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.

I tried 3 other perfumes along with this one..they didn't stand up to it! This one made the biggest impression of all! This is, at least on my skin, very very similar to Naomagic .. since this one was discontinued, this could be a solid replacement for all its lovers! It's so so pretty, powdery sweet, very delicious, makes you smell the spot you sprayed all the time .. cozy and warm. I could still smell it on my skin 6 hrs after the spraying!

Starts with a green fresh lemon note which I agree smells old fashioned. I love old fashioned stuff so its great for me. I can smell a lot and I mean A LOT of softness and creaminess... like powder, iris, creamy sandalwood ala TF Santal Blush. Some feminine orchids. Heliotrope, sandalwood and cashmere wood are the most prominent. A super ultra feminine cosy perfume. Yes very reminiscent of expensive makeup :)

I agree with the reviewer who described it as rich without being heavy. That is so true! It is creamy and smooth, quite a crowdpleaser and last pretty well. I like it! Even though Bellissima Intense has some "body" to it, it still manages to be quite fresh in a way. I don`t get a heavy powdery note on me, like some others have experienced. Also the price of it is not too bad. A good blind buy for me :)

Bought this because of the good reviews here. It has a sweet and powdery smell, not too overpowering. But I feel the longevity and silage is not that strong, even when I spray a lot. Could be because of the all day hot weather here. But I feel this is more perfect for cool rainy day weather. Still, I love it!

My mother always returns from Italy with new perfumes for me (both addicts) and I have to say I had never tried bluemarine before. Bellissima Parfum is just that.....Beautiful, very soft feminine scent. I love it!.....wish it lasted a bit longer on my skin.

This is ridiculously delicious. It's über smooth and über creamy, it feels like being wrapped in a richly floral cashmere cloud. I was a bit leery of the ginger, but it's seamless and clean. Definitely recommend

Spectacular perfume with a fantastic triumph of orchid and heliotrope! I highly recommend it to the fairer sex!

Beautiful, delicate floral, sweet, creamy and powdery, very feminine.

Pencil shavings...powdery lipstick... slightly sour fruits... ginger. Sometimes it is also more soapy, then flowers, then aromatic and powdery. Not very well blended, kinda... It also creates a slight vinegar note on me. I can't say I like this - it smells like someone just threw a bunch of stuff together and called it a day. Very 2005. When this dries down properly and discipates a little, what is left is a lipstick smell with slight sourness and gingeriness. Not bad, but not that special either.

I get a bright grapefruit right off the bat, and then some orange right after, it is very pleasant. It does get a bit creamier quickly, and is lovely. I wish this was a better made perfume, because it only lasts maybe half an hour and if I put 4-5 sprays on each wrist and into my elbow. I think it will be nice for the summer and is so inexpensive I can reapply and not feel badly about it. This is nice, nd cheerful, just no staying power. I am hoping it does a little better in the heat.

Sweet, powdery woods... so warm and almost yummy. Starts strong and almost powdery, with floral notes.. Dries down pretty quickly, whish surprised me, but the base sticks around for quite awhile (7+ hours on my skin), becoming almost a warm skin and cashmere woods scent with a hint of heliotrope. Sweet but not overly so. I think Im in love.... Like a sexier, less sweet, *almost* night time version of Mon Guerlain.... almost. ;)

Great longevity, I can still smell it after a whole day, and just the right amount of sillage to be noticed without being overpowering. The only problem is the scent, I know some people really like it but it's not quite my style, I find it too creamy and... typical? maybe it works much better in dry, gloomy, or snowy weather but this is not what I want to wear on a daily basis, too mature even for my age. However I must say it's very well blended, and I second with Melia, the scent changes in the first 5 mins but after that it stays exactly the same till the end. Now I am going to swap it for a better one, nice package though.

Bellissima Parfum Intense by Blumarine is a cozy sweet floral blend of creamy cashmere wood and vibrant passion flower. A lovely skin quality musk with a bit of ginger and just a touch of tartness from the grapefruit. This is such a nice fragrance, but I can tell that the passion flower (or quite possibly the ginger) unfortunately does not blend well with my body chemistry. It would appear from the votes that this fragrance works for a lot of other people and is definitely enjoyed!

Fits the same bill as Cashmere Mist edp. In my collection, it is redundant. I'm always desperate to try things with a passionflower note. On me, it's not noticeable in this. Cheap enough for a blind buy, but unless you're looking for another warm powder dealio, keep expectations somewhat low.

I got this because of the comparisons w Lipstick On. It starts out beautifully w powdery goodness, but dries down really weird on me. With a cloying and sour, old, wet dishrag (!) scent. Very unpleasant. Couldn’t stand it and had to scrub it off. Decluttered right away. I’ve gone through the notes and can’t for the life of me explain the dry down. Does anybody else experience this?

I have a several samples of this that came in a grab bag that I got some time ago. So, I tried this out a few times, and here are my findings. I’m not getting the Lipstick On impression too much although it does have a bit of a cosmetic smell in the beginning, no doubt about that. If you really want a good replacement for Lipstick On, try L’Initial by Guerlain. I own L’Initial and the iris is the same, but L’Initial does not dry down quite as sweet. I prefer that because too much sweetness can become too cloying on me and give me headache/nausea. Same thing happens with Armani’s Terra di Gioia in the dry down, for instance....but I digress Bellissima intense. Starts a bit citrusy with an orange/grapefruit/ginger combination that not too sweet or too tart. Then, for the heart I do pick up the peony in this, but I don’t know about the passion flower or jasmine. They seem to play second fiddle to peony on my skin. It then dries down to a sweet (but not too sweet) sandalwood musk with vanilla orchid and a bit of cashmere wood and heliotrope that gives it a bit of powder feel. I agree that it starts to smell like D&G The One. I think I like this much better though because that peach/lychee combination of notes in The One can really sing off key at times on my skin and the lily can create even more of a dissonance. 😖 Although they don’t smell alike, this does have a similar vibe as VS Heavenly because they both have that powdery “my skin, but better” quality. I think this might work year round. Although I really can not smell it on myself after 10 minutes (which tells me it’s working nicely with my skin chemistry) I know that others can because I got compliments while wearing this. Because of that, I can gauge that the sillage is about 4-5 feet away and projecting for about 3 hours before fading to a skin scent. This can be bought for a good price online. Would also be good to wear everyday. I don’t think anyone could be offended by this. If they are, they’re just trying too hard to be offended to bring attention to themselves and take away your shine. My advise? Ditch them and keep the perfume. Can’t have that kind of negativity around. 😉

another blind buy and this time its a big like . I bught this in the search for a listick scent and im happy about it . starts out abit generic . But when its ettles mmm. so delicious warm waxy lipsticky . I do gte it when people compare this to Lipstick one Margiela . they do have something in common , but not alike , But still if you cant find Lipstick on and looking for something similer i would suggest this one . but this is warmer ,more velvety soft in away. I realy havent tryed nor could i realy pick the notes apart from each other in this . i did wear it yesterday and had it on doing gardening outside in slightly cold weather. It worked like a charm in that cool air. keept getting wafts of it around me. I dont think gardening is the right wear for this though ;). Its abit more chic then that , for shoppping ,meeting friends and also i feel this was empovering in a strange way . i feelt put togehter and confident wearing it. If your looking for slightly fruity waxy not to serious lipstick scent try this on out . cheap aswell . although i have heard its discountinued . but its still around . I did have to spray alot on to feel it staing for a wild . But i dont mind that . So i would say it is medium strong 3-4 hours . Lingers soft for the rest of the day.

So, I love lipstick-y, makeup powdery scents and read the reviews here and bought it. Unfortunately, it is nowhere near what I was hoping for. The opening which lingers through out the whole (short) longevity just makes it ugh. For me the grapefruit is just too much in your face. It’s like a sour smack, which calms down but it’s always there lingering throughout. And to be honest it does not give me any lipstick feels, maybe a little makeup ish but the grapefruit is just too overwhelming. Sad really, because I do believe it would have been such a good scent without that note. Needless to say, I won’t be buying another bottle when this is empty - if it ever will be. Edit: I still haven’t changed my mind about this scent. Too sour and bitter for my taste, but I wanted to share a discovery I made. I was gifted Byredo slow dance and the dry down on this and that perfume is sooo similar. To the point I couldn’t tell them a part on each arm. So this is not just a perfect replacement for lipstick on, but also for Byredo slow dance. Keep in mind that they are not similar in the first 15-20 minutes, but then.. can’t smell them apart. This is obviously much cheaper, so I thought I should share my discovery🫶🏼

firstly, the bottle is nice heavy glass and the lid is solid glass as well. it would make a good burglar stopper if thrown accurately. but the label on the front is a piece of ribbon that is glued on making its presentation look cheap. this was an online blind buy. i dont know what to think of the juice as yet, on me it disappears very quickly for an intense version but still testing. update to come update. a bad blind buy for me. i dont like it. it reminds me of sofia vergara but not with the same notes but strong and sickly. its sweet but overpowering. its one of those i cant scrub it off fast enough but of course it never comes off completely. my own opinion on my skin. i took a gamble. it failed. i lose. :(

I can see how this could be underrated. You really have to be into powdery makeup scents to enjoy this. On top of that, it’s not near as strong as lipstick on, narciso rouge, etc. BUT if you love makeup scents and traditional makeup scents tend to be a little too strong (like for me) then this is your jam. It did have to grow on me but I love this stuff, I wear it to bed and it’s so comforting or it’s great for layering and for the price, how could you pass?!

I picked this up at Winners for a really good price, a blind buy. It is a really pretty fragrance, very elegant and smooth. I can't really pick out any definite notes, but it has a very ladylike aura. I feel that is similar in style to Bulagari Femme, very feminine and somewhat formal. Unfortunately the dry down is very powdery on me, straight up baby powder, which always leaves me feeling queasy. So it will be going back to Winners to wait for a new home.

Bellissima Intense smells amazing! I did not think much of it till I tried it yesterday. It starts woody and floral with orchid drying down quite musky with a hint of ginger. As simple as the composition is this smells really beautiful and extremly feminine It gets a bit sweet and creamy from heliotrope and this Intense version lasts quite a bit too. It's a very elegant scent suitable for day wear inmy opinion. Sillage and longevity are pretty good.

Wow! Saw this today at makeup addicts' store. The gorgeous salmon drew me in! This is so pretty, feminine, soft and "skin". It is not "clean" as in soapy, shampoo-y, body splash. It is clean as in not needing to wash. Smells so much like "colette" from ?annouk gattal?? (I know I massacred that one). The bellissima has HOURS AND HOURS of lasting power, but colette wore off quickly. No one could possibly be offended by this!

I have tried the original and loved it but wanted something a little more intense and it seems like this is just the ticket...except I cannot find it anywhere!! Does anyone know where I can find it in a store to try it? I always try before I buy because anything remotely powdery becomes extremely powdery on me.

Wasn't sure if I wanted to hold onto this one or swap it so I gave it a spray tonight and I thought "wait a minute that smells a bit like..." Then I got out my Hugo Boss Orange and sprayed it on the other hand. Bellisima is a toned down Boss Orange with a touch more floral(?) - I think I'll keep it:)

A lovely perfume providing the wearer with something a little different from mainstream perfumes. Like others have said its rich creamy and sensual. It is "Super smooth.... powdery-woody" and a very comforting scent. I will definitely be buying another bottle when this one is empty.

I loved this perfume. it definitely is my signature scent ! Very feminine and lovely. Kinda classy and elegant every time I wear it. The unsweetened caramel and citrus floral mixture makes it wearable at any time. How good it is if it comes with body cream and shower gel.

This scent starts fruity and generic but it becomes more and more creamy and cozy by the minute. The scent reminds me of DG The one desire. It is fruity and candied with a very sweet sandalwood base. Lovely and a very affordable. Soft silage and moderate longevity.

Lipstick makeup scent all the way. I love it, this is my kinda scent. I’m glad I own it. Get your hands on this one if you are missing Replica “lipstick on” from Maison Martin Margiela. 10/10 drys down very nice on my skin, nothing unusual at all

I have had this bottle for 3 years now.. It took FOREVER to "mature" but -- it did ! It projects now and if you want a "budget lipstick" , I don't know anything better than this. Just let it sit for a LONG time and then get back to it.
