Bellissima Parfum Intense

Bellissima Parfum Intense is the perfect name for this fragrance. This and the original definately have a sisterly relationship. It's as if looking at two women who have the same lineage and are 100% recognizable as being sisters and yet~they aren't twins. Parfum Intense is exactly that~deeper and more intense. It doesn't have the prominant grapefruit accord that the original has but it's still there along w/the ginger and orange to create an edge of citrus. Married w/the passionflower all of these notes add a unique tanginess to this composition. From the beginning the base notes shout their presence. They take all of the citrus sharpness and mellow it into a brilliant version of a seasonless oriental. The orchid and peony work a beautiful floral creaminess into the mix. This feels rich w/out being heavy.It sparkles and yet is very grounded. I can see this appropiate for just about anything. Sillage is about a 6/10 and longevity on me is about 6 hours. This is different enough IMHO to have both this one and the original. I love this and honestly have never smelled anything quite like it. Linear? Yes. But in the best, most scrumptious possible way. A new favorite!

I just bought it😁 Luckely on a local site (Norway) where I could find more vintage or discontinued perfumes. I was looking for a "make-up" lipsticky perfume and there i found it thanks to some reviews here 👌 Its beautiful 🥰 I wear it today and I was in the kitcken and my daughter comes and saies: mama it smells like make-up 😅 and she is almost 7 years old. I didnt applied more than 2 sprays and if my daughter saied that then it smells like make-up 😅 and that was after about 2 hours i applied it😁 . So happy with my purchase and luckely the lady sold it with decent price .I dont know how Lipstick On smells but I imagine it must smells in this direction but its expensive to order it in Norway so I am thankfull with this one😁 And if we talk about "make-up" perfumes i would like to recommend another one which I own and I am crazy about it : MILANO FRAGRANZE-GALLERIA 🥰 When I wear it i feel like I smell an vintage lipstick in a quality leather bag . Its so beautiful and elegant. They are a new house but I am so happy with some of their perfumes( I own 4) . Such beautiful boxes and bottels(blue-heavy) and quality perfumes. A win i can say!

Bellisimo is a fragrance I put on when I feel like I need to be cozy, and comforted. It was a blind buy for me...one of those rabbit hole finds. Lol. To me it feels old fashioned, classy and cozy. I have the beautiful 50 ml bottle so it's a nice chunky feel. I'm a sucker for different scents and bottles. I feel fortunate to have found this gem. It reminds me of the silver screen movies of a different era. To me it's fruity, earthy, floral, with a bit of musk. Longevity is moderate but thats ok. I love a reason to pick up the bottle and enjoy the fresh opening again and again. I'm wearing it now...its a beastly cold winters day and there is a 1950's classic movie on TV. Fast forward to spring 2022...this has become an easy reach for me.( I am ready to order my second bottle.) Its so soft and feminine. Oooh...

Thank you to the reviewer below me LauraB425. This is the closest to Lipstick On of the dupes that I have tried. Of course it’s not exactly like it. It has more citrus note but it does have that sort of plastic-y, waxy, lipstick note that LO has. Although, the waxy lipstick part isn’t nearly as strong as LO it’s there all the same. You can’t beat this especially for the $. She’s right layer another iris heavy fragrance on top of it. I layered this with Luxury by Mizensir which is an iris heavy fragrance and it’s very, very good. It’s lightly powdery but not chalky like some inelegant iris can go, but waxy, lipstick-y, and like smooth cosmetics. It’s honestly just as good as Lipstick On but I still want MM to bring it back.

I learned about this fragrance from a YouTube influencer who said it was an affordable yet expensive smelling, well-blended amber floral fragrance. She also pointed out the bottle is high quality with (joy!) a glass cap. I blind bought this and I just love it. Both the amber and the floral accords are mellow. Nothing cloying about this. To my nose, this is a balanced, well-blended, linear amber-floral fragrance. It's available at a good price with a high-end bottle. I've listed it on my favorites from my collection. This is the only perfume for which I bought a back-up bottle... this time getting the full size (on a great sale). I just love it! 🦋🧡🦋
