Bella Bellissima Emerald Oud delivers a crisp, bright take on resinous woods. It matches candied bergamot peel with pink pepper in a sunny opening that shifts into rose oil and saffron. A base of amber and French vanilla absolute grounds the composition, making it a comfortable wear for crisp autumn afternoons.
