Gucci Bloom Acqua di Fiori

It’s just perfect for that type of occasion." This sold me. A very lovely lady stranger was selling this 100ml bottle brand new (opened, unused) in box for $50 online. Came to read reviews here, saw the above.. BOOM. Sold. For $10 she said she would deliver it to me today. Take my money! I even got a hug from said Mrs when I admitted I use perfume as a distraction to get my mind out from drowning in grief. We just found out some news about my dad, so I'm preparing my perfume stockpile now. This is the perfect "happy & content" scent I needed and reading all your reviews will keep my mind occupied when required. So thank you to everyone who leaves reviews here. 🤍 Keep em coming! Thank you Salaryman, if you ever read this.. Gucci Bloom Aqua di Fiori will absolutely be my new forest scent. I'll be going home to be with family and staying as long as I need to. Spring is coming and I'll be exploring the forest I adventured in daily all through my childhood and youth, into my teenage years. I'm 41 now, I hope those mountains welcome me as they always did. I'm looking forward to being amongst the trees and nature that were my family when things at home were rough. Aqua di Fiori edt is stunning. I haven't tried the others, but this green floral woody musk is absolutely EXACTLY what this gal needed. I am so grateful. 🙌🌲💕

i've been wanting to have this since it first came out. i don't like other in the Bloom serie, because they are tuberose scents and i do not like tuberose. this one was love from the first sniff. i do not smell tuberose here, even if i do see it in the notes, and i am always very sensitive to tuberose - to a point than no scent with tuberose works for me. i have no idea how they managed to hide tuberose in this one, i quess here it just gives that full-bodied feeling, otherwise this green scent would be too flat. anyway, this is a modern green scent. simple and linear, strong and long lasting to me. it smells wet forest (no pine trees, just decicuous-tree forest,in a shadow, not in a sunlight; the smell of crushed leaves, green wildflowers and freshly cut grass. it corresponds just so well with nature at the place i live at. we do not have meny flowers, nor smells, just many greens, grass, wildflowers and forests, lots of forests. it is pretty much how it really smells here on a late summer evening, or early autumn day. it is a smell of a cut grass in a shadow, not a smell of a grass in a sun. it is a smell of crushed wildflowers, not those with many blossoms, but those with a few and small ones, and it is smell of more of a stilk than of an actual blossoms. why would i want to wear this you may wonder - it is very green and full of life, and not like any other perfume, and not any sensual or nothing to appear attractive. it is just like a smell of nature. very green. very pretty. just for myself. just wat i wanted.

I was on the hunt for a green fragrance that reminded me of fresh cut grass and rain. When I came across the Bloom range in Ulta and first smelled Aqua di Fiori I knew I had to have it, it was exactly what I'd been looking for. This fragrance opens with a bright, super green punch - a lush field of grasses, clovers, and wild flowers after a fresh rain. It begins to settle into a slightly sweet, fresh white floral dream, maintaining a zingy freshness - like a green Aqua di Gioia. I can really smell the Lily of the Valley on my skin, beautiful! It retracts into a skin scent on the dry down that smells like fresh linens on the lawn, relaxing under a shaded tree on a cool spring afternoon. It only lasts a few hours on my skin, but I love it so much I don't mind respraying. Plus, I prefer this one for daytime and like to switch to another fragrance for nighttime, so it works out. It's very feminine but could be worn by anyone! It could work nicely in an office as it's not overpowering, yet it's also a great spring/summer date fragrance and can even be worn on a run to the grocery store. I can't stop wearing this!

A few days ago I walked into Sephora and asked to test the original Bloom. I'd seen it everywhere and wanted to finally smell it for myself. It was nice enough, but very familiar and too linear for my taste. For whatever reason, the saleslady handed me a tester strip of Acqua di Fiori, too, and even with my mask on, I knew I was going to have to get it. I ordered a smaller bottle off eBay once I got home, and now that I've had the opportunity to smell it on myself, I wish I got the larger size! The best way to describe this scent would be "lush." I've been looking for a green, floral fragrance that still manages to be fresh and bright, and Acqua di Fiori is all of that. It's not exactly aquatic, but there's a certain juicy tartness that permeates all of the greenery. While I do enjoy green fragrances that have notes of fresh-cut grass, this is not one of them. This smells like white flowers, stems and all, doused in dew and citrus. A very modern, lush green.

This scent is amazing. I bought after I tried it one year ago. It's light yet it so lush and floral. I did not know that I had a soft spot for galbanum and honeysuckle. It starts out crisp and then it is drying down into this beautiful summer field of flowers. It's also quite aquatic which makes me think of walking through a garden during summer rain. It kind of captures the moment when rain amplifies every scent that is lingering in the atmosphere. It's very sensual yet very natural. I can not wait to wear it for warm summer days. But....the longevity is bad. Have not tried to overspray or spray it on clothes yet so it might be a way to keep the scent. Maybe a body lotion might keep it at place as well. Because I do want to have this scent on me for way longer than 3 hours. But honestly it is quite terrible that such a beautiful scent has weak longevity. Especially when I think of its price tag!
