About This Perfume
Think bright berry and grapefruit with soft powdery sweetness: that is Oscar de la Renta Bella Essence. It opens with raspberry, grapefruit and red currant, moves into vanilla, jasmine and rose and settles on ambroxan, musk and patchouli. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is easy to wear day or night. It suits casual days. Released in 2020.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fruity and sweet for casual days.
- Sample first if: fruity is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike sweet fragrances.
Around $114.
