We Tested Bella Hadid’s Latest Fragrances That Also Work as Skincare

Every time I step into a store or browse online, my first priority is to explore the available fragrances. I’m captivated by the craft of creating exquisite scents (and their elegant packaging), and my collection is admittedly excessive. So, I was extremely intrigued when I discovered Bella Hadid was launching a new fragrance line—Orebella—designed to cater to sensitive skin, aligning with the growing trend of skin-friendly perfumes. 

Unlike many alcohol-based EDPs that can dry out and irritate certain skin types, Orebella’s “bi-phase” formula aims to hydrate and nourish the skin. The presentation is sleek and luxurious, offering a stylish alternative to basic roller balls or plain spray bottles that lack visual appeal. 

The initial layer features a unique mix of hydrating snow mushroom and botanical oils—such as camellia, almond, jojoba, shea, and olive—which enhances the fragrance's staying power. (It’s similar to applying lotion before perfume; hydrated skin retains scent longer). The second layer contains the fragrance itself, blending aromatherapy essential oils with refined fragrance notes. Before use, you shake the bottle to combine both layers. 

The geode-inspired bottles are stunning. Crafted with a thick glass base and a gold-toned cap, each bottle fits comfortably in your hand. The tapered bottom prevents it from standing upright, so it rests flat on surfaces. Inside, the bi-phase formula swirls beautifully, catching the light and shimmering. Once shaken, it transforms into a creamy texture, ready for application. The results are impressive—the scent lasted throughout the day, exceeding my expectations.

Currently, there are three fragrances available—Window2Soul, Salted Muse, and Blooming Fire—offered in three sizes. The 10mL size (ideal for purses) costs $35, the 50mL (perfect for everyday use) is $72, and the 100mL (for avid fans) is priced at $100. 

1. Blooming Fire Parfum 

For floral enthusiasts, this fragrance is a must-have. Blooming Fire is ideal for spring and summer, offering a lush floral experience. To me, it evokes the scent of sunlit jasmine carried by a salty ocean breeze, grounded by sweet bergamot and cedar. It’s sweet yet earthy, avoiding any overly sugary tones. 

2. Window2Soul Parfum 

If you love florals but prefer something with more depth and sophistication, this is the perfect choice. Window2Soul exudes a refreshing, clean-skin aroma reminiscent of stepping out of the shower. It combines rose and jasmine with a hint of lemon, a touch of mint, and the crispness of freshly picked geranium. 

3. Salted Muse Parfum

Fans of woody and spicy fragrances will be drawn to this warm, inviting scent. With a slightly masculine edge, it’s perfect for fall and winter, offering an earthy profile rather than floral. The blend features olive tree accord, cedarwood, and sandalwood, accented by a subtle hint of spicy pink pepper and sea salt.
