Next Generation Bella Vida — a fruity-floral story
Next Generation Bella Vida is a women's eau de parfum released in 2016 by the Dutch brand Next Generation.
The brand creates women's and unisex fragrances in eau de parfum concentration, and Bella Vida continues this direction with an expressive, sweet and noticeable composition.
The fragrance belongs to the floral, fruity and gourmand families.
Bella Vida is built around the contrast between juicy fruits, airy white flowers and warm sweetness.
From the very beginning, the composition draws attention with a duo of black currant and pear: the berry-like tartness adds vibrancy, while the soft fruity accent makes the opening rounded and appealing.
The fragrance's development and character
At its heart, Bella Vida becomes more floral and feminine.
Iris lends the scent a light powdery quality, jasmine adds white-floral expressiveness, and orange blossom softens the transition from the fruity opening to the rich base.
The final part of the composition unfolds with greater density and warmth.
Patchouli brings a deep woody-earthy nuance, praline enhances the gourmand character, while tonka bean and vanilla create a soft, sweet and enveloping dry-down.
As a result, the fragrance is perceived not as a light fruity bouquet, but as a distinctive perfume accord with a rich trail.
Sillage and wearability
In terms of sillage intensity, Next Generation Bella Vida is a very powerful fragrance.
This should be taken into account when applying it: only a small amount is needed, especially indoors and in warm weather.
Exact dosage recommendations for skin and clothing are not provided, so it is best to find the optimal amount gradually, starting with a single spray.
Bella Vida's sweet floral profile is particularly suitable for the cooler seasons, when vanilla, praline, tonka bean and patchouli reveal their full volume.
The fragrance is suitable for an evening out, a special occasion or any situation where you want to emphasize a feminine and memorable image.
It can also be worn during the day if you choose a minimal amount and take its very strong sillage into account.
Similar fragrances and overall impression
With its combination of a fruity opening, white flowers and a sweet gourmand base, Bella Vida can be compared to Lancôme La Vie Est Belle.
This comparison will appeal to those who enjoy expressive feminine compositions with a noticeable presence of iris, sweet accords and a warm trail.
At the same time, Bella Vida comes across as an independent fragrance with its own balance of fruity, floral and gourmand nuances.
