Bellano
Bellano
Notes: Star jasmine , orange flower absolute, lavender, ambergris, clear lake water, ozone, chocolate, and a hint of coffee
A watery floral.
Walking along the shore of Lake Como towards the boat dock there is a cafe with a archway of star jasmine leading you towards the bar. A lavender salesman is across the road, reading a small novel and you wonder what it's about while you wait for the ferry to arrive.
This blend is vegan and contains an in-house aged coffee tincture in the alcohol based version. In the oil version, this has been replaced by coffee bean CO2 extract

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!
Opens with some freshly aromatic lavender and a very musky, sparkling lake water note softly sweet jasmine. There’s a coffee roast esque accord going on in the background , like you’re on a lake shore, flower bushes nearby, and someone roasting coffee beans in the far away distance. Odd, but it works. The coffee does subside in the full dry down as the orange blossom takes center stage with clean musks. A weird combination of notes that is just so lovely
I never expected to fall for Bellano, but I fell hard! This scent isn’t usually one I would’ve chosen on my own because the notes don’t often work for me, but I read some very compelling reviews of it and had to give it a try. I’m so glad I did! Bellano is fresh, sweet, floral and rich with the coffee note tying it all together. The aquatic note also adds something really lovely and interesting here rather than going soapy or cologne-y like I find a lot of aquatic notes do. Bellano is the expensive vacation I’ve been waiting my whole life to go on. It’s the cool aunt who travels the world and somehow never looks rumpled on the plane. Bellano is probably more sophisticated than I’ll ever be. But I love her!
Bellano, a blast of star Jasmine and orange that fades to a lovely sweet floral. I love it. Wearable but not boring and good for any season.
This was my favorite. It reminds me of a discontinued scent by Diptique called Florabellio. Very atmospheric and beautiful!
