Arizona Bloom

@honorruby's review below sums up exactly how I feel about this perfume. She has a better way with words! I can't get enough of this perfume. I bought a 1.7 ounce on Marshall's website... I was shocked to see it there! Ya know when you spray your blind buy to test it out and at first it's just an OK? But then I just kept smelling small whiffs throughout the day and evening and it made me so happy. I swear this perfume must have ambroxan or iso e super in it. It's like this clean, beautiful molecular beach scent. I'm sorry to say, but so much better than my Another 13 that I paid way too much for. Fragrantica would not let me liken it to House of Bo's-La Mar... but if you put those two fragrances side-by-side, they are very similar. Of course La mar is a lot stronger and a lot more 💵, but Arizona Bloom is like the beautiful clean daughter of La mar! Omg and if you layer the two of those perfumes... 🚀 I immediately purchased a 3.4 ounce from the Marshalls website. I know Sephora stopped carrying this perfume... Maybe that's why it's at Marshalls right now, but the price is great and I'm here for that.I also have to add that while I was writing this, the same video ad popped up, took over my screen at least seven times! I understand that Fragrantica has to make their money, but jeez Louiz!!

This scent is just intoxicating to me. Such a rich musky base that is softened and made light as air with the coconut and soft floral touches. I love the way the coconut is done in here because of how creamy it is while staying so soft. It smells like the ocean breeze over an open field. It smells like skin drying in the sun after a day at the beach. It smells sexy but subtle I have a lot of "light and fresh" scents and I love that category quite a bit as an easy reach. However, this one stands out from my others because of how rich and rounded the base is. I don't think that it is the most unique scent in the world, but something about it is so special to me. I don't think the longevity is amazing, but I think it's a scent I can go a bit anosmic too. Sometimes I will think it's mostly worn off and then a get a beautiful whiff or someone else comments on my scent. So it lingers a little more than you might expect, but by no means a beast. This is also a big compliment getter for me. I always get someone commenting on my scent when I wear this. The sillage is great on this one. Anyone within a few feet of you will get a whiff but it'll never be overpowering. I can't help but go back to this one over and over. it's become such a staple for me.

This is a very unisex scent with a mix of synthetic and natural notes. Upon first smelling this I wasn’t sure what to make of it but I read up on the notes and the coconut and salt really stood out to me...I love salt in perfumes, so I gave it another shot with this knowledge and I can really appreciate it! Also, I get the fig leaf, and I’m obsessed with fig at the moment. The drydown is a little bit black peppery (but in a lovely way) and a bit sharp but this perfume got extra lucky, I’m in a clean fragrance phase right now and I think I’ll grab a full size of it when its on sale- it goes on sale quite regularly by the way. Another thing to note: I asked a friend what they thought they smelled from this, and they said it’s like a clean pine forest in the best possible way. I agree, this is very much giving clean girl. Edit; The longevity is quite disappointing and I feel like I need to overspray sometimes. But since getting that full bottle I’m even more attached to this beautiful and underrated scent more than ever. Despite many of the notes I pick up on typically being masculine this smells unisex on my clothes and feminine - even turns a bit sweet?! -on my skin.

After hearing Anne Lauren raving on and on for years about Arizona Bloom, I have finally managed to get my hands on a travel size of this and let me tell you, she was right! This scent smells absolutely amazing but like others mentioned here, the performance is absolutely atrocious. I don’t mean it doesn’t have a big sillage, I mean lasts for maximum 2 hours on skin and it’s a skin scent at all times. I don’t mind a skin scent but this is too expensive to justify getting a full size, at least at FRP. The scent it’s really nice, creamy, soft, ethereal, musky with a pronounced salty accent besides a coconuty/beachy one. Love a good contrast in perfumes. Also, it’s an interesting one and doesn’t smell like any other perfumes I own, which is great but it’s just too weak. I will enjoy wholeheartedly my 10 ml for as long as it lasts, but until I can get a bottle close to half price off, I won’t upgrade. While the scent is gorgeous, the longevity and sillage is shockingly bad. I know it’s mainly a musky scent, and these scents rarely last for hours on, but Arizona Bloom lasts like a body spray.

Similar to a few others, I'm shocked this one is compared to Le Labo's Another 13. The similarities are minimal for me, if anything. In comparison, Arizona Bloom wins by a mile, with Another 13 seeming 'watered down'. AB is probably one of my favorite gifts of this year. The sweet salt note is one of the most addicting things I think I've ever come across in the fragrance world. I've found coconut to be a temperamental note-- one that can easily overpower a fragrance. Unlike Versace's Crystal Noir, the coconut in this one is perfectly balanced. Oddly enough, this is a beach scent that transcends the epitome of beach fragrances. Comforting, buttery, rich, soft, salty, warm. Easily the perfect match for warm weather, yet I'm strangely excited to see how it performs in colder months. It seems like the kind of fragrance to create a sophisticated, salted ice cream scent, if given the opportunity. In the meanwhile, my soul cries for its weak longevity. I would instantly buy an intense version that lasted longer.

This perfume is a favorite! It’s comforting and familiar — like coming out of a hot shower and lathering up with a creamy (but very light) coconut lotion, then being draped in a cashmere blanket that’s stored in a wooden chest. It makes me think of warm sand, salty water and hot skin. In simple terms — it smells of fresh pencil shavings soaked in salty, unsweetened coconut milk. The positives: I adore this scent. It’s one of my favorite musks! It’s non-offensive on its own and layers beautifully. I would LOVE to smell like this 24/7. The negatives: I have to keep a travel size on me and reapply frequently. While it lasts a bit longer on clothes, even there I find it dissipates much faster than most people consider reasonable. This is NOT a perfume to wear if you want to attract attention. The price is HIGH considering longevity and there are a few similar fragrances at the same price point with better performance. Overall, I love it. I will purchase again but only at a substantial discount.

This fragrance took me completely by surprise as it’s not something I’d usually be interested in but it instantly became one of my top three favourites. I don’t really get traditional coconut but there is something creamy and lightly fruity about it, almost lactonic to me. The musk makes it sexy and unique but doesn’t smell chemically or sharp to my nose which I find musk heavy perfumes often do (I’m looking at you Missing Person) It definitely does have a summery vibe of being fresh out of the ocean, a little salty and creamy and delicious, but I honestly like wearing this in cooler weather too. It feels cozy somehow. I absolutely love this and I think it’s the most unique scent in my collection by far. Also most people seem to find the longevity lacking but for me this is really really long lasting, I can smell it on myself after 8 hours which I love!

Sampling from the Sephora Favorites Spa Day set. This fragrance intrigues me and disappoints me. Honestly I expected to dislike it because it seemed like simply a universal coconut sunsceen scent from the topper. However, once it sits on the skin, the dusty coconut remains in the background of a dry, green, woodiness that is airy and slightly bitter to my nose. Addictive. Kind of like pencil shaving, but with a story?! Less beachy, and more a very hot day at the quiet waterfront park with my parents as a child. It's disappointing because there is absolutely no projection and lasted around an hour and a half before settling into a soft skin scent. I want to smell it more! Definitely would not recommend it as a blind buy. I want to try this again when it's warmer out and see if it performs better. All I know is I can't stop thinking about it.

I personally prefer my fragrance to feel like an extension of me. If it doesn’t smell like it’s one with me, it feels inauthentic and I just don’t want to wear it (even if it’s objectively beautiful/smells great). Arizona Bloom certainly falls into the first category...I just feel like this is me. Ambery, salty/mineral, not particularly cold or warm - it’s like laying on sand during a 80° day. Not overly hot and not cold by ANY means. Not oceanic, but skin-like and gorgeous. It’s creamy in a non-gourmand way and more in a “skin that had SPF on, but just got out of the water and has dried while laying out” way. It’s toasted and lush and dry at the same time. I’m obsessed and this is a base/signature in warmer months for me. I wish it lasted longer, but I could just be so used to it that I don’t smell it after x hours. ☀️🧴🥥🐚

This is NOT a beachy sunscreen coconut, it is a fresh coconut thats been cracked open and you scoop out the fresh meat of the fruit. The cashmere adds a softness and the amber lingers at the end. The fig leaf is not over reaching and provides a freshness that prevents the scent from being too sweet and bath & body works like. There is ZERO pepper or oakmoss notes so I would not suggest this to be a unisex or male leaning fragrance due to that aspect. The jasmine is what makes this perfume so special as it truly ties into the wafting summer breeze aspect to this beauty. 8.5/10 and can't wait to make this my summer go-to! ***EDIT I wish I can say this was my summer go-to but it lasts maybe an hour MAX on my skin. So disheartening as I truly love this scent profile and was excited for a new freshie to add to my collection.

Been wanting to get my hands on this! It is a summery coconut, sun scent that feels like the beach! It’s playful enough for daily wear but a bit more sophisticated than some of the coconut-forward beach scents. There’s a sharpness to it that keeps it airy for the first hour or two, and u would describe the musk as a paper scent, I wish I could explain better. It also lasts forever. First spray in the morning still leaves that fresh paper musk smell at night. The initial light scent can carry some moments where it smells like pennies, but not as much as Bronze Goddess. This is a nice, light, daily fragrance I’d wear to the gym or office and not be worried about overwhelming anyone.

I don’t get dill pickle at all! It’s a fresh salty musk on me. I really like this for spring and summer. It gives off a woody musk which I am loving. I don’t get the fig at all or for that matter no coconut either. If you want a cheaper version Arquiste Sydney Rock Pool this is it. I also have that fragrance so I I just love a fresh unisex fragrance almost a clean skin but better fragrance. I’m not quite sure where people get dill pickles nothing in this fragrance smells like vinegar or pickles at all. If you want a clean skin scent this is beautiful Unisex for sure and longevity on me is excellent up to six hours. Highly recommended 10/10 great for spring and summer

I'm really liking this scent and am looking forward to wearing it more as the weather gets warmer. I don't gravitate toward coconut scents, but this coconut works for me -- it's an airy, creamy, freshly cracked coconut, not heavy or cloying at all, and the light sweetness is nicely offset by the salty notes. I agree with some mentions that the dry down is similar to Another 13, although sillage/projection is much lighter. I'm not disappointed with the lasting power though, especially at this price point. Lasts on clothes for a full day for me. For me this is an easy reach for the office and daytime outings. I think it will shine even more in the summertime.

Personally, I really really love this. I got this from a Mecca freebie within their beauty loop and every so often I remember I have this. I find it really long lasting despite what others say, and I really enjoy how this scent leans a little masculine. It's definitely unisex. Almost smells a lot like Sol De Janiero 62's older sibling, (I used to adore that scent last year which is probably why I love this one) I can't really seem to pick up the coconut, but can totally smell the musk, cashmere wood and black pepper which has a nice dry, woody scent. To me this fragrance is kind of addicting- I'll hopefully probably go buy a bigger bottle sometime soon!

i believe i heard the first review of this scent from lactonic scent queen emma (@perfumerism on tik tok) and i was immediately intrigued. her description of it was soooo accurate- a soft mixture of creamy coconut milk and musk- sunscreeny but not cloying or overbearing, like the softest summery blanket that you could imagine. there are some super light floral and solar aspects, and a hint of saltiness, but it's so well-blended that one note doesn't overshadow any of the others. i am excited to wear the f*ck out of this during the spring and summer! only complaint is that the longevity is pretty sh!te but that's usually not a make or break for me ahaha

I love this. the first time I sprayed I really only got pepper, but now I get a beautiful salty musk with a little bit of coconut. its very dry and evocative of heat, but not at all a type of perfume I would usually go for in hot weather. I find it to be a skin scent and definitely get a cashmeren esque vibe to it. this perfume does not fail to make me smell myself while im wearing it and its become an incredibly comforting scent. (and it layers really beautifully.) I think it would definitely transform in winter and still project that warmth and confort in a way that I would crave in colder weather. but for now its definitely a summer scent🩵

First try of this scent and I’m still deciding whether it’s a like. When initially sprayed there’s a green bitter note which hangs around for the first 30 mins and made me consider scrubbing. I’m guessing it’s the fig leaf? But, I persevered and was glad to find that it dries down into a very wearable light coconut musk. The coconut smells like real coconut flesh - salty, watery and only slightly sweet, rather than a fantasy sweet creamy coconut note you might get in a sunscreen. I personally don’t get any white florals. I would have liked to have though, to soften that opening. I’ll keep testing and see if this one grows on me.

This is quite literally how I imagine the girl in that famous commercial to smell like. You know what I mean, she runs on the beach, white dress on while on her period because that's the best colour option right now, having the time of her life. Careless, not a worry in sight. She might have tummy ache but you'll never know. She is the most free she'll ever be, not tied up by anything, ocean breeze in her hair and all. Probably lives in a caravan and makes youtube videos for a living. Surfs in her free time, has a tattoo of a wave on her shoulder. This is also how Miley Cyrus's Malibu video smells like.

I just adore this scent. I get the comparisons to Another 13 and Alto Astral, this is almost like their carefree androgynous cousin who goes on really classy sunny holidays all the time. The coconut is really just a hint of something creamy and refreshing, and it's the musk, cashmere wood and hints of salt and fig that do it for me. This fragrance is the perfect skin scent in my opinion, it smells like the weather changing and is just the right level of sweet. Projection is very minimal but I smell it on my skin for the whole day, it's so comforting. so glad I finally bought myself a bottle!!

I love this perfume, there's something so comforting about it. To my nose, once the coconut fades it smells just like Another 13, so much so I don't feel the need for both in my collection. I actually like to wear this all year round, even in the beginning when the salty coconut notes are most prominent, I still do not associate this perfume with the summer, I just find it very cosy (even more so in the dry down once the coconut has gone). I also get really good longevity out of this unlike other people so I'd really recommend you try it out yourself as you may get the same experience as me!
