The Scoop
Souvenir Blooming Bliss captures the creamy vanilla-powder DNA of Vanilla Powder reasonably well, with a similar soft floral heart structure. However, the clone leans slightly more rose-forward in the middle notes while the original emphasizes peony, and the spice opening feels marginally softer, lacking some of the original's ginger brightness.
Key Differences
The clone's heart notes shift more toward rose instead of peony, and the top spice accord is somewhat muted compared to the original. Longevity and sillage are comparable, but the overall character feels slightly less dimensional.

What wearers say
“Blooming bliss has quickly become my special occasions scent. It opens with some undisclosed fruity, which stays for the entirety of the life of the fragrance but is subdued by a sweet, creamy, airy and fluffy coconut, vanilla and soft caramel combo. Then there is the creamy and slightly nutty Sandalwood.It has a pervasive tropical vibe i love.I find to be extremely long lasting (over 12 hours) with massive projection.This always gets me compliments.”
“I have to agree with another commenter below-this smells like straight alcohol and maybe it’s from a bad batch. I’ve had it well over a year and it’s rubbing alcohol that dries down to maybe the most vague essence of vanilla and coconut. Very disappointing because I wanted to love it. Plus side is I do love the bottle design, it’s so tacky and weird which I can appreciate.”
“This smells like Lattafa Ajwad and Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday had a baby. It's a woody rose with some caramel facets. I don't smell coconut anything. But at least ot doesn't smell like pennies! It's growing on me.”
