IsaBella Isabella Rossellini for women

I have the same question. Where can I buy it from? Thank you so much. :)

I've just bought it from a local store.
I like tobaco but I can't say I was thrilled with this perfume at first. It wasn't what I was expecting. I have a decant of Daring from a swap with a nice member here and I totally liked it.

This one is VERY dusty and too much of a real tobaco!
Not a tobaco dried leaf but tobaco as it smells in certain unburned cigarettes (like Drum for example). It's not masculine though.
It reminds me the opening of Lola by Marc Jacobs.
Fortunately I can't detect any trace of oakmoss.

It smells very nice on my dress and on my daughter, while on me it's not impressive but I've just found out that it layers PERFECTLY with Strip by Agent! Impressive results indeed.

@ guest_Elena: I found it in an italian site of rare perfumes, if you want to have the link contact me by PM.

This is surely a unique and (for lack of a better word) sophisticated vanilla. No Jessica Simpson or such here.
This is for the League that enjoys Shalimar, L'Heure Bleu, Botrytis,Luctor et Emergo..., to enjoy vanilla but not a foody one.
A reason for that is the very prominent note of oakmoss, which is on one side a genious twist to adding something specific and unusual to the vanilla-theme. At the same time it takes getting used to that note.
What I love about the scent is the vanilla-tobacco combination (which I'd like to point out was done here even long before TF) and the heiotrope is rightout gorgeous. I sadly just don't get over the oakmoss note...

Interesting one and truly surprising as to me, its notes pyramid seems to be unusual.
What I get first is vanillic accord with iris note and heliotrope, then tonka, oakmoss and lemon. Tobacco note seems to be most noticeable at dry down.
It is certainly one of the best oriental vanilla fragrances I have ever tried (apart form Eclix by La Perla and L by Lempicka).
It is not overpowering, perfect fragrance for winter cuddles on the couch in front of the fireplace.
Semi-sweet (vanilla does not feel gourmand), lovely juice to be enjoyed for approx. 6 hours.
Not bad at all!
The only annoying fact is that it is so hard to find - you seem to get perfume shops flooded with Manifesto but no one heard of Isabella for quite some time...
Arrrrgggh :-)

I think it's the best one of all IR perfumes. I have my second bottle of it. I remember wearing it to the dance class years ago, and my dance partner just ADORED this fragrance! He always used to say it. IsaBella is very feminine, warm, lovely and ... addictive.

i sprayed this one once when i was for a city-trip in Praha. the whole day long i couldn't stop to sniff my wrists... i remember IsaBella as a delightful warm, spicy and vanillic scent with hints of tobacco. very sultry and feminine! unfortunately i hadn't the opportunity to go back and buy it and when i intent to buy it back at home, i realised it's a mission impossible to buy here. discontinued! what a shame! back in Praha 3 years later i hoped that mutch to still find it in the same store i tested it, but nope. no chance! :/

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can by ISAbella?
Have been searching for ages.

This is a wonderful scent to wear every-day.. its not a wow-scent but its warm, deep and make me feel feminine and gorgeous. Its not a loud scent - stays close to me when I wear it. It stays about 3-4 hours - I think thats good.

When the drydown arrives, it's basically a unisex fragrance. The opening is a bit too feminine, at least to me, but it is marketed to women, after all. The notes seem accurate and it is reasonably natural smelling. The balance is somewhat off, emphasizing the fruit notes, but this may have been the perfumer's intention, for whatever reason. The drydown of this reminds me a bit of the opening of Dior Homme, actually. The longevity and projection/"sillage" are very good. One "trick" with this kind of fragrance is not to smell it close up on the skin. Let it mix with the air before it gets to your nose. Though it seems to be discontinued and hard-to-find now, it was apparently quite a bargain when it was first being marketed. Don't expect niche quality here, but if you like the opening of Dior Homme yet dislike the drydown, IsaBella may be the way to go, if you can find it, of course.

EDIT: I realized that the drydown of this smells a bit like Python by Trussardi. Apparently, what confused me is that the listed notes for these two are quite different. It's also got similarities to Vetiver by Guerlain, far into the drydown, as well as to Cordovan by Banana Republic.

"Sour fruity"--like a tamerind--is dead on. It dries to this wonderful warm spicy scent (must be the tobacco). Mature, elegant, classy; so is the bottle. IR makes such unusual perfumes: the herbal Manifesto is another I love.

it's so yummy! For me citruses are not dominant. It's like a little sour fruit icecream.

Love this perfume. I've long admired IR and bought this out of interest. I wasn't dissapointed it's her in a bottle. Very glam. Not a young perfume though. I had two of my daughters 17 year old friends over whilst I was trying it and they all liked it but said it was a bit too mature for them perfect for 25 and overs. It definately a very womanly scent. Very pleased with it if you like C5 or Joy you'll like this. Very reasonably priced as well. People who want to buy this will find it on ebay.

hello, i´m looking ISAbella, where could i buy it ? thank you

Smells really comforting and powdery.I love this.

Bought the perfume today. Have to say it is a lovely sweet smelling scent.Another great perfume for a small price.So attractive and alluring.

urgh!! this is too sour for me, even when i let it dry down.
i didnt buy this myself and i wont purchase it
i try to see how others like it, but i cant :(

Hello,
I'm looking to buy ISAbella for quite a time, and I haven't seem to find this perfume in any of the stores. On the perfumes commercial sites this product is always out of stock.
Where could I buy it from? It is still released on the market?
Thank you!
