What do reviewers say about Bella and A Drop d'Issey?
A feminine fragrance from a house built on masculine codes. That tension is the point. Bella doesn't perform confidence, it simply has it. The gardenia-rose heart is lush without tipping into bridal.Bella
This one plays it safe. The almond milk and vanillin give it a comfort-food quality that reads innocent, while the star anise and ambroxan add just enough complexity to keep it interesting.A Drop d'Issey
