Aqua Allegoria Florabloom

(Here are some scents I love so you can tell if we share similar tastes which I feel affect a review so much; Valentino Donna Born in Roma Intense, Aquatic Vanilla Dossier, Floral Marshmallow Dossier, CH Good Girl Blush, Fame Women Paco Rabanne, Burberry Her Intense, Alien Goddess Mugler, Soleil Blanc TF, Lost Cherry TF, Mod Vanilla Ariana Grande, CK One/Be) This is a FANTASTIC scent. I love violet so much, especially when it is so well done such as in this fragrance. It's powdery, however not overly so, and has a sweet facet due to the tuberose I can't get enough of. If I had to choose, the opening is my least favorite because of the lime, but the drydown is just so so lovely! To me this also smells sorta nutty, like a walnut. The sandalwood is to me what makes this scent so much more sophisticated than say Paco Rabanne's Fame (women's). The mango is 100% there in the beginning, however it takes a back seat the more this perfume dries down. The coconut is also there, and it's the kind I love which is more nutty as opposed to green. I have a sample of the Forte version, however got this as a gift and I have to admit I think I like this one a bit more. The forte version is slightly more mango forward, and definitely less nutty, but it is also creamier. A love at first sniff, perfect for summer.

The coconut drydown has an addictive butteriness. Florabloom opens with fruity florals. I can't pick out specific fruit or flowers but it is bright and pretty, slightly creamy. The top notes disperse quickly and what is left is an odd, salty and musky base. It is odd, almost plasticky, somewhat sunscreen like, and I believe it may be whatever is used to create the coconut. The synthetic aquatic salt coconut becomes prominent, like a creamy coconut conditioner, still a little sweet and a little floral. Thankfully, the salt fades significantly becoming a background facet of the coconut. (Salt notes turn my stomach, but I don't mind it here at all, it actually adds substance to the fragrance.) Florabloom was a mild, appreciative 'like' that turned into a love. I became so enamored with the coconut that I bought a bottle. This is not loud, but the scent will stay for hours and hours on skin and days on clothes or hair.

I don’t usually gravitate towards scents that have Flowers/florals in the name, because flowers just don’t sound that appealing to me. But I got a free sample of this, and it blew my mind immediately. If the longevity proves to be decent, I will buy a full bottle of this ASAP. It reminds me a little bit of D&G dolce garden, which is another one that gives floral vibes, but is actually very sweet and coconut forward. I think it’s the coconut in both that calls my name. This one is very creamy and polite and sooo pleasant. I get a whiff of sunscreen, powder and coconut, but some flowers too... It’s a little odd choice for autumn, this would absolutely rock in the summer, but I think I need this right away in m collection.

It's floral, it's fruity, it's zingy, it's happy and carefree. Use it heavily, often, and don't expect to keep it for five years. When it's gone, it's gone, and we move on to the next. These are the kind of notes that turn fast and it would be a pity not to use it if you have it. Because of this feeling of lightheartedness, of happiness, it's great on sunshine days, applied right when coming out of the shower. It's not meany to be seductive or for a party night, it's meant to help you hum on the way to work or for that ice cream with the girls.

omg I love this!!!! this is a perfect combo of tropical fruits with different kind of florals smells like an everyday easy reach fragrance! I bought the forte version first but found a bit too intense for hot weather but the edt is so perfect, not as muksy as the forte version, the forte version do smell stronger (you have to spray less as well) while the edt is so much better imo! a love for me. The tuberose is also much stronger here while the mango in the forte version is much more heavier on my skin~ I got 3 compliments from my colleagues~

Hyper-femme, sweet, floral explosion that reminds me so much of early 2000s Barbie movies for some reason. Almost purchased, but apparently either Tuberose, or something in the top notes, doesn't sit well on my skin. 3 I sprayed this perfume on the back of my left hand at around 1pm, and kept getting strong whiffs of it until I fell asleep around 11pm... and that's with washing my hands 3 times. The dry-down is lovely, and does actually melt into my skin really well, so I might still end up buying it some day anyways c:

I had to ask my colleague what she was wearing as I really liked how it smelled on her. Then I tested myself on my skin. For me, this is creamy and clean scent with somewhere between floral and fruity/slight pleasant sourness. Although the scent profile is quite different, it reminds me of Blanche Bete. I don't think I would have chosen this by reading the notes listed. I never guessed mango, for example. But I love this feminine clean profile with a little bit of sourness. Very positive surprise find!

This one smells exactly like NR Ambrée on my skin. Not really aquatic, but thick and creamy, as someone else already said. I love Ambrée since it smells tropical and is ideal for summer and this is not different. Nice, creamy summery scent, which can actually be easily worn all year round. I wonder why no one mentioned Ambrée before as its almost the same scent... Longevity is good and people around me picked up the scent from a distance so the projection is amazing. 9/10

To me, this one and the forte version also smells kind of perfume-y, but not in a bad way actually. They are such nice, feminine scents. I tried the forte one first and I loved it, but then I got a sample of this one and I might love this even more. This is maybe a bit fresher, cleaner, less artificial. Longevity is also pretty good.

I’m obsessed with this, it is so fruity and tropical and perfect for summer. It’s so hard to find a tropical fruity fragrance that doesn’t smell cheap but this is the perfect one!! For an eau de toilette the lasting power is insane and I can smell it for hours.

This is a gorgeous coconut and flower blend. I get mainly coconut from this, with a powdery iris and flowers somewhere in the background. I don’t get any tuberose AT ALL. It melts into a soft musk and stays close to the skin after a few hours.

It looks boring but I like this kind of scent ahhaha

Anyone else smell twilight woods in this?!?

This is somewhat different from the entire auqa allegoria family. It's heavier, thicker and more creamy. It is definitely a summer scent. The coconut note is very prominent so if you don't like it, don't hope that you won't feel it. I cannot get any citrus vibes there unless I smell the acutator. But once sprayed, this tiny citrus hint is gone. As a loyal fan and collector of iris scents, I can say Florabloom isn't in it for the iris. Neither do I pick up violet but I allow the thought that it is so deeply blended in and hidded begind the tuberose and coconut. It resembles coconut-shea butter body scrub quite a lot. I do pick up some mango which adds this tropical touch to it. Overall it is very girly, romantic and summer beachy. Not a serious scent, not for official engagements or office. It is also a scent oriented at a younger crowd. To my taste, it is a little generic and resembles body care products a little too much. I would want to smell like perfume, and not a body cream/scrub. It is an intimate scent, there is no projection, but to be fair aqua allegoria isn't known for the beast mode performance anyway. So nothing new here. If you are going to Cuba for your next summer holiday with the girls, Florabloom could make a good companion. That's all I can see this being used for.

The Aqua Allegorias aren't sophisticated, but they're always beautifully realistic (as such I like to enjoy them as scents rather than perfumes). This one smells exactly like those elegant chinese-taiwanese summer desserts: fresh mangos with coconut milk, pearls, jelly. So that gives me joy. Despite the mango-coconut pairing, the scent doesn't turn into some dessert-ish fruity gourmand since much of the creaminess comes from that beautiful bouquet of powdery flowers. I appear to lack the finesse to discern each individual flower, even the rose, which is rare for me, so that part intrigues me, my nose isn't too bored. And there's also a sort of refreshing, watery, watermelon scent impression I can't shake. If this were a musical piece, it would end on fresh, upswinging notes. Just like all her other sisters, Florabloom has two faces, no more, no less. And yes, her opening is beautiful, but... her maturation cloying. On second thought, maybe she's not so realistic as I thought, since I could never get sick of *real* summer mango treats...

I loved the Forte version of this. I got compliments when I wear it. But the weather is now getting warmer and I found it too strong and sticky, and probably not very office friendly anymore. So I wanted to try this EDT. Initial spray around my neck brought definitely the same joy and vibe as the Forte version. However it is more citrusy and fresh. It is very likeable for sure. Then I thought to spray it on my wrist to be able to appreciate its transition better and easier. That is when the BUT cut in for me... It is much less sophisticated than the Forte one. I found it even kind of boring and similar to a lot of cheaper brands... when the initial citrusy floral freshness gone, the soapy smell is definitely rushing up. It took a little time to dry down to a sweet coconut candy like base, which is again pleasant and Geurlain like to me. Overall, I still like it, just less sophisticated and more bubbly than the Forte.

It is quite nice. To me, it is similar to Coconut Fizz (which I have). It is basically a bit more floral (tuberose) version of Coconut Fizz. I do not smell the mango, which is a pity since I was hoping for it. If you have Coconut Fizz, I think you don't need this, and if you are amongst those who mourn the discontinued Coconut Fizz, you can definitely find a nice replacement in Florabloom.

This is a good perfume, but I feel like it's kind of a mess of floral and creamy smells put together, which, to me, is a slight bit too cloying to my nose. Guerlain perfumes are high quality, but I would say this perfume isn't as good as their other fresh line-ups.

I really like this one! It's fresh and coconutty and flowery. It's like a better version of dolce garden and coconut fizz. I feel like this one is more creamy coconut rather than coconut fizz. Nice and fresh ❤️

My SA sent me samples of both EDT and EDP, I like both but prefer EDT little better. I don’t think they smell similar and wish they were stronger Very light and don’t last, they will be appropriate for summer.
