Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet (2023)

I adore Blooming Bouquet. I could literally bathe in it - it’s so delicate, beautiful peony fragrance with a hint of floral sweetness and musk. I’ve tested many peony fragrances and this one is an absolute winner. Despite not having many notes, it’s definitely not boring. It’s a sparkling, blooming bouquet! :) I love the sweet opening, it’s a real mood booster. I feel pretty and fresh whenever I wear it. The only downgrade is its infamous lack of projection/sillage. Personally I don’t have problems with longevity (given it’s an EDT), but only those who were very close to me were able to smell it. If you’re into strong perfumes, that’s probably a pass, but if you prefer lighter scents - you must try it! Trust me, it’s so realistic flower, it’s like a walk through the spring garden in a lovely dress and a flowery coronet in your hair. An absolute perfection! I’ve tried layering it with a matching rollerball and it slightly improved longevity, but in the long distance it wasn’t worth for me - it’s quite expensive combo considering how fast rollerball is gone. I’m totally fine with having 30ml (btw - really cute) bottle in my purse and reuse it during the day. 200% feminity, 200% realistic flowers, 200% beauty. I will never stop purchasing it! Ps. As for the comparison between previous and current formulation - I don’t smell much difference, the 2014 version was a bit more fresh while the 2023 is sweeter, but overall, if you’re a fan of 2014 you won’t be disappointed by reformulated version. :)

I have never smelled the "old" version of Blooming Bouquet, so I can't make any comparison. This fragrance is quite lovely. It's such an uplifting scent. I put it on right before walking my dog early this morning. The weather is just starting to transition to spring where I live, so it was bright but still a little chilly outside. The clean, fresh, floral scent of Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet really made me feel extra light and optimistic during my morning walk. I appreciated the frosty grass, budding flowers and cold breeze more than I usually would. This is such an unoffensive fragrance. I can't imagine anyone could really dislike this. It smells so friendly and soft. It smells like you just showered, are wearing freshly washed clothes and used some scented deodorant, hair product and body-lotion. Its just smells like good self-care. Honestly, the ultimate "clean girl" fragrance in my opinion. Its not very long lasting, after about 5 hours it turns into a skin scent. On clothes it preforms slightly better. Update 11/04/2023: This really has become one of my go-to fragrances in spring. The sweet pea is such a cute and refreshing addition to this beautiful composition. Rarely has a brand done a reformulation so successfully I think. Dior Blooming Bouquet has quickly earned a spot in my daily go-to's. I have also added a purse spray of this to my work bag as this is so non offensive and fresh, it really works beautifully as a midday pick-me-up at the office.

You have to understand Blooming Bouquet to appreciate it. This was created for the humid and high temperatures of the regions of Southeast Asia and the South Pacific. It was designed to lift from warm, dewy skin and linger in the humid air. In the right weather, this performs beautifully and as intended. I sprayed this 3 times on my wrist to test in Sephora, and walked back to my office in the humid 95-degree July air. I continually got the most beautiful wafts of sweet pea and watery peony that gave a run for its money to Valaya which I generously sprayed on my dress earlier in the day. Blooming Bouquet was easily detectable on my skin for around 4 hours before the point where I needed to lift my wrist to my nose to smell it. Not bad at all for an EDT. I went home and purchased a full size. This is definitely worth a try if you’re in an area where summers are warm and balmy. It’s feminine, refreshing, and very attractive, and plays well in the right environment and on the right skin (hopefully I don’t need to remind fellow fragrance lovers to moisturize everyday). This will be what I reach for on days where the mere thought of wearing perfume seems suffocating. Those that know will understand. Otherwise, this may not satisfy you.

I owned this back in 2014 (or so) and this is a very different liquid. Not sure how they reformulated this... but this is BEAUTIFUL 😻 it’s crispy, fresh, feminine, magic! I sprayed on my clothes and now can’t stop sniffing myself. It’s love ❤️ The first Dior perfume that I can honestly say I am happy with. This is what you get when you are done with perfume but you still want something. You have smelled many and decided that you want to commit for what is simple, clean, understated and loyal. It’s oceanic and selfless. This is what I wished Byredo’s “Rose of No Man’s Land” smelled like. Pure Tranquility. Anyone saying the notes have not changed either did not own the previous version or their nose is not picking up the bergamot. This is much more citric and bittersweet, followed by light floral, while the previous was just floral. I sprayed my skin at 5:00 pm and it took 35 minutes for the smell to significantly lighten. Is now been 7 hours and I can so very slightly pick up what is left if I stick my nose to my wrist. On my clothes it has remained for around 6 hours, 3 of them with a pretty strong presence.

I love this so so much. ive been searching for myself in fragrance for ages and i think ive finally found me here! it's so simple but in the best way, like there's no odd notes hiding here. the heart is a really beautiful mix of blooming peony and delicate rose. rose notes can be either really jammy and strong or realistically green and almost damp smelling, but the rose in this is neither. it's so pretty!! the opening is such a breath of fresh air with the clean, soapy bergamot and interesting but totally fitting sweet pea. I forgot this was an EDT the first time I tried it on (got soooo confused by the weird miss dior naming conventions) and was super disappointed by the performance but knowing its an EDT now makes so much sense. as much as I prefer EDPs, im not sure this would suit a stronger formula. it's so delicate and pretty you kind of want to bathe yourself in it. it dances around you rather than emanating from certain points of your body. yes dior is overpriced but I can't argue with how beautiful this is. 10/10!!
