What 1831 Norma Bellini costs
The usual price in Europe is about €45. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Lanvin Arpege but less than Stephane Humbert Lucas 777 Taklamakan and Initio Parfums Prives Absolute Aphrodisiac.
For work or for evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Lanvin Arpege is a lighter match.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts about as long as Lanvin Arpege and Stephane Humbert Lucas 777 Taklamakan. Base notes like benzoin and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is fall and winter. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: fall, winter, spring and summer.
