Belle

Belle works better when you over spray. I am a light sprayer as a rule; a couple of spritzes of most EDPs is my usual. But with Belle, such a faint application came across as too light and citrusy, leaving me with a lovely but ephemeral citrus and freesia scent at body spray level. Today I sprayed several spritzes on each arm. What an improvement! I got the full profile and then some. Freesia dominates this scent; however, with generous application, Belle offers an unexpected Coppertone sun lotion facet. Quelle surprise! I don't get even a smidge of peony. Lots of freesia and Coppertone. Maybe the metallic note others speak of is read by my nose as Coppertone. The notes say lemon, but it's more like citron to me. Greenish creamy lemon. There is SOMETHING way down inside this I love. Too bad I lack the finesse to identify it. I don't know why Belle is not getting more love. For spring and summer, this would be perfect, like flip flops or a white shirt. Maybe it's too simple and uncomplicated. Sometimes that's better. Tocca is one of my favorite ranges. Each is an individual stand alone scent, and each has its time and place. With today being Christmas, I had planned to wear Brigitte (spicy!), but it's 80 F outside, so Belle won out.

Belle by TOCCA is the perfect summer scent for when you're wearing shorts, a tank top, and sandals. It's pretty and fresh, but not like shampoo or soap. This sits really well on my skin, but also on my clothes. It just smells good! I have a decant that will take awhile to get used up - I think I'll put it aside for warm weather - but once I do I will add this fragrance to my wishlist. It's not a total love so it's not at the top of my wishlist, but it's defintiely one I would love to own and add to my warm weather rotation. Belle is a bright, bergamot and freesia scent with some green nuance due to the petitgrain. What a good note to add to this fragrance! I really do love this! I think TOCCA is pretty underrated. So far I really love Maya, Stella, and now Belle. For the longest time I had only ever tried Florence (which is meh as I'm not the biggest gardenia fan). I need to try all the other fragrances from this brand ASAP.

Belle by Tocca is just so beautiful like wearing a silk scarf that flutters in a gentle breeze. It has this soft, clean, and airy elegance that feels effortlessly graceful. The blend of petitgrain, bergamot, freesia, and musk creates a scent that’s fresh and feminine without ever feeling sharp or overwhelming ... It’s smooth, aromatic, and has this subtle prettiness that makes you feel put together in the most delicate way. And oh, the bottle an absolute work of art. It’s charming, vintage-inspired, and looks like something straight out of an old-world perfume boutique. Belle feels like a whisper of spring ~ lighthearted and lovely. – Bhavna Darira Chesan

Balanced and beautiful! Stella's younger sister (freesia is great in both). I love them both, but Stella is more sophisticated and timeless while Belle is more youthful and adventurous. Belle is quite captivating, and I feel desirable when wearing. Decent sillage and lasting power. Try this!

Easy, inoffensive floral-citrus of my dreams. On days that I'm overstimulated and don't want anything too sweet or woody, this is my new go to
