About This Perfume
Think fresh rose and iris powder, softly creamy amber: that is Oscar de la Renta Bella Rosa. It opens with freesia, mandarin orange and pink pepper, moves into pink rose, iris and jasmine and settles on amber, patchouli and sandalwood. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. It suits date nights. Released in 2019.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something floral and powdery for date nights.
- Sample first if: floral is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike sweet fragrances.
Around $114.
