BellaVita CEO Man is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. CEO Man opens with Citrus, Ginger, and Apple, settles into a heart of Geranium, Juniper, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. BellaVita's CEO Man carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A budget-friendly freshie that punches above its weight in scent, but expect a fleeting performance. It's divisive: some say it's a solid YSL Y dupe, others call it 'synthetic slop'. Don't expect it to stick around long, but it smells good while it lasts.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh and non-offensive profile makes it suitable for almost any casual situation or even the office, especially given its moderate projection. However, the lack of longevity means it won't hold up for longer formal events or intense sport sessions without reapplication.

Declarable allergens

About

Opens with a zesty, bright burst of citrus and crisp apple, given a subtle kick by ginger. This energetic introduction soon mellows into a herbaceous heart of geranium and sage, offering a clean, aromatic touch. The dry down settles into a warm, familiar embrace of amber, cedar, and vetiver, rounded out by a hint of tonka bean, creating a pleasant, slightly sweet woody base.
