Bellissima Acqua di Primavera

Calling all VIOLET lovers! This fragrance is absolutely lovely. So refreshing! Unlike any thing else I own. Definitely a bit woodsy, a bit sweet, and floral. At first spray the essence of violet and passion flower DANCE, leaping and stealing the spotlight at center stage. These stars of the show are cloaked in the sweetest, vivid, raspberry veil. Within minutes, woodsy notes and a tad bit of sandalwood join in, they are introduced mid stage, to anchor the dance troupes performance. This fragrance in my opinion is a masterpiece of a dance in perfect olfactory accord. I did not expect to like this as much as I did. This gem deserves bright lights and a stage! She shines like a bright star in my perfume collection. Sillage was good and longevity was average. I believe I will enjoy wearing her most in spring and summer as she has a very refreshing, bright composition. Bottle is very heavy and looks expensive. All in all, this was for me, a great fragrance purchase.

The more I explore the fragrance world the less I find it possible to describe a scent with words.. This is a really pretty violet-centered scent. A bit sweet with raspberries, powdery with violets, tangy and crispy with bergamot, warm with woods and musk. It is delicious and has really good projection: people start complimenting me at 2 meters (7 feet?) away :) It is definitely a spring scent, I guess it can be too warm and sweet for a summer heat. Very well-behaved (cant say exquisite), but no way an innocent fragrance - it has some girly naughty vibe to it, like a short skater dress with floral print. My first thought when I smelled it was: 'delicious scent of fresh white crunchy paper'. Somehow I find this powdery fresh paper smell very feminine :)

Love it! At first I could smell something that reminded me of a fragrant black tea (the bergamot?). Then it started to settle to a not very powdery violet - more a fresh and breezy violet. Then a lovely soft dry down. I wouldn't say sillage is great (to be expected from an airy fragrance, I guess) but hours later I can still smell it on my skin. I love the bottle too. The glass cap and the label that is made from ribbon-like fabric.

This is lovely. A sweet, gentle and girly floral with strong violet notes. There is nothing extraordinary or super interesting about this scent, but it is always a safe bet, liked by most people I meet when I wear it. Very good scent daytime for spring and summer.It lasts reasonably long on me, about 4-5 H. Something all violet lovers should try. The bottle is nice as well.

I scored this in Canada at Winners for $30 (100ML). What a FIND. It is fresh and floral and has that violety smell that I so love in my Guerlain cosmetics. Very uplifting, and light. Perfect for a crisp, sunny spring day. Pair with a pastel sundress and a large hat. Beauty!
