Bold Blossom

I’m not sure what this is a dupe for but by itself I am in LOVE. Floral but not in a too youthful cheap way, the base notes seem to hold down the floral to more subtle levels. It does start off more bold 🤓 but I find it very relaxed and wearable yet still distinct from other floral scents I own. The dry down actually stay fairly similar just loses the bold, and moves into softer waves where the hint of fruit comes through. But never too strong or harsh. Hours later I get something akin to Lily of the Valley not sure what notes turned that way. Still a very pleasant mid weight scent through all the dry downs. I wore this outside in Florida all day and can still smell some on me, so impressed with the longevity. Stayed better on clothes than skin but to be expected in hot and humid. Not your typical floral, the base keeps it grounded even though I couldn’t really smell those notes separately. Love the mellow effect they give. This is a favorite.

Seeing the reviews and reading the comments I did not even want to test it in the store. But! I did - and bought it immidiately. This perfume goes in the direction of Gres Fruit de la creativity, but sweeter, brighter, more positive and uplifted. It's like a dark rose-based drink with bubbles. This fizziness mesmerizes me. At home I tested with Gres side-by-side - not dupes at all, but the same ingredients played very differently, with different outcome. Gres dark and serious, Bold Blossom sweet and playful. I like it. It will be even better in cold weather

The notes had me instantly curious about this one. Rose, Patchouli, Raspberry.... i thought okay maybe it smells like POAL. Not even close. I was very disappointed because i can’t smell any of the notes. It’s super light and airy for a parfum that claims to have all these heavy hitter notes.. smells very 90s yves rocher, clinique. it doesn’t smell bad, just not what i expected.

Comparing Bold Blossom and Nobody knows I realised that they share this fuzziness! But NK much brighter and fresher, Cassis stands out, and BB calmer darker, rosier. Not dupes at all, even though I see where people come from with this comparison

This is lovely! Nice longevity, you can barely detect the rose note- makes you feel fresh and spicy. Totally wearable during the day and for date night.
