Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet (2023)
by Dior
Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet (2023) delivers a soft, delicate floral profile centered around rose, peony, and sweet pea, enhanced with a bright bergamot opening. It feels transparent and lightweight, evoking clean, fresh spring days—ideal for daytime wear in warmer months. The scent has a youthful, innocent character, akin to a bouquet of wildflowers or freshly washed clothing. While some note a sharper, more citrus-forward start compared to the old version, many find the core scent nearly identical, with minimal deviation in dry down. The fragrance performs moderately, fading quickly and projecting subtly, making it more of a skin scent than a lasting presence. It excels as a gentle, non-intrusive scent for those who prefer subtlety over impact. The reformulation has stirred mixed reactions, with some citing a lighter feel and an artificial or soapy edge, while others affirm its continuity with the original. It appeals most to fans of soft, feminine florals who value a clean, effervescent touch without heavy sillage or long wear.
