Bellano

i bought this in a sample pack looking for a spring daily wear. it came highly recommended to me by other jasmine lovers. i also love coffee and lavender scents, but i had never even heard of jasmine and coffee together before so i was very intrigued. i can’t get any orange blossom or lavender from my sample, sadly, but i get a ton of realistic jasmine and fresh, hot black coffee! if you are interested to know what that smells like, give this a try. even tho those are two of my favorite scents, i did not like them together. however my bff loved it (and identified those two scents right away when she tried it). so ymmv. one spray on each wrist last about 3-4 hours on me. i give this 4/5 stars for its realism, longevity, and because it is exactly what it says on the tin. just because i didn’t like it as much as i hoped, doesn’t mean it isn’t a great perfume!

This was an unexpected combination of notes. The smell of having coffee and chocolates in your herb garden is the best I can describe it.

"Bellano" distinguishes itself with its unexpected combination of notes. The initial impression is a bright, watery freshness, reminiscent of a cool Mediterranean breeze, but this quickly gives way to the comforting, rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee. This contrast is further softened by delicate floral undertones, creating a harmonious balance between invigorating and soothing elements. It's a fragrance that evolves on the skin, revealing different facets throughout the day, making it a truly engaging and memorable scent.

How does Zoey manage to create a scent where I can actually smell all the notes that are in perfect harmony, like this one?

I absolutely love “Laundry Day” but this one I think I’m going to love equally which is saying a lot. I mean the imagery alone is magical but then to actually capture this scene in a perfume is pure alchemy.

A perfect atmospheric to me is where you can’t necessarily pick out the notes one by one but instead your nose is just greeted with all the notes at once much like how I view beautiful painting (like an Édouard Manet) where I don’t need to focus on a certain color because I appreciate the painting as a whole.

This is how both “Laundry Day” and now “Bellano” is to me. I’m in the actual setting of “Bellano” and it’s a beautiful day and all the fragrant and fresh florals float through the air.. I can smell the slight sweetness of the chocolate while taking in the richness of the coffee..the scent of the fresh air and water reminds me that being outside in such a lovely setting is pure heaven.

I just received a FS of this and plan on already buying another FS because I know that this is a perfume that will be worn constantly and I don’t want to run out of it.

And like other Cirrus scents, the projection is nice and strong but not overwhelming and the longevity is one that lasts all day.

I gifted this to a friend that cries whenever she remembers a weekend on Lake Como during her study abroad.

She opened this bottle took a sniff and before I could even finish telling her this scent was inspired by Bellano she burst into tears lol. It's a beautiful scent and apparently does a great job of conveying the message it attempts to!
