Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Flower in the Air Eau de Toilette
A pretty, uncomplicated floral that many find fleeting, though some swear by its impressive longevity. It's a pleasant, inoffensive scent that won't ruffle any feathers, perfect for those days you just want to smell nice without overthinking it.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Bella Absolu Eau de Parfum
Baldessarini delivers a fragrance that dances between youthful innocence and melancholic maturity, making it a bit of a head-scratcher for some. It's a 'rose water' to one, a 'medicinal hay' to another; definitely not a safe blind-buy.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Given its nuanced, less bombastic nature, Bella Absolu is versatile for casual outings and could work in an office setting without being overbearing. Due to the slightly melancholic and '90s-esque undertones described by some, it doesn't quite hit the mark for a universally appealing date night or formal event scent, but still works for those who enjoy its subtlety.
