As sugary as Marshmallow
Belladonna by MOR Cosmetics, is a fun and frivolous floral with a touch of sweetness. I discovered this fragrance a few months ago, while out shopping for Mother's Day. I actually ended up buying it for my mother, and since then, she's worn it often.
When I say that this fragrance is sweet, I don't mean that it is nauseating, candy-like or cloying. My mother detests anything of that kind, and often makes negative remarks concerning sugary scents whenever she smells them on passers-by. It was important for me to find something balanced, pleasant and feminine, and Belladonna met those requirements.
The lemon in this fragrance smells more like pink grapefruit to my nose. While the citrusy accord is not strong or overpowering, it is a constant fixture in this composition. It's also where the sweetness tends to originate.
The floral heart is my favourite bit, with a delicate blend of sunny narcissus, powdery roses and rich tulip. You won't find tulip in many fragrances, so in a way, Belladonna smells rather unique.
Vanilla, especially in the heart and drydown, smoothes everything out, also providing a hint of warmth. While I would personally wear Belladonna during Spring and Summer, the vanilla accord makes it wearable during the cooler months too.
I'm only jumping on the MOR bandwagon now, although this fragrance was released some time ago. It comes in a 9ml rollerball with a range of matching products. The sillage is moderate, and the longevity, while not disappointing, could last a little longer. Overall, a pleasant and fun scent.
