I completely agree with Staar77’s review below! I have the 10ml rollerball in orange, and I’m getting the vibe of a “light” aromatic fougere which, in addition to the notes that this reviewer mentions (lemon, mandarin, coriander, black pepper, juniper berry, lily, olive flower, nutmeg, anise, cedar, tonka bean, amber) I also sense a STRONG note of lavender, as well as a base dominated by a very-clean white musk. There is also a well-balanced presence of calone for that fresh, airy feel.
‘Bloom’ reminds me of a combo of Egoiste Platinum, Bvlgari’s White Tea (au the blanc), as well as LaCoste for men (1984). Charming, refreshing, clean… definitely daywear. I see no reason why women couldn’t pull off this type of fragrance as it simply smells much like expensive soap as it settles.
Sillage starts off moderate at first, but fades to soft over the first hour, becoming a tenacious skin-scent thereafter and lasting beyond 12 hours on my skin.
I find orange an odd color in which to package this fragrance, as it smells very “white” to me. Fans of laundry-detergent scents would dig this one!

I cannot match this at all with the listed notes at all. I can smell no flowers at all, just heavy on the citrus and coriander.
The one I have is in the orange rollerball, not the flower-shaped bottle shown, so I am wondering if this is some sort of reformulation on Haramain’s part.
I was gifted this by someone who just couldn’t get on with it, and sadly I feel the same way. As it is such a masculine scent, I’ll be handing it on to a guy I know -perhaps it will suit him better.

ETA: I had Firdous by Al-Haramain and I wondered how it would go with bloom…
So I decided to layer it and am very pleased with the results-better than with Moroccan Roses and Shaikhah by Al-Rehab.
There is a woody and fresh green aspect and I can even smell the lily, green rose and another floral note…maybe the less harsh lily-of-the-valley?
There is a nice spiciness aspect there as well.
It is more unisex now as it seems that both perfumes are bringing up notes of each other in a complimentary way.
There is also more amber and musk coming out.
So all in all both Bloom and Firdous go very well together, it’s like a nice woody/green floral and spicy mix.
It’s unusual in its own way but I like it 🙂

Firstly here are the other notes that I saw on another website that Bloom contains:
Anise, nutmeg, coriander, juniper berry, pepper, olive flower, tonka bean, cedarwood, lemon, mandarin, lily and amber.
The above sparked my interest a lot and made me curious enough to blind buy this scent…
Bloom to me at first sniff is very masculine smelling-both in the bottle and on my skin.
There is the scent of coriander, anise and juniper berry initially with rosemary in the background. I can also pick up the sharp citrus note of lemon.
There are no floral notes but instead it starts as being very green and spicy.
There is musk in the background and behind that there is a hint of oud.
The very masculine smell carries on after half an hour.
I am actually surprised that this fragrance is meant to be a feminine one, not that I’m a ‘ultra girly, girly fruity/floral’ type of person, but it still remains rather masculine after a while.
Plus I’ve enjoyed wearing some of the more masculine smelling Ard Al Zaafaran perfumes, so it’s not that I completely dislike masculine smelling perfumes.
I’ve tried to layer it with Al-Rehab’s Moroccan Rose and Shaikhah and that seems to be a more palatable scent.
After about an hour the masculine edge to this perfume dies down and I’m left with a fresh green scent with a floral background, but unfortunately I could not stand the hour of the ultra masculine scent, plus it turns into a skin scent for me.
Sadly my body chemistry has let me down with this perfume.
I’m sure it will suit others better than me, and probably not be as masculine-smelling on other women.
It would smell really good on men I’d say.
