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.

I have the 30 ml bottle. It lasts about 5 hours in medium intensity and continuous level with the skin. It is a perfume that I like, the first sensation that comes to me is of a cherry aroma, a sweet cherry, creamy thanks to the vanilla and the almond tone of the tonka bean. The orchid flower above all gives density and body to the cherry. With the passage of time, the aroma that remains on my skin is a sweet and almond-shaped cherry aroma and although it is level with the skin, it is very pleasant. The perfume, the aroma if I liked it. It is true that the presentation of the bottle is bad, the first impression or at first glance is beautiful because of its gold, but when you have it in your hand you realize that it is plastic or paste and it is a cheap presentation. It is also true that in my country this perfume is bataro and although the presentation is of low quality, I liked the aroma a lot.

I just picked up a sample of it, and after a few min of dry down (the opening notes are a little harsh and screechy) I was in love. It smelled so familiar and comforting. There’s this sweet, musky vanilla with a hint of caramel and the suggestion of some dark fruit. I know a lot of people compare this to the Good Girl line, but I don’t have that and this smells FAMILIAR. Well after sitting with it and thinking for 10 min - it’s almost a perfect dupe for Valentino Voce Viva! It’s my all time favorite summer scent. I sprayed that on my arm and Guess on my hand and there’s almost no difference. The Guess has a tiny bit more of a praline note to Voce Viva’s vanilla sandalwood, but that’s the only difference. Both are sweet and addicting, comforting and cozy. I wish Bella Vita wasn’t such a skin scent - you really have to overspray and get close to smell it, but it’s a new favorite!

LOVE! I smelled it in a magazine and knew I had to try it, it was so unique. I bought without sampling, as it was impossible to find a sample anywhere (my ONLY complaint). Luckily I found it for a good price and became obsessed immediately. I definitely get the CH Good Girl reference as it is similar, but to my nose and skin chemistry this much more cherry and lemon forward with a beautiful sweetness and woodiness. Where Good Girl lacks in depth and uniqueness, this exceeds. This is intoxicating! I keep smelling myself. It's a sweet (although not overly so, surprising I like it as I am not a fan of sweet scents), fresh woody, cherry smell that would be good for any season, day or night. Scent: 10/10 Sileage: 7.5/10 Longevity: 9/10

This one is very pretty, I love the combination of fruity tartness, the jasmine/tuberose, and the sweetness abit almondy that blends it all together, I blind bought it, as I was fiending for a perfumey version Dahlia from bbw mist which I love, and wphewww zerrooo regrets, it's a beautiful blend!! I'd say it's def prettier and more complex and interesting than Dahlia, which lacks floral and mainly has the pear as the fruity element. Plenty of more expensive perfumes I sampled smell a lot flatter/boring/questionable/just bad, so this one a long its price is imo nice (can always wish it would be cheaper lol xD). It is a fairly sweet scent especially aa it drys down so..if you hate that for some reason, that's my headsup.

Being new to wearing fragrances I ordered a sample vial after reading Jadepo21’s positive review here on Fragrantica. I want to pause and say many thanks 😊 to her amazing reviews, which have guided several of my successful blind buys! 💛 Now back to the fragrance itself on the first sniff I thought meeeh nice but not ground breaking... but a few weeks later I actually wore it and fell in love ! This fragrance is a beautifully soft sweet romantic hug that you never want to end. I have since ordered the full size. I absolutely enjoy the gentle whiffs of smokey cherry mixed with the almond and the ambery vanilla base. I keep sniffing myself and thinking yummy 💛 This is a delicious daily wear or a cozy bedtime fragrance.

The opening of this is lovely and fresh but still sweet. I don’t get any lemon at all, but the cherry and the white florals are light and sweet. The dry down on my skin is super masculine, almost cologne smelling and I can’t pick why. It also depends on where I spray it. On my wrists it keeps the cherry longer, but on my neck it straight up smells like men’s cologne. On my skin it dries super woody and clean musky. Not unpleasant, but I haven’t seen anyone mention how unisex this is, so I’m mentioning that it is possible it might pull that way on others. I do like this a lot though, and I think I’ll be wearing it a lot over summer as it feels very clean and light but with some sweetness.

I think this is a great perfume especially for the price! It smells expensive. The opening is fruity and fresh and sweet and then starts to dry down a little bit more floral and earthy. I don’t know why i could have sworn there was a coffee note here but i guess not. I get about 4-5 hours before wanting to reapply (not bc i can’t smell it but bc i only smell the end of the dry down and while it’s nice i love the opening and heart so much and only a little of that stays till the end) and all perfumes really need reapply every 4-5 hours on me. So on others it may last longer. I find it sexy, pretty, interesting and I like it very much!

Why aren't more people talking about this one? Fabulous! The initial spray I get enveloped in a lovely sweet cloud of berries and light pretty florals. As it settles down the vanilla/praline and tonka come through. Faint woody vibes that can be interpreted as coffee grounds with the sweetness surrounding it. I can see the resemblance to GG Legere or having a GG vibe without the very loud coffee cacao notes, and much smoother. I think this works well in cool weather but can transition from day to night depending how heavily you apply. This to me is one of Guess' best fragrance along with Seductive Noir.

I found this fragrance while browsing online but didn’t have high hopes given some of the reviews here, but I went to the shop and tried it anyway and I’m glad I did! It’s a lovely mixture of fruity and sweet for a scent, easy and inoffensive to wear, great for everyday. The projection and longevity is also surprisingly good considering the notes of this don’t usually perform the best. To top it all off, the price was amazing and it definitely looks and smells more expensive than it is. Scent: 8/10 Projection: 7/10 Longevity: 7/10 Versatility: 10/10 Price (at full price): 10/10 Overall: 8.4/10

A recent buy and I'm in loveeee!!! my bf got it as a gift for his work mate but i just had to get it for myself😆 it's a gourmand bomb - And i mean that in the best way possible. On me, the base notes are the most prominent part of this perfume. I don't get any cherry or lemon but that's okay with me because it still smells SO GOOD. Sometimes the florals peek through the base notes and its always a pleasant surprise. I wear this in any occasion, any mood, any weather. It's that amazing to me. 1000% would repurchase again😋

I have been blind buying perfumes for the past 5 months and am on purchase 12 or so. I've gotten some of the Britney line, Obsession, Pink Sugar, so on and so fourth. This was my favorite of my purchases so far. It is mildly sweet, not too soft or strong and lasted on my skin around 4-5 hours, which is saying something. Most scents are gone like the wind after an hour on me. I love gourmand scents, and would like to find something strong and super sweet. A bit stronger and sweeter than this, though. Would repurchase.

Does not smell like CH Good girl. Not even a bit similar and I have worn Good Girl. This is way smoother, cheerful, and easier to wear than Good Girl. This one is light cherry, lemon, floral but in the back ground, and praline, woods & vanilla. This lasts all day, is not cloying. I’m loving it for summer heat. Works well with my skin chemistry. My current combo fav is to layer Guess Bella Vita with Bath and Body works fire cracker pop bath wash, lotion and spray, and Lolita Lempika perfume.

A blind buy winner! Such a cheapie at Ross but a stunner on my shelf! The moment I sprayed this, I knew this was a Carolina Herrera, Good Girl twin. The notes don’t lineup but IYKYK. I am a huge fan of Carolina Herrera and I love the Good Girl line, especially the OG. I recognized her immediately. Which I like because this is so cheap that I can extend the life of my GG now. The comparisons to SDJ... I don’t get it. Not even a little bit.

This is a sweet little gem. Decadent praline and woodsy musk, it is definitely unisex but not overtly masculine which I love. The slight cherry vanilla lighten the heavier notes and make it less serious. It makes you feel sexy and it smells expensive. Very similar to Good Girl, but somehow reminiscent of Paco Rabanne One Million to me but less vetiver and potpourri, more black currant musk. Now I need something chocolate to snack on.

versace bottle, lmao I thought it smelled like some famous modern perfume, but all of them were too much and not expresive but just overwhelming. shows gourmand notes with flower smells, but not overpowering. Seductive, sweet, flirtatious edit: basic modern in a fun way and still can buy this girl a drink so she'll show you some good time party perfume for attention very nice for those who like fun

oh. my. GOD. sooo, i recently visited a relatives house and as soon as they let me in i smelt it on them, and oh my god was i in LOVE!! i could not sniffing them, it was so embarrassing, i was like a rat with cheese it was so good, its so sweet... but not too sweet to the point it hurts your nose, it was the warm sweet, mixed with fruity and floral, 10/10 EASILY one of my favorites.

Blind buy success! Beautifully blended and excellent value for gourmand lovers. Punches WELL above her weight for cheapie. The initial spray is fruity; then it becomes a sweet, musky floral; but the final drydown is, to me, pure praline. Such an interesting scent profile and surprisingly (given the price point) not linear at all. Seductive, sweet, satisfying, and instantly lovable.

Light sweet, musky, praline, tonka, a little bit floral. I don't smell the top notes listed. Also maybe the cherry is giving off a candy almond smell instead of fruity? I keep sniffing it's addictive. 😅 8/10 Edit: Even as my collection grows I keep coming back just for this perfume. I like how not one note is exactly distinguishable, just a cloud of sweet something floating by.

Incredible cherry praline fragrance with great performance. One of my absolute favorite fragrances. I will be devastated if this ever gets discontinued (it's becoming increasingly difficult to find.) This is so rich and decadent, I love the bottle and it lasts and projects. I don't know what else to say about it. Just buy it, it's like $30.

The sour cherry is so good. The cherry top note reminds me a bit of another surprisingly inexpensive gem, Paris Hilton’s Dazzle. In the middle there seem to be some flowers that my nose kind of skips altogether, but it dries down to ambery almonds and vanilla, which makes this a lovely fragrance in heavy rotation for me this summer.

I absolutely adore this sweet syrupy cherry , it's heavy, slightly soapy , thick and delicious and creamy tonka and praline all thr way through. The cherry never fades I can't see how noses are reviewing this steal of a gem as poor . Thr bottle is cheap tho , the metal is plastic , but juice is intoxicating .

A complete blind buy and I think this might be one of my favourite scents EVER. Beyond elated I snagged a 100ml, because this might end up being my signature perfume LMAO. The soft sweetness is simply ADDICTING! I can't stop sniffing my own wrist... it's just too good.

I am a sucker for a sweet amber fragrance so this got me. It has I Want Choo and even Paradoxe vibes to my nose, and both of those are also loves for me, this one just comes in at a more affordable price point. I find this to be an inoffensive, year-round wear.

I’m absolutely in love with this scent 😍😍 why is it always the cheapies that smell better than the $300 perfumes?? I’m definitely picking up on notes of sour cherry, amber and vanilla. The notes are blended so well together and it’s definitely not overly sour.

An absolute delight with my chemistry. When I first spray it jasmine, jasmine galore. The dry down is beautiful sweet amber. I think its gonna be perfect for fall. I love it and I love the look of the bottle too. It really does remind me of CH Good Girl.

Beast mode! Reminds me of Jimmi Choo I Want Choo. I sprayed it at 8 am and at 7:30 pm, I can stillllllll smells it on me. Unlike other Perfumes that last an hour, at best. This one LASTS! I have over 300 Perfumes. This is top 5 in longevity.

This is such a pretty scent, a blind buy for me, 3rd guess perfume I have got, and I am so surprised I love all 3 of them. The longevity on my skin and DNA only lasts less than 4 hours, but I don't mind reapplying; it's such a pretty scent.

my absolute favourite perfume. love the amber and musky scent. it dries down to a really nice vanilla after a few hours - almost like vanilla ice cream, but not in an overbearingly sweet way. love this scent so much

Just wow! Rich, long lasting, animalistic gourmand fragrance. Can feel it on myself all the time for many hours. Reminds me of typical creations of Paco Rabanne, highly recommending it!

Such an amazing perfume. My signature scent. Very versatile and in between. Can be used as elegant an casual, day and night, winter and summer, it’s sweet but fresh, 10/10.

This is great value for money. Smells gorgeous and has great light longevity and sillage. I really don’t get the comparison the CH Good Girl. It’s nothing like it!

A beautiful fragrance. And bbw's dahlia is a dupe for it. These two layered together are amazing

This is absolutely beautiful for the price, has great lasting power.. Love it.

É muito bom ♥️ e com bastante qualidade para o preço dele..

A truly beautiful perfume! A dupe for good girl

In the initial spray, I get a lot of black currant right off the bat, then praline becomes the second most prominent...The florals and musk arent as present on me, but in general the notes blend together enough its hard to pinpoint what's what.. That isn't a bad thing; the result is creamy and delightful! Def lighter and easier to wear than CH Good Girl, GG was headache-inducing for me and lacks the extra sweetness that Bella Vita has... Its yummy and gourmand but still wearable during summer because of the fruity notes~ It's a great going out scent, and could be worn year round (I personally reach for it during warmer months, but I should really give it a chance for fall and winter to bring some warmth back into my scent wardrobe!) The bottle is absolutely beautiful and I love seeing it on my shelf, but it is plastic and you can tell up close lol

To Nanagram54: This is available in Australia from Priceline and Chemist Warehouse. Priceline give you a pink Guess backpack with it at the moment. Priceline gave me a small sample vial to try for free. I really enjoy it! It’s sweet and comfortable and warming. I get to make and caramel tones, citrus, tuberose and black cherry (I might be imagining the cherry) Maybe not the best for summer but I’m going to buy the 100ml this week. Lasting well on the skin. I’m sorry to read that the bottle isn’t as nice as the pictures thought! :-(

This is such a beautiful & unique perfume! I would recommend it for older / mature women looking for a bold sophisticated & sexy scent. It is quite strong, so you do not need to use a lot. It’s sweet, warm, spicy, & just has this irresistible charm to it. The top cherry notes are quite strong at first, but once it fades the rest of the notes just just blend perfectly together. Although this perfume isn’t quite for me, I highly recommend trying it. I will definitely be trying the other Bella Vita variations.

Good fragrance, suitable for parties as it is stronger in performance - might last an entire party with a maximum of 1 reapply on MY skin. Lasts longer on others. Initially: top notes are prominent, but I couldn't pinpoint sour cherry, until I read it. Maybe a bit of jasmine standing out as well and marzipan. It is very rounded, so it's hard to pinpoint the specific notes, as they are well-combined. I like it, but I am not in love with it. Great to have in a collection.

My mom gave me the body/fragrance mist of this whilleee back and I've loved it a lot. I'm not really smelling cherry or anything, it's very musky and reminds me of the taste of a Werther's caramel. It dries down into that musk as well, so I love pairing this with a sweet or vanilla scent to add complexity. I love the design and the golden color scheme of the bottle as it's very fitting for the scent, but the label is a sticker and is peeling off the bottle a bit.

I just blind bought this and I really like it!! It smells just like the Cheirosa 62 body spray from Sol De Janeiro, but a stronger EDP version of it. It is sweet, vanilla, almond deliciousness! I think it could be worn pretty much any time of the year. Decent longevity, maybe 5 or 6 hours. For the price point, you really cannot go wrong if you like warm vanilla type scents!

Very similar to good girl. I have both- sprayed gg on one arm and Bella on the other. GG has more woody notes and a stronger/ more impactful smell over all. Bella is softer and with much less wood notes. My boyfriend smelled both and said he could smell a slight difference and actually preferred bella. Overall I’m very glad I blind bought this. Pleasant and great value.

This is lovely. It's a familiar scent - I've definitely smelled fragrances just like it before, but I can't recall the names. Fruity, rich, and a bit sour. It makes me think of grenadine. This would be a great club/party scent. I probably wouldn't wear it to work, but that's just me. It could be a good signature for someone with a bold, fun personality.

Bought this one today, a blind buy because it was on sale. I liked it, it is very pleasant, it is not a strong fragrance, feels like eau de toillet, and it is suitable for the spring and summer in my view. The notes I could smell are sour cherry, lemon, black currant, vanilla, tonka bean, musk and amberwood. Nice fragrance 👍🏻☺️

This is the beautiful scent! I can smell praline and tonka bean first of all. It's very similar to Good Girl, but has its own features. I would say, it's sweet, but not sweety, and a little bit bitter. Longevity and sillage are moderate. I have to reapply it during the day. Something touched my soul from the first spray.
