Identity and History of Bella by Nina Ricci

Released in 2018, the fragrance Bella by Nina Ricci became a fresh breath in the world of perfumery, embodying youth and joyfulness.

This feminine perfume, part of the eponymous collection, reflects the brand's legendary Parisian elegance, synonymous with Nina Ricci, founded in 1932 and for over 75 years bringing the world a sense of lightness, joy, and romance.

Bella continues this tradition with a modern twist, adding a playful note to classic femininity, making it an ideal choice for those who value freshness and optimism in everyday life.

Development and Character of the Fragrance

Bella unfolds as a green-floral symphony, beginning with bright and fresh accents, smoothly transitioning to a delicate heart and ending with a warm base, creating an aura of youth and positivity.

The fragrance is perfect for warm seasons, especially spring and summer, when its freshness and joyfulness shine brightest, making it complementary and recognizable in any setting.

On the skin, it reveals itself gradually, from a playful start to a cozy finish, allowing you to enjoy each stage of its evolution and highlight your personal style.

Positioning and Application Practice

As a feminine fragrance in the form of eau de toilette, Bella has a medium sillage, making it versatile for daily wear—from the office to outings with friends.

For optimal effect, it is recommended to walk into the cloud when applying to the skin for even distribution, and use 1 to 2 sprays on clothing for a lasting but not overpowering presence.

This dosage highlights the playful character of the fragrance without overload, allowing it to fully develop throughout the day.

Creators and Impact on the Brand

The creation of Bella was handled by talented perfumers Louise Turner and Sonia Constant, who managed to convey the spirit of modern femininity through a composition balancing freshness and tenderness.

Their collaborative work strengthens Nina Ricci's reputation as a brand adept at combining classic with current trends, attracting young enthusiasts and expanding the house's audience.

Bella has become a significant release that reflects the brand's DNA—poetic elegance with a touch of lightness and joy, confirming its status as an icon of French perfumery.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance.

I waited a long time for this fragrance, but alas, I'm disappointed. The rhubarb turned out to be too sharp and sour, just mind-numbing. But the bottle is a real charm, though about the ladybug: it's only on larger versions, from 50 ml, and not on 30 ml 😅
5/5

A scent that evokes mixed feelings. On the one hand, it's quite simple, but there's a charm in that. It lifts the mood, energizes. The tang is pleasantly felt, and sweet citruses add interest. Gradually, it becomes warmer, as if embracing with soft vanilla. Longevity isn't impressive, the sillage stays close to the skin. Overall, I liked it, although at first glance it seems unremarkable. If someone wants to get a beautiful bottle with a bug on the petals, keep in mind that it's only available in 50 and 80 ml volumes, and there's no 30ml. A shame, of course

Yes, rhubarb is currently at the peak of popularity. The design is simply charming. I want to hold this cute little bottle in my hands. We're eagerly waiting for it to go on sale

I don't know what kind of miracle this rhubarb is, but everyone around says it's sour. For me, this scent is definitely tangy. It reminds me more of a green sour apple!!! And I also think there are notes of lemon pie here. The scent is interesting, but somehow too quiet
3/5

Liked it, but with reservations! The fragrance is indeed rhubarb, light, like a compote, but at the same time it's so unusual and "right" that it's breathtaking. The bottle is simply incredible. But the scent itself is tart, sour, with berry notes, and it doesn't resemble other fragrances in apple bottles at all. Honestly, I can't decide if I like it or not
5/5

Couldn't resist and bought it again! 😊 First I got a small bottle, and now I decided to get a bigger one to always have it handy. The scent not only didn't get boring, but on the contrary, I grew even more attached to it over time. It's just lovely
4/5

This scent reminds me of a sweet lollipop with hints of vanilla. Very pleasant, girly, and the bottle is just charming. But unfortunately, I bought a small volume, and there's no May beetle on the petals. I really wanted to see it 😕
5/5

The fragrance really grabs attention, it's unusual and unlike standard options. The combination of sweetness and a slight tartness with fruits creates freshness, and citrus notes add energy. There's something herbaceous about it, which makes it an interesting choice for those who want variety and aren't afraid of sweet accents 🌿
4/5

The scent is really pleasant, with a slight sourness and citrus notes, as well as delicate vanilla. Longevity is decent, but it stays close to the skin. The bottle is simply charming 😊

Rhubarb clearly dominates here, and its sharpness is immediately noticeable. If there wasn't so much chemistry, the scent could actually be interesting. The sourness also hits you, seems like it's a combination of rhubarb and citrus

Today I managed to enjoy a new fragrance that came out just a couple of months ago! The bottle is simply gorgeous, the color reminds me of pistachios or chrysolite. And the little bug on it is so funny, I wouldn't call it a fly, rather, it's some kind of fictional character. The scent! From my wrist, I immediately remembered my vacation in Corfu when I took 'Flower Party' by Yves Rocher with me. The notes here are completely different. In 'Flower Party', lychee dominates, but here I smell sweet rhubarb with strawberry, although there's no strawberry listed. This fragrance is perfect for relaxation and carefree fun 🌞
4/5

In this fragrance, vanilla and rhubarb are most prominent, while floral accents only slightly complement the overall picture. The result is a sweet and sour scent that, though pleasant, evokes a certain sadness. It's cute, but there's something heavy about it that makes you think
4/5

To truly appreciate this fragrance, you need time to get close to it. It only reveals itself when we experience something significant with it. It's in those moments that you start to understand its true value 🌸
4/5

The scent is really light and playful. Vanilla here mixes with a touch of sourness, creating an interesting combination. The bottle, by the way, is very pretty, that little bug is just charming. But it's a shame you can only buy it in large volumes, from 50 ml. I usually prefer smaller bottles
4/5

The scent isn't bad, sweet and sour, but with a light powdery note. It's really good in spring, doesn't overwhelm the nose, but the bottle - it's simply lovely. Too bad the little bug is only on the larger versions 😔
