Bella

Les Belles de Ricci was my mother discovery in the 90s. I loved that scent, it became my Signature, and my Only day/summer scent for almost 20 years, and I would never have given it up, but, You know... I remember when I first time tried Bella, her opening is identical to that beloved, discontinued fragrance. That’s enough for me to love Bella too. However, in the absence of tomato leaf and fig (I think there was some oakmoss too), this is not that kind sophisticated, mature, unique signature material (for me), But a playful and interesting sweet scent nonetheless! My skin chemistry loves sweet and this one too. The bitterness of the rhubarb is just right for preventing the scent from becoming childish to me. Still a word of warning; on my daughter’s skin this comes, little bit, in a slightly sweat-like tone, so I recommend trying before you buy. I really love this. I love this like the widow love her next husband. You know...

I remember smelling this one and not liking it at first but coming back to it months later I realize what a gem it is. Oddly enough I detect a pear apple note in this but I think it is the rhubarb that makes it that savory like apple note. This is literally a perfect summer scent that you could also wear in spring and autumn when you want to be reminded of fresh summer mornings. It is a bit soapy but in a very subtle tone, and the citrus is nicely blended with floral notes. Green savory (fruity)and citrusy. A must really. 10/10 I love this more than the DKNY Be delicious yet compared to the Hermes E d rhubarb this one lacks just a tad but I have to add that with Nina Ricci the rhubarb comes off a bit too sweet whereas in Hermes one the rhubarb plays a more tart note, nonetheless this one is a great rhubarb fragrance for rhubarb lovers.

Wow-- THIS is how rhubarb should be done. I was nervous because I blind bought this right after I tried NR Ricci Ricci which also has a rhubarb top note. This is nothing like Ricci Ricci, so if you don't like that rhubarb, don't let that scare you off. That one is medicinal and super sharp. Bella is tart and juicy, and the lemony sweetness weaves in and out with the tartness to produce a beautiful and interesting scent. It has sweetness there, but it's not at all a candy perfume. I'd more call it a rhubarb lemonade-- tart, but just enough sweetness to make it super pleasant. It's unique, it's really wonderful to smell, and the bottle is truly GORGEOUS. I'm happy to say the scent matches the bottle because I absolutely love this!! I think this will really shine in summer weather.

I tried it yesterday. I was so stunning by the botlle!!! First spray...green apples, citrus punch, but nothing that I have smell before. Beauty mix, then is a bit cute bitter and intriguing, but oh I want more of it!!! Then after 30 minutes is so classy and simple. I didn’t say it’s sweet, at least is not that overwhelming sweet. It’s a beauty blend. It s my second Ninna perfum. The first was Ricci Ricci wich has the same rhubarb note, and it was so unique and strong that i used only in winter. But Bella is the fresh and classy version of Ricci Ricci. Actually I was wishing to have a perfum with this note. It stay in my skin for 6 hours. It is lovely and i am so identifying with this fragrance, i m just simply and beauty weird as me.

Freesia can be a no-no note for me, but I just HAD to have this cute bottle in my collection. Hopefully the vanilla will make this a freesia YES. UPDATE to come once it lands in Ohio! It's a YES and even better than I hoped for. This is a vanilla with interest. Lots of sour green notes and the freesia + vanilla effect I'm finding out is a LOVE for me. Performance isn't great, plan to re-spray this one. For those looking for a Liberty Fizz replacement--I own both, & this isn't a dupe but it's in the same family. Bella is definitely a sour gal but sweet, too, with all the vanilla (unlike L'Fizz.) LF performed poorly as well, so I feel that for the money, you may be better off with Bella.

When I first tried it at Sephora on a paper strip I was so disappointed. The bottle is so bautiful so I wanted to love the perfume. I was expecting something competeley different, something for a fairy (maybe with a hint of moss?) but I got kicked with strong sour citrus smell. But I saved the paper strip and put it on my work table and as I was smelling it the whole day I fell in love with it...It still was sour but also sweet at the same time. The strong citrus smell softens as it dries, sourness is then represented by rhuharb with sweet vanilla on the background. The sweetnes and vanilla notes are more prominent on my skin than on a paper strip.

Super strong rhubarb opener, a little syrupy with lemon tartness and sweetness. The strong tartness eases as it dries and it settles into a fruity sour sweet - it’s reminiscent of fizzy sour sweets. It lasts all day for me on my clothing and it’s my favourite perfume. I have an issue with Nina Ricci though, previously my favourite perfume was Belles De Ricci which was discontinued and now Bella is discontinued too. It’s such a shame, they were both unique perfumes. Fortunately, for now, there is plenty of Bella for a reasonable price, so I’ve bought several bottles which I hope will last until my next favourite.

At first I didn't think much of it, I just bought it for the nice bottle and because I do like the Nina line. The rhubarb seemed to be too sour, the rose too harsh, the vanilla too sweet. But then I gave it one more chance and it turned out to be a love, it became one of my favorite fragrances. At first is girly fresh, but then it turnes to be a well blended lady-like deliciousness on my skin. It is so yummy and pleasant I just want to sink into this cosy scent, it is like a warm, loving hug frome someone you long to. It is so nice from inside and outside, well done Nina Ricci, I just needed this one.

Smells just like fresh rhubarb spears dipped in sugar; my favorite summer snack as a kid! Like previous reviewers have stated, the composition doesn't really have a grounding element to it, which gives it a kind of whimsical feel. It's perfect for the hottest of summer days when you just want to smell something light and refreshing. A fellow fragrantica user recommended this to me as a substitute for the discontinued Lovely Garden by Oriflame. Although Bella by Nina Ricci is more green and tangy, I definitely see the resemblance! This perfume was a happy addition to my collection :)

Exquisita fragancia! Me encanta, tiene una frescura y acidez que fascina, que se endulza suavemente a los pocos minutos cuando aparecen las flores, lo que hace una combinación perfecta. El frasco es bellísimo y destaco la mariquita en las hojas, único. Me encantaría que durara más en mi piel, dura muy poco tiempo, no llega a las dos horas, su estela tampoco es notable, pero es tan rica que hasta eso le perdono. Me da alegría cada vez que me la aplico!!!

Everything about this little beauty is adorable: the look, the shape, the scent. I've got an 80ml bottle, but it looks so small and cute that I want a backup. I do not know how are the other "apples" from Nina Ricci, but this one is a very enjoyable one. If there was a rhubarb soda somewhere, this is what it would smell like. Juicy tart and sweet, like a mouthful of summer. I'am happy to have it and would definetely repurchase soon enough.

An apple shaped scent without the apple note ? I do get some apple.. rhubarb is crispy and strong. Bella is very fruity in the opening, but the dry down has powdery elements and some sour note. This is a bit like Nina Ricci's version of Hermes Un Jardin Sur Le Nile, a bit more playful and a lot cheaper. I enjoy the dry down, the opening is very crispy and sort of hits you, but it calms down to the Sur Le Nil-vibe. The bottle is cute.

A sort of generic, well blended mass appeal designer fragrance- but with the rhubarb? Way more special. Will say that it starts strong but fairly quickly becomes a faint skin scent, so you'd need to reapply throughout the day- maybe every 3 and a half hours? But it's an EDT so what can you expect. Like this much more than I should. Sweet, fizzy, fruity, beautiful. I also LOVEE the bottle so I'm definitely getting one.

Have not yet bought, but tested in boots the other day and YES - Its identical to Liberty Fizz from the 90s .... so happy they have 're-released this scent as I missed it so much and there was nothing similar out there (except for an obscure niche scent out of budget). Best release of the year , unique and different to all those samey frags.

This is a very "yummy" scent - I can smell rhubarb, apple and the citrus notes. It's also kind of sweet, although not in a cloying way, but rather in a very refreshing and summer-y one. :) I don't have too much to say about this fragrance... however, all the way, it's very nice. Perfect to wear during hot summer days. So juicy.

Gorgeous rhubarb fragrance - deep, green, slightly dark (like cool shade in the garden), innocent but intriguing and mysterious. And very, veeeery juicy It reminds me a lot of Lovely Garden by Oriflame but it doesn't have the milky note that LG had, which makes it more refreshing. Definitely on my want list from now on!😀

Just here to add to the people asking for a flanker of this with TOMATO LEAF which would make an excellent dupe of Liberty Fizz/Les Belles De Ricci.. Come on Nina Ricci head honchos!! Sort it out !!!! So many of us with money ready and waiting!!!!

This is a compliment getter, you will also get whiffs of grapefruit, perfect for hot weather (smells like candy in super hot weather) in fall you will get it to last a bit longer and more grapefruit vibe , YOU WILL LOVE IT TRY IT

I bought this for my daughter as a gift. She loves it and smells so charming, young and fresh. Also happen to be the most adorable bottle ever. She squealed when she opened it. Perfect scent for a young girl!

So incredibly fresh, a tart zingy freshness and fades into a delicate sweetness that fades into a musky vanilla with the rhubarb note staying throughout. Perfect summer fragrance for hot muggy weather.
