What wearers say
“Great notes, great mix. Perfect smell. But no longevity, no sillage sadly. I loved it but no one recognized this perfume when I wore it. If I could find a fragrance that smells the same but with better longevity and sillage, I wouldn't think for a second and would buy it immediately. But until then, I have said goodbye to this one.”
“Smells just like Vanilla Amber Bourbon from Victoria’s Secret. There’s a heavy cranberry note present with vanilla in the background. Haven’t tested out the silage but it’s lasted on my skin for 2 hrs now.Update: It lasted about 4 hrs on my skin. Not the greatest sillage either.”
“This is what I expect of a flanker: keeping close to the DNA of the original, but with enough differences to make them stand out. It’s very much like Hypnotic Vanilla, with less of that Play Doh scent, and without the mossy scent, and yes, with more floral notes. Personally, I favor the Bloom over the Original, even though I can understand why some would consider this variation “safer and more boring”.Projection is really, really good in the beginning, at least to me. Longevity is pretty moderate.”
