Flowerbomb Bloom

It finally came today all the way from France ! I have only had it on for a couple of hours so will go back and correct or add. It's fresh and sweet to my nose and is related to the original but since the original is all about patchouli and orchid / vanilla and tea , this one is on the other end of the scale ,more fresh and fruity , no patchouli but hints of it are there I assume because of the wood might be from that family ,I smell mint somewhere , the sweet bitterness of pomegranate and the sweet fresh mandarins( looove the mandarines in here ) . It gets more floral in the middle but still has the same fresh fruity vibe , the mountain air aura it creates is the fresh part and is almost a little cold , I have smelled it before in Creed silver mountain , this one being much more feminine and sweet and not as natural as silver mountain. Really not at all alike except for that particular freshness gives it some relation that made me think of it. You definitely can smell that it's a sister of the flowerbomb family , and I find it very pleasant. Thinking of those candies that come in tins , from Europe , the Mandarine ones that have a coating of white powder sugar around them. They also have a slight mint feel to them and give you cold / sweet /fresh breath. They come in different fruit flavoures. This one I am thinking of is the Mandarine one. Do not expect the full bodied sexy vibe the original gives you. This is more like the edt and summer versions as far as staying power and thinness goes

I received this as a sample from a Sephora order and was already familiar with the original and its myriad sisters like juicy couture etc. This white florals, fruit, sweet genre is so prevalent these days that I don't feel like I need to purchase them as it's is so similar and ubiquitous and also I sometimes find some of the white flowers and generic fruit almost verging on allergy inducing. For Bloom, the pomegranate is both sour and astringent and tannic, so instead of lusher more juicy sweeter fruit the first notes are tart and kind of mouth puckering which I found interesting but was not that impressed with. Then I ignored it and two hours later I smelled a gorgeous airy, refined sweet cotton candy note and was quite pleasantly surprised and then somewhat obsessed with. The sweet note is very close to the skin and it smelled like the cold mountain air note kind of moderated the sweet notes to make it kind of less solid and more like sweet air molecules. I was so fascinated by this feature that I bought the largest size as it is exclusive to Sephora in US and also limited edition so per oz it's much cheaper than smaller bottle. I much prefer this to the original which is well made but common due to so many copies so common and not memorable or distinctive. The bottle is so pretty and feels well in my hands and also the pale pink liquid is lovely.

A tester for this perfume arrived today and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I really enjoy this scent. The original Flowerbomb is a little too much for my tastes, so I thought that I would give the Bloom flanker a go in search of something lighter. Bloom is just that: a lighter, fresher, airier version with a lovely sweetness. On my skin the florals really stand out especially with the rose (sweet, almost syruped rose, not fresh-cut), and the fruitiness of the pomegranate and mandarin. As the perfume dries down, the fruitiness still lingers strongly and a very slight woodiness arises, with a slightly more prominent vanilla - at least to my nose. The perfume lasted about 6 hours with a decent sillage from one single spray of my tester bottle (about a quarter of the 1 ml tester.) I asked my boyfriend what he thought of this scent and he said he really liked it, as opposed to a lot of florals that he finds overpowering. Highly recommend this fragrance to anyone who would like a sweeter, fresher, lighter version of Flowerbomb with less patchouli. It feels very young, pretty, and fun to me.

Beautiful fruity floral, resembling the original but much less sweet and with a sparkling quality. There is a tangy aspect that goes away quite fast. You can still smell the original flower bomb lost somewhere in a refreshing breeze of springtime. I personally love it. The silage seems ok in the beginning but it mellows down very fast, the lasting power is average or below that . It is a pricey edt so I expected more strength. The bottle is pretty, like an elongated Flowerbomb. Be warned! The moment I took mine out of the box the little black flower sticking out broke in my hand ! If you like that, be super careful as it is extremely fragile. Overall a lovely scent, it cheers me up now in the winter and I have to say I love it even though I am slightly disappointed with its strength. Pretty, youthful and elegant.

Just received it in my mail :D Cute bottle. 1st impression - The opening is fresh and fruity. Yes I feel the pomegranate and orange. After a few minutes I only smell spicy woods. It doesn't have anything about the original flowerbomb in my opinion. I actually think its quite masculine because the dominant scent is the wood. Not a "wow" for me. But I do like it. It's a simple fragrance, a tiny bit fruity and lots of sharp woods, it's quite elegant, inoffensive. Good for spring and summer, great for daily wear, for work. I believe the longevity is good but the sillage is moderate to poor. Ps: I don't smell any rose. 30min later...the spicy woods are getting softer, I feel some floral notes now, at this point it is much more feminine and gentle. I do really like it, It is "blooming" on me :D
