  Looking for fragrances with anise, my favorite note, I stumbled blindly onto Anisia Bella, a discontinued AA that’s hard to find. It seemed like an original scent of pure contrast: on one hand, the freshness of basil and tea, reminiscent of freshly cut grass; on the other, the slight sting of licorice and anise; and the dry, soapy touch of iris. It’s a very attractive scent, but not for me, more for a man. Mmmm! I think for them it would be the typical all-rounder fragrance, usable at any time, quite distinctive, and I don’t recall smelling anything similar.

  Looking for something with anise, my favorite note, I ran into Anisia Bella by chance. It’s a collector’s AA jewel that’s hard to find. It’s a scent full of contrasts: on one hand, the freshness of basil and tea that reminds you of freshly cut grass; on the other, the slight tingle of licorice and anise, plus that dry, soapy touch of iris. It’s very attractive, but not for me, more for a man. Mmm, I think for them it would be that all-purpose fragrance you can wear anytime, super distinctive, and I haven’t smelled anything similar.

  I bought Anisia Bella almost blindly (I tested it years ago and the memory had faded). I loved the early Aqua Allegorias, full of nuances and quality, and this one from the third collection still hadn’t reached the blandness of the later ones. Anything with anise, licorice, and violet calls to me; I love those dark green blends with syrupy notes and touches of ivy and asphalt. But by God, none of that is here. I don’t smell anise, violet, or licorice. Not even basil or green tea. A genre that should be crisp and cool, but my nose detects nothing. It smells like someone mixed a jar of body lotion with dying fennel. It has a moisturizing and aromatic consistency, but the fennel is hard, yet not the fresh, crisp one with anise and bitter notes; instead, it’s flat, soft, and yellow, with hints of juniper, dill, a terrible soft cassia, and a morbid orange that makes my stomach turn. Plus, the base is a watery, very ugly body cream. The image is stagnant, dead water. It doesn’t reach fecal levels, but it’s lifeless. It smells heavy, sickly, and oily. Yesterday I wore it to give it another chance, and I felt like I needed to shower immediately because, although the trail is weak, the longevity is excellent. Surprisingly, I let two or three people try it, and they loved it. They said it reminded them of a forest, of nature.

  I bought Anisia Bella almost blindly, remembering how much I loved the early Aqua Allegorias. This one from the third collection still hadn’t reached today’s blandness. I love anise, licorice, and violet blends with hints of ivy and asphalt, but there’s none of that here. It doesn’t smell like anise, violet, licorice, basil, or green tea. It’s supposed to be crisp and cool, but my nose detects nothing. It smells like someone mixed body lotion with dying fennel. It has a moisturizing, aromatic consistency, but it’s a flat, soft, yellow fennel, mixed with juniper, dill, a terrible soft cassia, and a morbid orange that makes my stomach turn. The base is a watery, very ugly body cream. In my mind, it’s stagnant, dead water—not fecal, but lifeless. It smells heavy, sickly, and oily. I tried it again and felt like I needed to shower immediately; the trail is weak but lasts forever. Surprisingly, two or three people loved it, saying it smells like a forest and nature.
