Bellano

10/10 Fragrance!

This feels like an old temple made of pure white marble has fallen into ruin. It was built along the shore and huge stones have fallen into the water, sticking out like icebergs. The water gently laps at the stone and the exposure to the elements slowly crumbles the marble. The dusty smell of marble and salty water drift in the air. What is left of the temple has been overgrown by jasmine, orange blossom, and lavender. The aromatic herbal of the lavender paired with the bright and slightly citrus florals chases away any feelings of dread or spookiness that one would associate with abandoned ruins. There is something still warm and welcoming about the space while feeling ethereal. Cirrus Parfums has really mastered the ability to make a stone scent. This is a powdery white marble scent that is complimented by salty ozonic and bright florals. There is also a bit of a creamy slightly sweet chocolate dry down, that rounds the whole thing out.

This fragrance is very lightly aromatic, the aromatic herbal and floral notes lift off the skin but mostly it sticks close. This also lasted about 6 hours on my skin.

Smells great I could see gourmand lovers enjoying this a lot. Leans a bit feminine for my personal preferences. I don’t get the lake water, to me it smells like a lavender latte with some nuance.

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.
