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!

I tried the Blooms and enjoyed (and wanted) them all,lol. Acqua isn't a tuberosey scent like the others, they definitely feature that note quite prominently. The note is listed in with the white flowers but Acqua is green and astringent, it is crushed leaf and wild flowers. I chose this one to buy a biggie from the batch as a new modern signature scent, as it fits me now. It has the green of the 90s classic Gucci Envy, so if you enjoy that, this is going to be the Bloom for you. Do try first though, it is the least mainstream crowd-pleaser of the bunch. Guys, this has the green herbal feel on a par with Fleur du Male - if you love that, try this. It is easily the most 'unisex' if you heed the conventions of gender assignment to smell. Enjoy!

It's the first ever fragrance that I actually love! This one is perfect for me and I can wear it all year long. Best suitable is for summer. The opening notes are delightful, very fresh, mint leaves accord for some reason is what I sense. Later it gets a bit sweet on my skin, as every perfume I tried so far, but it doesn't bother me, wanting more and more to smell it all day long. Too bad it last at best 3h on my skin. On hair has a slightly longer longevity. Suitable for people that don't like sweet perfumes. I'm still exploring this perfume world, the starting point was 2 years ago after I realized that I cannot wear sweet perfumes during work hours, as it catches my attention too many times in not a good way.

This is a really good modern chypre. I love it. It’s heavy, thick, weird, but not stuffy like some can feel... when I say heavy, maybe I should say deep/rich? Not sure. it’s a polarising scent, but if you love chypres that’s kind of part of the charm. We don’t want safe sweet perfumes! Something about your look should turn heads, it’s awesome when it’s the perfume. This is very similar to Stella McCartney L.I.L.Y. (another modern chypre but now almost a decade old), and a bit of a distant nod to Chanel 19° (My #1!). They’re going for the same vibe as the classic green bombs (even Mitsouko a bit), and I think they did a great job with this one. This is actually my first Gucci perfume ever!

How fitting. While I was applying this I was listening to the latest by Perfume Genius on KCRW. Indeed, whoever crafted this is a genius! I just love how it is a warm floral which makes it more accessible throughout Spring and Summer. Kudos in adding the top notes of Cassis and Galbanum which lend an element of depth and sophistication that you don't normally find in a white floral.It is like standing in the middle of a lush garden in full bloom after the rain. You can appreciate the floral notes but there is the smell of earth and sun as well. The sillage is great so you can spritz in the beginning of the day and take your sun-drenched garden with you all day long.

This is a very nice scent, but quite different from the original Gucci Bloom. While the original is dominated by soft tuberose and jasmine sambac, this version is greener and more herbal. Galbanum, cassis, honeysuckle, and then sandalwood and musk. It is very wearable, if slightly unremarkable, but I appreciate that they decided to emphasise the green aspect of Gucci Bloom for the first flanker, instead of going in the sweet-fruity direction. The silage is soft to moderate, depending on the outside temperature, and longevity about 4 hours (pretty much the same as the original). I might decide to purchase this flanker after I have emptied my bottle of the pillar.

Flowers straight from the florist's refrigerator, or a lush garden on a dewy morning. This is a refreshing EDT that's green through and through, but tempered in a way that I feel I could wear all year long. It's very reminiscent of flower stems and water in a vase that has infused for a day. Dewy cassis buds and delicate honeysuckle bring a joyfulness to the vibrant green galbanum top notes. Lily-of-the-valley gives this a crisp floral feel. I feel that this is a versatile scent, uplifting when worn on its own, or giving dimension and elevating a heavy floral perfume, or a liveliness to a woody fragrance when layered.

Acqua di Fiori is my go-to on sunny spring or hot summer days, I love how refreshing the green notes are in it, like walking in a dewy garden. I haven't reached for this perfume in months, but today I decided to do a little experiment and try it in nearly freezing weather. Well, I thought I made a big mistake first... the same green notes turned annoyingly sharp. But once the top notes started to fade (after about 30 minutes) it transformed into a comforting and uplifting scent that makes me wish it was spring again. Not a total mistake after all, but I will save this lovely scent for warmer months for sure.

I liked Gucci bloom, but I found it similar to something else I owned. This flanker though, I love it. I can't explain exactly what it is, but from the first wear I loved it. It is a green scent, also normally not a category I'm really into, but it just works for me. The tuberose is still here but dialed down in the background making way for the green notes to shine. I will say that as much as I love this one, I won't repurchase. The performance is terrible. I have to spray myself like 20 times to get a good whiff of it and within an hour it's gone. Such a shame because I really do love this one. :(

I really like this. First impression, this is different than anything else I own and tend to look for in a fragrance. On me, this starts strong, like a forest after the sun goes down and the air starts to cool around the wild blooms and the lake. I don't get how other people say that it smells synthethic, this smells so authentic to me, it really transports me to a forest where Snow White communicates with animals and battles the evil witch. The dry down its the best part, the greenery starts to mellow and surfaces a creamy floral aspect that gives it sweetness. This lasts too. Good work Gucci.

If you want a cheap run-around, Primark has those tiny 25ml bottles from the PS... series. This one is the muted green/blue bottle called Blackcurrant & Amber, to me it's a dupe of this. They also have a pink bottle for the OG Bloom, and there was a third one but I can't remember, I didn't like it. Primark also has a pretty decent dupe for Delina/Exclusif called PS.. Regent, it's actually really nice for the price! I stocked up with 5 bottles (20ml), it's a mix of Delina with a nice subtle rhubarb and that powderinnes of Exclusif, to me it's best of both as I find the Exclusif too powdery.

high up on my wishlist. For me this is one of the best modern green scents out there. not sweet. fresh and dark green. a real novelty in the sea of sweet creations. i dont smell tuberose here whis is a good thing for me. to me it smells just like that green print on the bottle looks - dark green grass, forest on a summer day, some gentle flowers, and something just a sligtly mysteriuos, like a soft touch of a butterfly. it has nothing in common with the original pink bloom bottle. i dont like that one at all. this is a scent of its own. i am looking forward to be lucky to get it some day.

I haven’t tested Gucci Bloom I just wasn’t that bothered to. It was a impulse purchase to buy AdF blind but I’m glad I did :) it’s a luscious wet green fresh mossy garden kind of fragrance. It’s definitely different to my usual style of fragrance choice. The longevity is moderate but that’s to be expected as it’s only an edt. I’ve started pairing it with my sadly discontinued Jo Malone Honeysuckle and Jasmine cologne it smells beautiful really unique. If you want to step out of your comfort zone then give this flanker a try it’s definitely different.

This is the most beautiful mix of equal parts green and equal parts white floral scents. I think this flanker is the most different from all the others and the most unique. This was my first perfume I got with my own money and I wore it exclusively for two years, I cherish the little that I have left. I am shocked they discontinued this. I like the OG bloom too for its powdery cleanness, but you could call that boring, while this one is special, unique and interesting without being too odd or unpleasant.

smells like a wet garden~ i can practically see a courtyard speckled by fresh spring rain. misted flowering plants. the faint earthiness in this is cloaked in musk. (reminds me of thunderstorm by demeter). the fresh notes are filligreed with drowned flowers, ready for sun. its a catharsis, fleeting relief from love’s chaos, reverbing through scent. i didn’t think i’d like this so much, it’s surprisingly clear for a floral musk- scent. im very excited to see how it does in the warmer months~

I love the opening but there is a note, and I don't know what it is other than to say Green, that is very reminiscent of Chanel #19, a fragrance I had and swapped after much thought. This note shows up days later on clothing, definitely not right away but the same aroma I got from the #19. I don't like it so this Bloom flanker may get swapped to. I don't care if this gets no balloons, but someone might appreciate knowing this if #19 isn't their cup of tea.

I couldn't stop smelling my arm after I sprayed it. Such a unique perfume it is bright and floral with dark green depths. What you see is what you get, flower water. It smelled so green and fresh, it reminded me of a beautiful bouquet and Springtime. Sadly the magic ended about an hour later. This is amazing but it doesn't last. I'm considering ordering a sample size so I can try it out again because I liked it so much. I wouldn't blind buy this one.

I absolutely adore this fragrance. I was seeing someone whose signature scent was acqua di fiori and although things turned sour my relationship with this perfume certainly did not !!! It blends into the skin giving this balmy green summer scent and i can only really describe it as comforting - not offensive in the slightest. Way too tame to be an evening scent but it performs so well during the day, and I find it does cling to clothes well.

I love this and have the Nettare di Fiori also but not the original. This does not seem like a flanker to me but a different perfume in its own right and I get no tuberose. Many green perfumes are overwhelming to me and too.....something, like Chanel 19 is green but so strong. This is not although I do wish it lasted longer. However, it's cheap enough (without being a cheapie) to spray all day especially if you get a tester. It's lovely.

I love this so much. A light white floral with heavy wet green notes. Like leaves and grass in a jungle after the rain. Gives a very botanic garden greenhouse vibe. Very deserving of the name "flower water" however has such little longevity. This is one of those you can spray infinitely and it's still very watery, which I love (although I wish it stuck around longer). Is it being discontinued? I can't find it on any retailer.

I've missed Chypres over the last 20 years or so,but now they're slowly creeping back! Yay! I'm bored with sugary sweet scents all the time. This is fresh, green,clean and hypnotic . I love that first opening,I feel like I'm in a cool forest of fresh green ferns. It's extremely addictive for me. I love it when I get a waft. Bloom is beautiful,this is another level. I've have Eau Coriandre but this is a modern day version.

Ok. Nothing like Gucci Bloom. Reminds me of D and G light blue without burning my nose the way light blue does. Has a little more floral than light blue eau intense. For a fresh fragrance it lasts longer than most fresh fragrances. I get 6 hrs out of it in the heat, but I also tend to over spray. I think you might get like 4 hrs if you’re a normal sprayer. I love this for hot days in summer.

I think this perfume is an actual gem It has a different smell then the original but it is still in the same family When i spray this it directly smells like a bouqet of flowers It does not smell artificial so that is good It starts of as very fresh then later it dries down in a fresh sweet floral perfume On my skin it lasts about 6 hours The silage is moderate Rating 9/10

Very niche smelling. This is such a wearable scent- lovely top notes with something spicy in the mix. It's definitely become my signature after smelling many perfumes over the last year- there's not anything else like it. The white floral isn't too overwhelming and the herbaceous notes are beautifully blended. Sillage is good for the office. True love for me ❤️

This is a definite pleaser. Bitter jasmine and not much else, sweet and sophisticated and not a hint of the syrup candy-like sweetness. I find it very sensual in a natural kind of way. Jasmine does dominate in this perfume, but it's a very authentic scent. Sillage is moderate, and lasts up to 6-7h.

I Really Love this fragrance a lot I think I love it even more than the original Gucci Bloom it’s so gorgeous I personally am a huge fan of white floral fragrances and Jasmine fragrances I love the green feel to it it’s perfect for spring or summer an absolutely gorgeous fragrance.

Absolute must for spring and summer! The top note smells like you’re enjoying a refreshing lemon tea in a botanical garden. The dry down reveals a light, clean lemony musk. It smells like nice crisp morning dew. This scent is so aquatic and uplifting- no choking heavy florals 🌿

Absolutely beautiful and refreshing green white floral that's perfect for spring and summer. It's a crime that this has been discontinued. Then again, almost all of the best perfumes and flankers get discontinued (or reformulated) for some depressing reason.

GREEN! Honeysuckle, freesia and tuberose, my favourite flowers! I love this scent, it's vivacious, youthful, fresh and slightly warm. Office safe everyday scent. Some resemblence noted with EL Pleasures.

I'm torn with this one. There are days where I like the scent of cut off grass this gives me, and others where I feel it's too harsh for my nose. I will only wear this on very specific warm spring days.

This is lovely! I’ve never smelled the original, now I really want to, but this is a unique, woody, musky floral, with just the right amount of freshness or brightness from the citrus.

Fresh, green, mysterious. A very pleasant perfume! My love from the first breath. And how beautifully it unfolds! Great aroma, beautiful bottle and fine spray. Love very much!

The best green perfume I've ever smelt/had. I can't find it anymore and I want it so much, can't find any other green fragrance that I like this much. 100/10

This is by far the best bloom! All the others smell identical. I dont even find bloom interesting in the first place, but I love this one

This smells like a hot summer night, deep into a lush garden, big palm leaves all around, ripe fruits about to fall from the trees.

This is lovely! It really invokes a feeling of a freshly watered garden, water & dew droplets on flower petals

Very fresh summer fragrance. Very lovely and wearable perfume. Smells very green and floral. 4/5

It smells like freshly cut grass. I LOVE it! The stores near me stopped selling it though

I really love it, this is bitter, more herbal version of Gucci Bloom. Perfect for summer!

Call me crazy, this smells like pencil shavings to me. A perfect pencil shavings.

Earthy-flowery-fresh and soft, close to skin, aromatic and yes, long lasting.

Okay, I am going to say this and then quickly duck out of harm's way, but... the opening of this smells like a German ecologically friendly dish soap... please don't hurt me... Let me save myself a bit though and say that it's not the fragrance's fault at all. It just so happens that this mix of notes seems to be popular in some German 'close to nature' household brands as well. Just that combo of Lemon, Lily of the Valley and Honeysuckle. And it's just the first few minutes. The dry down I like a lot better. I never smelled galbanum leaf on it's own, but by method of exclusion, knowing that what I'm smelling is neither of the other notes, I have to say, well... seems I like galbanum leaf? And it goes amazing with the dried down citrus notes. It's actually lovely. Clean, fresh and a lot of... errr... natural springtime greenery? It does remind me a lot of taking a springtime walk in Europe. Everything is budding, first tiny yellow and white blossoms on some of the trees, young grass reclaiming the thawed ground, a few first spring flowers here and there. Clean mild air, that carries the fragrance of new life and the promise that winter is finally gone. I don't dare really judge the longevity. In hot humidity it lasts maybe an hour. I mean all of it is so gentle and fragile, you cannot really blame it for not standing a chance in hot and sweaty conditions. However, if I was currently living in Europe I would totally consider this for a no-brainer everyday springtime pick and it might last a lot better under those moderate climate conditions. Sillage is also very soft on me. It's probably a fragrance that you'll mostly be wearing for your own pleasure. In that sense it's very office/school safe. Anyway, solid like from me. Edit: I ended up getting a full bottle. The heat is just picking up in Mumbai and this is just such an incredible uplifting refreshing relief from the muggy hot air all around. I really don't mind spraying more often to up the longevity.

It's been a while since I smelled this so it's not quite fresh in my memory. I love green freshies and I thought this would be the perfect addition to my collection. I got the travel size roller ball before pulling the trigger on a full bottle, and found it really pleasant. But this was not nearly as 'natural' as I was looking for, if that makes sense. It smells like a perfectly manicured garden, rather than a natural meadow. If you're looking for a perfectly manicured garden without being too sweet, this is perfect. But I found myself wishing for a little more zing of morning dew / agarwood / aldehyde or even cedar / vetiver, to give it some more damp soil or wild burdock vibe. (think Miu Miu L'eau Bleue) I enjoyed smelling it on my wrist, but it didn't last terribly long and wasn't anything 'special' in comparison to my other green freshies. So I wound up giving it to a friend. It's really gentle and unobtrusive. Neutral enough to not offend anyone. I feel like you could wear this pretty much anywhere; Lunch date, office, church, at home on a rainy day... even the gym, if that's your thing! If I had more disposable income, I'd consider buying another bottle just to have, because it IS nice, just not nice 'enough' to justify the purchase if it doesn't "wow" me.

I found the original Bloom to be utter generic rubbish but hey what do I know about mainstream designer scents that are made for women? Not a lot. What I do know is that Gucci have raised their game massively in recent releases the two new Guilty Parfums being notable. I thought the bottle, branding and campaign behind bloom gave it a high profile and a feel of real quality which personally never translated into the fragrance itself, however I have to say I really enjoyed this flanker and so did my better half. She enthusiastically came over waving her wrist at me saying “Smell this...It’s Gucci bloom” I sniffed it and immediately replied...”That isn’t bloom...it’s nice.” She proceeded to show me the bottle and it was this flanker. I subsequently got a sample and confirmed that Acqua di Fiori opens up with a green, galbanum note of transparent incense which by its very nature is fleeting but quickly establishes a herbal, musky woods which is very fresh and green. Nothing sweet, overly floral or cliched in here just really good, light stuff perfect for spring/summer and unisex...I’d rock it. Maybe not enough to blow me away, it’s no Ninfeo Mio but it shares some similarities.

〰✴A green and delicate bouquet✴〰 The name of this perfume literally means 'flower water', and I think it suits the fragrance very well. As you can tell from the notes it is a predominantly a floral fragrance, but also very fresh and green. I've noticed that a lot of people find the green note annoying, as if it smells like grass and nothing else, but I don't perceive it that way. I can't understand the single notes very well, but I can clearly smell flowers and leaves. Very youthful, elegant and discreet. Overall I find it a pleasant scent, but I have to say that I’m not particularly impressed, definitely. I find it nice, but not incredible or unforgettable. It smells good and the bottle design is amazing, but it's not enough to convince me to buy it. Also, I have to mention sillage and longevity are pretty low for the brand and the price. Setting & feelings: You are having a picnic with your close friends in a park near a pond, having a good time. While talking you absent-mindedly pick up some flowers and blades of grass, playing and rolling them between your fingers. Overall: 6/10 N✴〰

I've only tested this one on paper by now, but I've fallen in love. It is definitely similar to Pleasures, but I think this one is more authentic. It smells exactly like green, field plants with a bit of soil, like a meadow. I guess this is not as pleasant scent for some people, as it is for me. I love it because it is so authentic and it takes me back to childhood memories when we used to work in the field and roll around on the meadows (which I still do, whenever I can) and these are beautiful memories. For me, this scent is real, it is not artificial, plastic, urban, unique or innovative. It is the smell of nature as I know it, it smells like life in the woods, which I long for right now, during the winter, living in the city and being indoors most of the time. Maybe i don't come across this kind of perfumes a lot, it is definitely not as warm or strange as are the scents I like in this moment of my life, but if it's gonna behave on my skin as I hope it will, it is going to be mine, no doubts.
