Daring

7.1

Isabella Rossellini · 2004

Floral · Green · Fruity

Isabella Rossellini Daring is a floral, green perfume for women, softened by honey and apple; it has been discontinued. After a spicy, green coriander opening, the heart brings honey, apple, jasmine and peony, so the scent reads floral and fruity as well as sweet. The base of musk, myrrh and sandalwood settles into a woody, powdery and slightly earthy dry-down. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter not far behind, and it has been worn from daytime to evenings out. Its profile is close to Yves Saint Laurent Paris Eau de Printemps 2009 and Myrurgia Triangle.

Isa Bella

7.0

Isabella Rossellini · 2002

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Isabella Rossellini Isa Bella is a fresh, floral women's fragrance built on magnolia, iris, kumquat and vetiver; it has been discontinued. Its notes are not split into top, heart and base, so it reads as a single whole. Magnolia and iris set a floral, powdery ground, kumquat adds a fruity brightness, and vetiver anchors it with an earthy touch. The fresh and sweet accords lead, while the gourmand and oriental touches stay in the background. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have voted on them. Most voters pick it for daytime wear, with night out, business and evening use close behind. Chopard Wish Magical Nights and Jil Sander Style Soft have a close profile.
