I was on the fence about getting this bc I feel like all Gucci scents are overpriced for what they are, and I wasn’t that impressed with the original. Even though this is too strong for me, I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a heavy scent, but not offensive. The notes just aren’t for me, but I can see a wide range of people liking this, and hey, buying from Dossier isn’t supporting a No Thanks kind of brand like Gucci! I wouldn’t return this, but I will be looking for layers to tone it down.

I was smelling a bunch of perfumes in Sephora one day and Gucci Bloom stood out immediately as my favorite, but I was not prepared to drop that much money. I've not done a side by side, but I also don't really care if it smells exactly the same. It's beautiful. It's like sticking your head in a honeysuckle bush. Incredible.
