Blooming Fire

When I first saw that this was supposed to be the “tropical” scent of the kind, I was hesitant. My scent profile has never leaned tropical or fruity, and I’m pretty sensitive to jasmine in general (ie I’ve never been able to get behind alien), so I was fully expecting this to be my least favorite in the line. Much to my surprise, it’s my favorite. Warm, intoxicating, sensual jasmine that is just the right amount of heady, this unique formula has the depth that so many jasmine perfumes lack. One of my favorite jasmine perfumes is flaming creature by Marissa Zappas, and I think this could be the warm little sister. Think popular homecoming queen sister v. moody Edgar Allen Poe-esque big sister (Flaming creature). It might just be the patchouli and cedar, but I can see the familial link. I think the monoi oil makes this different than other jasmine perfumes as well. I actually don’t think I’ve had a monoi oil perfume before. That might be because I do steer away from tropical scents, but I do think this brings a wearability about it. I don’t think this is exclusively a warm-season scent though. In fact, I can see it being really beautiful in colder months because of the depth of the fragrance. Also, not sure how people’s scent isn’t lasting...mine has lasted 12+ hours so I think it comes down to moisturizing before application + body chemistry. But that’s all perfumes so take that with what you will. Overall, I’m really impressed. I think we all presume these days that celebrities slap their name on perfumes and move on. However, this is a well-executed example of the care and time it takes to create a multi-dimensional fragrance. It just so happens that the person backing the fragrance is a celebrity. I think Bella did a wonderful job executing her vision with this scent, and I look forward to seeing how Orabella develops.

This one is probably my least favorite out of the bunch, but that’s really not saying much because I still love it and bought a 50ml of it along with the rest of the line. It’s only because I live in a pretty dry area and the performance on this doesn’t last long on my skin. It’s the most floral in my opinion, even next to window2soul. The monoi and jasmine take center stage throughout the entire fragrance. I do have a sample of Dior j’adore l’or and I would say they are similar, but I prefer blooming fire for the dry down, as it has more warm spices in it. I would wear this in high humidity places because I think this would just perform so beautifully in tropical climates. Honestly, I wasn’t able to choose between all 4 from the collection, I got one 100ml (window2soul) and the rest in the 50ml. But I was so tempted to buy all 4 in the 100ml bottles because I went through all 10ml samples very quickly and enjoyed each one of them thoroughly. I think I found my new signatures in this brand. Bella really nailed these out of the park. Just a side note: I’m not into celebrity brands in general and i didn’t pick these up just because Bella was behind these, I was genuinely interested in this concept and have been searching for a product like this for awhile. I’ve always wanted aromatherapy/spa smelling perfumes and I’m so satisfied that I kind of want to just clean out the rest of my fragrances and just be all about these.

I smelled it in store and knew I had to purchase it. It’s kind of oily, so beware to not spray this on your clothes. On your body and hair is totally fine, just rub it in, and you will see that it does moisturize a bit! Win - win. This perfume smells like walking through the busy streets of Mexico City on a cool, summer morning. It smells like wearing your favorite, red dress, while walking over to the juice stand to order your morning jugo. That’s the vibe I’m getting from this. It reminds me of being sexy and confident and SEEN. Something about it smells so feminine and exotic. It smells grown up, in a sexy way. Like you just turned 25 and wearing your favorite dress. I don’t know if that makes sense, but this perfume just provokes you to feel confident and sexy, and veryyyy feminine. I can smell the white florals from a mile away. If you want a warm, white floral, inoffensive fragrance, then this is your girl!!!! It smells sweet, warm, and sunny. Like running barefoot through the morning dew in a field of sunflowers in the middle of July. This perfume will make you want to give yourself a blowout and put on your best dress. It’s so beautiful, and I don’t usually like white florals. I actually tend to dislike them, but this perfume is art. I just wish it lasted a bit longer. You’ll need to reapply throughout the day, but the price point is so worth it, so I don’t really mind.

Blooming fire has depth and warmth and it's an absolute dream of a fragrance ! Incredible work, truly impressed ! Wow, this is literally warm and shifts the temperature of the woman who wears it, to a thousand degrees ( in a good way!) Liquid lava of love, power, sensuality, femininity. Blooming as the flowers Monoi and Jasmine are definetely predominant in the scent trail and in strength. Firey, because every woman wearing this is reminded of who she is, what she is capable of, and that she can bend reality with her presence! Beautiful, sensual, woody and sweet. A great feminine dream of a fragrance. People need to understand these are oil-based perfumes, must be shaken before use, and it's moisturizing oils will penetrate the skin so deeply, they become part of you. They are all free of the bad chemicals that disrupt your hormones and health, and they nourish your skin. For something "this clean" as a brand, it's astonishing how they smell better then regular, famous and super expensive " synthetic" traditional Perfumes. Don't even get me started on the bottles, reusable and to collect. They are heavy, like treasures. This one resembles the Citrine Crystal of Wonder Woman, capable of giving any woman supernatural strength, forged for all woman of humanity by the god of fire himself, Hepaestus son of Zeus. 10/10 LOVE will always re-purchase i am a lifelong customer now

This is so, so beautiful, and SO solar, and SO obviously the clear winner among these Orebella fragrances to me. It smells exactly like the color of the bottle, and I always appreciate that (as insignificant as that might be to some people, I enjoy looking at bottles). It smells nearly of marigold, or narcissus as it opens...is such an explosion of yellow florals, and VERY warm...without resorting to a lot of spice or warming gourmonds. I appreciate that very much (not that I dislike either of those genres, but this is an intriguing formulation). It smells like the end of summer/beginning of October. It doesn't stay quite as warm or bombastic as it's opening, which is to be expected, but it does remain very sensual throughout it's development. There isn't much cardamom here at all, and if there is, it's pairing so nicely with the florals that it's indistinguishable. The monoi and jasmine combo is lovely, but truly...it's a huge warm floral and nearly smells of Alien. Gorgeous, gorgeous on skin...and indeed does actually have a warmed skin facet to it. Extremely "golden hour" ✨️ 💛 🌅
