Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming
by Dior
Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming is a sweet, fruity floral fragrance with a powerful and long-lasting projection, offering a deeply feminine and romantic experience. The opening bursts with vibrant, juicy red berries—raspberry, black currant, pomegranate—bathed in a subtle hint of pink pepper, creating a sparkling, playful, and slightly sticky sensation. Over time, the fruitiness mellows, revealing a lush, velvety core of rose, peony, and white musk, giving it a soft, powdery, and slightly gourmand character. It evokes the image of a high-end fashion boutique or a well-kept garden, with crisp cosmetic notes, clean linen, and a subtle velvety depth that persists long after the initial spray. The fragrance is particularly well-suited to cooler weather, where it maintains its elegance and strength—on warmer days, the intensity can feel overwhelming. It is distinct from the original Miss Dior EDP and more luxurious than Blooming Bouquet, with a uniquely balanced sweetness that avoids being cloying or juvenile. While some reviewers note a synthetic or overly sweet quality—especially in hot weather—the fragrance warrants patience, as the initial burst is followed by a refined, elegant dry down that many find deeply satisfying.
Pros
- +Exceptional longevity and projection, lasting up to 10+ hours on most skin types, with a strong, noticeable sillage that can inspire many compliments.
- +Delightfully balanced sweetness—rich but not cloying—accompanied by a vibrant burst of red berries and a radiant floral core centered on rose and peony.
- +Especially well-suited for cooler climates and late fall to winter; on cold skin, it becomes more refined, nuanced, and elegantly warm without going too sweet.
Cons
- −Can be overwhelming, especially on warm skin, with a strong sugary and fruity profile that may feel excessive for sensitive or warmer-weather wear.
- −Some users report difficulty with the opening due to aggressive berry notes, which can feel synthetic or unpleasant, especially when applied generously.
- −Its sweetness may not suit those seeking a minimal, minimalist, or fresh, non-gourmand approach; it is undeniably a 'sweet girl' fragrance in both character and presence.
