Gucci Bloom by Gucci

Gucci Bloom was the first ‘good’ perfume I bought at 17, so I have a soft spot for it. Although I don’t wear it anymore because I feel it doesn’t suit me now, I wore it almost daily for years. It doesn’t just smell like white flowers; it smells clean, delicate, and refined. It’s perfect for work or class to make a good impression without overwhelming anyone with a sensitive nose. So if you like it, don’t hesitate because it smells like ‘old lady’. Think about it: not long ago, there was a 17-year-old kid bathing in it to go to high school and ace math. 😆

Chocolate with liquor: I don’t know what you call ‘very adult lady’ or how old you are. But there’s one thing clear: you’re going to become a very ADULT person (old, that’s what you meant) and then we’ll see what the rest of you has to say. Everyone likes one, two, three, or twenty perfumes; that’s not defined by age. I know very old people who wear the latest trends. Just for your info!

I’m absolutely in love with this perfume! It’s very feminine and delicate, yet noticeable from afar (if you’re like me, I overspray until I’m satisfied); 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 they make me feel like I’m in a garden surrounded by white flowers. What’s curious is the use of Piscuala (described here as Camilla de Rangoon), which adds a certain green sweetness, making this composition an ultra-realistic experience. If you don’t like florals, run; but if you’re like me and love the classic odes to flowers, don’t miss this masterpiece by Morillas. 🤗

I have to say, I didn’t expect to see so few olfactory notes in this perfume, are they really that few? I make perfumes as a hobby and the simplest one has six notes. Aside from that, I was surprised, especially seeing how it’s a simple fragrance (which I perceived as more complex); it smells really good. The girl wearing it described it in a way I completely agree with: ‘it smells like a princess.’ It’s a soft but perceptible blend that radiates sweetness, some elegance, and ‘cleanliness,’ a certain innocence, and vintage reminiscences. I associate it with a quiet morning or afternoon, a stroll through a garden, or having hot chocolate with friends. Of course, it has its touch of sensuality, but without pretension; rather, it inspires serenity, elegance, and a very, very lovely scent. It’s incredible that the perfumer hit the mark with so few notes.

I like it! It has good longevity and smells identical to those little rosebuds sold on Mother’s Day, I think they’re gardenias, though I’m not sure, but even if it doesn’t have gardenia, it smells like those flowers that are like little roses. I understand those who say it smells like an old lady, and it is a very classic, simple, and grandma-like scent xD. I use it in moderation because it can smell like a mature woman, but the aroma is very rich.

I’ve never tried the perfume, but your opinion carries no weight. What’s with the old widow making soup in the summer? Or the cleaner with powder? Is that the only resource when they don’t like it? Aren’t there other natural things to compare a perfume that is pleasant? We should rethink our sources of inspiration.

I think I’ve never enjoyed white flowers so much. A clean, serene, and noble scent; like a garden in the rain or peace in a forest. And those fleshy neroli, so sensual. A poem made into perfume.

My humble opinion: it gives off the vibe of an old house of a widow cooking soup in the middle of summer at 33 degrees, but washing clothes religiously and, after showering with outdated soap and powder, putting on this perfume with a sharp neroli that’s been in the closet 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 most disappointing perfumes.

Not all white florals are my cup of tea, but the ones that do make a home 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 aptly said it smells like a funeral home, and it is an austere creation that emanates serenity… without kindness. It fluctuates between classic and modern, with a vintage soul from the 50s, the golden age of haute couture.

It reminds me of Luna Viva white floral and neroli.

It’s linear, classic, and summery, with no surprises. Nard dominates from the start, then honeysuckle wraps around it, with green notes giving the sensation of a freshly watered flower. I find it hard not to like it; it’s a simple, subtle floral that leaves a feeling of being freshly bathed all day.

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

Gucci Bloom is a clean, soapy, elegant, and classic white floral with good performance and projection. It’s formal and feminine, adding sobriety. The presentation is pretty, minimalist, and tasteful, although the price is high in Mexico. Although it’s not spectacular, it’s an essential classic. Spoiler: for catalog 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.

So simple and beautiful. That nard and jasmine stick well to clothes for the long haul and have good sillage. It’s like walking through a garden, versatile and affordable.

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 nards soaked into the skin with a soft but noticeable sillage, impossible to ignore. It lasted over 7 hours, with a fresh sillage that gradually gave way to the velvety, fresh green of Rangoon’s Camilla. Every arm movement felt like being in a spring flower field after a light rain. I fell in love without a doubt, for every day and almost every moment. I’d wear it at the beach or dinner, seeking delicacy and freshness without losing presence.
