Gucci Bloom Profumo Di Fiori by Gucci

Featured review The most detailed of the latest reviews.

I have a special affection for the ylang-ylang note because my mom used to use makeup powders that smelled exactly like these flowers.

Later, she bought the essential oil and used it for everything: in the diffuser, sprayed on furniture, as massage oil. This Gucci flanker reminds me so much of my mom because of that pronounced ylang-ylang note. In Profumo di Fiori, the flower is very sweet, a bit ambered. Of course, the tuberose is undeniable. They are equally sweet and sticky, but much greener than those in My Way or L’Interdit. I was surprised by how different this tuberose note is from the one in Acqua di Fiori, which is my favorite in the line. They have that same fleshy texture as in My Way, but they feel much more natural, as if you were smelling them directly from the bush. On the skin, I feel this perfume is quite powdery too. The lily root is very noticeable to my nose, and I think that’s why it reminds me so much of my mom’s makeup smell. In fact, a Mexican makeup brand (Teia Cosmetics) adds ylang-ylang scent to their products, which reinforces for me that marked makeup smell I feel. I really like this perfume. Maybe it’s a bit too sweet for extreme heat days, but for me, it’s a cheerful perfume, yellow like its bottle, totally daytime, and of impressive quality. I really seem to smell the perfume of the flowers it contains. It doesn’t last long, like all the Blooms. This one averages about 6 hours on skin, a bit more on clothes. However, its scent is so lovely that I wouldn’t mind reapplying or just using it as is, enjoying its sparkling life until it disappears with the last rays of the sun.
