Gucci Bloom

Oh my... Gucci Bloom smells flawless. Timeless, beautiful floral. So what if there are similar floral perfumes in the market...look at all the sweet gourmands and their endless cheap clones. This on the other hand is a high quality very intense white floral. It's such a balanced blend of tuberose, jasmine and honeysuckle, all united into one scent but at the same time you can definitely identify all of them separately. High pitched jasmine and the orris root adds a dusty powdered vintage feel. Bubblegum vibes, plummy, grapey and honeyed floral. With a green kick. To some it will seem linear and lacking notes, but really on skin it has enough facets so it doesn't end up boring and at the same time it is very happy to layer with other perfumes, trust me. Smells polished, groomed and powdered too. Not old-lady and neither teenybopper; this is the perfume for a young woman who wants to smell beautifully and stand out. Gucci Bloom is not overpowering but at the same time it does not go unnoticed either. Gucci Bloom and Twilly Hermes really stand out as new releases of 2017. Don't bother with the so called four-centric-white floral-young Gabrielle myth that Chanel is promoting, it's brainwashing: all they have done is a plain citrus floral shampoo juice and a huuuuuge advertising-mega-story-campaign to back it up. If you want the straight up white floral of the 2017 it's Bloom. If you want the youthfulness with a spice of 2017 that's Twilly. Truly an unexpected release. But we are so so happy with it. Well done Gucci, keep it up like that!!!

When I first sprayed this, I instantly thought of Beyond Paradise by Estee Lauder. (My Beloved, my Beyond Paradise, has been discontinued. Estee Lauder's loss, how they can discontinue a unique masterpiece like BP and keep some Raid-smelling thrift-shop old-lady reject like "Private Collection" is beyond me. But hey, Estee Lauder, get mad at your income. Gucci's got us.) For those who complain about it smelling like early 2000's, you're right, but that doesn't mean its bad. Or exactly the same... because it's not. So, yes, Gucci Bloom does have elements of other scents from that period, as every art form has an era, music, painting, writing. Perfume should be no different. Gucci Bloom smells like the beauty of impressionistic paintings, with soft notes of Renoir's warmth when he painted women he adored. Mixed in are the gardens of Monet's Giverny, with each flower being evident. I can see the women of any age who would wear this, I am one. There's nothing wrong with having taste for something beautiful. It is distinctively feminine and although I don't know all the notes, there's a sweetness that's balanced by something tart, with smooth undertones that pull the flower compositions together in a soft glow. There's also something fresh, so the sweetness is lifted like a cool breeze in a hot room, so it doesn't provoke one of my mind numbing migraines. I have been looking for a new scent, since my signature Estee Lauder's Beyond Paradise was discontinued, and I found it. Thanks, Gucci :) See ya, Estée!

The most beautiful tuberose and jasmine perfume. When I first smelled this, I was transported to my younger years, spending my weekends at the Hindu temple and going to South Asian weddings. It smells of poojas and flower garlands, but also a dewy, British summer garden; so fresh yet heady, and photorealistic. The perfume equivalent of pinning a fresh garland of jasmine and tuberose to your hair. This sweet white floral echoes my dual heritage beautifully; perfect for summer days spent in breezy cotton dresses, in the British countryside; but also equally as perfect for when I'm draped in exquisite silk sarees. The perfume itself is quite linear, almost a soliflore. The tuberose is creamy without being heavy and the jasmine is intertwined perfectly with it, without being too loud or sharp like Mugler's Alien. It's sweet but in a green, floral way, without any gourmand or fruity notes to make it cloying. I think it's perfect for layering with other perfumes, to accentuate their white floral notes. I adore Givenchy's L'Interdit in winter and this feels like it's summery sister.

I buy a perfume for myself every year for Christmas and I got this one this year along with a less expensive one. I got the largest bottle. I having multiple samples of this and even a travel size, I have to say this in an elevated floral. I'd expect nothing less from Gucci. My signature scent for many years was the original Gucci Guilty and why this is not like that at all it has the same elevation of class and sophistication while being very feminine and soft. I'm a strong goth girlie, heavy on the girlie that lives in the south and I like a statement. I'm a lover of all the Aliens and Angels. This to me is just so beautiful and accessible. Highly recommend trying it. I wrote an earlier review that it's like sticking your head in a bouquet of flowers and yet it also is just so smooth and powerful but not so overpowering or sickly. Adore. Last year my signature scent or I guess the last few years was Utopia by KayAli and this has a similar vibe while being very different still in it's on class and bold. Looking forward to wearing this most days.

Ive just bought a huge bottle of this because its beautiful and smells wonderful on my skin. To my nose this is as good a perfume as a Dyptique and although the reviewers say its smells similar to Do Son, I think it has a vibe similar to Olene. This perfume is like an explosion of flowers on a summers day. The tuberose is perfect without being sickly or overly sweet and I smell beautiful jasmine alongside gardenia and an array of white florals. I find it strange that Gucci decided to release this perfume just before Christmas because it is summer in a bottle, but as soon as spring arrives again, this little beauty will come into its own. To sum it up, it is floral without the sweetness and fresh with a hint of green. The silage is decent and the longevity is that of any top niche perfume. This lasts all day on my skin and gets me many complements. Gucci Bloom is a floral lovers paradise and I applaud Gucci for creating this fragrance, which was so badly needed after many very ordinary and boring Gucci creations.
