Mon Guerlain Bloom of Rose

I was very excited when Mon Guerlain was introduced. I went to the store on the day it was released, but my hope turned out to be a big disappointment. It was very heavy and cloying to my nose. I could not get along very well with its sisters either. But Bloom of Rose is totally another story. It starts with fresh, sweet citrus, then flowers start to bloom. I can not identify these flowers very well but I can say that it's not a rose centered fragrance. It smells very pure and clean, but not like a typical citrus perfume. It also has a floral sweetness unlike sugary, gourmand sweet. On the middle phases, lavender becomes more prominent. On drydown, it's what I wanted Mon Guerlain to be; slightly vanillic lavender. I think this will be a crowd-pleaser but not in a boring way. I may use it as a daily, office friendly fragrance and keep on wearing in the evening. Very versatile, gives a positive feeling. I'm happy not to overlook this perfume because of my previous experience with the mother scent. This may be a perfect choice for spring & summer and a mood lifter for autumn & winter. Update: On my second trial, I was sure that I loved it very much and I bought it. After a very rainy and cold winter, now the sun shines and the trees are getting ready to bloom. Hope of spring is everywhere. Bloom of Rose fits these days very well.

You will love this - if - you find the original MG is too much vanilla and lavender for warm weather - but you still crave that quality Guerlain DNA for the summer. The neroli flower in this EDT a stand out and the scent is a true crowd pleaser. This is a summer fragrance that earns me the most compliments. True, the longevity is only a couple of hours, but if respray is no problem, it is well worth the effort. It does last longer on clothing, so I do make sure my clothing is carrying the scent as well. I love all Guerlain, but in the heat, I imagine the rich vanilla of MG actually curdling and the lavender being just too heavy for summer days. In contrast, this toilette sits fresh and pretty on warm skin and I find myself breathing in the flower accord & very soft vanilla and sandalwood. Truly beautiful in my opinion. Nothing generic or cheap here. Still Guerlain quality, but in a soft way. I have just ordered my second backup bottle. **Different from Bloom of Rose EDP which is heavier and does have a true rose scent and longer longevity. This EDT is lighter and mostly a beautiful neroli/jasmine flower.

I have Mon Guerlain EDT on one wrist and Mon Guerlain Bloom of Rose EDT on the other. The EDT is very similar to the original Mon Guerlain EDP, just a bit lighter with a bit less going on in the base notes. Bloom of Rose is different. There is still the signature Mon Guerlain scent underneath, but it does not play a starring role. The stars of this fragrance are citrus, neroli and rose. I have to really try hard to smell the rose, as it seems to blend in very well with the rest of the notes. But the overall impression that the citrus, neroli and rose create is one of class and elegance. This fragrance is more office friendly than the original EDP and EDT, however, it is never boring. It is unmistakably Guerlain in quality and depth. The more I smell it the more I enjoy this fragrance. I received this as a gift a few days ago and it is already becoming one of my favourites! And it is very versatile and would suit a variety of occasions and locations. Because it is lighter, it will do well in the spring and summer. Well done Guerlain!

Wow, this is GORGEOUS! I love the original and the Florale, but this is so incredibly pretty - I have the Florale on one arm and a sample of Bloom of Rose on the other at the moment, and while they both share the same fresh-vanilla combination, Florale (as the name suggests) leans more floral but is still more suited to warm or cool days due to the sweet and more intense vanilla it shares with the original Mon Guerlain, while Bloom of Rose is perfect for truly hot weather since it has a creamier and softer vanilla undertone that is outshined by a pure, bright medley of notes that are so well-blended that I can hardly pick them apart. The citrus here is very inoffensive though, clean and sweet (nothing like Light Blue, for example), while the rose is definitely there but so well blended with the vanilla in the background that you might miss it if you aren't consciously looking for it. I can smell the neroli and it adds a very delicate, bridal-like finish to this beautiful fragrance. I LOVE it, well done Guerlain!

Hello from Decodawn to my fellow fragrance fans.This is my review of Guerlain 'Bloom of Rose'. Firstly may I just say I think this fragrance is gorgeous. It's Perfect for Spring/Summer & warmer weather & holidays.This is obviously related to the original Mon Guerlain but a Lighter, cleaner, airy, fresh, opening and its 'eau de toilette' so a thinner fragrance. However, the dry down is excellent & is very reminiscent of florale & MG original and a typical Guerlain. The fragrance is very long lasting. Beautiful bottle. I own 4 so far. Mon Guerlain, Florale, Intense and Bloom of Rose and I will be buying MG edt as it is now discontinued. I love this range Mon Guerlain has been a huge success If you prefer lighter floral romantic fragrances you will love this. If you prefer a more robust fragrance I would suggest the original which is still very strong or the intense. Don't just try it buy it. Lots of current offers on ebay. It's a big thumbs up from me. Stay safe everyone. Love Dawn x April 2020
