by S.T. Dupont
Pure Bloom by S.T. Dupont is a creamy, gourmand floral fragrance centered around tuberose and sour cherry, with a smooth, sweet drydown that evokes vanilla and cashmere wood. It opens with a hint of pink pepper and sour cherry, creating an unexpectedly fuzzy, slightly ripe cherry note that is not cloying but complementary. The heart features thick, luscious tuberose and orange blossom, forming a luxuriously floral base that’s balanced by warm wood and patchouli. The drydown reveals a velvety, comforting fusion of creamy vanilla-like tones, cashmere wood, and a subtle musk, making it feel mature and grounded rather than sweet or childish. While marketed as feminine-leaning and overwhelmingly preferred by women, the fragrance is not exclusively so—its performance and base are rich and masculine enough to be worn comfortably by men who appreciate soft, cream-sweet floral compositions. Longevity is outstanding for its price point, with most users reporting wearer times of 10+ hours, and sillage remains strong yet not overwhelming.
