Sunflowers Summer Bloom

I bought this yesterday. It completes my collection of the 'Sunflowers' range. it is nothing like 'Sunflowers' but it is delightful none the less. I have only tried this in the store and will probably not open the package until closer to summer. It's winter here in Melbourne, so the richer more spicier scents are being enjoyed by me. I look forward to reviewing this this comming summer, but from what I tried yesterday, and its not really fair to say that I can say anything. However I love it. I can see why when I look at the notes. It's just plain lovely. Reminds me of my very expensive Bvlgari II, mind you I was able to at the time purchase my two bottles respectively of the 50 mill and the 30 mill Bvlgari II EDP's for under 20. aussie dollars. Right place right time sort of thing. So if you are looking for something along those lines then this is the right fragrance for you. Cheers T.

I'm not entirely certain why I left this fragrance for so long. I've recently been on a mission to explore my collection a bit more, and give some attention to my lesser worn fragrances. I don't always know what to make of this one. It's fun, whispy and delightful, especially in Summer. The Pear, Water-lily and Ivy perform a wonderful dance when first sprayed, but Pear takes the lead on my skin. After 20-30 minutes, the fragrance begins to reveal its true nature: Vanilla and Musk, which settles close to the skin for the remainder of the day. Will this require re-application? Yes, and often. Do I care? Only about the fact that I've been silly enough to leave this bottle at the back of my closet for so long. :)

This is a very nice blind buy. Upon first spritz this immediately smelled like one of those nice light sweet floral. It smells feminine, girly and dainty. I could imagine a pretty girl in a cute summer dress wear this. I'm just glad that to my nose there's no screechy note. Everything is blended nicely and smoothly. I have Daisy eau so Fresh and while I can see the similarity, Daisy is more tart while this seems more subdued. Now I am tempted to buy the other flankers of these. Love it!🥰

This is a hundred times better than the first sunflowers fragrance which has a very unpleasant smell to it that I dislike,but the summer bloom version is a pretty sweet fruity floral which is great for anyone who likes light and sweet fragrances also it only cost me around twenty Australian dollars so your getting a great perfume for a great price,overall a vast improvement from the original sunflowers and recommend this if you didn't like the original because these are worlds apart.

The performance on this fragrance is horrible. You have to treat it like a body spray, which is fine because it's priced like a body mist anyway. I do love how sweet and summery it is and I would repurchase despite the fact that it doesn't last. Summer Bloom reminds me of a cool, dewy morning before the sun starts to come out. It is refreshing and light, perfect for hot days or the gym.

Is there coconut in this? I get a strong coconut lotion vibe from this and I'm LOVING it. Anyway, this holds a lot in common with the original in a loosely defined way. The pear seems to be the major backdrop here, with soft white florals surrounding it. There's an artificial sweetness to it, but I don't mind it too much. Quite beautiful, actually.

This perfume is very nostalgic for me, I used to wear this when I was a teenager (my mom gifted this to me)! Perfect light mixture of fresh, floral and sweet 💖 This used to be my signature scent. Longevity nor the sillage aren't that great, but nevertheless I like this. Maybe mostly for nostalgia but I don't really mind 😊

Like light flowers. I was lucky to find it. It reminds me of a young girl's perfume in decorative bottles in the old days...only difference is that this one lasts longer!

This was sadly very underwhelming for me. I wasn't expecting much either. it's not unpleasant but it is so, so faint. I can barely smell it on myself, sometimes i'll just put it on my wrist and bring it close to my nose periodically when i want to smell it, cause it doesn't matter if i shower my body in it i can't really tell that i have it on throughout the day. It is watery, it is breezy. I get a little chlorine. Hortensia is right since hortensias don't have any scent at all, what you might be smelling is the green stems if you sniff them out, and it is somewhat similar to that greenness. I get powder too. coincidentally sunflowers do not have a scent either, and this is the Sunflowers line after all. There's some florals, nondescript, they could be violets i guess but they're not really what you would first picture when you think violet scent. it's cute enough. If I could actually smell it having it on my neck and chest it would score much higher. It's not unpleasant at all, it's just too light and wishy washy. Should last about an hour and a half or two hours on most people... You can often get it for around $10-$13 USD from many retailers despite being an older limited edition. I would still pass on it unless i had too much money to matter.

Smells very lovely and florally- in my opinion the violet is beautiful, even though it's a bit hidden. This would be my signature if the nozzle worked, but sadly it takes effort to make it spray, and I'm barely even 5ml through it. This tends to be the case with Elizabeth Arden, as the perfumes are more on the cheaper side, but it's upsetting, as it's honestly a very pretty scent and I hate not being able to use it like I want to. Also, this flanker of 'Sunflowers' isn't that much like the original (as it doesn't have sunflower, duh!) and it does reminds me more of the 'Daisy' flankers by Marc Jacobs. The main notes in my opinion are the pear, the violet and the water lily. I don't smell any vanilla at all, also not long-lasting but the sillage is alright. It smells like spring, and would make a nice gift/ first perfume for a teenage girl, since it isn't very strong :)

I picked this up over the weekend, TJ Maxx 3.3oz for $9.99. Its like biting into a warm, soft, ripe pear on the initial spray. After the pear dissipates its a soft, sweet, slightly green floral. I would spray it on your clothing if you wanted it to really last, as the silage and staying power are soft. I like violet and water lily note, and love hydrangeas and like the idea of this having hydrangea in it although they are not necessarily a heavy scent flower. Another good casual floral to keep you smelling girly as you go about your everyday business in the spring or summer. Defiantly non offensive for close quarters. Makes me think of a nice sunny New England Backyard garden with a koi pond, ivy, hydrangeas, water lilies and a pear tree :)

Just like Dort0625, I gave it another try after being thoroughly disappointed with it at the beginnig. Supposedly summer fragrance, it was too sweet, bland and soapy, not a quality I like in my summer perfumes. It stayed on my shelf for over a year, used only a couple of times during the hot season, with ill effect. Until now :) Turns out- it's a perfect early spring perfume! Somehow the nauseating sweetness turnes into delicate freshness, with flowery scents, very lovely and refreshing (although wishy-washy and syrupy when it's hot outside XD) The only thing that stayed the sime is the longevity; I have to apply generous amounts to smell it on me, and reapply it every couple of hours.

I smelled this yesterday and it’s lovely and airy. I’m not mad about pear in fragrance or in real life, and I am pleased to say that within minutes, the fruits were barely discernible. This has a “fluffiness” and airiness from the violets and ozonic notes that bordered on green, with enough gentle florals and super subtle sweetness from the fruit that it wasn’t sharp or prickly. Great layering fragrance. Safe office fragrance. Great for white linen or white t-shirt days on the weekend. Longevity isn’t amazing but it doesn’t matter. This is a happy re-spritz.

Now I know that for many people the Elizabeth Arden name conjures up old ladies that sit at the front of buses in groups eating mints, but I like their products. This is very different to the original, which you love or hate, this is a lot more easy going, softer, but very good. A nice and light floral, with something unusual going on, almost fruity? Maybe it's that Ivy note, I can't pin it down. For the price, this is perfect for everyday Summer use, stock up.

I think it's great as an everyday perfume. It does smell summery and fresh, but in my opinion you can't really smell the pear or vanilla notes, the flower notes are stronger. If you spray it directly on your skin, when it wears off you can smell a bit of musk too. I personally don't have a problem with the spray nozzle either, (since the bottle literally says it's a vaporizer..) but if you don't press down all the way you can get small sprays. :-)

I like it, it's easy to wear,easy for sensitivities. Reminds me a lot of my little rollerball of Penthouse Blooming Passion, but a touch more sophisticated. Lasts about an hour, I'm not aware of any great sillage. I like the bottle when it has the cap on, absolutely hate the way it looks when I take it off. Going to transfer it to a travel bottle. If it truly is a good dupe for Daisy,(never tried Daisy) then that's another reason to keep it.

When first sprayed it smells exactly like the original Sunflowers but after a few minutes differentiates itself. To me this is mainly a light pear and jasmine with slight green and woodiness. It's gorgeous but not very strong. This honestly could've been marketed as a 5th Avenue flanker because after the opening it smells more similar to 5th Avenue than Sunflowers.

Today I bought my first real summer perfume and I like it. Very fresh but with a lot of feminine flower notes, I'm glad that there's no real green and also no citrus in it. But there is one in the same line that has those notes for whomever is looking for that kind of fragrance. I can recommend these summer fragrances on a hot summer like this.

Im wearing this one now. I love summery light yellow scents though I don't own many. I did like the original but I felt it was a "perume-y" this one is a lot more natural. I love real sunflowers and they do have a subtle scent. I also love freesia which is not listed but something reminds me of it? Maybe the water lily.

Light and breezy! Airy pear and lily. It is a great perfume for summertime because of how light it is. An EDT in every sense of the word (if not Eau Fraiche). It was a cheapie, so I will spray on to refresh etc. I do not believe this shares any DNA with the OG Sunflowers.
