Ôrəbella
Salted Muse Eau de Parfum, £67
My first impression of Ôrəbella was one of intrigue and slight confusion, as the perfumes look like more of a prop on a Game of Thrones set than they do a perfume.

The bottle is reminiscent of a jewel or even a dragon egg, meaning it'll definitely stand out on my dressing table!

You'll need to shake the perfumes to combine their bi-phase formulas, which are made from an alcohol-free base layer packed with hydrating snow mushroom, plus aromatherapy essential oils.

Spraying them onto your skin is a very different experience from using other perfumes.
Their heavier, thicker texture feels wetter on the skin, and has an oilier texture that takes a while to fully absorb.
To ensure they didn't leave my skin feeling damp, I gently massaged the formula into my skin, which left it heavily fragranced.
The perfumes are impressively long-lasting, which meant I continuously smelled wafts of the fragrance over the next few hours.

Salted Muse is my favourite in the range - it's full-bodied and fresh, reminiscent of hotel lobbies, and has a herbal, sultry element to it.
Window2Soul is also lovely, but has a totally different feel to it.
Unlike Salted Muse, it has a comforting, slightly powdery air, and reminded me of walking down a blossom-filled road.

Ôrəbella Blooming Fire Eau de Parfum, £67
Blooming Fire has a floral aroma, which is peppered with warming bergamot and spiced cardamon notes, meaning it's feminine without being overly sweet or sticky.
It's not my favourite - as it feels like the least original of the range - but it's a great option for wearing both night and day.
Ôrəbella
Nightcap Eau de Parfum, £67

These formulas are very unique

Ôrəbella Nightcap Eau de Parfum, £67
Nightcap rounds off the set, and stars vanilla, ginger and cardamon - which seems to be one of Bella's favoured fragrance notes.
This fragrance is designed to be reminiscent of elevated evenings spent at cocktail bars, but I couldn't get past the fact that it smells almost exactly like Coca-Cola!
Its formula is also a very interesting shade of brown, so I won't be whipping it out and applying it on the train.

Overall, while all the bottles feel a little cheap (especially given the price point), each formula is potent and long-lasting.
Bella's certainly brought something new to the market.

Cannes: 15 of the most unforgettable looks, from Pedro Pascal to Rihanna
Organisers of this year's Cannes Festival cast a conservative shadow over the red carpet with the release of a new dress code noting that, 'for decency reasons, nudity is prohibited.' The rule was seen as an attempt to tamp down on so-called naked dressing, a trend that in recent years has inspired more people to wear less coverage as a way to get attention. Whether it stopped people from showing skin was debatable. But it certainly didn't stop stars from making waves with their appearances. Some, like actor Jeremy Strong, took Cannes as an opportunity to test colour palettes: He wore a range of pastels (purple, green, salmon) that would rival the selection at an Easter egg hunt. Others, like model Bella Hadid, used the festival to debut new hair (she went blond). Of all the clothes on display at Cannes, which on ended Saturday, these 15 looks were some of the most memorable for a myriad of reasons – nakedness mostly not among them. [ Cannes 2025: Clapologists get it wrong, an acidic Israeli satire is too hot to handle, and Scarlett Johansson serves up schmaltz Opens in new window ] Isabelle Huppert: Most Brat READ MORE Isabelle Huppert, centre, on the red carpet in Cannes in her chemical green gown. Photograph:The fine threads used to construct the actor's Balenciaga gown had the delicacy of natural hair, but the chemical green colour now firmly linked to Charli XCX and her Brat album. Pedro Pascal: Most 'Sun's Out, Guns Out' Pedro Pascal kept things simple at Cannes. Photograph: Doug Peters/PA Wire It seemed as if the actor knew that, by wearing a simple outfit of black pants and sleeveless top, he would draw attention to his bare, toned arms. [ The Last of Us finale review: A nerve-shredding, bloody conclusion that leaves us wanting more, and soon Opens in new window ] Rihanna and ASAP Rocky: Most Umbrella Rihanna (left) and A$AP Rocky. Rihanna is pregnant with the couple's third child. Photograph: Doug Peters/PA Wire Huddling beneath an umbrella in their Alaïa and Saint Laurent finery, the couple, who have recently been teasing the birth of their third child, brought a certain song of Rihanna's to mind. Dakota Johnson: Most Hippie Chic Dakota Johnson resembled 1960s Cher in Cannes. Photograph: Doug Peters/PA Wire Wearing a tiered, fringed Gucci dress, long straight hair and heavy bangs, the actor could have been mistaken for playing the role of 1960s Cher on the red carpet. Spike Lee: Most Hometown Pride Spike Lee channeled his love of the New York Knicks basketball team by wearing their colours at Cannes. Photograph: Mohammed Badra/European Pressphoto Agency The director brought his enthusiasm for the New York Knicks to the French Riviera in an orange-and-blue-striped Cointel suit paired with a blue hat trimmed in orange ribbon. Kylie Verzosa: Most Butter Sculpture Kylie Verzosa's gown resembled a butter sculpture. Photograph: Clemens Bilan/European Pressphoto Agency The actor's Mark Bumgarner dress featured the pale yellow shade of the season and a three-dimensional floral skirt, giving it the appearance of edible artwork seen at state fairs. Alexander Skarsgard: Most Kinky Boots Alexander Skarsgard wore thigh-high boots at Cannes. Photograph: Doug Peters/PA Wire Thigh-high leather Saint Laurent boots were not the only risky (risqué?) fashion choice taken by the actor, who was in Cannes promoting his new film about queer bikers. He also wore blue sequin pants. Angela Bassett: Most Girl With a Pearl Pantsuit Actor Angela Bassett wore a suit embellished with pearls. Photograph: Valery Hache/AFP via Getty Images Pearls were among the opulent embellishments dangling from the actor's Yara Shoemaker ensemble, a look that has graced more than one festival this year (Blake Lively wore it at South by Southwest in March.) Benedict Cumberbatch: Most Pinned Together Benedict Cumberbatch wore a black silk sling with his Prada suit. Photograph: Guillaume Horcajuelo/European Pressphoto Agency The actor made the rounds with his injured arm in a couple of stylish slings, but the most elegant might have been the black silk version affixed to his Prada tuxedo with a custom brooch by the brand. Emma Stone: Most Bib Emma Stone's Louis Vuitton gown resembled a large bib. Photograph: Doug Peters/PA Wire An oversized collar on the actor's white Louis Vuitton gown stood in for a statement necklace – and stood out for its resemblance to an adult-size bib. Cécile de France: Most Matisse Cecile de France's gown was reminiscent of Henri Matisse's Blue Nudes. Photograph: Clemens Bilan/European Pressphoto Agency Traces of Henri Matisse's Blue Nudes were detectable in the palette and figurative print of the Belgian actor's Schiaparelli frock. Humaid Hadban and Mohammed Hadban: Most Double Vision Emirati fashion influencers Humaid Hadban and Mohammad Hadban have a thing for identical outfits. Photograph: Clemens Bilan/European Pressphoto Agency Gentle Monster eyeglasses and glittery pins were elements uniting the ensembles of the Emirati fashion influencers, who go by the Twins Hadban and have a thing for identical outfits. Coco Rocha: Most Dressed Model Coco Rocha's dress resembled men's dress shirts. Photograph:The model's Ionut Razvan gown, which involved several layers of what looked like men's dress shirts, seemed the opposite of naked dressing.
