Very similar to Burberry Weekend

In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon, in my opinion, is a very likable and refreshing floral fragrance.

My immediate observation was that it smelt very much like my fragrance love, Burberry Weekend. They both share a wonderfully luscious and juicy peach note highlighted by honeyed florals.

The tea note gives In Bloom a sharper and stronger edge that Burberry Weekend lacks. While this fragrance reminds me of happiness and sunshine, I also believe that it could work well as both a casual and formal scent.

The white florals in the heart of this scent are very pretty. Soft and feminine. However what starts out as a rich floral bouquet quickly becomes soapy and clean on the skin.

Due to the 'straight-out-of-the-shower' type feeling that this fragrance conveys, I'd recommend In Bloom for Summer and Spring. I actually think that Reese Witherspoon was the perfect face for this scent. She's the kind of person that could wear classic, feminine, golden and carefree fragrances with ease and confidence.

The drydown is rather pretty with the cashmere wood and amber rounding off the scent with a rich and soothing woodsy-ness. Unfortunately the drydown doesn't last very long, a few minutes at maximum. The overall scent itself lasts about 4-5 hours, not bad but not impressive either.

Gigantic Bouquet of Gardenia

Gardenia is one of those floral notes that do not always work for me, so I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it in this fragrance. In Bloom is indeed a gigantic gardenia bush, luscious, creamy and vibrant. The floral bouquet blooms intensely on my skin making this scent a bit too voluptuous for business or daytime but perfect for informal evening events. I find that this scent works best for me in early spring when the air is still a bit cool and crisp. When I take a walk in the evening, I feel like I am being surrounded by a gardenia veil dancing in cool spring wind. The scent is romantic, classy and feminine.

The opening smells light and fresh with a hint of citrus and magnolia but soon the white floral bouquet emerges and takes complete control of the scent. This is when gardenia starts to shine. There is also a light scent of jasmine in the background. The scent’s base is a cashmere wood, which complements the white floral notes well. The sillage and longevity are quite good on my skin.

Overall score 7.5/10. You have to be a gardenia fan to appreciate this. I do not consider this a modern “light” floral. The scent has substance and carries a tradition of classy white floral scents. One of my favorites from Avon.

Gorgeous Gardenia Perfume

This is a gorgeous floral with juicy peach accents (not too sweet; just a clean, fresh peach note). Lovers of fruity florals might wanto give this one a shot. Drydown on me is velvety (must be the cashmere in there..?) and the peach notes are still detectable after several hours (at least on my skin.) Personally I get the Gardenia note on me the most through every phase of its development. Magnolia comes in as a flanker and Jasmine is not noticeable. Great sillage and longevity. I think this is a great perfume for the price and lament its discontinuation.

Middle age summer

Oh so much older than before. This was another stumble to the days of youth, and the peach orchards along the lake. It doesn;t hit you like so many others, rather it gently slaps itself onto your cheek. Where it resides most of the summer resisting the swimming and mud wrestling so common at its introduction celebration. It has a precise toughness that is forgiving as the days count down and the fruit ripens on the trees and the vine, Oh to be back in the peach orchards once again.

A Carefree Summer

I got to know In Bloom in the summer of 2010. I was 30, quite tired, to be precise, on the verge of burnout.
I suspect everyone knows this - every few years you take stock. You reflect. You think about what you planned and achieved. For me, this happened at 30. And I was overwhelmed by fatigue and homesickness.
I had worked a lot. Long shifts, many guests. And it increasingly wore on my nerves. And the thoughts of returning kept coming back.
I wanted to go back to Russia. Or rather to my youth? To find that out, I took a break for a summer. And got on the plane.
I traveled across the country for a summer. Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Caucasus, Central Russia. Big cities, small towns, villages. Visited old friends. Made new friends.
Got off the sleeper train at half-forgotten stations to catch my breath. Bought the grandmothers their hand-knitted scarves and socks. Made acquaintances on the train.
In Bloom was one of those train acquaintances. In Russia, the Avon brand is widely spread. A representative traveled with me, bringing some samples to sniff.
And the scent was so clear, so light. Peach and gardenia. It is fresh, yet not juvenile. And it lasted a good 5 hours, despite its lightness. At that price, simply superb. I liked it very much. It was the scent that perfectly matched that carefree summer. It was simply refreshing.
It suited sandals and beach dresses. Cargo pants and hiking shoes. Jeans and t-shirts. And even mini skirts and pumps. It was absolutely harmonious everywhere.
And now it was empty, summer was over, and I was thousands of experiences richer. It was time to return to Germany. I took stock, gathered my thoughts, and recharged my energy.
At that time, it was clear to me - I don’t want to go back. Will it still be the same in 10 years? Time will tell. The break was necessary. It brought me a lot.
I don’t want to say that In Bloom is special. No. But it is a well-made floral scent in a beautiful bottle. Well suited for young women. Back then, it was inexpensive. Now it has become a rarity. I found it in the souk and simply bought it.
I wear it very gladly. Just for myself. There I feel the fresh wind in my hair again, have thousands of images in my head. The images of a carefree summer.
