Bella Freud Signature Edp

Seductively androgynous, Bella Freud’s Signature Eau de Parfum exudes warmth and exoticism. A heady heart of lingering, resinous amber evokes the free spirited vibe of Bella’s bevvy of beautiful muses (Moss, Chung et al), while the rich incense-esque scent of patchouli blends beautifully with the earthiness of tonka bean, to envelop the wearer with a subtle, smouldering haze of perfume. The smokiness of vetiver is then enriched by notes of olibanum resin and incense musk, while osmanthus and ylang ylang lend a tantalising touch to this unique and evolutionary fragrance. Like all things ‘Bella’ this conjures the spirit of the seventies – elaborately tasselled kaftans worn by bombshells in Morocco – whilst remaining covetably current; wear with a crisp white t-shirt and your ‘mom’ jeans for a sexy take on 90s cool.

Having made her name as a fashion icon and taste-maker, Bella Freud’s fragrances are as quirky and covetable as her signature sweaters (as donned by the likes of La Moss, Alexa and the lovely Laura Bailey). A gorgeous addition to any dressing table, ‘Signature’s’ sleek and streamlined bottle – embellished with Bella’s characteristic dog doodle – plays host to Bella’s and expert perfumer Azzi Glasser’s (famed for her work with Agent Provocateur) evocation of the essence of the Bella Freud brand; warm, embracing and alluring, it has an earthy sexiness that befits the modern day muse – feminine yet boyish, and seductively dishevelled.

Apply to pulse points, or spritz a cloud in front of you and walk into it, to be cloaked in a delicate veil of scent from top to toe.
