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.

this is such a gorgeous soapy fragrance! the initial spray is very, very clean. i get a lot of peony and lily of the valley, no grape unfortunately... (maybe that's where the crisp feeling comes from?) this slowly develops into a more musky, almost powdery fragrance. i think the incense note works incredibly in this fragrance, it's very similar to the incense used in hindu temples, so this very feels nostalgic to me. that combined with the rose note reminds me of a beloved auntie or neighbor. i'm not sure i'd go FB on this one quite yet, but i do love how unique this one is!

My best point of comparison: leatherless and soapier Peony and Suede by Jo Malone. It’s absolutely gorgeous, RDF has florals on lockdown, and ylang ylang and ambergris are terrific additions to this fragrance that make it stand apart. It brings a transformative and uplifting sweetness on drydown. I’m always leery of roses in profiles since they tend to drown out any other florals but RDF balances them masterfully with the peonies and lily of the valley. Stunning for S/S. FB worthy. My husband loves it on me.

My new signature scent!!! I’m going to be honest, at first sniff I thought it was beautiful but I eventually became addicted after multiple sampling sessions. To me, this is the most perfect sparkly clean fairy scent I’ve ever smelled. It’s a bubble bath with fresh peony petals floating on top with soap bubbles popping on the surface. It’s elegant, feminine, and fresh. It’s freezing outside yet I’ve been drawn to this fragrance more than anything else. Love love love!

I liked this so much that I bought a full bottle. It smells vastly different depending on the temperature, but I've worn it in different seasons now and it transforms beautifully. In cool weather it smells primarily of musk and sandalwood, with floral accents coming through. In the summer, it turns into fruity musk. I had some rosé while wearing it the other night, and since then the grape note has stood out to me. I love it even more now.

I was pretty against soapy scents for a while and I decided this was “soapy” before I gave it a real chance. I rediscovered it and that soapy quality was much less than I remembered. It’s mostly an extremely realistic peony scent with a beautiful sparkling grape note. It’s glassy, elegant, a little vintage. Reminds me of dew drops delicately laced across petals. One of the most ethereal scents I’ve ever come across

You’re rich, you’re beautiful, you’re sitting in a full bubble bath eating frozen grapes and drinking white wine. You have a sexy gardener who does your yardwork for you - because why wouldn’t you? Sometimes it smells a little bit like a baby wipe, but even the most luxurious and rich ladies sometimes gotta get crazy with a baby wipe.

Rosy red powdered cheeks, satin kitten heels, velvet bustiers, steamy baths in a clawfoot tub, pink petals floating in a teapot by her bedside. The scent of a woman who is regal, elegant, and dreamy to look at. When Sleeping Beauty finally awakes, this is how she smells. Her beauty is pure and timeless... she's a princess after all

Beautiful composition-- A couple of years ago I bought the sample pack first and this is the one I kept coming back to. I get clean gentle floral soft powdery notes that just work awesome with my chemistry. It's also very compatible with my other perfumes. Even the bottle is beautiful to look at-- -- Love, love, love-

Personally, I absolutely love it because I love this kind of scent; soapy, floral, soft musks and perfectly smooth in Spring/Summer...i love the fruity aspect of it too but on my skin, it’s a lot more floral than fruity... This isn’t for everyone and I highly recommend sampling it first....

My absolute favourite soapy floral for a warm day and best part is it works indoors and outside in the heat. About 5-6 sprays lasts 3-4 hours in my experience so it’s not a beast mode scent and I’m very ok with that. It definitely has a place in my collection and the name is so apt!

my signature scent and my first full-sized bottle! i love this perfume so so much, it sprays on like a grape juice sort of rose, then dries down to a soapy musk. literally smells like a princess' bubble bath, also this layers beautifully with glossier you fleur

Delicate, sheer, peak romance. Brings to mind a beautiful translucent white grape jelly adorned with flower petals, and white swans gliding peacefully together across a lake. I have finally found an extra special fragrance to wear to my wedding in March! 🦢🦢

This is not a beast-mode perfume, very fairy-like, floral. On my skin, this perfume can last for 3-5 hours, even indoors or outdoors in warm weather. I sometimes enjoy the fragrance, feeling like walking in a garden in spring time with a lot of flowers.

a beautiful and refined soapy floral. delicately luminescent and slightly fruity sweet while being gentle to the nose. beautiful, clean, and dreamy, makes me want to wear all white and take a nap in the sun.

A light floral sweet scent , wish it had some clove and spice in it n better longevity for the price. It doesnt last long though, i chose it from a perfume subscription.
