Smoked Bloom

I purchased a sample of this fragrance directly from the house and was genuinely impressed by the thoughtful presentation. The samples arrived carefully packaged, complete with a handwritten note from the creator and individual scent cards for each fragrance—a true testament to their attention to detail. The name Smoked Bloom might be a bit misleading, as there's no discernible tobacco or smoky note listed or detected. Instead, it wears beautifully with a fresh blend of green woody branches, apricot, and orange. It reminds me of picking an orange straight from the tree, with the green, earthy scent of the broken branch mingling with the fruit's bright aroma. A subtle creaminess balances the sharpness of the bergamot, creating a well-rounded composition. A truly beautiful fragrance. While it shares similarities with Lucky Days from the same house, this fragrance leans creamier and slightly woodier, whereas Lucky Days highlights more orange blossom and a crisp, sharp edge.

I'm obsessed with this fragrance. I was nervous because of the name that it would be too smoky, like cigarettes or barbecues. It's not that at all. It's smoky in a super interesting way, like a deep and gentle earthiness to the floral/fruity notes. It smells like the smoothest remnants of smoke in a glass chamber, a smoke that doesn't remind you of any memories associated with smoke but is still identifiable as smoke. Honestly I don't know how to describe it. And aside from the smoke, is just the most beautiful, to-die-for, osmanthus note. I am always looking for more osmanthus perfumes because I just love the note, and this one does not disappoint. The smokiness just enhances the natural smoky tendency of an indolic flower petal, along with sweetness, freshness, apricoty-ness, and pure spring happiness. As I wear it, I don't perceive the notes individually, just a perfect osmanthus with all its juxtaposed facets. I believe I will need a bottle.

This would be an easy top 5 perfume for me if it had just slightly more sillage after it settles. I still really enjoy the perfume, though, so it still gets love from me. Smoked Bloom reminds me of the woods in spring after a rain. Locals burning their brush piles in the distance while the orchards and native trees blossom. The perfect ratio of smoke to sweet to floral. I like my scents smoky so I can see some finding it a little off-putting — as someone who grew up in the country, I find it very comforting. It gives a complexity that feels earthy or mossy. However, the smoke hides in the dry down as the sweet fruit and floral come out so definitely give it a try if you’re on the fence. It personally evolves very nicely on my skin.

ermm yea..im thinking this is the one. im thinking abt it all the time. i have the whole sample set, ive been trying different ones on over a few weeks, i keep coming back to smoked bloom. when i'm not wearing her i'm thinking 'i wonder how smoked bloom is doing', 'dang i wish she were with me right now'. i'm surprised i like it as much as i do. i'm surprised at how many people don't like it? i don't know. it doesnt really smell too fruity to me honestly, im getting some kind of floral. i like the smokiness, i like that it's not too harsh, but i like that it's there when i smell myself. i'm always smelling myself with this on. i feel like this was what was missing from sex and jasmine. i give this a certified yummers

Smoked Bloom is so gorgeously balanced. It is fresh and grounded with an airy mineral quality. I love the slightest hint of apricot and the taste of savory bay. The blend is nuanced and beautiful, with high quality ingredients. It wasn’t one of the first I tried because I generally don’t like smoke, but the “smoke’ in this to me is actually more like volcanic ash- mineral and fertile- paused and waiting to sprout new life. It reminds me of alpine wildflowers on a spring hike. I purchased both the fragrance oil and the EDP and love them both.
