Glass Blooms

Giddy. Sweet. Hyperfemme. Regime des Fleurs seems to excel at these floral gummy scents, and I think Glass Blooms is the crown jewel of such. A princess perfume if I’ve ever smelled one. It’s the candied Victoria’s Secret body spray of your youth, but matured and moneyed, now anointing the likes of prima ballerinas. Glass Blooms is the sort of scent I’d ordinarily hate: a syrupy falsetto with angel wings. And we did start off on the wrong foot, as it opens with this synthetic bubble bath cloud. However, after a few minutes it loosens into something muskier, sipping fizzy Riesling instead of pure Ramune. Don’t hate her just because she’s pretty. I wish I could be more of a Glass Blooms girl (air sign, Baby Spice, dressage), but I think I'm far more Nitesurf Neroli (fire sign, Sporty Spice, Western). Mental Snapshot: Lavender gummy jewel. Girls' girl. Pearl tiaras, canopy beds, lock-and-key diaries. Such a horse girl she’s pure unicorn. She 100% wore faerie wings to school. Olympic medalist figure skater. She spritzes this and sparks a Sailor Moon transformation sequence. Tl;dr: seraphim’s shampoo 🫧🥂 Update: I couldn't stop wafting my empty tester vial so I sprung for the bottle. Still in love. The white grape + peony is *muah*

musky, soapy, sheer. It smells like the moment you pop a big soap bubble that's been floating lazily through the air and it shimmers for a brief instant in a thousand tiny droplets before disappearing forever. soft haze of greyish-pink muskiness that floats above my wrists and elbows, florals discernible only if I press my nose to my wrist (I find myself doing this often; it's faint, but I want to smell it all the time). Feels like bathing naked in a misty mountain waterfall growing all round with peonies and water lilies, and afterwards lying on cool stone and half-dreaming, half-cloud watching: soft, cotton candy clouds rolling gently with the breeze. Just a sheer sweetness from the grape; not strong or artificial. I always peeled my grapes when I was little, saving the best for last: jewel-like orbs with a translucent, glassy, dewy surface, crystalline in their clarity. Beautiful, delicate. To be worn with a whisper-thin chiton as in Godward's paintings. color hex code #e1d5e6

Glass Blooms completely won me over... annoyingly so, because I loved it enough to buy a bottle for myself. Is it objectively worth the price? Probably not... but there’s something undeniably addictive about it that makes logic feel irrelevant. RDF truly excels at florals, and this fragrance is a perfect example of that talent. While I adore Little Flower, Glass Blooms edges ahead for me thanks to its softer, more powdery character. It feels airy, delicate, and quietly captivating. Tragic twist: Little Flower apparently considers my nose its mortal enemy and sends me into full theatrical sneezing mode.

I love this one. I was married wearing Chanel no. 22. And, while very different, this is giving those same innocent bridal vibes. Soft, soapy clean and demure with prominent Lily of the valley.. White..if this perfume was a colour it would definitely be white. The performance is ok..not spectacular. But sometimes, you just don't care. This line is rather pricey but I will definitely be adding this to my rather large collection. This is lily of the valley done right. Not at all headache inducing as some Lily scents can be. I have Penhaligon's Lily of the Valley..this blend is MUCH nicer.

This fragrance surely is as delicate as it's name suggests. Sampling (2ml) this fragrance has taken place between showering and snuggling into crisp, clean sheets. A sweet, calming, and fleeting (*weirdly charming for this scent*) floral musk. It brings images of soft powder, and gentle bubbles in a candlelit bath. This has been more of a ritual experience for me. I am savoring my sample. I am not sure if I will eventually justify a full bottle, seeing as it is such a gentle fragrance that I would use before bed. If money were no object, she would proudly sit on my nightstand.
