Gucci Bloom Nettare Di Fiori

This is my very first parfum review for Fragrantica. I've had an account for several months now and trying to learn from all of you great people out there. I have always adored perfumes and scents, of course, who doesn't? I, however, struggle with fine tuning my nose to differentiate notes in perfumes, but I'm trying, really trying... That's an art all in itself. So I'll begin my first review with this dark and intoxicating floral parfum that I'm becoming more addicted to the more i wear it. I purchased a small 1 Oz. bottle back in the hardness of winter and I was blown away upon first spray and smell. Although it is tough for me to differentiate notes as I said before, I think that that is the problem... I need to personally dig deeper into the world of flowers to know exactly which I'm smelling. I've read that the tuberose is what stands out most in this parfum and while I can definitely smell white florals, I don't believe I've ever smelled a real tuberose in my life. When I smell perfumes, it's just kinda like, I either like the scent or not. Now of course, there are certain notes I do know... Rose, spices, vanilla, amber, patchouli (one of my fave notes), just to name a few. My point is, I'm trying to differentiate the notes and how perfumes change smells after drydown and if it's linear or not. Fragrantica members are the reason, I'm learning even that much. ☺ I do not own any niche perfumes and there are several I've read about that I'm very interested in, I also hope to smell a parfum with Oud as well, that note has me very interested. So back to the actual review from my basic skills perspective, I was taken away immediately to this dark, but truly lovely place. The coldness ending with maybe still a light dusting of frost in the morning. That place and time of the first signals of spring. Cool in the morning, warm in the afternoon. I do smell the florals, and man are they potent in this, but not in an offensive way, in a WOW way! I also love that the florals smell so life like and non-synthetic. The spices are most definitely there as well, which helps with the darker, but cozy feeling. I'm not typically a strong floral fan, however, I love the perfumer who created this, I usually love his work and fragrances and let's face it, the black viney florals on the bottle helped as well. I have never smelled any other Bloom creations, so unfortunately I have nothing to compare this with in that area. I plan to buy a 3.4oz. just as soon as I can. I'm in love with this perfume and I plan to keep it stocked in my collection that I'm slowly growing.

Got this out again today, it's been a while since I have used it. I went looking for it, because a friend of mine was desperately looking for a bottle I think about 1,5 years ago and I was able to still find a website that still had some stock left, so I got 2 one for her one for me. I am a huge fan of jasmine and ginger and wow this is beautiful! Back then I found it a bit too intense in summer, but now in February after a shower thinking what I would wear, I saw this abandoned beauty. It opens with a fresh ginger note and some rose, but definitely a soft rose. Then it moves on to a pretty strong white flower mix, with the ginger still lingering in the background. It does have some Twilly vibes, which I like but never got as it didn't last very long on me, this one has more longevity on my skin. Once it settles it leaves you with a creamy, musky, classy white floral with a hint of patchouli and a whim of fresh ginger. Not too overpowering but she remains present for a good while. Too bad this was discontinued as I feel it has gotten better over time and if I could I would hunt for another bottle. Might be the current colder temperatures just make it less cloying than plain summer, but I am definitely eager to test this again in warmer temperatures. All in all if you like a fragrance that comes close to a big flower garden and you are not afraid of a good bit of jasmine and a bit patchouli you will definitely love this!

This is my first bottle of Gucci for women. When bloom was launched, I was keen to purchase a bottle. But I changed my mind since I sense it almost every time I go to fancy malls in Jakarta since the original Bloom is so popular not only among millennials but also among newly moms and grown females. But when Gucci Bloom launched this NDF, I was in love and planned to purchase when another bottle off since I'm a 1-in-1-out kind of woman :-) It took a while to get the NDF, since I still had to convince my self that NDF will not be so popular like the original because I prefer to have one of a kind scent that makes people curious. Besides I always need a travelling bottle and I had difficulty to get a coffret which consist of 100ml bottle and 10ml roll-on, luckily i got the coffret in Metro Dept Store Plaza Senayan. NDF is definitely an intense version of original bloom. I was surprise that the top note is rose since tuberose and Jasmin is all over this from the beginning till it fades 2-3 hours. For USD150/IDR2,2 a bottle, the longevity is quite disappointed but I don't mind layer the spray when it faded as I love this scent. The bottle is too simple that I have kind of cheap impression for a Gucci line, but hey the scent talks louder. Despite I love the scent of Gucci Bloom NDF, but this is not on my repurchase list.

I'm pleasantly surprised with this fragrance. I read a lot of reviews saying this didn't last more than a 2 hours with little sillage but my skin seems to be taking this quite well. However, with that being said I did go a little heavy handed on the application and I was sure to apply moisturizer ahead of time to help with the lasting power. I'm about 6 hours in at this point and I can still smell this as strongly as I did when I first applied. This is a lovely floral fragrance, and I actually find it odd that I enjoy this fragrance as much as I do. I'm not typically in to florals, I prefer heavier more musky/seductive scents. When I wear this I feel like I'm walking through the most beautiful garden. It makes me feel like such a classy, sophisticated lady. Like a modern day Audrey Hepburn. I think this would make a beautiful wedding day scent for a spring or summer bride. Overall, I really like this fragrance. I'm not sure this is one I'll be reaching for too often or if I will repurchase, but I do like it for the days I'm feeling just a bit more girly. If you love florals I say give this one a try!

Nettare di Fiori does smell absolutely amazing! I found accidentally, a couple of weeks ago, two samples of this flanker from 2018 in my sample drawer and decided to try it. I didn’t expect to love it instantly but it smells truly intoxicating. Think about how gorgeous the original Bloom smells like, then add to that ginger, honeysuckle, rose, osmanthus and patchouli. You get a big, sweet, spicy, white floral with a musky/patchouli dry down. Original Bloom DNA but on steroids, more complex and nuanced. And more intense. Glorious perfume! And from what I can see online, discontinued perfume... I am, sadly, too late to get this one, but if you’re lucky to have it already in your possession or you can find it anywhere, give it a try. You must love loud, big, white florals perfumes and patchouli to enjoy Nettare di Fiori otherwise this isn’t for you!
