Bella Bouquet

FRAGRANCE NOTES from official site of Oscar de la Renta for Bella Bouguet: TOP: BERGAMOT, FREESIA, BAMBOO LEAF, CLEMENTINE HEART: MAGNOLIA, JASMINE SAMBAC, HONEYSUCKLE, LILY, PEACH BACK: CEDARWOOD, SANDALWOOD, AMBER, MUSK P.S: There is no green tea, neither rose, iris or tonka bean. But there is bergamot, freesia, honeysuckle, lily and amber. I trust more to their official site.

A beautiful clean scent! The most prominent dry down note is the jasmine but with a hint of black pepper. I personally feel like this perfume is more mature initially and then dries down to be a good scent for the mature woman and the young woman alike. A blind buy I was initially afraid to risk, but am now extremely glad about!

Beautiful floral tea fragrance. Love it.

Just got it and let large amount of spritzs on me :) Actually that’s not at all what i expected based on the notes...I’m surprised by how sweet it actually is! It’s hot outside +27 C and what it’s giving me is very sweet white flowers, very creamy ( slight coconutty even! ) with just a hint of mint in the opening which disappears quickly. Almost no greenness! In fact I’m intentionally trying to get green notes only because pyramid suggests there should be bamboo and green tea:) But it layers well with E Arden Green tea (i tested ) To sum up It’s a pleasant quite generic scent but it’s definitely not a summer freshie what i expected it to be! That’s my first day impression if it changes I’ll upd! PS Out of the whole Bella line i love Bella Blanca and Tropical the most - beautiful good quality scents and a good buy for the price definitely!

It’s currently winter here in New Zealand and I just picked up a bottle of this for $45 NZD which is roughly half the price it usually retails at, depending on where you purchase your perfume from. At first I got a rather sharp blast of something that smelt strong like alcohol and then after a minute or two I started smelling fresh flowers, it’s been on my wrist for less than ten minutes now but it’s changed again into a soft musky like scent. I don’t mind it but I’m not sure how long it will stay on my wrist for. Will be interesting to see how it performs in the summer or spring as this might be a bit too much for the winter but I will try it again in a few days.
