Coconut and Vanilla in Pure Form
Behind the name "Coco Vanille" lies exactly what it reads: coconut and vanilla in pure form.
A warm and synthetic scent that is hard to surpass in sweetness.
Other fragrance components are sought in vain with this perfume. Therefore, I personally cannot share associations with sunscreen: the creamy-powdery character with additional notes is missing for me.
Longevity and sillage are above average with "Coco Vanille," more than appropriate for the price. I can imagine that this fragrance could be excellent for layering.
Absolute recommendation for all those looking for a vanilla-coconut scent without "disruptions."

The Most Expensive Strawberry in the World (Probably)
Bright pink strawberry ice cream, dusted with a generous amount of vanilla sugar: This is how I would briefly describe Miami Shake.
Immediately, I was reminded of the strawberry body butter from The Body Shop.
I must admit that I was surprised by the mostly negative reviews. Yes, the scent is kept simple, and yes, the sillage and longevity could - no, should - be significantly better for this price. But I believe this perfume delivers what its fragrance pyramid promises: a sweet, synthetic strawberry scent with a creamy character.
The strawberry is always present, from start to finish. Soon, vanilla with a hint of coconut joins in the background, making the scent softer and creamier. I don’t detect any musk, though.
A major point of criticism is the sillage and longevity. After just a few minutes, the scent becomes very close to the skin, which I find inappropriate for the high price.
Miami Shake is a perfume that not only reminds one of summer but practically screams summer. For strawberry fans, it may even be a must-have, although I would never recommend or buy this scent at its original price. But during a big sale? Why not.

Unexpectedly often comes...
As I was strolling through the perfumery I trust the other day, my gaze fell upon a beautiful, apparently new bottle. With its square shape and the delicate, golden floral vines on a black background, it radiated an elegance and mystique that immediately piqued my curiosity.
Although I can hardly appreciate floral scents and the brand Gucci, I cautiously sprayed a little perfume on my wrist; my expectations were at zero.
Then I was blown away.
Just when I was expecting a floral, nondescript scent, I was enveloped by a warm, spicy cloud. In the first moment, Bloom beamed me to a colorful, beautiful spice market. Cardamom is immediately present, the smokiness of Peru balsam refines the intense sweetness of vanilla and apricot. After a short time, the floral components of the perfume come to the forefront, but Peru balsam, vanilla, and cardamom never take even a single step back.
After a few hours, Bloom reminds me of the scent that hits you when you open a fresh bag of gummy cola bottles. Creamy vanilla, paired with a delicate hint of spice. Delicious!
This perfume is different. Different from its predecessors, different from the typical scent signature of Gucci. It is spicy, sweet, dark, and incredibly deep. I would have expected such a fragrance pyramid in the niche sector, as it is very special.
What can I say, dear Parfumo community - despite a strict self-imposed ban on buying perfumes, I had to give in. My perfume collection has been enhanced by a beautiful, perhaps even the most beautiful, bottle. Since I have owned Bloom, I wear the scent daily. The addictive potential is incredibly high. It certainly has its charm in all seasons; however, I see it more as a fragrance for special occasions. Perhaps also a perfume that can be worn unisex?
If you love gourmand and spicy scents, you should definitely try Bloom. Longevity and sillage speak for a high quality that I would have expected more in the niche sector.
Let's have a bag of cola bottles to that!

Syrupy Sweet Teen Room ft. Mom's Lavender
1992. Nicole stands, her eyes squinted critically, in front of the wall mirror in her room. Highly indecisive about her hairstyle choice, she tucks a crimped strand of hair behind her ear, only to reverse this action a few seconds later. Sigh. “Nickiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!”, a voice suddenly calls out. This not only pulls Nicole out of her carousel of thoughts but also retrieves the large bottle of vanilla body lotion from the poster-covered corner cabinet.
“How many times have I told you to please put my cosmetics back in the bathroom - if you absolutely have to use them!”
Nicole rolls her eyes. Her carefully curled and mascaraed eyelashes have left a black trace on her eyelids. And how many times has she told her mother that today is a really special day?
“Alright, Mom, I was just about to do that. Can I take a little bit of your purple perfume?”
Normally, Nicole wouldn’t even ask, but would sneak over to the white dresser in her parents' bedroom unnoticed. There, well cushioned between bathrobes and nightgowns, her mother keeps a treasure of colorful perfume bottles. Most of the time, Nicole randomly pulls out a bottle (which often comes with a little nose wrinkling), but today it has to be the purple one. So she couldn't take any risks.
Nicole's mother raises an eyebrow in annoyance. “Go ahead. But not too much, my dear, or you'll smell like a lavender bush.”
Satisfied, Nicole reaches for a neon green bottle of hairspray to finalize her hairstyle, envelops herself in a mist of lavender perfume, and feels simply invincible.
2024. Nicole stands, her eyes squinted critically, in the perfumery she trusts. Sniffing intently. Then her mouth transforms into a smile. “Oh man. Just like back then.”

Straight from the Dryer
My perfume collection caters to any cravings for sugary popcorn, vanilla, and dark caramel. Freshness is only allowed to come from laundry scents for me - everything else gets dull with gourmand notes. Perhaps this was the reason why I absolutely wanted to test The Muse. A fragrance that smells like laundry detergent? I have to sniff it. Absolutely.
When I close my eyes, I think of concentrated laundry powder in its purest form. The scent is intense, synthetic, and straightforward.
Depth or any significant development on the skin is unfortunately absent, which is not meant negatively. This straightforwardness is also reflected in the bottle.
For outsiders, it is certainly not always recognizable that a perfume has been applied. Rather, it smells as if your own clothes have just come out of the dryer, fresh and still a bit warm. Well-groomed, clean. Perhaps a bit too intense, but not headache-inducing.
The longevity is fantastic. Even the next day, I can still smell The Muse on my skin and clothing.
