Nina Ricci Bella is a fresh, fruity floral where green and citrus tones are softened by a sweet, gourmand edge. Discontinued now, this women's perfume leans towards spring and summer, and towards easygoing daytime wear.

What does Bella smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure and daily wear come first, with office use also mentioned. Many find it feminine and modern.

Freesia, rose and green mandarin orange carry the freshness and the floral lightness, while rhubarb adds a green, fruity note. Vanilla and white musk soften the sweetness, and the overall impression stays clean and synthetic. Prada Infusion de Rhubarbe and Hermès Eau de Rhubarbe Écarlate have a close profile.
