Sublime Blossom

I first encountered this fragrance last summer, when I was actually looking for a gardenia fragrance in a small perfume store in my home town The Hague (and bought the beautiful "Un Matin d'Orage" by Annick Goutal). Because I loved UMdO, the store owner brought Sublime Blossom to my attention. I really liked it but I had spent my money on UMdO and so I forgot about it. Recently, I found the sample she gave me in a drawer, and decided to try it again. It is amazing! The opening is very sharp, a blast of citrus and freesia, but then it's all creamy white and yellow flowers, not harsh and in your face but very natural and almost green, as if you were walking through a flower garden after the rain. There's enough soft wood to balance the flowers. It is very versatile: it will get you through a busy work day but is also suitable for going out or just a relaxing day at home. Another pearl from Miller Harris, which has turned into my favourite house by now. I just ordered a whole bottle and will be using it a lot while impatiently waiting for spring.

Straight from the first spray this perfume is indeed sublime. It's beautiful and multi-faceted. I'm absolutely loving the combinations of wonderful flowers such as jasmine, ylang ylang, orange blossom and honey suckle. While at the same time giving off this earthly base from sandalwood and musk, and slight citrus vibe. It is so soft and sweet in its flowery way, all though it doesn't really stand out. All the ingredients seem to mix so wonderfully quite like a bouqet, that there isn't a particular adventurous note that catches the attention. I don't require it to do that, because it's beauty comes from the soft combination. Edit: funny thing is after using it for a while and switching back and forth with other scents, this one is very clearly bergamot on opening. I did not get that when I first started using it. Nothing wrong with it either, it's a bit more zingy, which gives it a bit of an elegent little kick instead of just being a sweet bouqet.

Yellow. Spring time. Sunshine. I’m not a screechy, blousy, floral fan, but this is a smile in a bottle. Citrus & snapped sappy flower stem opener. A touch of fizzy refreshers. Freesia & orange blossom blooms. Warms up from the cool start to gift you a dreamy creamy ylang-sandalwood dry down. Hangs around well & leaves a good tail. If you like tart, yellow florals with a green edge & a creamy base it’s a safe blind buy. Not my usual niche but an enjoyable deviation from the incense & flames I normally dabble in.

Wow, she just arrived. I was taken back. I was expecting a nice ordinary floral for spring. Gee's I've never smelt a floral-like her. Sweet , beautiful unusual scent. Reminds of Sunflowers. If you fancy a different kind of floral please try it. TK Maxx are selling it at the moment at a very good price.

A fresh citrus scent. But with white flowers in the mix. Light fresh Spring/Summer scent. Pleasant, soft and comforting. Whilst also having a bit of sparkle. a fresh bouquet. I like ❤️
