What does Bella smell like?

The top is pear and bergamot, fruity and bright. In the heart, leather and floral notes take over, with a slightly spicy, powdery edge. The base of vetiver, musk, vanilla and amber dries down sweet and creamy, with woody, oriental warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so treat these as a rough guide. It reads as a feminine perfume. Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle and Jean Patou Sira des Indes have a close profile.
