Best Summer Perfumes for Women

1. Gucci Bloom Eau de Parfum for Women

Gucci Bloom Eau de Parfum

Buy Now

Bloom is one of the best Gucci summer perfumes for women conceptualized by Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele. As with Gucci Guilty Absolute Pour Homme, Michele worked with perfumer Alberto Morillas.

In each of these fragrances, Morillas used a new “natural” ingredient; Guilty Absolute Pour Homme contains a Nootka cypress extract and Bloom presents climbing Rangoon (“harvested” via headspace technology in India – so Gucci claims).

Flowering begins with a penetrating and slightly fruity jasmine/tuberose accord. The flowers start as “buds” (a little sharp and “unripe”) before blooming to release a rich and sweet scent.

Bloom is not a complex fragrance; it is a mélange of flowers: mainly jasmine and tuberose with a brilliant note that reminds me of candied violets.

This scent is absolutely beautiful, and lasts on the skin practically all day but at no time is it overwhelming or super strong.

But when the scent blooms, it conveys a deeper and more forbidden fruit with traces of warm vanilla, evolving into a mature woman who has grown into her identity and it’s versatile enough to be worn both day and night.

Structured yet simplistic, the rectangular shape of the bottle with rounded edges is both pleasing to the eye and easy to grasp when spraying.
