Name us a supermodel who hasn't ventured into the beauty landscape – yep, we're struggling too.

After carving themselves out as runway royalty, it seems that the most natural next move is to put their beauty tips and tricks learnt from backstage to good use with the creation of their own brands. 

Kate Moss' Cosmoss, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Rose Inc, Georgia May Jagger's May Botanicals and Miranda Kerr's Kora Organics, the list of model-helmed brands is ever-growing, and the latest celebrity to reveal her offering is Bella Hadid.

Last year, Bella was announced as the face of Charlotte Tilbury, but after parting ways with the cosmetics giant, the 27-year-old has launched her very own line of fragrances named Orebella. 

What is Orebella?

Ahead of its official launch date on 2 May, Bella finally revealed that Orebella is a fragrance line consisting of three perfumes, explaining in an Instagram post shared with her 16.1m followers that the brand is set to offer "the first intentional skin parfum".

When it comes to the formula behind each Orebella fragrance, Bella has ensured each one is alcohol-free, bringing hydration to the skin rather than drying it out - the effect some alcohol-based fragrances can have. These fragrances also feature a "bi-phase formula" which is shaken to mix and activate the essential oils.

On the Orebella website, Bella explains her journey and why she specifically chose to focus on scent: "For me, fragrance has always been at the center of my life—helping me feel in charge of who I am and my surroundings. From my home to nostalgic memories, to my own energy and connection with others, scent has been an outlet for me."

"It made me feel safe in my own world. Through my healing journey, I found that I was extremely sensitive to the alcohol in traditional perfumes—both physically and mentally—it became something that was more overwhelming than calming to me. That is the main reason I wanted to find an alternative, so essential oils became an artistic and experimental process for me."

According to the model, "The Orebella world is my soul. This world is who I am. This world offers the opportunity to bloom and grow, with the most perfect imperfections. These scents are a blending of my past, my present, and my future."
