Description
Italian company ITF is launching a new perfume, Blumarine Bellissima Parfum Intense, which is a new version of their successful edition Blumarine Bellissima from 2009.
Designer Anna Molinari dedicated this fragrance to praise “natural beauty and intense femininity”, as she says. The new version of Bellissima was created by perfumer Sophie Labbé of IFF. Its main notes remained the same, but are intensified in the new edition. This floral-oriental starts its composition with fresh dew drops and fruit notes of orange, grapefruit and ginger. A heart blooms with floral petals of passion flower, peony and jasmine, resting on a sweet, woody base created of cashmere, sandalwood, vanilla orchid, musk and heliotrope.
Designer of the new flacon, as well as of the original one is Thierry De Baschmakoff. It is created of heavy glass with a crystal stopper and decorated with a gentle satin ribbon.
Advertising poster in pale pink nuances matches the theme of the edition. Photos of Italian model Bianca Balti were taken by photographer Michelangelo di Battista .
Blumarine Bellissima Parfum Intense hits the shelves in September 2010 as a 30ml, 50ml and 100ml edp spray.
The nose behind this fragrance is Sophie Labbe.

Sweet, powdery woods… so warm and almost yummy. Starts strong and almost powdery, with floral notes.. Dries down pretty quickly, whish surprised me, but the base sticks around for quite awhile (7+ hours on my skin), becoming almost a warm skin and cashmere woods scent with a hint of heliotrope. Sweet but not overly so.
I think Im in love…. Like a sexier, less sweet, *almost* night time version of Mon Guerlain…. almost. 😉

firstly, the bottle is nice heavy glass and the lid is solid glass as well. it would make a good burglar stopper if thrown accurately. but the label on the front is a piece of ribbon that is glued on making its presentation look cheap. this was an online blind buy.
i dont know what to think of the juice as yet, on me it disappears very quickly for an intense version but still testing.
update to come
update. a bad blind buy for me. i dont like it. it reminds me of sofia vergara but not with the same notes but strong and sickly. its sweet but overpowering. its one of those i cant scrub it off fast enough but of course it never comes off completely. my own opinion on my skin. i took a gamble. it failed. i lose. 🙁

Laundry Detergent laden with a bouquet of generic, plastic flowers. Stiff like an overly-starched shirt that won’t crumple or flow.

I bought it a week ago after smelling it on a paper strip and loving it.it’s very different on my skin.it was a very dry woody and powdery scent on paper but on my skin,it’s sweeter,very creamy and more flowery scent
I still find it pretty and likable.it’s not a very unique or standout fragrance but it’s very versatile,lovely,smooth.it’s inoffensive and office friendly but I don’t consume it boring.notes go through three different stages very smoothly.initial blast is more fresh with spicy citruses,some grapefruit and orange spiced with a hint of ginger,it’s refreshing and alluring.middle notes appear with soft florals,I can feel lots of flowers here(passion flower and heliotrope are dominant) and they’re all very well blended and not sharp at all.it soon dries down to a silky,creamy scent.florals wrapped in warm skin like musk,cashmere wood and sandalwood
I agree with a review below that says it’s rich and also isn’t heavy atall.for me,bellisimia intense is my lovely cashmere sweather that I can cuddle in it.it’s warm,comforting and also fresh and alluring.
I like this sparkly creamyness very much,so I’m very happy to own it.longevity is 6-7 hours on my skin with barely moderate sillage.It’s a 4season frag but I think mild weather is the best.I like it’s heavy,simple also elegant bottle very much.blumarine perfumes have really great bottles
❤❤❤
Overall rating:6.5/10
Edit:
It’s been two years that I have this perfume and I don’t wear it much but I sometimes crave it. Once,I decided to give it away but now I think good that I kept it.
It’s very creamy and I sometimes find it yummy,it reminds me a ketogenic,buttery home made bread I sometimes bake and eat it with almond butter and orange slices but all in all it’s not a gourmand or really sweet.Bellissima intense is a combination of creamy woods,powdery flowers and creamy citruses.
I think it best suits office wear and can make a good gift for a +30 lady
ترکیبی از چوب های نرم و خامه ای،گلهای پودری و مرکبات خامه ای.عطر کاملا گرم و نرم و چوبی هست،یجورایی کره ای هست،زیادی شیرین نیست با اینحال گاهی یه رایحه خوراکی طوری ازش میگیرم.شبیه نون یا کیک خونگی که روش کره و کره بادوم مالیده شده باشه
و برای محل کار و استفاده تو پاییز خیلی مناسبه
شیشه قشنگی داره و بعنوان هدیه برای یه خانوم سی سال به بالا خیلی مناسبه

Deja vu? yes, generic, common scent. I was hoping for more originality, really wanted to detect the ginger, but absolutely impossible. Just flower/vanilla boring scent….

Bellissima Parfum Intense by Blumarine is a cozy sweet floral blend of creamy cashmere wood and vibrant passion flower. A lovely skin quality musk with a bit of ginger and just a touch of tartness from the grapefruit. This is such a nice fragrance, but I can tell that the passion flower (or quite possibly the ginger) unfortunately does not blend well with my body chemistry. It would appear from the votes that this fragrance works for a lot of other people and is definitely enjoyed!
Malax – :
Great longevity, I can still smell it after a whole day, and just the right amount of sillage to be noticed without being overpowering.
The only problem is the scent, I know some people really like it but it’s not quite my style, I find it too creamy and… typical? maybe it works much better in the dry, gloomy, snowy weather but this is not what I want to wear throughout wintertime, too mature even for my age.
But I must say it’s very well blended, and I second with Melia, the scent changes in the first 5 mins but after that it stays exactly the same till the end.
Now I am going to swap it for a better one, nice package though.
netpingus – :
I really like this one it’s sweet, powdery, with a dash of florals and musk. It kind of smells like Turkish delights 😛 very yummy smelling
altikor – :
Bought this because of the good reviews here. It has a sweet and powdery smell, not too overpowering. But I feel the longevity and silage is not that strong, even when I spray a lot. Could be because of the all day hot weather here. But I feel this is more perfect for cool rainy day weather. Still, I love it!
guvilend – :
I agree with the reviewer who described it as rich without being heavy. That is so true!
It is creamy and smooth, quite a crowdpleaser and last pretty well. I like it!
Even though Bellissima Intense has some “body” to it, it still manages to be quite fresh in a way. I don`t get a heavy powdery note on me, like some others have experienced. Also the price of it is not too bad. A good blind buy for me 🙂
fred108 – :
A lovely perfume providing the wearer with something a little different from mainstream perfumes.
Like others have said its rich creamy and sensual.
It is “Super smooth…. powdery-woody” and a very comforting scent.
I will definitely be buying another bottle when this one is empty.
kvv14254 – :
Wasn’t sure if I wanted to hold onto this one or swap it so I gave it a spray tonight and I thought “wait a minute that smells a bit like…”
Then I got out my Hugo Boss Orange and sprayed it on the other hand.
Bellisima is a toned down Boss Orange with a touch more floral(?) – I think I’ll keep it:)
soikasoika – :
Bellissima Intense smells amazing!
I did not think much of it till I tried it yesterday.
It starts woody and floral with orchid drying down quite musky with a hint of ginger.
As simple as the composition is this smells really beautiful and extremly feminine
It gets a bit sweet and creamy from heliotrope and this Intense version lasts quite a bit too.
It’s a very elegant scent suitable for day wear inmy opinion.
Sillage and longevity are pretty good.

Oh wow what a great little blind buy. I told myself no more blind purchases but this was at such a great price. I am very pleased. This goes on very soft and gentle, so gentle in fact that you wonder if it will have any smell or lasting power. Well it sure does last! The fragrance is extremely feminine, powdery, floral.. there are several things going on here but they all blend so beautifully. I’ve got over 100 perfumes and none that smell similar to this one. Great score probably would appeal to the 25+ crowd.

Super smooth, creamy, powdery-woody and comforting scent. My boyfriend kept sniffing and sniffing like a dog! 😀
I like these powdery scents that give you a feel of soft and clean dryness. It is certainly beautiful and just special to me. The glass bottle with the heavy lid looks so precious. High quality, long lasting and so dreamy.
I love it.

I picked this up at Winners for a really good price, a blind buy. It is a really pretty fragrance, very elegant and smooth. I can’t really pick out any definite notes, but it has a very ladylike aura. I feel that is similar in style to Bulagari Femme, very feminine and somewhat formal.
Unfortunately the dry down is very powdery on me, straight up baby powder, which always leaves me feeling queasy. So it will be going back to Winners to wait for a new home.

My mother always returns from Italy with new perfumes for me (both addicts) and I have to say I had never tried bluemarine before. Bellissima Parfum is just that…..Beautiful, very soft feminine scent. I love it!…..wish it lasted a bit longer on my skin.
Dima Novikov – :
Beautiful, delicate floral, sweet, creamy and powdery, very feminine.

I loved this perfume. it definitely is my signature scent ! Very feminine and lovely. Kinda classy and elegant every time I wear it. The unsweetened caramel and citrus floral mixture makes it wearable at any time. How good it is if it comes with body cream and shower gel.
KARTES – :
Lovely! It is very similar to Chanel Allure EDP…

Questo profumo è buonissimo, mi ricorda molto Cashmere Mist di Donna Karan, che è il mio profumo preferito in assoluto, ma che purtroppo è poco resistente sulla mia pelle e dopo tre quattro ore non si sente più… invece questo Bellissima Intense è un pò fruttato all’inizio, ma quando si scalda sulla pelle, le note di fondo sono meravigliosamente cremose di cashmere, vaniglia e sandalo, nel complesso il profumo ha un buonissimo odore “di pulito” e di “baby”, ed è molto persistente! E’proprio un ottimo profumo, io lo ricomprerò sicuramente perchè mi piace davvero molto, è il mio tipo!

I have tried the original and loved it but wanted something a little more intense and it seems like this is just the ticket…except I cannot find it anywhere!! Does anyone know where I can find it in a store to try it? I always try before I buy because anything remotely powdery becomes extremely powdery on me.
cyclone68 – :
Wow! Saw this today at makeup addicts’ store. The gorgeous salmon drew me in! This is so pretty, feminine, soft and “skin”. It is not “clean” as in soapy, shampoo-y, body splash. It is clean as in not needing to wash. Smells so much like “colette” from ?annouk gattal?? (I know I massacred that one). The bellissima has HOURS AND HOURS of lasting power, but colette wore off quickly. No one could possibly be offended by this!
Mityny1 – :
I tried 3 other perfumes along with this one..they didn’t stand up to it! This one made the biggest impression of all! This is, at least on my skin, very very similar to Naomagic .. since this one was discontinued, this could be a solid replacement for all its lovers!
It’s so so pretty, powdery sweet, very delicious, makes you smell the spot you sprayed all the time .. cozy and warm. I could still smell it on my skin 6 hrs after the spraying!
EveveZefsance – :
Bellissima Parfum Intense is the perfect name for this fragrance. This and the original definately have a sisterly relationship. It’s as if looking at two women who have the same lineage and are 100% recognizable as being sisters and yet~they aren’t twins.
Parfum Intense is exactly that~deeper and more intense. It doesn’t have the prominant grapefruit accord that the original has but it’s still there along w/the ginger and orange to create an edge of citrus. Married w/the passionflower all of these notes add a unique tanginess to this composition.
From the beginning the base notes shout their presence. They take all of the citrus sharpness and mellow it into a brilliant version of a seasonless oriental. The orchid and peony work a beautiful floral creaminess into the mix.
This feels rich w/out being heavy.It sparkles and yet is very grounded. I can see this appropiate for just about anything. Sillage is about a 6/10 and longevity on me is about 6 hours.
This is different enough IMHO to have both this one and the original. I love this and honestly have never smelled anything quite like it. Linear? Yes. But in the best, most scrumptious possible way. A new favorite!

This perfume is simply wonderful! It has all the notes I could be looking for in a perfume and it smells how Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan should smell according to me. Bellissima Parfum Intense is like a cuddle, smells like a soft sweater on you, like a gentle caress. It opens up a bit, but only a bit, citrusy and spicy thanks to the orange, grapefuit and ginger. Passion flower and jasmin play a key role in the heart of the fragrance and give it a feminine touch but I would say that the main character here is the cashmere wood, extremely well used and very well balanced among the rest of the composition. The fragrance doesn’t change so much on skin, it remains subtle and gentle all along, it has like an aromatherapy effect and takes you to a dreamland whenever you wear it. Highly recommended.

I second DaisyQ that this one is creamier/smoothier than the original (which I own). Though also more monotone… From the beginning till the end it stays quite the same, while the original starts with a fresh and sunny morning and dries down in a more cosywoody feminine midday. I don’t know if ‘intense’ is a right add to the name, since I think this one has a more dreamy charactre. And I could swear there is some vannila in it! Citrusses and ginger are barely noticable.
lol477JeomiWogkig – :
I find this perfume absolutely intoxicating. Smoother and creamier than the original Bellissima, this dries down into a sensual and creamy floral/fruity woody vanilla musk on my skin. I would wear the Intense version in cooler weather and the original version, which is more sparkly and light, in warmer weather. While this is not a heavy scent by any means, it lasts for days when sprayed on clothes.
This perfume is an exclusive to Holt Renfrew department stores in Canada at the time of this review.
