Character
The Story of Bellini
Bellini captures the bright, sun‑kissed aroma of ripe peach and apricot, blended with a subtle effervescence that recalls the iconic Italian cocktail. Its crisp, juicy profile lifts the heart of a fragrance, adding a fresh, celebratory lift without overpowering.
Heritage
The Bellini cocktail debuted in 1948 at Harry’s Bar in Venice, quickly becoming a symbol of Italian elegance. Its blend of peach purée and sparkling wine inspired perfumers seeking a fresh, celebratory fruit note. In the early 2000s, Swiss fragrance houses translated the cocktail’s character into a synthetic aroma, naming it Bellini to honor its origin. The note entered mainstream perfumery in 2005, appearing in several niche releases that celebrated modern fruit accords. Over the past two decades, Bellini has helped shape a generation of fragrances that balance natural fruit brightness with a refined, effervescent edge, reflecting the timeless appeal of its namesake drink.
