Ôrəbella Window2Soul
This year, Bella Hadid launched her fragrance line, Ôrəbella. This particular scent is a masterful blend of freshness, floral elegance, and warm sensuality. It opens with a vibrant burst of lemon, geranium, and mint, creating an invigorating green freshness that quickly gives way to the heart of delicate jasmine and rich Damask rose, forming a lush, faceted bouquet. The floral accord is beautifully balanced by a grounding base of addictive tonka bean, whose creamy, sweet depth adds warmth and sophistication. Together, these notes create a dynamic, evolving composition that is both bright and floral at the start, then softens into a warm, comforting finish—a perfect harmony of nature’s beauty and a touch of luxury. Purchase it now on the Ôrəbella website.
Celine Zouzou
Zouzou, the latest fragrance by Celine, is a tribute to the bold, slender allure of 1960s icons, evoking the effortlessly chic spirit of Parisian women who constantly reinvented themselves. Created under the vision of Hedi Slimane, this perfume combines a warm, addictive, balmy accord with caramel overtones, creating a rich, amber-infused composition. Notes of benzoin, tonka bean, patchouli, and labdanum weave together to form a deep, powdery trail that is a signature of Celine's Haute Parfumerie collection. With vanilline and musk enhancing its creamy, enveloping base, Zouzou blurs the lines between masculinity and femininity, reflecting Slimane’s stylistic codes of modern, faceted elegance. The fragrance is a perfect balance of warmth, depth, and a hint of sweetness, making it a timeless and versatile scent for anyone who embraces both strength and sensuality.
