Gucci Bloom ~ fragrance review

Posted by Kevin on 16 August 2017 18 Comments

Gucci Bloom

Bloom1 is one of the first two Gucci fragrances conceptualized by Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele. As with Gucci Guilty Absolute Pour Homme, Michele worked with perfumer Alberto Morillas. In each of these fragrances, Morillas used a new, “natural” ingredient; Guilty Absolute Pour Homme contains an extract of Nootka cypress and Bloom presents Rangoon creeper (“harvested” via headspace technology in India — so claims Gucci).

Korres Jasmine Lip Butter

For anyone who is still wishing for a tub of that Rodin lip balm but doesn't want to spend so much, here's a cheaper alternative: Korres Jasmine Lip Butter. "This rich butter leaves lips deeply moisturized, supple, and kissably soft. Korres Lip Butters are formulated with natural oils and extracts to soothe and condition lips. Shea butter and rice wax provide lasting hydration and softness. This shiny, juicy pop of color comes in an array of "flavors" and is ideal for dry lips." (I have not smelled or tested it, but I can vouch for the Korres Jasmine Shower Gel.) $12 for 6g at Sephora.

Diptyque Jasmin illustration

Friday is here! Plus, World Health Day (the theme for 2017: depression) and No Housework Day and Billie Holiday’s birthday. Our community project for today: wear a fragrance with jasmine, if you have one.

What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.

I’m radiating jasmine in Diptyque Essences Insensées 2015. When it fades a bit, I may add a dab of La Via del Profumo Tawaf…
