Ella Ella

I love this!! Ella Ella will be a purchase for me for next summer. It’s such a creamy, buttery, coconuty, jasmine/orange blossom perfume with a very bright citrus opening and a semi sweet vanilla in the base. What a beauty! Elegant and light, but it's still there, like a subtle breeze in a tropical floral garden on a warm day.. As with many new releases, Ella Ella does reminds me of other tropical vanilla from my collection, butI find this scent so addictive and alluring. From a test store on a blotter is seems to have good lingerie power and a soft sillage. What intrigues me about this is the fact that smells expensive. It’s not screechy, neither synthetic bnor sharp, and smells very well. The bottle looks nice, not necessarily matching the juice, but that plastcky cheap, white butterfly ruins it a bit! Nonetheless with Ella Ella I am sold!!! I don’t know if it’s Dominique Ropion’s magic, but it is amazing. Get this, not Soleil Blanc, it’s similar and ten times cheaper...

The 1st thing that caught my attention was the bottle, it’s simple, minimalistic and feminine. At that the perfume color, a vibrant orange, makes it gourmand and for some reason i was very attracted to it before even knowing the notes. As soon as i read about the notes, i knew i HAD to smell it a.s.a.p and i was right I was extremely pleased! The fruity notes blend with the white flowers and a touch of woods make it a feminine, inoffensive and comforting scent. This is the type of fragrance i spray on myself for people to remember me in a friendly way, like I’m approachable and fun. I dont think it’s supposed to be a perfume signature or statement but it will do the work if you want to make a friendly and young impression.

I'm a Cacharel devotee, so I've ordered this, but my expectations are a little low. I'm anticipating a flowery beachy scent (that I probably already have in my collection, like Alien Goddess or LVEB Cristal Soleil.) I've avoided some of the other recent vanilla/coconut forward releases, though, so maybe Ella Ella won't be TOO samesy. I'll update soon! Update: I came for the bottle, and stayed for the bergamot. It's present from top to mid and then dries down to a LVEB Cristal Soleil smell-alike. I'm a fan, even though it's not very original (And overall a slight bummer for a new pillar.) Lasts for an eternity; 8+ hrs

I was given sample of this and I didn't like it. I used it up spraying in bathroom. Day later, the scent from the bathroom was so nice - I felt I need 30ml bottle. Now I am thinking, this is so lovely - I may end up needing bigger. Yes, it feels familiar - but it is very pretty, soft and the right balance of sweet, flowery and summary. Beautifully blended.

What can I say, my favourite perfumer - DR - I love this perfect spring summer fragrance. Uncomplicated, pretty, light and airy. Juicy and sweet. Definitely a sunny perfume. It’s aimed for a younger market however it’s easy to wear and a nice addition to my collection.
