Eternal Roots

Gay male here! I really love this perfume. I have the Salted Muse which is probably Orebella's closest gender neutral scent until this one. This one is a bit more mature than Salted Muse. Salted Muse I would consider more of a spring/summer scene, this is definitely in the late summer/fall category. The first thing I think of is Juliane Moore in Tom Ford's Single Man when I smell Eternal Roots. It lays on fruity but not sugary sweet and then levels out in the first few minutes to a musk/salt/woodsy/fruity scent. It is very nice. You can definitely wear this during the day or at night but to me really shines as an evening perfume. It has an interesting slightly sticky feel on the skin, more so than the Salted Muse. The Sillage is very present. It is a unique smell and will be noticed very likely enjoyed by others around you. It isn't strong or offensive. The description above calls this a Chypre fruity fragrance which is defined as woody, earth, and animalistic. I can definitely see how this is "animalistic" as the scent almost smells as if it is your natural scent, musky but it a really nice of the body kind of way. If you are a woman, you could layer this with a feminine perfume, if you are a man, you could definitely get away with adding more smoke as a second layer to this. It is a really nice base layer. Think Tom Ford but dialed back a lot (Tom Ford is aggressive with his perfume line in a really bold way). Eternal Roots gives you the Tom Ford scents but keeps it within your friend circle and not projected out to the entire room (time and place for that). This is more wearable in more settings.

Another review of this cause I’m so obsessed it might become my new signature scent. I know the opinions on the sillage & longevity are mixed but on my skin its an actual monster! Stays on my skin ALL day, I can smell it very well on my hands after washing them multiple times and sillage is amazing too! I just think it’s amazing how perfumes smell and act differently depending on who’s using it... It’s a gorgeous blend of sparkling fruit with deep, dark and more masculine smoke, leather, woody & green notes. I don’t think I smelled something similar to this, it’s pretty unique imo. It’s sexy, dark feminine, confident type of scent, definitely unisex! I can see why some people don’t like it, it can for sure come off very manly, there’s no doubt about that (that’s why it’s definitely not a safe blind buy and definitely not a scent for everyone, in my case it comes off very masculine when I spray it on clothes, it’s way more fruity on skin) but it’s such an interesting one! & there’s something so beautiful about the dry down that makes me fall in love with this even more... makes me feel like I’m an earth type of fairy living in a dark gloomy forest... it’s so dreamy. 🪽

for starters i walked into ulta looking for a fragrance for my bday and stumbled upon this one, i didnt look up the notes before hand but i loved it so much i was smelling it the whole time and everything else was just eh. i always wanted to try out orebella as i really am with what bella stands for, but wasnt sold on the fact i cant spray it on my clothes. then i looked up the notes and decided it was worth the money to get the travel size, lychee is my favorite and so is patchouli and both of those together im really enjoying. its very juicy and smoky, and dries down very sweet on my skin, not really overtly masculine at all imo. although it would smell great on a guy too. it reminds me of a way more deepened and matured version of one of my favorites when i was 16, now in my early 20s i think i found my signature scent for the year. i think there’s something for everyone in this line

Big love! The smoke is listed as a base note but it’s strong only on the inital spray and significantly fades when it comes to the dry down. It reminds me somewhat of the old Burberry Her Intense (brown bottle) but more woody, slightly smokey. Or even my Angel Nova EDT probably because of the shared litchi note. They are not the same, not at all, but they do come in mind when i smell Eternal Roots. Because the opening is smokey, it can come off masculine, but on me it turns pretty fast fruidy-woody, even sweet. It becomes so addicting, i want to keep reapplying. Not in love with the Orabella prices tho... 112 euros for 100ml is near niche level. Obvious perfumes go for 130 euros here and Commodity 150 euros. I was taken aback at first.

It’s like when gojo combines purple and blue but it’s red and blue and the red is the feminine sweetness but the blue is the typical masculine/unisex notes and it turns into a feminine leaning unisex fragrance. I love this so much this is the kind of fragrance you and your boo can wear together and it won’t smell questionable, it’s versatile and delicious. It’s reminiscent of a nostalgic smell from my past that I can’t remember!!😍 It then transcends into this warm spicy incense sugar with a bit of raspberry!! This is now my favourite fragrance and I envision Bella frolicking through life with this on. This is so her!
