Bella Essence

Lovely scent in a beautiful bottle. "Bella Essence" is a mature, well-rounded fragrance with just the right amount of musk and ambroxan to lend a slightly salty, musky vibe. I love it completely. Ode to it not being tutti-fruity or with a double dose of those acrid, tart, fruit notes that tend to dominate some of the more well-known designer fragrances touted for women. I hate them. Maybe just a tad bit safe...however, I will never doubt the fragrance contains the essence of floral beauty. Gorgeous golden facade - I got the 50mL for $345TT here. The back of this bottle is translucent though, not opaque like "Bella Rosa" and "Bella Blanca". The box is a statement too, only this time it's gold. At the bottom of the box is a small note from the brand which says the fragrance is made from natural ingredients which may change colour over time, however, this does not affect fragrance quality. "Bella Essence" - a fragrance for women of all ages and stages. Romantic and 'hot'. As for longevity, I have not worn it yet but so far, its a hit in my fragrance notebook.

Bella Essence reminds me of a sleepover; laying on the floor of your friend's cozily furnished basement, doing each other's makeup and testing each other's Victoria's Secret body mists while eating skittles and drinking sparkling fruit punch. The air smells of lit vanilla candles and foreign detergent from the freshly laundered sheets that your friend let you borrow. Incredibly cozy! This is one of those fragrances you can spray in the air and walk into, and the scent will still last the whole day. The ambroxan does give me a slight headache when over-sprayed, but if I spray a normal amount it's totally fine (the scent in itself is so nice that I rarely care anyway hehe). I got a sample of it with an order from Notino, and this might be the first free sample that ever convinced me to buy a full bottle. It's such a fun fragrance, I'm so happy I discovered it!

I LOVE this fragrance; Very wearable but is unique enough to make you stand out. The scent is warm and comfortable, very sweet but not overbearing whatsoever. I wore this all day yesterday and the scent lasted for the majority of the day, so there is some good longevity on this one. It makes for a good day and night scent, so it can be versatile for any situation. I personally love this scent and is one my favorite of Oscar de la Renta's fragrances. Will probably get the most use out of it over the Summer time. Definitely give it a try!

This is very similar to Carolina Herrera "Very good girl"! Powerful blast of red currant in both of those scents, in the middle notes rose is opening up. They both very juicy and yummy like fruity-sour caramels that make watery mouth (also this scent in a direction of Escada "Show me love". Projection of Bella Essence is very satisfying- on my skin keeps some hours. For that price it is a wonder! One more Oscar de la Renta in my collection. P.S: became my favourite fragrance from all Oscar de la Renta's fragrances. LOVE

Wow, Clement Gavarry, (who has created Ariana Grande's Cloud) created a perfume that really respects the spirit of Oscar de la Renta. Bella Essence is ultra-feminine, elegant, heavenly. Very close to my old compliment getter, Fancy Love by Jessica Simpson, but I like this more, it's less sweet. I love the strong raspberry note in this. The scent is as beautiful as the bottle. This is my favorite of the 3 Bellas I have.
