Our verdict on Bella: Favourite

Bella is divisive, with its sharp, tart rhubarb-led opening. Expect a playful, sweet-and-sour ride that evokes childhood sweets or a sophisticated rhubarb lemonade. Longevity is a common complaint, but the cute bottle is a universal hit.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, energetic, and often short-lived nature with a light sillage makes it ideal for casual daytime wear or sport. The tartness and playful sweetness might be too informal or potentially 'screechy' for a professional office or formal events, though a subtle skin scent could work for a date.

About

Bella opens with an undeniable burst of tart, zesty rhubarb, swiftly joined by bright lemon and mandarin for a green and juicy citrus punch. This energetic opening settles into a softer heart of delicate freesia and a hint of rose, before finding its comforting base in creamy vanilla and subtle white musk, balancing the initial zing with a gentle sweetness.
