Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet Dior 2023 Eau de Toilette

I was recommended this by a SA at Sephora as I wanted something soft for every day. I picked up the travel/roll-on version. I'm not sure if it's because it's a roll-on, but the longevity and sillage are basically non-existent. I'd say after 1-2 hours on me it's completely gone. Such a disappointment, especially since it's more expensive per ml compared to other designer fragrances at Sephora.

As to the scent itself, it's hard to dislike it. It's very soapy and floral, specifically light/pink flowers. I think you could wear this for in any occasion. It reminds me a bit of Chloe L'Eau actually but lighter. If you're someone who is sensitive to scents, or lives with someone who is sensitive, this could be for you. I imagine a younger woman wearing a crisp white shirt wearing this to brunch or afternoon tea.

The overwhelming scent of rose remind me of the time when we passed by a rose garden, barefoot with a pile of my skirt in my hand after the party in our 20s coming back home without anyone noticing and giggling together, trying to disobey the rules combined with the scent of a peaceful fear of facing new challenges

Personal: 7.5/10 - A light and lovely floral. I enjoy it, but I don't find it amazing.
Mass appeal: 10/10 - One of the least offensive women's fragrances.
Performance: 5.5/10 - Performance is modest as best, but it sits so close to the skin.
Value: 6.5/10 - It's typical Dior unnecessarily expensive pricing, but it's a solid daily wear fragrance.
Uniqueness: 5.5/10 - Generic floral DNA. Elegant and polished but familiar floral musk with no boundaries pushed.
SCORE: 70/100

Full bottle buy? NO, despite being pretty, it's too soft and fleeting.
Blind buy? YES, if you love light, clean florals. It's as safe as it gets.
Recommend? YES, particularly as a gift or anyone who loves very girly scents.
Date night? YES, but for warm days and when the sun is out. Very springtime.
Office safe? YES, office friendly, without question.

Pros: Soft, clean, floral bouquet. Smells refreshing. Almost universally appealing.
Cons: Poor performance. Very familiar DNA. Dior price tag isn't the best.

Upon smelling, this feels like a female version of Versace Pour Homme. It's clean, fresh, inoffensive, and very pleasant. I don't find it remarkable, as the opening is a blast of citrus and florals, and drying down the florals evolve and the musk starts to talk. It's rather linear, as would be expected from a lady's freshie, but it's a great summer, fresh, dumb reach fragrance. It's kind of masterful in its own right.

A gentle floral for sunny, bright, warm days, but not a lasting performer.

*Review #39 in my fragrance journey - this fragrance I own as a decant*

The perfume is very airy (not watery - I don’t like watery scents) and at the same time sweet from the sweet pea. As the bottle sits over time, it becomes richer, stronger, and sweeter, but the freshness never disappears. It reminds me of something from Jo Malone, like English pear and sweet pea, though I have to say the longevity is better (and the bottle is lovely). An excellent perfume, especially for early spring, every spring I naturally reach for it

Initial impression was that it smells extremely soapy-like a slightly musky rose soap. A hint of mandarin can be detected but it is very faint. It is not unpleasant by any means, just not to my taste. I could see people describing this as 'mature' but I think it would actually fit right in with the 'clean girl' aesthetic. Definitely best suited for daily wear and would work in any season. The performance is about what one would expect from an edt.
