All of the listed ingredients are simply a teaser for the Baby Powder drydown. The entire composition is weirdly-but not unpleasantly-synthetic.

I do agree with people who say that Flora Bella smells like Vera Wang Princess but a little less complex.
It's more on the mature side, Classy, maybe with just a little bit of youth.
Bottom line: it smells expensive.
Staying power is pretty good.

I bought a bottle of this while on vacation and without trying it prior to that time. I agree this fragrance is flowery and powdery. It is definately a summer fragrance. I can't decide if I like it or not, so probably would not buy again. Update: I just smelled Princess by Vera Wang for the 1st time and it smells very much like Flora Bella.

I'm surprised there are not more reviews, as it is on shelfs in so many department stores I visited. Honestly, I never gave it a try before either, as the cute purple bottle suggests a scent like Eclat d'arpege or something else sweet and girly. This is not that girly at all, although it is not seductive or perfumy either. It is a very soft, slightly salty dry floral, but with a peppery, greenish hint, as if they used the whole plant, not only petals. In the drydown I get a dry, somewhat smoky vanilla with the floral hint (bit like powdery violet with lilac) lingering through. The sillage is just amazing, I constantly notice there's something smelling great, and hey, it's me! Great summer scent, do give it a try!
top: Bergamot, Mandarin, Red Pepper, Violet Leaf.
heart: Daphne Flower, Frangipani Flower, Blue Freesia, Cassie.
base: amber, vanilla, white musk.
Update: I got a full bottle after sampling it a few times. To be honest, after having used it for a while, it got less and less interesting.

Ok, this is a VERY nice fragrance, but the only reason I will not repurchase it is that I can not wear it every day becase it is TOO much interesting! that is weird but I have never really had that interesting and different fragrance from any other I know :) It is fresh, flowery but not that much, maybe little salty (?) ... you must try it!
