I took the opportunity to blend seaweed, vetiver and mimosa essential oils. It is a very pleasant and interesting menage a trois. At first the seaweed hits the nose but…April 17, 2024 at 7:55pm
Hello Alexandra: How kind to let me know. So pleased you found Bloom a welcoming place, yes I too find them knowledgeable and they’re not pushy, nothing is too much…April 17, 2024 at 9:40am
Hello, everyone!! I am currently obsessed with Jo Malone’s Mimosa and Cardamom, which is my most recent discovery and upon Victoria’s recommendation on here… even though I’d love it to…April 16, 2024 at 6:32pm
Aurora, I wanted to give you a quick update on my perfume exploration in London. Thanks for recommending Bloom. The staff were fantastic and suggested some interesting fragrances with rhubarb…

Victoriasown: Any word on when they will have bottles for sale? I heard not till August, I hope it’s sooner. They are gonna get everyone whooped up if they wait that long. :O)
No mention of the violet? The violet was prominent to my nose.A fragrance strip sounds not too accurate. :O( June 9, 2006 at 2:18pm
Gloria: I’ve tried it. It’s definitly a fruity floral and if you like that you’ll love this one. Even if you don’t think you would like it I think you should try it. It has great staying power and is very addictive. May I also say it’s a great compliment getter. June 9, 2006 at 2:25pm
Ina: Have you tried it, V.? June 9, 2006 at 11:47am
Ina: Yay! Can’t wait to hear. 🙂 June 9, 2006 at 1:08pm
Laura: I had not heard of this one! Sounds like it’ll be fun to try. Can’t wait to read your review, V! June 9, 2006 at 4:19pm
BoisdeJasmin: Ina, I need to revisit it at least one more time, but so far I am not enchanted with it. June 11, 2006 at 6:01pm
BoisdeJasmin: V, they have a tester, but no samples to mail out. I understood that the bottles will be available in July, but so far, one can get a preview. I am not sure what the official notes are supposed to be, but I got lots of berries, iris, violet, sandalwood and incense. Maybe, something else too, but I cannot recall it right now.

BoisdeJasmin: Gloria, I found it very tenacious, and it was the only thing I could smell the entire evening. A very strong sillage for sure. June 11, 2006 at 6:03pm
BoisdeJasmin: L, I wonder how you might like it. For me, it was a very traditional composition, which is probably what the house wanted to display. June 11, 2006 at 6:04pm
violetnoir: What? You did not like it, V? I need details.
Thanks!
Hugs! June 13, 2006 at 5:46pm
BoisdeJasmin: R, I promise to have them. It reminded me of Samsara in the drydown, albeit with a bit of musky fruit. June 14, 2006 at 12:30pm

Gloria: Gotta say……some days Insolence is too much for me but it’s very recognizable. It can be too sweet but I get in the mood for it. Not like a lot of perfumes that all smell alike. It gets the compliments I’ll tell ya. July 29, 2006 at 9:10pm
