Isa Bella (2002)
by Isabella Rossellini

Here is a blurb on it that I found:

". It was designed by Richard Herpin and Nathalie Lorson, who enriched the top notes with freshness of citruses and mandarin. The heart notes are composed of white magnolia, heliotrope, Tonka bean and a sensual note of tobacco. The elegant base includes violet root (iris root), moss and vetiver. The bottle and the box are coloured with red, passionate nuances..."

What's interesting is that the drydown of this fragrance is similar to the first couple of hours of Dior Homme. The tobacco note is clearly present but the sweet and creamy element is really strong. I might try diluting it to see if I can make it less overwhelming. As you might expect, longevity and projection/"sillage" are excellent. It's reasonably natural smelling and well composed. However, because it's got such a strong sweet and creamy quality, there is al problem with dynamism, but that just might be my skin chemistry. I'm looking forward to "experimenting" with this one because I think it's got "potential."
