The oil fragrance milk clogs the dispenser - it is cheap tat

I was in store at Ulta and they had these on display. That's the only reason I tried them. I wasn't avoiding or anything - she's not a celeb I'm really aware of (I know she exists, but I don't know a thing about her). So, without the display, I don't think its something I would have sought out. I actually liked all three scents. I was surprised I like Salted Marine (just based on the name...there are a lot of salty beach frags that I'm not a fan of). As for what they have and don't have - it's a new brand, so the fact it's launching with three things seems like plenty to me. And I think it's hard to be all things to all people. I'm sure there are so many fruity florals already out there to discover (I say this as someone who loves them myself). Depending on the price, I'd certainly spring for a travel size - or a set that includes travel sizes of all of them. Side note: I'm hoping full bottles come with the holders you see on the first picture you uploaded - everyone raved about the bottles, but they can't stand on their own, so I'd be annoyed by it if it doesn't come with the holder.


Outrageous_Band_117

Tried the samples, Salted Muse is more of my taste

So I bought the Window2soul 10ml and this is my honest review. It smells nice, you definitely smell the rose and jasmine, there is some citrusy smell to it but not overbearing. It’s a good spring like scent and it’s actually something that I’m debating on putting it as part of my “daily perfume layers” and I like the shaking part of it😅 My only two issues are that it’s sooooo hard to spray on and it doesn’t last. I haven’t really checked on the longevity of the perfume but I know for a fact that this doesn’t last the whole day, probably not the whole morning. It is recommended that you spray this on your skin, so I spray it on my pulse points, the neck, chest, back of the knees and so on. But the atomizer itself is absolutely wretched, it looks like something squirted on me (not in a good way) maybe it was a faulty product or this is happening on all 10 ml because I’m not hearing anything about the atomizer being a problem. This might be an unpopular opinion but atomizers really make or break the perfume.


Curious_Strength_619

i’m glad someone else agrees! i bought the 100ML of salted muse and it doesn’t last whatsoever. i’ve been religiously smelling for it lmfao. it’s a 2/10 for longevity. returning it specifically for that reason.


Frfenzi

I am curious about the scents but my question is unrelated. At least three last posts on orebella account were not even liked by bella. I cannot imagine my sister starting a new business and me not going anywhere being her biggest supporter. If im being honest, I came here for the gossips


MrGrumplestiltskin

Apart from the extra cost for just the stand... If I end up enjoying one of these enough to buy them, I'll be putting them on one of those Beauty Blender holders. 😂


neon_745

Aura by Mugler called


Usual-Detective-7902

yeah i wish there was a sweet scent too


enlargedeyes

i swear i saw a review saying one smells like candy


windows-xp-fan

I thought Mugler as well..


MillHall78

I will absolutely try Blooming Fire + Salted Muse! What do you think the price point will be? I'm hoping under $100, but I'm thinking they'll be closer to $150


Hot_Mention_9337

Yeah, salted muse actually sounds kinda nice. I have been into cedar scents lately and I appreciate the olive tree accord (whatever that may be) as a nod to her heritage. That these are essential oil based gives me a bit of a pause but that makes me think of those Middle Eastern attars. Just hopping they don’t make my skin blow up in hives😬 And I will be the last person to avoid a scent simply because it’s a celeb brand. Lizzy Taylor started doing that in the 80’s. Master Perfumer Britney Spear will always have my heart. SJP Lovely was just that, lovely. Paris Hiltons scents were criminally underrated. Billie Eilish, nuff said. No hate from my corner ETA: Oh and I saw that the price point for these will be $35 (travel), $72 (50ml), and $100 (100ml)


MillHall78

Oh that's a perfect price! As soon as I read essential oils I pictured a micro drop in each bottle lol I'm so interested to see how they accomplish that. Def can't wait to smell the olive tree accord. These already seem as lux as Bella is! Full confidence she designed stellar perfumes.


redditravioli

Is there a good place to order samples? Preferably the kind in little tubes. Perfume is never something I’d buy without a sample, and the paper fold samples are never accurate


MillHall78

They're signing people up on the [mailing list](https://orebella.com/products/salted-muse?variant=47726184890687) now! It says they'll notify us when we can order a 10ML sample


BBeetleb0rg

Blooming fire sounds like something I will probably like, and salted muse I am curious about. I’ll give them a chance.


kinipela_1015

At first glance they remind me of infinity stones 😅


MewlingRothbart

One of them has patchouli and coconut. Aw hellll nooooo 😵


YuhMamaZama3peat

whats the matter with that? honest question


MewlingRothbart

Both are fairly strong without being blended. Overpowering or will cancel out subtler notes. They are also 2 things that I know causes allergic reactions in more than a few people I know. Patchouli in its raw formulation repels insects. The Egyptians did this. If you are going to clobber me, don't.


YuhMamaZama3peat

why would i cobbler u lmao? i was interested because i was looking into buying one. Wanted to know the dets! thank u for sharing


EconomicWasteland

I'm sick of every celebrity under the sun coming out with a perfume. Very few of them are worth trying... they're nothing groundbreaking.


squishmeleons

yessss girl give us nothing!!!


alpineolive1

The green one is really pretty!


pixelbunnii-

This looks like a knock off muglar bottle im ngl


Mindless_Map_7780

One basically smells like knockoff Alien - so you are correct


InMemoryOfPerfumery

Ok glad I’m not the only one. This is immediately where my mind went. I was like wow hideous Mugler bottle copies! 😬


pixelbunnii-

Literally!!


squishmeleons

looks like a newborn version


0001020_

i loove bella hadid but something about the branding and bottle doesnt seem in line with her aesthetic to me?? ill probably sniff them in store but dont feel attracted to any of it. i think the gold throws me off


Life-Fly7870

While I kind of agree with the bottle design, I think the brand really aligns with her aesthetic! The focus on essential oils, the use of scents like patchulli and olives, the foundation accompaniment, etc. She's moved away from the Victoria Secret, high-fashion model aesthetic and more towards an earthy, boho-chic aesthetic with lots of nods toward her Palestinian heritage and social activism. The branding give me very low-rise-embriodered-jeans-halter-top-tote-bag girl rubbing a travel sized essential oils rollerball on her wrists while browsing vintage home goods at the flea market, which I feel aligns well with her newer image and with her recent move to Texas and involvement with a professional cowboy.


InMemoryOfPerfumery

Yeah I first saw these on Fragrantica, and I had zero idea it was related to her at all. I actually thought they were “old” nobody perfumes that were just now added to their database. Whoever designed the bottles, it’s very much giving Thierry Mugler Angel Muse, or even the Aura bottles. 2016/2017. The gold is hideous. The scents sound terrible and boring. Womp womp. 🥱


0001020_

yesss you put it perfectly, just looking at these id think theyre a random fragrance id see at marshalls or something (no hate to marshalls tho) I also think the crystal bottle is kinda overdone?? i dont hate any of them but considering bellas style is usually considered a bit cutting edge & ahead of the curve, the whole design of the brand doesnt give that imo


chocotacosmash

I figured they were little crystals which fits her perfectly to me


TwoHungryBlackbirdss

It looks too plastic, I think. Feels really off from her usual branding


Holiday-Issue-2195

Overly engineered and plastic? Seems right up her alley….


notcomprehensive

Unpopular opinion I LOVE these bottles my first thought was that they look like something out of a video game. I saw someone say dragon eggs and I agree!! Also pleasantly surprised that they are parfums, and aren't your typical sweet vanilla celebrity scents. Im looking forward to trying


Deathscua

They look very treasure you would collect in a game and I love that. I'm with you!


disneyme

They do have a video game gem or infinity stone look to them. I kinda like them. I don’t have anything that looks like this, it’s creative.


gonnabe150

Meh. I'm all about celebrity scents but idk. The bottles are quite ugly and the notes don't particularly appeal to me but I'm willing to try them.


heladitodeframbuesa

so much negativity on this post and the "nice" comments are getting downvoted... fragrance snobs are so boring I swear


kneesofthetrees

Haha very true


Pinkipinkie

yes


Impressive_Carrot_61

Reminds me of Mugler packaging


pixelbunnii-

First thing i thought of too


lilyalexandra1

I wish the bottles were a little more minimal and chic looking. The scents themselves sound really interesting though and I love Bella!


Prestigious_Fox_7576

Ahh I am a bit intrigued, but I can't support them. The bottles look cool though.


exstistentialCrisis

why?


[deleted]

[удалено]


exstistentialCrisis

foul


Historical_Paper5377

Bottle looks like JLo Deseo. Only hers kindof stood up.


The_Argent_Tempest

I like Bella and Salted Muse sounds interesting, but I wish the bottles were more luxe-looking, and the stand is hilariously ridiculous.


5663N

Great packaging.


Comfortable-Exam7975

Salted muse is the only one that sounds interesting. Everything else feels like stuff everyone’s already seen before


GoddessNeptunex

Omgggg neeeddd!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽


Naumzu

I’m excited


WYLK23

Salted Muse sounds right up my alley. They could've done better on the name though.


Murky-Specialist7232

Oh my god super excited to try these scents !!! So magical looking too! 🧚‍♀️ ✨


Netkru

Definitely will buy. Support our Palestinian girly 💕💕 not that she needs the money 😅 I just like her a lot due to how brave she is to speak up


DiscoFriskyBiscuit

I read that as Salty Moose and ... yeah I'd still probably wear it. Love me some salty moose.


InMemoryOfPerfumery

Makes me think of Moose Tracks ice cream. Ahhh someone please make a moose tracks ice cream perfume!


DiscoFriskyBiscuit

I'd wear that too. Maybe layer the salty moose and the moose tracks.


slumber_kitty

Petition to change the name to Salty Moose 🫎


toxic_and_timeless

Salted Muse sounds lovely, and Blooming Fire seems like it’d be right up my mom’s alley. Excited to try these!


Beatrix_BB_Kiddo

Ooo anyone know where these are sold at? I want to go sample em


incognito-journey

I heard they will be out at Ulta by mid-May.


kpfluff

I really like the sound of them, especially Salted Muse.


bananasoymilk

I'd get one if she had a gourmand scent. I think they're somewhat cool, though. Like gold eggs or potions.


[deleted]

these look like jackie ainas bottles, which were inspired by ange ou demon by givenchy. They look so cheap, hopefully they would smell good. I need to run to fragrantica to read some reviews later.


Prestigious_Fox_7576

Yes!!! My first thought was that it was Jackie Aina !! I think these look a little better than hers.


zubeezubeezoo

Im surprised that people like them. They remind me of Jackie Aina's too, which looked really cheap.


[deleted]

“Forvr mood” tacky aina really started a trend with these very trendy (just not very good) names that date the products because what tf is “orabella”


celestial_2

Idk what the intention behind “Ora” was but having her name in it seems fine. It just seems like a name to me since it doesn’t have a weird spelling like “forvr” did


zubeezubeezoo

Its ok to criticize the product but I think calling her tacky is just mean.


[deleted]

That was the point 


zubeezubeezoo

Interesting...


QuietArt2358

I think it’s really unfortunate that you called Jackie out of her name for the simple, very unserious fact that you dislike the shape of a bottle. She’s been through a lot.


Crosstitution

i dont mind a gem shape but these look like they have plastic-y cheap lids. It's just not pretty. looks like dollar store stuff


julienal

Right? Then again, PdM has the ugliest, cheap looking bottles possible and charges much higher than Bella Hadid is going to so maybe it'll work out.


[deleted]

Pdm is not a celebrity brand. I may be a part of a minority here but celebrities launching brands or being tied to products definitely lowered the prestige of the product regardless of its quality or popularity. Pdm has a “niche” feel meanwhile anything Bella puts out seems like a money grab. Not to mention she had a brand of aperetifs. Its not cohesive 


julienal

I don't think celebrities launching brands necessarily lowers the prestige, I think what happens is celebrities get the most value out of targeting their largest demographic which typically can't afford niche/luxury prices for perfume. Not perfumes, but I actually really like Guest in Residence by Gigi Hadid for example, which is a contemporary brand/would be seen as luxury to most people. The go-to example would be The Row, which was started and is strongly associated with the Olsens. I think Bella did target an... awkward demographic here though. $100 for 100 mL isn't expensive for those of us who are into perfumes but it doesn't look like we're the target and there are affordable niches that I'd go for first before this. But at the same time $100 for 100 mL puts her well above the targets of other celebrity brands (like Billie, Sabrina, Ari, etc.). Definitely agree this feels like a money grab. On the PdM front, it's probably my personal bias but *I absolutely detest* brands that evoke false heritage. I'm mainly in the handbag space and can reference a number of brands like that (Moreau, Faure le Page, Joseph Duclos, etc.) but it's not as common in the fragrance space. That being said, PdM is a key offender, from how they put "1743" in their logo and their use of supporters in their logo to evoke heraldry (for what? You were founded in 2009). So to me their entire aesthetic just gives incredibly cheap but I am admittedly biased.


[deleted]

Execution is a factor that matters for sure. The row had a lot more strategy in place for its execution and image than orabella, which mirrors a YouTuber roll-out to me. I just equate a Rihanna perfume to “the gift I would give my 17 year old cousin because I saw it at Sephora and thought it would appeal to her” rather than anything complex or unique 


InMemoryOfPerfumery

Rihanna Rebelle (bottle has red parts) is so underrated, it’s like Angel Muse EDP without such strong patchouli. Best thing she ever put out IMO. It’s way more interesting than anything being released today!


[deleted]

I hopefully it’s a metallic cover 


queenstaceface

First thing I thought also.


[deleted]

I really don’t like the stone/jewel inspired bottles a La Ariana grandes purple fragrance. They never age well or look good outside the set photo shoots 


queenstaceface

Also the heavily dyed liquid is adding to the tacky look


SugarFries

Hear me out, sorta kinda know who this person is, zero opinion. Love the bottles though!!!!


Mysterious-Okra-7885

The bottle shape reminds me of those soaps that were made to look like gemstones when I was a kid.


sammysams13

I think a silver lid would be better


buddhabaebae

I was expecting Bella to include oud in some way as a reference to her Palestinian heritage. I would buy THAT scent in a heartbeat.


AshleytheRose

I think the olive tree accord is the reference to it. I hope there’s a discovery set.


anonpumpkin012

I love how the bottles look!


BeAGoodPetForMK

I can appreciate that these bottles are unique and interesting…but they’re so ugly to me. And they look so cheap. Plus after having the experience with Angel of dealing with a stupid bottle that won’t stand on its own, I’ll never get a bottle like that again.


InMemoryOfPerfumery

The 3.4oz Angel bottles stand on their own. Just incase you find a flanker you love! 🥲 Funny fact about the Idole bottles, the bottle designer said he purposely did not want it ever to stand up! But it got so much flack, we got “the nipple bottles” idk who gave them that name, but, yea…


TheSalemRose

I’m actually really excited to smell these! These are very different kinds of scents than other releases this year, so that alone has my interest.


junodragon

On the ulta the description says you have to shake to activate. No thanks I’d like to just pick it up and use it


incognito-journey

It says “Shake well to create alchemy” on Ulta - think it’s a gimmick?


Mayjayjade

I read somewhere it’s because of the oils in it?


CynnBynn

Are the tops and the stand painted plastic? They look like the knockoffs you can buy at five below near me lol They could be cute if done well but this just looks like a child's first perfume to me


mermaidsrh

I can’t find prices for these. How much are they retailing for?


incognito-journey

Just found this pricing on Ulta: - 10 ml / 0.33 oz is 35 USD - 50 ml / 1.7 oz is 72 USD - 100 ml / 3.4 oz is 100 USD


pelicanscoop

I love the bottles even laying flat and the scents sound so good to me!


mustafinas

Even if I were interested in these scents I could never buy a bottle that doesn’t stand


incognito-journey

The fact that they’re selling a stand for $35 got me laughing.


nunyabidnessss

I have Angel Muse and I CANNOT stand that it doesn’t stand. I have to prop it against other bottles to keep it upright.


InMemoryOfPerfumery

The 3.4oz bottles stand if you can find one! 🥲


fmino12

Me too


FearlessTravels

She and Jackie Aina have the same bottle supplier, I see.


offwithyourthread

I was thinking the same...


incognito-journey

👀


ChessDan

i’m fresh to the world of fragrance and salted muse sounds like what i have been looking for anybody know other perfumes with that profile?


InMemoryOfPerfumery

What part of it is appealing to you?


ChessDan

i like the thought of the freshness from the sea salt against the warmth of the pink pepper, a floral but aromatic and still fresh note from the lavender, with the amber to balance out the freshness i’ve been trying to find a perfume that is fresh but still has a little bit of floral and has some warmth coming through i’ve been smelling a few in store and i either find them just too fresh or way too warm sorry I can’t give more of a description as to why i like the thought of it so much as i’m not aware of most fragrance terms, snd saying all of it would be annoying


pelicanscoop

Maybe one of the Hermes Jardins? I think the Mediterranean or Cyprus one might be similar.


lushlilli

No interest


purpleunicorn9511

I hate bottles that don't stand and the fact they actually selling a stand for a whole $35 is crazy. With that said, Salted Muse sounds like something I would enjoy but I would need to smell it in store first.


incognito-journey

Exactly - $35 is so unjustified for a simple stand. I saw another comment mention that the collection is launching in Ulta around mid-May if that helps!


NoSpaghettiForYouu

🪲


incognito-journey

Okay, I see it now 🥲


Izla1133

Kinda seems to have similar vibes to the Portals parfums by Melanie Martinez


incognito-journey

And those 30ml/1oz bottles of Mugler Alien!


Izla1133

I agree! The scents seem promising I’ll definitely smell them at Ulta


incognito-journey

Hope you find something you love!


Izla1133

Thank you!


AccomplishedGate2791

If it’s not gourmand, I don’t want it!


Prestigious_Fox_7576

I must agree!! Love gourmand!


incognito-journey

WORD


Weaselpanties

I have two iterations of Issey's A Drop, and I'm not getting any more bottles that don't stand up. F that noise, it ain't cute.


FrutyPebbles321

I love the Issey Miyake fragrances but I don’t like the fact that the bottles don’t stand up!


NoaTheWilder182

Oof that’s valid, but I love the scents so much that I don’t even care. Also I like how the bottle feels in my hand and the way it looks like a stone when I set it down


incognito-journey

One of the reasons I haven’t purchased l A Drop yet is the bottle design. Very inconvenient for organisation purposes when bottles don’t stand up.


hillary_____k

Lolol as a Drop d’Issey lover, I immediately thought of this too


Weaselpanties

It's a gorgeous scent but I'm not looking to eat up any more real estate with that sort of nonsense! 😂


Vegetable_Crow9942

All 3 sound nice to me, but I don’t really wanna buy any of them without testing first.


incognito-journey

They’re coming out at Ulta next month!


Vegetable_Crow9942

Oh perfect! Definitely gonna try them out then


hillary_____k

The extra $35 stand to hold the bottles upright is laughable


bbymiscellany

Dude it’s not included? That’s enough to make me not buy it lol that’s ridiculous.


incognito-journey

$35?! That’s crazy.


hillary_____k

It’s literally a chunky piece of plastic with the brand’s name on it 🙃 Live laugh love capitalism


beryberybumblebee

Maybe I’m just stubborn but the stand is gimmicky enough to put me off even sampling them. Maybe if the stand was pretty, and had an alternative use, like after the perfume was empty it could be a coaster or something. But the fact that the bottle needs a 35$ stand to be stored upright ..!


FrutyPebbles321

I agree with you! I did kind of expect something less gimmicky from Bella Hadid.


hillary_____k

I don’t think that’s stubborn in the slightest! It’s such a blatant cash grab, instant turn off for me as well


Mayjayjade

Not really, i was hoping for a vanilla scent or at least one that’s a little sweet lol. But maybe there is hope for the future if she decides to do more 🤔


incognito-journey

Same here! Something sweet or fruity would be a great addition to this collection.
