Bloom

My signature, i have a problem with jasmine as a cypriot who grew up smelling jasmine flowers all my life, i even put them in my bed before sleeping in the evenings. My comfort smell and as someone who has a very sensitive nose this is such an amazing balance for me. Some says it smells sharp but it doesn't, its really beautiful and elegant like the jasmine flower herself. Its very intimate and i know i smell good when someone sits next to me or reaches for a hug. If you also layer it with a mist its the most beautiful thing possible. Amazing, beautiful, fantastic, gorgeous AHHHHHH

A lovely, unassuming floral. Bloom is tame in my opinion, but in a good way. I have a strong affinity for tuberose which is apparent with Bloom but not at all overpowering, leaving room for jasmine to shine through. Well balanced. No, this isn't a complex wear. Its consistent and inoffensive. Perfect for day wear, equally appropriate for the office, brunch, or a more formal event. Another user noted that it reminds them of EL Beyond Paradise and I completely agree! Having been a Beyond Paradise fan in the early 2000s, it makes perfect sense why I would enjoy Bloom so much.

I have a new vial spray tester and warily applied it because I've been so bored with the other Gucci brand fragrances I've tried. I saw many of the reviews here panned it, so I was expecting to feel the same. But Bloom impressed me right away with its straightforward photorealistic floral bouquet. As it wore on, a strange thing occurred - it transformed into pure orange blossom on my skin, which smelled heavenly! I don't know what witchcraft was in play for that to happen, but I've been looking for a very literal orange blossom fragrance and now I've found her.

My very first designer fragrance, it was love at first sniff in the store. I was yearning for it for years as a broke uni student, then built up the courage and finally bought it - and this single purchase pushed me into loving and buying perfumes. Gucci Bloom was my number one, my first love, so no matter how many negative comments I see about this fragrance, I'll always love it and wear it with pride. I REALLY REALLY hope they'll never discontinue it, but just in case, I'll buy myself another 100ml this Christmas. Make sure I never run out of it.

I tested this fragrance today and the way I can describe it is that it smells the way a warm bath with bubbles, coloured water, and floating flowers feels. When I smell it I feel like it's self care. If you like floral smells this gentle yet long lasting fragrance is almost therapeutic. The dry down preserves it's floral essence but there is this sort of waxiness added to it, almost like a hint of bees wax. I have to say that I love it. It's a comforting smell, the kind you would want to smell every day.
