Bellissima

This fragrance is a standout (quite a feat when you consider a new scent is released practically every day somewhere in the world). From the classic elegance of the bottle shape to the romantic color of the pale rose-colored juice inside, this perfume is not your average department store release. I have already gone through 2 sample vials and loved every minute I wore this scent. It is described as a floral musk but I would never guess there is floral in this. It reminds me of a slightly creamier/fruitier Bvlgari Au The Blanc. And I do mean "slightly". Top notes: dew drops, ginger, grapefruit and orange Mid notes: peony and passionflower Base notes: sandalwood, musk, cashmere and vanilla blossom It is extremely well blended, no one note dominates. And it is subtly sensual. In fact, I would love to know which note, or combination of notes, evokes this feeling, I would search it out in other fragrances. Given its romantic sensuality, it would work well as an evening scent. And yet, I would not hesitate to wear this to the office, because it has a sheerness to it, like the aforementioned Au The Blanc. It had good lasting power on me, I'd say 5 hours on the skin and all day when spritzed on clothing. This is unlike any other scent I've sniffed and I've sampled quite a few (h/e, niche, department store - you name it).

Bellissima doesn't smell like anything else in my collection. It also doesn't smell like it's a stand out original ~and yet~I think this may be a deceptive impression. This is quickly becoming a "go~to" scent for me. Not because it's conveniant or inoffensive but because I find it irresistable. I love love love the fresh grapefruit opening. I don't normally love this note but it's done spectacularly here. It's softened in all the right places and yet remains the star note on my skin throughout it's dry down. The passionflower blends w/the grapefruit and keeps it tangy while the base notes usher in that downy soft background. Bellissima manages both a tart and fresh feeling as well as having a comfort to it. This is where it captures me. Until this beauty~I'd yet to find a one that could pull this off like she can. I find her exquisitely feminine and very easy to wear. Sillage is a 6/10 for me. Longevity I'd put at about 5 hours. On the one hand I'd love for it to last a bit longer~on the other it's an complete pleasure to get to respray and start w/the top notes all over again. I love the way this makes me feel. A pick me up of a scent while at the same time managing to invite a snuggle. I think I may actually end up w/another bottle.

This one is very fresh and almost the same as YSL "In love again" original in green box. I have tested them today both on my both wrists and resemblance is very very close! I adore YSL and now instead of paying huge amount of money for discontinued YSl i will stock up with "Belissima". Thank you Blumarine for this wonderful and fresh fragrance that is perfect for the hot summer days and nights. Floral-citrus-fresh fragrance that is so innocent and uplifting!

I love this fragrance... this is my fravorite. It smells a little generic but delicious.

Bellissima is pretty, feminine and gentle perfume with a friendly and pleasant personality. I am thinking about a charming girl from a small town, sweet and happy, who enjoys simple things in life. There is absolutely nothing dramatic about this scent but it is lovely and pleasant to wear everyday or to give as a gift. Bellissima is a simple floral scent with a hint of citrus and sheer, lovely wood base. I usually like citrus openings and this one is so nice. The citrus notes are tender and refreshing. The scent develops into a peony bouquet with a bit of passion flower. I know that many reviewers mentioned passion flower as the main note but to me this is a big and lovely bouquet of peonies. Thankfully I do not find it synthetic or boring as peony note in many other perfumes. It is nice and the light citrus freshness from the top notes floats into the heart and makes this perfume airy and fresh. There is a slight powdery note in the peony bouquet but it does not ruin the scent. It just adds cuteness to the scent – like a cosmetic accessory on a vanity table beside the bouquet of peonies. The base notes are light but pleasant woods. The sillage is close to the skin but it works with the coy personality of this perfume and the scent lasts for a while. Overall score 7/10. This is a lovely everyday scent. It works well in warmer weather, especially in spring. I recommend it if you prefer girly, floral scents with a gentle personality.

stop fooling, there is no single rose in this perfume, what are you talking about a rose bouguet or similarities to paul smith rose perfume nore there is any green note in it. it is a feminine, very clean scent (without scratchy citrus notes or overbaring green notes). i can feel here a really intense passionflower, which i do love very much on perfumes, and the peony is also very prominent. the perfume has in instant refreshing and living up blast with grapefruit and ginger, then it becomes sweet velvety and creamy, some hints of vanilla, not sickengly sweet or overbearing, just a tad and silky csahmere wood lingers in perfect harnony with the musky base... musk is a bit sultry and powdery, still paired with the pureness and innocence of the beautiful exotic floweraroma from the heart... quite sexy but subtle. very nice sillage, longivity i don t know yet but seems to be very okay!! thumbs up for this nice lil' fragrance! bellissima suits its juice perfect. Sophie Labbe is always cosntructing such soft and harmonic very feminine compositions. this one is no exeption, great job! reminds me strongly to CK eternity summer 2010 but this one is far better !

This is a very pretty fragrance to wear if you like grapefruit. I personally dislike grapefruit in my perfumes. It always smells synthetic. I can definitely smell aquatic notes and a touch of peony as well. I was surprised that I loved the drydown. The grapefruit toned way down, and what was left on my skin was like some kind of sweet hard candy, but light enough that it doesn't smell gourmand in any way. I have to say that out of all the grapefruit perfumes I've ever smelled, I think Bellissima is the most well-crafted, classy, and beautiful. edit: after reading more reviews, I am adding that IMO Bellissima smells nothing like The One.

This fragrance is surprisingly long lasting, I would say a good 6-7 hours, albeit quite subtle with medium sillage. Pretty without any outstanding notes, a good day time fragrance that is feminine and powdery. I personally cannot discern any citrus worth acknowledging, it's just a lovely soft powdery floral. And there's nothing wrong with that at all. If you can find a tester online (which is what I did), then you've got yourself a perfectly lovely day time fragrance at a bargain basement price. This will not offend anyone because it's ladylike and composed.

in the end I've changed my mind about this perfume...I've received it as a gift and, trying to be polite, I opened the bottle and sprayed on my wrist. i don't know what was wrong with the tester, but now I love it. it starts fresh and sparkling, ginger and grapefruit above all,then become floral but sweet (maybe thanks to passion flower,)young and radiant. the end is tender too, but luckily not powdery! very feminine and seductive in a soft way, just the kind of perfume loved by men - even if we often choose strong perfume trying to be sexy...

Superfresh & wonderful. Light and airy and yet intensive around me. On my skin topnote gives a lot of citrus, base gives great musk and sandalwood, with some flowery notes. Perfect for every-day-use. Longlasting om my skin. Superfräsch & härlig. Lätt och luftig men ändå tydlig runt mig. På min hud ger toppnoten fräsch citrus och basen ger musk och sandelträ med blommiga inslag. Perfekt varje-dag-doft. Håller länge på min hud.

I really do like this but it's a bit too heavy for me. Just one sniff gives me a headache. Other than that, I think it's lovely! A very powdery, watery, floral feminine fragrance that is perfect for daytime. I wish there was an eau de toilette formula that wasn't as strong. Longevity isn't very long; probably around 4-5 hours on my skin.

Sweet, citrusy lightly floral scent. Peony is very dominant, but still rather nice in this one. I like it fresh. Citrus notes are also easy to detect. Nice enough, but I expected something more spicy. I can't smell any ginger. I have nothing against it, but I'm not going to buy it for sure.

what a huge disappointment! I thought I'd have loved this one but it's just a copy of D&G The One...and not so longlasting (it lasted only 10min on my pulse points, even less on paper).

I like this scent because it smells like baby powder afterwards

its good. remember me Burberry Touch fo womman

Not a fan of this one, it just smells soapy and powdery to me.

I don't usually post reviews, being that some perfumes aren't great, but are not offensive either, and could be enjoyed by someone, just not myself. That said, as much as I dislike blasting anything, this is one huge disappointent. First off, it's marked as a citrus floral aquatic with spicy undertones. Non of that is true in my book. Given the name, I expected there to be some powder to add delicate femininety, but this is too much! To the point of being headache inducing. I've been wearing it for 3 hours now, siliage (Unfortunatly) seems to be going strong, but but I literally am overwhelmed by a cloying musty "Johnson's Baby Powder" scent... Only worse. NO notes of citris on my skin, nothing "Aquatic", nor white flowers. Just low-quality, but heavy and dry powder. Nothing sexy, romantic, lively... Just nothing.

'High maintenance' in a bottle!! This perfume was a big disapointment. I would classify it as an oriental perfume that is very similar to Tribue by United Colors of Beneton. I ended up giving it to my mom who then regifted it to her sister. My skin type: Oily / Youthful Projection: 6 feet Longevity: 12 hrs + Office safe: No too strong Potency: HEAVY (1 or 2 sprays is enough) Timing: Fall, Winter, Early spring / evenings Cost: $50 for 100 ml / 3.38 oz at Winners / TJ Maxx Will I repurchase: NO Disclaimer: my experience may be different from your experience based on my skin type, the season, and my personal tastes

i'm sorry but i truly dislike this. it smells like toilet wash in the sense that it was hard and acidic like bleach? it was a real smack in the face when i sniffed my sample and i tried to give it a second chance but it smacked me again!(smack i.e huge rush of sharp detergent like substance that caused eye watering). my apologies to those who love it.I am sure it suits different types of body chemistry and someone out there must smell great with it. However it reminds me too vividly of hospital floors and I would prefer not to wear work on me. It's a beautiful bottle though.

Cloying, heavy, not airy, generic. This is not a bad smelling perfume, it could be nice worn in very small doses, but it seems to take my air and Killing my head. It smells so vanillic generic with some flowers. The Citrus is strong in the opening and it giives a false idea of a fresh Citrus scent, but it goes away quite quickly, leaving a brick of synthetycal misc-masc floral-vanillic on the heavy side. Iy could be a better scent if made more accurately, but this way it's just headache in a bottle. Longlasting.
