Bellano

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!

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.
