California-based indie line En Voyage has launched Fiore di Bellagio, a new fragrance inspired by Caron's Bellodgia, and by Zelda Fitzgerald, who also inspired the brand's Zelda scent (2013).
“ZELDA the perfume has grown a life of its own and the enthusiasm continues after the initial furor of shows, awards, and reviews," states Ms. [Shelley] Waddington. "This era was an important time for perfume; the Roaring 20’s was the decade of iconic fragrances. My thoughts this past year kept returning to Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald. What perfumes might have been on Zelda’s dressing table when she returned after her expatriation? What was THE arresting new fragrance of that age that would best suit her complex personality? I knew immediately; Caron’s Bellodgia, which was composed by the legendary perfumer Ernest Daltroff in 1927.”
The notes feature lemon, citrus, green leaves, ylang ylang, carnation; gardenia, jasmine, rose, muguet, violet, bois de rose, vanilla, sandalwood, iris, costus, vintage resins, civet and musk.
En Voyage Fiore di Bellagio is available in .6 oz Eau de Parfum ($75) or .25 oz Parfum ($95).

Envoyage Perfumes are usually fabulous on my skin. Haven’t tried Zelda yet but this one sounds like a must try especially since I like Bellodgia
Do report back if you try it, it does sound very tempting…I liked Bellodgia too.
Will probably get a sample of this whenever I get around to buying Indigo Vanilla but my money has to go towards my massage license renewal first (classes, insurance and license fee)…
There are several En Voyage perfumes that I want to sample, so I will add this one to the list (I hope that they don’t use real civet — doubtful at this price point).
I own Bellodgia and DSH’s Oeillets Rouges. There is something dank, musty, and long-lasting in both of them that I don’t like and that keeps me from wearing them. I haven’t worn them in years, so I’ll have to bring them out again to see if my nose has changed.
Would agree, not likely, but worth checking if you feel strongly about it.
I look forward to trying this, the En Voyage line has really impressed me and I’m saving for a bottle of Zelda which is wonderful stuff on my skin. So much tempting perfume, so little cash 🙂
Exactly! We need an emoticon for “empty wallet”.
