Rating my favourite scent from Bella Hadid’s Orebella

If Divine Feminine was a perfume, it would be window2soul by Orebella. This smells like jasmine, dried mint, sliced lemons & damp rose petals macerated in spiced sugar. This is a true fresh-spicy floral. It’s not your typical floral perfume, it’s quite muted and less airy than I anticipated but still very pretty on the skin.

I’d definitely layer this with a citrus or green-note heavy perfume. I’d even layer it with an extra rose oil. I wouldn’t say that this is a safe blind buy but I would say that you’re more likely to love it than hate it.

I do a thing called the sweat test on every perfume I try. If it smells even better as I sweat with it on and as it melts into my body chemistry, I’ll buy the full bottle. And window2soul passed the sweat test with flying colours. I’m so impressed with the longevity of this fragrance, it lasted 9+ hours on me with no touch-ups. The projection is very inoffensive and gentle which I like for the type of scent that it is.

The overall experience with this perfume is such a vibe. Spritzing this perfume on and rubbing it in like a hydrating oil is so sensual on the skin. Before you “shake to activate”, the liquid has sparkles floating around in it which just makes this such an aesthetic delight. The packaging is like a gemstone that fits perfectly in your hands as if it were meant to be there. I can’t wait to see what’s next from Orebella. I will definitely be trying salted muse and blooming fire next.
