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! 🦋🧡🦋

Questo profumo è buonissimo, mi ricorda molto Cashmere Mist di Donna Karan, che è il mio profumo preferito in assoluto, ma che purtroppo è poco resistente sulla mia pelle e dopo tre quattro ore non si sente più... invece questo Bellissima Intense è un pò fruttato all'inizio, ma quando si scalda sulla pelle, le note di fondo sono meravigliosamente cremose di cashmere, vaniglia e sandalo, nel complesso il profumo ha un buonissimo odore "di pulito" e di "baby", ed è molto persistente! E'proprio un ottimo profumo, io lo ricomprerò sicuramente perchè mi piace davvero molto, è il mio tipo!

Never having tried Lipstick On, and with a message from a fellow Fragrentica member advising me to buy this .............. WOW ! This is beautiful. And also , I have nothing like this in my collection. Feels like a nice Chanel with a "make up / face powder / lipstick" vibe. Quality & nuance is there -- like there is several things going on at once in this . Happy . Safe blind buy - although- not really 100% wax lipstick forward . Longevity ? I'll get back to you . I'm letting this sit for a while ........

I find this perfume absolutely intoxicating. Smoother and creamier than the original Bellissima, this dries down into a sensual and creamy floral/fruity woody vanilla musk on my skin. I would wear the Intense version in cooler weather and the original version, which is more sparkly and light, in warmer weather. While this is not a heavy scent by any means, it lasts for days when sprayed on clothes. This perfume is an exclusive to Holt Renfrew department stores in Canada at the time of this review.

As with all newly purchased perfumes: this one needs to be used a bit for a few weeks-- then it needs to "sit" for a while (6 months) and you will notice it will be a bit stronger! For the cost -- this is really good as a "daily dumb grab". It reminds me of Flower Market AND Lipstick On ! P.S. to blind buyers - when you first spray this on, you may go "Oh, generic: I've smelled this before" . BUT let it settle and the "creamy magic" will happen.

Konga5000- I may be wrong here but this perfume came out in 2010, and we’re all just buying from discounters which has just had it sitting around for how many years? Would letting it sit for 6 months once it hits the consumers closet really be doing anything here? Let me be clear I hope you’re right because that’s the only thing lacking, but it does not seem to add up to me.

Super smooth, creamy, powdery-woody and comforting scent. My boyfriend kept sniffing and sniffing like a dog! :D I like these powdery scents that give you a feel of soft and clean dryness. It is certainly beautiful and just special to me. The glass bottle with the heavy lid looks so precious. High quality, long lasting and so dreamy. I love it.

Just a tip for those who are missing the sadly discontinued LIPSTICK ON. I layer this with just a spritz of Blanc de Courreges, and this combination is the closest thing I can find. I'm savoring my remaining 1/2 bottle of Lipstick On, and this combo is a great casual substitution for the price without feeling wasteful of a cherished favorite!

I absolutely adore this. A creamy, powdery, lipstick scent with the very faintest woody ness. I would be obsessively purchasing a back up bottle (how could you not for $35??) but it seems to just straight disappear on my clothes within an hour, SO SAD.

I think Bellissima smells nothing like Lipstick On,however, it does mimic cosmetics. The opening has a hint of old fashioned citrusy note. The base note reminds me of Burberry London for Women. It is a safe and feminie scent.

I bought it a week ago after smelling it on a paper strip and loving it.it's very different on my skin.it was a very dry woody and powdery scent on paper but on my skin,it's sweeter,very creamy and more flowery scent I still find it pretty and likable.it's not a very unique or standout fragrance but it's very versatile,lovely,smooth.it's inoffensive and office friendly but I don't find it boring.I can feel almost all the notes listed here eventhough they're blended well. notes go through three different stages very smoothly. initial blast is more fresh with spicy citruses,some grapefruit and orange spiced with a hint of ginger,it's refreshing and alluring.middle notes appear with soft florals,I can feel lots of flowers here(passion flower and heliotrope are dominant) and they're all very well blended and not sharp at all.it soon dries down to a silky,creamy scent.florals wrapped in warm skin like musk,cashmere wood and sandalwood I agree with a review below that says it's rich and also isn't heavy at all. for me,bellisimia intense is my lovely cashmere sweather that I can cuddle in it.it's warm,comforting and also fresh and alluring. I like this clean yet warm,comforting creamyness very much,so I'm very happy to own it. longevity is 6-7 hours on my skin with barely moderate sillage.It's a 4season frag but I think mild weather is the best.I like it's heavy,simple also elegant bottle very much.blumarine perfumes have really great bottles ❤❤❤ Overall rating:6.5/10 Edit: It's been two years that I have this perfume and I don't wear it much but I sometimes crave it. Once,I decided to give it away but now I think good that I kept it. It's very creamy and I sometimes find it yummy,it reminds me a ketogenic,buttery home made bread I sometimes bake and eat it with almond butter and orange slices but all in all it's not a gourmand or really sweet.Bellissima intense is a combination of creamy woods,powdery flowers and creamy citruses. I think it best suits office wear and can make a good gift for a +30 lady Edit: it's powdery, creamy undertone smells very makeup-like. it's as if I'm smelling a foundation's creamy scent, a lipstick's waxy scent and a face powder's powdery scent at the same time. ترکیبی از چوب های نرم و خامه ای،گلهای پودری و مرکبات خامه ای.عطر کاملا گرم و نرم و چوبی هست،یجورایی کره ای هست،زیادی شیرین نیست با اینحال گاهی یه رایحه خوراکی طوری ازش میگیرم.شبیه نون یا کیک خونگی که روش کره و کره بادوم مالیده شده باشه. رایحه بلیسیما اینتنس، در عین تمیز بودن، گرم و نرم و سافت هست. ضمنا یادآور بوی لوازم آرایش هم هست. مثل ترکیبی از بوی کرم پودر و رژلب و پنکک برای محل کار و استفاده تو پاییز خیلی مناسبه شیشه قشنگی داره و بعنوان هدیه برای یه خانوم سی سال به بالا خیلی مناسبه

This perfume is simply wonderful! It has all the notes I could be looking for in a perfume and it smells how Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan should smell according to me. Bellissima Parfum Intense is like a cuddle, smells like a soft sweater on you, like a gentle caress. It opens up a bit, but only a bit, citrusy and spicy thanks to the orange, grapefuit and ginger. Passion flower and jasmin play a key role in the heart of the fragrance and give it a feminine touch but I would say that the main character here is the cashmere wood, extremely well used and very well balanced among the rest of the composition. The fragrance doesn't change so much on skin, it remains subtle and gentle all along, it has like an aromatherapy effect and takes you to a dreamland whenever you wear it. Highly recommended.

This fragrance reminds me of 2 things concurrently - first, especially in the opening, is a somewhat typical designer white floral. It reminds me a bit of something by Lancome (it has their signature french twist). The second thing that this reminds me of, especially in the drydown, is Maison Margiela's Lipstick On. I wish it fully just transformed to Lipstick On and stayed that way. It doesn't - I consistently get alternating wafts between the two (even well into the drydown)- sometimes if a fresh floral, sometimes it's LO. The LO vibes are enough for me to wear this on the days that aren't special enough to be worthy of my beloved, discontinued LO. I'm not typically a white floral fresh girl but I tolerate it in this in exchange for the occasional LO notes.

Objections's review is spot on. Bellisima Parfum Intense is a "cosmetic" scent. Initially, upon spritzing, I thought, "How generic!" After a minute or two, I thought, "This smells like the cosmetics department in a high end department store." It doesn't smell bad by any means, but it just smells like a good quality face powder or maybe an upmarket hair product. If you're looking for something along those lines, and you see it at a good price, go for it. But I personally wouldn't recommend paying full price unless you've tried it first.

Oh wow what a great little blind buy. I told myself no more blind purchases but this was at such a great price. I am very pleased. This goes on very soft and gentle, so gentle in fact that you wonder if it will have any smell or lasting power. Well it sure does last! The fragrance is extremely feminine, powdery, floral.. there are several things going on here but they all blend so beautifully. I've got over 100 perfumes and none that smell similar to this one. Great score probably would appeal to the 25+ crowd.

I second DaisyQ that this one is creamier/smoothier than the original (which I own). Though also more monotone... From the beginning till the end it stays quite the same, while the original starts with a fresh and sunny morning and dries down in a more cosywoody feminine midday. I don't know if 'intense' is a right add to the name, since I think this one has a more dreamy charactre. And I could swear there is some vannila in it! Citrusses and ginger are barely noticable.
