A fruity-floral fragrance, the newly-launched GUESS Bella Vita perfectly captures the spirit and allure of the GUESS woman. But, as our editor discovered, there’s more to this fragrance than just a beautiful scent. Here’s her take on one of the most anticipated fragrance launches of 2021. For light intensity: spray in a cloud around your head and shoulders, let the fragrance fall gently around you.

For me, it’s a combination of factors. Yes, the actual scent is the most important, but I believe that our perception of scent can be influenced. Does a perfume smell better if it’s housed in a beautiful bottle? No, but a beautifully designed bottle might make the act of spritzing the perfume feel more luxurious. A fragrance’s narrative plays an equally large role. If you’re after a sexy scent to wear on date nights, you’re going to look for a fragrance with a seductive narrative.What I’m trying to say, is that fragrances are complex. Creating one in which the scent, design and narrative complement one another is a fine art; one that has been perfected in GUESS Bella Vita.

I’ve yet to wear it without receiving a compliment, but most importantly, every time I wear it, it makes me feel fantastic. To me, that is the true test of a great fragrance.”

Miscellaneous

Authority to prescribe an Authority medicine is granted for specific indications and/or for certain patient circumstances. Authority may be obtained by telephone to Medicare Australia (known as "phone approval") or in writing from an authorised delegate of the Minister for Health. I love beautiful fragrance bottles, and to me, GUESS Bella Vita is housed in one of the most striking ones I’ve seen. Opulent and luxurious, it’s the kind of bottle you want to have on display. Guess presents a new pillar perfume for women, called Bella Vita. The novelty is announced as an elegant and luxurious scent for a glamorous Guess girl. The concept involves a return to Guess's roots — the vibes of Southern California and the Mediterranean. "Designed like a shot of adrenalin, this perfume instils confidence, elegance, sensuality and femininity at the same time." Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number).

Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication. Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS.
