Bella Vita

I have tested it in a perfume store, This perfume starts with fresh cherry and black currant scent in the top notes, then in the middle notes the flowers scent started to appear, Orchid is the star of the flowers here while it remains to the dry down, until you get sweety balanced fragrance of Tonka Bean and Praline mixed with fresh Musk and Amberwood, so the perfume in the dry down seems you smell sweety gourmand cacao mixed with fresh orchid, plus cherry with clean musk and woods in the background. If you didn't smell this perfume before, I advise that you can blind buy, because this perfume is very Balanced sweety gourmand woody fresh orchid with cherry fragrance, I advise any lady needs a perfume suitable for her occasions or wants to choose her first sweety perfume to include it to her own collection. special perfume I don't agree that it's a dupe of "Carolina Herrera Good Girl", it's not a dupe at all, I think this perfume seems like "Enhanced version" of "Carolina Herrera Good Girl". It is much better than it, in addition to its reasonable price. This fragrance suitable to wear it at night, in Autumn or winter seasons, It lasts 12 hours on the leather and more than one day on clothes. لقد جربته في متجر للعطور، يبدأ هذا العطر برائحة الكرز الطازج والكشمش الأسود في النوتات العليا، ثم في النوتات الوسطى تبدأ رائحة الزهور في الظهور، زهرة الأوركيد هي نجمة الزهور هنا فهي تستمر حتى الوصول لقاعدة العطر، لتحصلين على رائحة متوازنة حلوة من حبوب التونكا والبرالين الممزوجة بالمسك الطازج وخشب العنبر، لذلك يبدو العطر في القاعدة وكأنكِ تشمين رائحة الكاكاو الحلو اللذيذ الممزوج بالأوركيد الطازج، بالإضافة إلى الكرز مع المسك النظيف والأخشاب في الخلفية. إذا لم تشمِ هذا العطر من قبل، أنصحك بإمكانك شرائه شراءً أعمى، لأن هذا العطر متوازن جدًا، فهو حلو لذيذ خشبي مع الأوركيد الطازج ورائحة الكرز، أنصح أي سيدة تحتاج إلى عطر مناسب لاحتفالاتها وأعيادها ومعظم مناسباتها أو تريد اختيار أول عطر حلو لها لضمه إلى مجموعتها الخاصة. عطر مميز لا أوافق على أنه يمتلك رائحة مطابقة لِ "جود جيرل من كارولينا هيريرا"، فهو ليس رائحة مطابقة على الإطلاق، أعتقد أن هذا العطر يبدو وكأنه "نسخة محسنة" من "كارولينا هيريرا جود جيرل" بل أفضل منها بمراحل كثيرة، بالإضافة لسعره المعقول. هذا العطر مناسب لارتدائه في الليل، في فصل الخريف أو الشتاء، ويدوم 12 ساعة على الجلد وأكثر من يوم على الملابس.

My goodness, this fragrance is sooo scrumptious! WOWIE!!🤩 I swear I smell an almond note complimenting a warm boozy cherry, but it’s not listed in the notes. It must be the praline. This was a blind buy, which I almost never do, but because it was so affordable I felt that a leap of faith was warranted. From the very first spritz, I was struck speechless by the beauty and performance of Bella Vita. My GOSH this juice is sooo delicious, so gorgeous🥰🥰 I’m actually giving serious thought on making this my new signature, because as much as I love my current one (Indigo by Nest) it’s much more expensive than Bella Vita. And BV performs just as well as Indigo. I love finding a cheapie frag that performs like a scent three or four times as expensive. I have a small handful of these oh-so-wonderfully-affordable lovelies, and currently, Bella Vita is by far my most favorite of them. Yup. I think I have to make this my ride or die😅 I do smell a VERY SLIGHT similarity to Good Girl (which I also own, YUM!😋), but it’s quite short lived. Any similarity lies mostly in the opening notes, with the cherry and that nutty, marzipan-like scent being very forward in this stage. There’s hardly any similarity to GG in the intermediary notes, and none whatsoever in the final dry down. The dry down is what I love most about it, it resolves into a soft, sweet, ambery/vanilla/musky/warm skin scent. Bella Vita isn’t a massive beast in terms of silage and longevity. However, BV’s performance is definitely above average, and I find that completely acceptable for a heavenly edp I spend only $30 on.

I blind bought this a few days ago at Ross. It was only about $17 so I feel like I came up on a steal and I’m glad I bought it! It does remind me of Forvr Mood “She Was Here” but without that pistachio & something else on the back end which ended up making me not like it and I really wanted to like She Was Here(SWH); but contrastly the nuttiness in the praline is very tolerable for me in Bella Vita. But oddly enough I feel like SWH also reminds me of the Kayali Pistachio Gelato? But I’d need to retest it to be sure. Will be a different post, but it just came to mind..anywho.. Back to Bella Vita, You get the Sour Cherry & Lemon once it sits & settles down; for me I don’t get the Cherry off rip, it’s probably the Black Currant initially (for my body chemistry/nose) but they Cherry comes in later & it’s nice. I like the Tonka Bean on this as well; makes it gourmand. It’s pretty pronounced and gives it a deeper richer vanilla vibe w/out it coming off vanilla-y, if that makes sense? This is a sweet one, which I love. Sweet perfumes are my go-to. But if you don’t like sweet, this may not be for you. Overall, it seems nice for a nice out, date night, warm weather vibe where it can really permeate & become pronounced. I also blind bought Oscar De La Renta “Alibi - Eau So Charming” and it reminds me of that. They both have that Tonka Bean, Nuttiness(Praline), Citrus (Bergamot), and fruity-ness. So I think they’d layer well together. I’ll try to add it in the ‘reminds me of’ section but I’m still new to this so not sure when it’ll show up.

No one seems to know this perfume in France or in the fragrance enthusiasts social medias since I saw no one talking about this affordable cheap perfume. Guess isn't the designer that makes the most high end fragrances, we all know they're strong for making cheap, affordable perfumes that can be tops or flops depending on your tastes. This one is a sweet EDP, a sugary Sour Cherry surrounded by fruity and yummy notes such as the Italian Lemon, the Black Currant, the Praline and a slight vanilla aspect with the Vanilla Orchid, the creaminess of the white florals such as the Tuberose, the Jasmine. The Tonka bean and Amberwood being here to create some depth in the scent are slight but right. It lasts surpisingly good on clothes, and on the skin it's more random. Sometimes it lasts long sometimes only one full hour... But it's a cheap fragrance from Guess I ain't surprised by this aspect, I knew it was going to be mid on that part. Apparently it is supposed to be a Carolina Herrera Good Girl dupe. Not sure it is a dupe, but few notes are similar. Good Girl just doesn’t have that prominent Sour Cherry but unlike Bella Vita, it has those Cacao/Coffee/Almond notes that helps the fragrances to still set a difference between themselves. But as previously quoted the longetivity of Bella Vita is nothing compared to the excellent lasting power of Good Girl Supreme for example... For me it smells yummy and fruity, something nice for the cold seasons. It's a solid 6.5/10

This was a total blind buy for me & I generally gravitate towards vanilla scents, but it was such a good price I thought id give it a go in the 30ml. I received a sample of Versace Euros EDT ages ago and was surprised at how much I loved it - ended up buying a big bottle...(which is now abt 4 pumps short of empty) It was sweet and juicy and didn't have an initial alcohol smell like so many perfumes do. When I smelt Bella vita I was shocked at how similar they felt in spirit. I would class this as a more floral forward version of Versace Euros EDT, its still sweet and juicy but with more of a tuber rose presence to it. I'm not big on floral perfumes but I think this may get me trying more. If you like Versace Euros EDT - I think you will like this also. The bottle is a lot cheaper feeling (as mentioned below) than the Versace Euros Pour Femme EDT which was a bit disappointing but it was almost half the price, easier to get my hands on and it still looks nice from a far. (Versace EDP seems to be everywhere but I love the EDT) I feel myself wanting to grab for Bella Vita alot, its yummy sweet & girly without being juvenile.
