Absolutely beautiful fragrance. Sweet fruits are warming up in the sunshine in the basket made of aromatic wood, I don’t know, sandalwood maybe. Unusual, at the same time very very classy, natural, comforting and happy perfume. One spray is more than enough. You will not smell it on every corner of every town as it’s in the case of horribly over-used and over-priced chemical Coco Mademoiselle. On Russian forum there are too many blind comparisons with Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, or Poison Midnight which doesn’t make any sense to me at all. “La Belle De Russie” stands firmly in its own stunning beauty. Besides, it was created in 1980, long before Coco Mademoiselle and Poison Midnight came out. Attractive minimalistic package and very little price for divine smell. So what’s not to like? I fell totally in love with Novaya Zarya classic fragrances, forever: “Or Des Scythes”, “Kuznetsky Most”, “Mystere” to name just a few are simply to die for, of course only if you appreciate classy, old school perfumes for mature people (I don’t mean age) with evolved taste. I don’t care for NZ modern fragrances though. Since I’ve discovered classic Novaya Zarya my Chanel and Rochas staples are heaving long break, maybe even retirement… OK, maybe not for Chanel 19 just yet 🙂

Wonderful fragrance. I’ve finally stopped mourning for Midnight Poison. I’ve now discovered a new love. And the price, wow! I haven’t experienced the negatives that others on this review board have written about. I don’t know if this is a niche product or not, and I don’t care. It smells great and I’ve had several compliments on wearing it. It is a close MP replacement, close enough anyway. I place a call out on one of the forums for an MP replacement and this was one that was recommended. They were right. Thank you all so much. I love it.

Hi there, for sure it reminds midnight poison and Chanel but please note those were created much much later. I am sure some talented Russian nose is behind of this gem. Russians are talented in general I would say. I am opening whole new world with this factory. And of coarse the history is fascinating as well. Please try, blind buy you won’t regret! I just wish I new about nova ya zarya before. Very pleased with quality and the price is unbeatable.

An unexpectedely beautiful gem for extremely cheap price! I suppose, Novaya Zarya did not aim to make La Belle de Russie a clone of Midnight Poison, but they have a lot in common. Patchouli here have a noble and soft sounding, they interplay with other ingredients rather exquisitely. I recommend it to those who miss Midnight Poison, as these two are really if not twins, but at least cousins! Lovely scent.

Fragrance is very mysterious and very beautiful. The price does not match the smells expensive. Really similar to Midnight Poison Dior. Although there is not to similar to Midnight, contra, all the same production date is set.

Russian Beauty is very similar to Midnight Poison. Excellent cheap replacement of a previous Productions Dior perfume. Berries rose framed patchouli, but without camphor.
Very, very beautiful and high-quality perfume, bravo!

I love perfume with apricot, one big love of mine. It is a good layering perfume. I love to wear it any time of the day.

I agree they aren’t Niche perfumers, but some of their scents are fabulous, while others are knock offs. This one worked okay on me. I got a Fruity floral with faintly powdered sandalwood in the base, mellowing down with a powdery vanilla. Overall, it’s rather nice, but doesn’t last at all and has no sillage whatsoever. The fruit has a bite and the florals smell fairly true without a lot of chemical taint. Very pretty, but again, formulated thin and with inexpensive materials as others have noted. It’s also dirt cheap, and you get what you pay for. I would never expect a $15 bottle of perfume to smell like Serge Lutens. If you find one that does, by all means, let me know.
