I know some people who are seriously nerdy about fragrances, and honestly I feel a little intimidated when I hear them talk about their niche collection. My taste is more basic, if I’m honest, but I love what I love. I adore feminine, radiant fragrances that make me feel like I’m walking through some medieval princess’s lush and carefully tended gardens, I adore scents that make me think of a fine spring day when the birds are busy, the sun is warm, and everything is possible. One such perfume is this confection from Dior.
The Scent Story
First, let’s break down the essentials. Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet (P7,050 for 50 mL) is available online via Rustan’s Beauty Source. This perfume is a lovely blend of floral, fresh, and musky notes, with a dash of citrusy sweetness. The top notes feature Sweet Pea and Bergamot, the middle is all about Peony and Damask Rose, and it finishes off with a base note of White Musk.
It's an easy scent to love because it embodies feminine elegance without being overwhelming. It makes me feel pretty in a subtle, effortless way, and it has this uncanny ability to lift my spirits instantly. It's like having a little secret weapon that brightens up my day with just one spritz.
Staying power is up to 4-5 hours on me, and it leaves a train of sillage; but not too strong.
Why This Could Be Your Next Signature Scent
Feminine and Fresh: Imagine stepping into a garden where the flowers are in full bloom—that’s what this scent captures. It’s elegant without being over the top. You won’t smell like you just raided a flower shop.
Perfect for Daytime: This is one of those scents that you can spritz on before heading out for brunch, a casual day at the office, or even just a bit of shopping. It’s light enough to wear during the day but has enough character to leave an impression.
Not Overpowering: One of my pet peeves is a perfume that announces your presence before you do. Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet is sophisticated but subtle, like that friend who always looks effortlessly chic without trying too hard.
A Travel-Friendly Option
Now, for those who like their perfumes travel-friendly, the Miss Dior Mini Miss Solid Perfume in Blooming Bouquet is a cute little addition to your collection. Priced at P4,100 with a refill option at P3,200, it’s available exclusively through Dior Beauty Boutiques and counters throughout the Philippines. It’s a solid perfume, which means no spills in your bag—just an elegant touch-up whenever you need it.
This one looks like a jelly lip balm which you twist upwards, then apply directly on your pulse points. That would be behind the ears and on the wrists! It feels exactly like lip balm, just with a noticeable scent that gets stronger as it warms up on your skin.
A good perfume is like a reliable friend. It’s there when you need a pick-me-up, it’s comforting, and it doesn’t try too hard to impress. Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet fits that bill perfectly. So, have you given it a sniff yet? If not, maybe it’s time to treat yourself to a little floral magic. After all, life’s too short for bad perfumes!
