Description
After her first fragrance which was a great success, My Life from 2010, singer Mary J. Blige is launching a new version of the fragrance named My Life Blossom. The new perfume continues the fragrant story of the first release.
My Life Blossom was created in cooperation with Firmenich and Lisa Price of Carol’s Daughter. Top notes of this floral fragrance start with gardenia petals, mandarin, white freesia and orange flower, developing into a heart full of tuberose, jasmine and marigold. The whole composition closes with sandalwood, cashmere and vanilla.
One interesting thing is that by buying this perfume, you contribute to the Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now (FFAWN), the charity formed by Mary J. Blige and Steve Stoute which enables women to develop their personality through scholarships, grants and programs. One dollar from each flacon will be donated to the Foundation .
The fragrance in a simple glass flacon arrives on the market in 2011 as 50 ml.

It is one of my favorite perfumes. I got one in Wallmart for 25 dollars, and couple days ago I saw it in TJMAXX for 3.99.
I will probably stock up. I don’t go to Wallmart at all, so buying perfume at Wallmart was kind of a joke in my family. But it was the only place I was able to find who sell it.
This perfume evoke deep emotional connection for me. I love marigold, and gardenia, white freesia and orange in it. I can smell it all day long. I would agree it has a creamy texture. It is somewhat oily on the skin. And this perfume does leave traces on the clothes.
I can detect it on me for hours, and i enjoy it tremendously. The silage is good.

omg nice 1oz $3.99 deal at TJMaxx on this. i definitely like blossom better than her signature, easy on pocketbook and smells like a MKors dupe – which is too expensive of option for me. im determining how long sprays last before the scent fades requiring reapplication. anyway i would recommend it as a splurge – it can also be applied along with some other scent – the deal for me is not a piggy bank breaker for me and that is so cool!

Very nice fragrance! I had never seen this one before! I walked into a local store and they had them for $10 I bought one and after i got it home i sprayed it and I LOVE it! So much i went back and bought a 2nd one as a spare! This one smells much better than the original! Its a little lighter and sweeter. It also has a very nice lasting power! The bottle is very cute too! I also plan on going back to get a few bottles for family members. The original my life is a little heavy and a little tricky to wear, this one is much better!

I owned the first one and while I think its a nice scent, I wasn’t totally wowed by it.
I just blind bought a small bottle of My Life Blossom.
My impression is that its fresher, creamier and sweeter scent that original. Although notes are very simular in both, Blossom is definately a good flanker because they are some simularities yet these are clearly two different scents.
I agree with below reviewer who called it”creamy sweet white floral”-its an apt description. I like it better than the original, to be honest. For some reason it smells more tropical to my nose(probably because of tuberose and vanilla together) which is all to the good. The most distinctive notes to my nose are orange flower, tuberose and vanilla/sandalwood that blend quite beautifully together. If you want green gardenia scent, this is NOT it.
I think that lot of people think its simular to MK but I don’t find it to be the case as Blossom is much sweeter and cremier scent

I love My Life Blossom, a sweet, creamy white floral. It’s a little on the woody and fruity side as well. It’s a great daytime fragrance, and that can be worn to the office. I also recommend it for fun, informal occasions like to a party, or on a day in or out with friends/family. I mainly smell the gardenia, sandalwood, vanilla, a little bit of the mandarin and orange flower, as well as the other florals. I think it blends really well, and nothing was overdone or overpowering. It’s long lasting that can last most of the day, depending how much you spray on. It can be quite strong if you do more than one sprtiz. It also think it projects well.

When I got this perfume I was not sure I’d keep it due to the fact that I never like florals or gardenia based scents. Strangely, after a couple of days, I literally fell in love with this. Feminine, sexy, soft, elegant; I keep smelling it. I also have the body creme which is like silk…you have to try it!

Oh wow, I sniffed this in a magazine at the hair stylist’s, and I love it! Soo floral and lovely, absolutely feminine and pleasant. Will buy.

Sometimes you have to leave well enough alone! The first MJB My Life was absolutely my favorite…this one smells exactly like My Life; however, when it dries down it loses the praline sweetness and turns to a bitter grassy smell almost too much gardenia for my tastes. I was so disappointed and wanted to return it back to HSN; however, my mother loved it and so I gifted the fragrance to her.

The opening smells EXACTLY like the first one but it’s a little lighter and it dries down sooo much better than the first. It starts off kinda tuberoseyish but it dries down to a nice, incense, kinda sweet smell to it with just a hint of Vanilla. I really like this one a lot better but I wouldn’t mind getting a bottle of the first or getting a rollerball.

I ordered it. I like it. I don’t think I love it at all. It’s very floral and green to me. It isn’t bad at all but I think Juicy Couture, Kim Kardashian, and Mariah’s Forever are more to my taste than Blossom is. I’m going to test all 4 of them together to make my decision. I wish I had tried her 1st one! From what I’ve heard, it sounds sweeter than Blossom and much more up my alley. I don’t get the sweetness of the praline and vanilla that I was hoping for. I’ll test it a bit more. : )
