A softer, more intimate, and distinctly fruit-touched companion to the iconic original — Mariella de Mariella Burani Eau de Toilette is the 1996 flanker to the house's celebrated debut fragrance and one of the most quietly enchanting entries in the entire Mariella Burani catalogue. Where the original 1993 Mariella Burani was bold, powdery, and deeply oriental, Mariella de Mariella Burani takes a lighter, more delicately feminine path — a warm, creamy oriental floral suffused with ripe peach, exotic lotus, and a beautifully composed bouquet of jasmine, carnation, and lily, all anchored by a lush, softly sensual base of heliotrope, orris root, sandalwood, and vanilla. Housed in a stunning bottle designed by the legendary Pierre Dinand — the man behind some of the most iconic fragrance flacons in history — it is as beautiful on the vanity as it is on the skin. Now discontinued and increasingly rare in the full 100ml tester format, it remains a deeply cherished piece of the Mariella Burani heritage. Presented here as a tester unit — full bottle, no retail box — offering the complete fragrance experience at outstanding value.
Mariella de Mariella Burani opens with a bright, refined accord of palisander rosewood, bergamot, and grapefruit — citrus-tinged, softly woody, and immediately elegant, with the rosewood lending a warm, slightly resinous quality that sets a sophisticated tone from the very first spray. The heart unfolds into a beautifully layered exotic floral core of lotus, cyclamen, carnation, jasmine, and lily — lush, softly powdery, and distinctly feminine, the lotus adding an unusual, slightly aquatic-floral exoticism that gives Mariella de Mariella Burani its most distinctive and memorable quality. The fragrance settles into a rich, warm, and deeply satisfying base of heliotrope, orris root, peach, tonka bean, vanilla, sandalwood, amber, and musk — creamy, honeyed, and beautifully long-lasting, the peach weaving through the base with a softly gourmand sweetness that elevates the entire dry-down into something genuinely addictive.

Mariella de Mariella Burani is a fragrance that rewards patience and skin time above almost anything else in the collection. Its opening is refined and citrus-bright, its heart is lushly exotic and softly powdery, and its dry-down is one of the most richly satisfying in all of 1990s Italian designer perfumery — a creamy, peachy, heliotrope-and-vanilla warmth that sits close to the skin and evolves beautifully for hours. Described by collectors as the more approachable, more summer-friendly, and more openly sensual sibling of the original, it pairs perfectly with the 1993 fragrance for a complete year-round Mariella Burani wardrobe. Longevity is impressive for an Eau de Toilette, with a skin-close sillage that rewards intimacy and leaves a quietly beautiful impression long after the first spray. As a tester in the full 100ml format, this represents outstanding value for one of the rarest and most sought-after bottles in the entire Mariella Burani universe.
