Mariella

When compared to the other Mariella Burani this one has a bigger fruity presence. Peach in particular and the other Mariella with the roses on the lid has lemon in the top notes instead but other than that these 2 fragrances are quite similar. Like twin sisters who are only told apart by people who really, really know them. One of the sisters may have a different freckle pattern on her face or may have a slightly different shade of the same eye color. Both of these beautiful fragrances are vanillic and rosewood infused hazy floral powdery Orientals. They have that 90s style about them. Which I adore. In The same category as Gucci Accenti, Patou' L'huere Attendue, and Chaldee. If you love floral, sweet fruity powdery and hazy Oriental fragrances you can go wrong with either of the Mariella fragrances. If you like Guerlain Samsara or EL Tuscany per Donna as well.

I'm not sure this is a fragrance I could recommend. It's not exciting...not a statement maker...not unusual in any way that might appeal to a risk taker. Average, by most standards. Forget longevity and projection. It IS, however, somehow PERFECT for me. Mariella is soft, insistent, vulnerable and womanly. It's comfortable in ways only a long time lover gets to see...... the no pretense, unguarded, make-up off kind. You know those Sunday mornings you spend in bed talking for hours, whispering fears and dreams? When it's completely acceptable to feel fragile and know you're protected. Well, so does Mariella. A lovely, well blended faintly floral sandalwood/vanilla mystery. To be honest, the most pronounced note for me seems to be memories.

I personally like it, it's one of the heavier, more sweet&oriental smells. I recommend it for the cold seasons, might be a bit too much for summer.

It sounds wonderful! I wish I could find it!

Wowy =) I didn't expect to find this one on here =) I remember i got this as a welcome home gift set many many years ago from some family friends. I was in my early teens and i didn't really have a "signature" fragrance back then... i was mostly... all over the place, so i didn't appreciate its true value at the time. Now however i can recognize its beautiful qualities and really appreciate it for what it was... and i must say it was a true niche perfume. It smelled like nothing else that i have had and probably wont ever encounter again. It was a well blended mix of opposites... sour citrus like notes mixed in with deep woody flowery ones. It shape shifted during the day and it was truly one of a kind. One other rare quality that it had and i appreciated it even more for it...was the fact that both the shower gel and the body lotion had the exact same scent... not similar... not partial, but exactly the same! And honestly during the summer it was enough to use the shower gel and put on a bit of the lotion and it would smell like u actually had the perfume on. Not to mention that all 3 products had fantastic longevity. Just an all round wonderful creation =) I really wish i could find it again. Its really not a common fragrance!
