BellaVita Luxury Honey Oud Eau de Parfum (3.4 fl. oz.) | Patchouli, Vanilla, Bergamot, Floral & Spicy + Made with Clean & Vegan Essentials Oils + Cruelty Free | Long-Lasting Unisex Fragrance

2nd Update 10/17/25: I started using this in april of 2024. It’s still my daily choice of perfume. Just today, someone kindly asked me what I was wearing after smelling me in front of her in a parking garage! I showed her the Amazon listing and BOOM, she’s gonna buy it. At this point, I don’t want anything but this perfume. Take the blind leap of faith with your sniffer ☝️ UPDATE: I’ve been using this perfume for approximately 4ish months now. My original review said the scent lasted a while, but I do think it actually wears off quickly. I find myself reapplying it at least 1-2 times throughout the day. However, literally never in my life have I had so many complete and random strangers approach me about my scent. Everywhere I go, someone starts sniffing the air and says something smells really good. I held a baby for a few minutes and someone could smell my perfume on the baby and said it smelled good. Random women at work constantly tell me I smell amazing. Women tend to love the smell. I had a woman approach me in the grocery store and said she was a scent connoisseur and asked me what I was wearing because she loved it so much. She was shocked when I told her how affordable the scent was. I frequently get comments like “you smell like luxury” or “you smell expensive”! My coworkers sniff my like a dog sometimes!!! The scent has definitely grown on me and I really enjoy the woody and spicy yet also very sweet scent. If you are contemplating purchasing it, DO IT. You will thank yourself later because people will be all over you about how delicious you smell, especially once the scent settles into your skin and melds with your natural pheromones. This scent is definitely an attention grabber and makes you feel sexy and mysterious and flirty! This literally has become my daily perfume despite the fact that I previously decided it wouldn’t be based on a one time use. If you buy and don’t love it right away, use it for a week and the rethink your decision! I originally gave it 4 stars, but I’m giving it 5 now. Original: The scent does last quite a while. I sprayed some on me in the evening because I wanted to smell the new scent and I caught some scents of it lingering the next morning. The scent is sweet and thick. It has slight hints of citrus but the vanilla and patchouli are the strongest notes. The spice is also a bit stronger than I’d personally prefer however, it’s still quite nice. It’s a great date night scent. It reminds me of the bath and body scents but with better quality and way longer lasting. I wouldn’t necessarily pick it as a daily perfume but a great addition to the collection for when I’m feeling spicy and sexy. I’m excited to try more scents!

There is a fragrance that drifts—not boisterous, not hurried—but like a gentle thought wandering through a sunlit room. BellaVita Luxury Honey Oud is such a spirit. Upon the first spray, it rises with a sweetness that is not cloying, a golden honey that whispers of warmth, of quiet afternoons, and bees busy with their solemn work. Beneath this, the oud emerges—deep, mysterious, and eternal as a shadow cast by the slow turning of the day. It clings softly to the skin, lingering in the way a memory does, drawing one inward to reflection and delight. The balance of sweetness and depth is delicate, like a line of poetry written between heartbeats. One feels lifted, yet grounded, in the presence of this scent, as though the world is hushed just long enough for contemplation. I cannot imagine a more perfect companion for moments of introspection or gentle revelation. BellaVita Honey Oud is not merely a fragrance; it is a quiet revelation, a luxury of spirit captured in amber and gold. I grant it five stars, for it is rare and true.

So this is a pretty, golden bottle, BUT the "honey" profile ends there?? Juice has notes of oud, lime, generally masculine, warm, and spicy in a gourmand, environmental (i.e. think warm and spicy home or kitchen waft, versus a particular dish or cuisine) sense. It's woody and definitely skews more "manly"/ masculine in spray profile and on the skin. Wear/ scent goes on heavy, would suggest direct-to-skin application, conservative spritz (1-2), then allowing air dry before donning clothing. Spraying your clothes is going to run strong, with an alcoholic finish. Let that carrier (alcohol) dry off, don't wear it in your attire. Final product is subtle and intimate in sillage, it's closer quarters and closer contact, rather than an announcement you're here. IF you spray clothing, you may do more screeching-- but dry-down with light spritz is understated and warm. - 3 stars because wear-time seems to run shorter, - Also expected a feminine finish?? But don't get traditionally "girly" or "womanly" notes anywhere in this one? - I'm a big fan of Mugler's Angel line (and personally own multiple flankers), so I don't mind a heavier patchouli-- but I don't find him here? (Amazon advertises this accord in product byline) - Gifted full bottle to teenaged son, along with some of the guidelines here about keeping his application light, and out of clothing directly. Sidenote: Even though this scent has "honey" in the name, perfume Bible (Fragrantica) doesn't list or include honey in its scent accords?? They also don't list the patchouli mentioned above?? I can't account for a honey scent at all here, either, but scent does run sweetly warm. TLDR: If you're looking for a BIG honey signature (i.e. KK "Pure Honey," or Demeter line), this is NOT the cologne/ perfume for you. That being said, it's a woody, intimate masculine fragrance that won't break the bank, and doesn't smell like every other gentleman, or masc-leaning cologne, on the market today.

This is musky, wood, vanilla, patchouli with a hint of sweetness. Pretty good size jar. It stick with you too! I sprayed it on my wrist when it first came at about 7pm and I could still smell it the next day until I showered. Its not my favorite but its there on my list of favorites.

The perfume is beautiful, sweet and soft . Honestly I’m not sure what I was expecting since this was a 100% blind buy . Lately I’ve been having horrible luck with blind buying fragrances . Luckily this DID NOT disappoint. At first you smell a slight soft vanilla with a back spice and as that dries down and smooths out you then begin to pick up on that gorgeous back note of honey oud ! I’d definitely give this a10/10 recommended . It also seems to last all day which is shocking especially for its low price

It will turn heads and lasts most of the day!! I bought this for my mom but I think I’m going to purchase another bottle for myself. If you love the smell of honey/vanilla you will love this as well. A little goes a long way trust me!! You don’t need to spray a lot because it sprays out wide mist. Bella Vita definitely gave a nice size bottle for the value for your money.

I bought this because I wanted a new scent for an affordable price. Someone stating they were told they smelt expensive was what sold me. When I wore it the first time for a work get together, another woman specifically smelt me out and made it public how great I smelt and asked what it was. I said oh i hope i didnt put too much on. All the ladies said no. It was perfect. 2 squirts and it was about an hour later. She also told me I smelt expensive and asked the name. Mult ladies saved in their own phones what perfume this is. Highly recommend and felt really great about myself after. I only put on when I have a special something planned.

Initially when I put on this perfume it smelled cheap. Like how cocoa musk smells. chemically sweet. However after a few minutes it dries to a spicy, smooth sweet smell without that cheapie smell mostly. It's really strong too. Not super complex, just a sweet smell with a little spice, but still very nice. Projects and lasts a while. A lot of comments mention it smelling masculine and maybe right out of the bottle it could be, but it's too sweet personally for me to think it's masculine. This is more of a fall/winter perfume too.
