Gucci Bloom by Gucci

It’s a discreet yet elegant fragrance. I don’t believe in age-appropriate perfumes; I wear florals, gourmands, citrus, and alcohol-based scents alike. This one is refined, with good longevity and projection. It’s not a beast, but it certainly leaves a trail.

Gucci Bloom is a white floral in all its glory. I love white florals, but here the neroli feels sharp and very present, taking almost all the spotlight. It’s an intense, penetrating floral fragrance that, after a while, can be dizzying due to its heavy character. I don’t notice marked evolution: what appears at the start accompanies the entire duration, a dense, persistent floral accord with a vintage air. In style, it reminds me of Paula Alegría and the perfume by Gino Bogani available in Argentina, with that classic, powerful floral profile. Ideal for those who adore white florals; not very challenging if you prefer something more airy or nuanced.

Definitely floral, it’s not for me, it’s for my mother; yes, it has that ‘vintage’ aroma. It makes you want to return to the past but also see your ‘older self’. 100% feminine, even though I like unisex fragrances. It shows a warm maturity. It’s one of those that prepares you a hot chocolate and plays soft music.

I’m absolutely in love with this perfume! It’s very feminine and delicate, yet noticeable from afar (if you’re like me, who atomise myself to satiety); it has a subtle vintage touch that makes it elegant and refined. However, it’s a bright and cheerful fragrance, with floral notes so realistic that I feel like I’m in a garden surrounded by white flowers. The curious thing is the use of Piscuala (described here as Camellia of Rangoon), which adds a certain green sweetness, making this composition an ultra-realistic experience. If you don’t like florals, run; but if, like me, you are an admirer of classic floral odes, don’t miss this masterpiece by Morillas. 🤗

I tried it today in the perfumery, and although it smells good, it smells a bit like ‘mummy’ to me… I think if I had to choose a perfume, it wouldn’t be this one. I showed it to my boyfriend and he felt the same: correct but not exciting 😂 He gave it a 6.9.

I absolutely love it! It’s super feminine and elegant. A simple floral scent that doesn’t get tiring, plus people tell me I smell incredible.

I’ve never tried the perfume, but your opinion lacks weight. What about the old widow making soup in the summer? Or the cleaner with talcum powder? Is that the only resource when they don’t like it? Aren’t there other natural things to compare a perfume that is enjoyed? We should perhaps review our sources of inspiration.

My humble opinion: it gives the vibe of an old house belonging to a widow cooking soup in the middle of summer at 33 degrees, yet she washes her clothes religiously and, after showering with old-fashioned soap and talcum, puts on this perfume with a sharp tuberose that’s been in the cupboard for 10 years. I can’t take it anymore; I had expectations from the reviews but I can’t stand it. I had to wash my arm where I applied it, and it stayed there. One of the perfumes that disappointed me the most.

Not all white florals are to my taste, but those that do make a place in my heart. This Gucci Bloom is extreme simplicity and maximum elegance, jasmine and tuberose in a wave of purity. It’s intense but not invasive; its sobriety fascinates. Someone rightly said it smells like a funeral home, and indeed, it is an austere creation that emanates serenity… without kindness. It fluctuates between the classic and the modern, with a vintage soul from the 50s, the golden age of haute couture.

I’m reviewing Gucci Bloom again because I bought it and I’m loving it. It’s simple, mostly white flowers with a very realistic jasmine. It’s clean but elegant, makes a presence, and denotes distinction. It lasts between six and seven hours with medium-to-high projection; it envelops you in a cloud of persistent cleanliness. The presentation, with simple lines, I like very much, fitting that ‘less is more’ trend like Chanel or Narciso. It resembles others, yes and no. There are many like Bloom, but none stick to the memory like this creation by Alberto Morillas, which, as Angeles Parfum says, ‘smells like natural beauty’, refinement and class, something that isn’t sought after nor studied. Who is it for: lovers of the fleshy note of jasmine.

It reminds me of Luna Viva, a white floral with tuberose.

I am a lover of white flowers, jasmine, orange blossom and lilies, especially neroli, the most carnal of all. Here there are several, but the neroli screams without permission. Although it is called Bloom, there are no green or earthy touches; it is an inconsistency between concept and content, something Gucci often does. It smells more like a sexual potion than emerging flowers. It is a neroli-only scent with no evolution: it opens, develops and dies with them. The jasmine may be there, but the neroli swallows everything. Perhaps a distant lily, more an echo than a real flower. There is a sugary sweetness typical of neroli, with carnal tints. I am not surprised by sugar in florals, but I doubt the perfumers’ sanity. It is surprising that Morillas does this, so different from his usual citrus. It is not groundbreaking compared to thousands of better florals. If you want just neroli, it is fine, but the price is madness. Presentation: 4/10, the bottle does not justify the cost. Longevity: 3/10, it lasts as long as you paid for it. Sillage: 2/10, it explodes for five minutes after payment, then nothing. Originality: 2/10, it is just another neroli. Versatility: 6/10. Season: autumn to spring in the evening, avoid summer. Personal taste: 4/10. Would I buy it again?: no.

I admit I avoided trying it until now, testing several flankers first. But one day I sprayed it on my arm without much desire at the airport and I quite liked it. It is a bouquet of white flowers, very linear, with sweet and sticky tuberose and soft jasmine. The value for money could be better, as on my skin it did not last more than 6 hours with a projection of 2. It is purely floral and feminine, ideal for spring and any occasion. It does not excite me to buy it for myself, but I would like someone close to me to wear it so I can smell it from time to time. Pleasant: 7/10, Interesting: 7/10, Versatile: 5/10, Original: 4/10.

Gucci Bloom is a clean, soapy, elegant and classic white floral, with good performance and projection. It is formal and feminine, adding sobriety. The presentation is pretty, minimalist and good taste, although the price is high in Mexico. Although it is not spectacular, it is an essential classic. Spoiler: for catalogue users, the classic version of Mithyka by L’bel is a good approximation for a fraction of the cost with moderate performance. Ideal for jasmine lovers.

For me, a perfume for almost any occasion. I prefer sweet scents, but looking for something different I tried this. On the first spray I felt sweet and fresh, fresher than anything else. After half an hour, the neroli impregnated the skin with a soft but noticeable sillage, impossible to ignore. It lasted over 7 hours, with a fresh sillage that gradually yields to the velvety and fresh green of Rangoon’s Camilla. Every movement of the arm was like being in a spring flower field after a light rain. I fell in love without a doubt, for every day and almost any moment. I would use it at the beach or for dinner, seeking delicacy and freshness without losing presence.
