A beachy, sweet sunscreen-like fragrance, based on the notes of only three white flowers: tuberose, jasmine, and honeysuckle. The notes were tempting - could it recapture the scent of natural blooming jasmine and honeysuckle flowers on a warm summers evening? Not really. I'd describe Bloom as a shampoo-like sweet white floral, with hints of fresh, bitter, powdery notes that gives it a clean, soapy bite. At first spray the tuberose is very strong, a bit strong for me. But after half an hour later some a shampoo-like jasmine emerges, and also a bitter fresh green powdery soap that reminds me of Tabu or a vintage gentlemans soap.

I'm one of those people who loves tuberose in theory but hates it in practise. It's over-used to suggest an erotic theme and has an astonishing ability to dominate a fragrance to the exclusion of pretty much any note less forceful than household bleach. Gucci has, therefore, achieved something impressive in creating a tuberose I actually like.
Bloom is lightweight and fresh, capturing the moisture of tuberose without feeling tired and humid. It doesn't have enormous longevity (at least not when applied with a light hand), but it's a very wearable floral which definitely isn't run-of-the-mill.
Gorgeous!
I love the design, it is simple but classic, so gorgeous. I love floral scents as well so this is a favourite out of many floral scents that I have tried, it gets lots of compliments!
