apple blossoms and I love that note. This is so nice. Just a pretty floral which I've come to like. Many scents nowadays are just too complicated. If you just want to smell pretty, this is a keeper. Edit 2: I love this!! Its a fruity floral for grown ups.

I got a pleasant nectarine blossom (which my nose interpreted as a synthetic but cheerful apricot.) When I sprayed this the first trial, I got the bergamot, but not the second trial. I also got what I think is a coconut aldehyde at the top, and this lends an initial tropical whimsy. The middle notes came in quick and lasted 2 hours. While I did not get Jasmine in a typical way, I think I got hedione, which is definitely jasmine-esque. This is all to say because I find the fragrance very synthetic and chemically constructed. This doesn't bother me at all, I like it. I am reminded a little bit of a strawberry shortcake doll I had as a child, the peaches and cream doll. It is playful, fanciful, simple, and light. In 2 short hours the entire thing disappeared for me, and then an hour later I could find the amber drydown on my skin. Not sure where it went before then though!

I have and love Fiori and had high hopes for Bella, but on me this smells like a citrus men's scent. I don't know what it is in it that makes it turn so oddly masculine on me, perhaps the bergamot, but there is no appeal in this for me. I will be trying Amore next, but definitely have lower expectations since this was so disappointing for me.

One spray was meh but two sprays uplifted my spirit. Very lemony on me but in a clean, non-synthetic way. Well done overall but not very unique and smells like bubble bath to me. Got this as a decant and may select this in warmer weather to give it a try. But that's about it methinks.

At first application (I have the roller ball) it's VERY tropical, (I sense pineapple maybe mango?and its not listed) and pleasant Too bad it only lasts for about an hour. Sadly I will not repurchase or buy a bigger bottle. Update: The dry down reminds me of Burberry Brit EDT. Lasts for about 4 hours or so. Still will not be repurchasing. If the beginning notes lasted this long I would.
