A Powdery Surprise

Some of you might be surprised now: powdery? Yes, exactly. And even creamy.
I find that strange too. And when I read the previous short reviews here: my scent perception on my skin hardly matches - not sharp, not overly fruity, or anything like that. I sprayed it on and later, while looking at parfumo, I wondered: If this is really the one I have on, then it is delicious and even a wish candidate.

The bottle does not match the scent in my opinion; a powdery hue and a curved shape would be more fitting to my perception. I do perceive a progression, which is not linear for me: the top note is berry-like and light, the heart is somehow unusual, and the base, even as it fades after unfortunately just 5 hours on my skin, is almost only amber and beautifully soft. However, the berry still shines through for a long time. I can't distinguish the rose and the other notes separately. But that doesn't matter. Overall, for me, it is an elegant composition, and I am completely perplexed because I didn't expect this. Just (m)y powdery surprise.

I only came across this because I received the **Bloom** as a gift, which obviously fits my taste. Then I took another look around. Especially since I'm just now getting back into perfumes after a shocking phase of olfactory burnout.
But the short comments suggest that the scent is perceived very differently. That’s quite interesting, though.

Gucci is releasing an interesting scent? It's been a long time since that happened. Test alert and trophy.

Ha, I felt the same way. I didn't have high expectations, and then I was pleasantly surprised. I found it has a unique quality that I haven't encountered before. The blackberry also lasted a long time for me. I need to test it a few more times, but I think it will definitely find a place in my collection sooner or later.
