If you don’t want to spend so much money on Dior Absolute Blooming, go for this one. It’s the same sickening sweet, wait for the middle notes and dry down. Fresh, airy raspberry champagne. Ideal for hot day and working day.
The color of the actual perfume is like the color of brandy, not really pinkish like in the picture.
I’m in my mid 30s, and i like this raspberry perfume.

A nicely blended sparkly-citrusy-fruity. Not sugary, not gourmand, not powdery, not oriental -despite fragrantica- and those are all big pluses for me as I dislike these accords on fruties. And nothing crazy despite its name. Rather a nostalgic aldehydic uplifting vibe.

I feel addicted to its extremely soft And loving sweetness that comes from caramel, its raspberry note is very strong and delicious , when I tested it for first time I told my friend I only smell a garden full of raspberries. after a short time, it slowly changed into caramel and a little bit of roses and champagne , but what you almost get from it is raspberries and caramel and vanilla. it seems to be a caramel cake or sweet that you eat with a glass full of raspberry juice. or a caramel icecream with a layer of raspberries. I do love it so much. it is so friendly and honest young lady who you fall in love with at a glance!

A blind cheapie I picked up. Like all the other fruity/floral/caramels like J’Aime by La Perla. This is bright, girlie, airy, but decent sillage/potency. Worth the $18-20 I paid, but that’s about it. Smells like fresh, floral fruity candy.

It was a bit overwhelmingly “lolly” at first. Not unpleasant but just sweet and strong. It has mellowed out deliciously, I do like a sweet yummy floral. It’s creamy sweet, not powdery, which I like a lot. It’s smooth like a bath full of velvety petals. The caramel makes it a little warmer. Breathing it in is like some sort of comfort food. On the Wishlist.

For once a really enjoyable Blind buy. I don’t smell the caramel but I do smell wonderful bubbles and raspberry fragrance. This is just a sweet relaxing scent, I wore it to bed and fell asleep surrounded buy clouds of sweetness. Pretty, relaxing and enjoyable. For once a cheap perfume that doesn’t smell cheap or generic on me.

This was a lovely surprise to test and could become another favorite for all-day/all-night wear. It really is like wearing the spirit of joy, or what I would deem a potion concocted with all the ingredients that make up joy: sweet fruit, warm caramel, a slight chocolate-y rose so rich and drenched in what sizzled in my nose like sparkling Italian grape soda. When I looked up the actual notes (before I review a perfume, I always try to guess what they are upon first sniff) and found that it was supposed to contain the bubbly effervescence of champagne (always the congratulatory toast of happiness and luck) it wasn’t a surprise, yet to me it was a very dark grape bubbly — perhaps because of the raspberry!
I would recommend this for anyone young, and anyone who wants to feel young again. Aptly named, and great fun to wear. I have nothing negative to say about this. It transforms me into a giggling schoolgirl, or to my college days when going out to the bars after class to drink my favorite fruity cocktail was the s***!

It’s sparkling, sweet, young and light hearted. A friendly fragrance for the young or young at heart. It’s sweet, definitely not a serious scent, but who ever said perfume had to be serious to be good?
It’s like a frilly pink dress you bought to wear in spring time. Not even remotely somber or serious, but fun and easy and ultra cheerful.

I love this fruity fragrance which sparkles at the opening and becomes sweeter and sweeter all day long. Strawberry, champagne and caramel are very present. It’s well balanced, not too syrupy.
It’s sweet, feminine, cheerful.
A good idea for young women who love gourmand, but not heavy, fragrances.
Good longevity.

This is such a cozy perfume!
It only contains 4 notes, but is’s definitely not linear and not boring!
Opens with fizzy champagne & juicy, sweet, fresh raspberry.
As it dries down the scent slowly starts to change… Champagne disappears as soon as the bubbles have died out and then makes way for rose to shine through. The rose here is very subtle and has a balmy feel to it, probably because the caramel is already working it’s way to the surface.
It takes some time, but eventually I was left with this very delicious gourmand trace of buttery caramel on my skin of which I kept getting whiffs throughout the day and well over 8 hours. Soft, but definitely there!
This makes people want to come a little closer to you, to smell this deliciousness…
An absolute love for me!

Just got this in today and I had to try it. It is a simple but very natural smelling perfume, the raspberry and champagne definitely top notes, the rose and caramel are middle notes. I really wouldn’t call caramel the base. The caramel makes it interesting but also makes it a tad funky. I’m not just loving the rose and caramel combination. I won’t order another bottle of this, even at $18, as it becomes a skin scent after two hours. Of course, many very expensive perfumes these days become a skin scent after two hours. I did spray it on my pillows, though, and my bedroom smells heavenly.
If you want something different, very adult, and inexpensive go for it. I expect I’ll be loving it as my bedtime pillow fragrance.

I just got it l and it isn’t a gourmand per se, it is like a fresh floral, with a hint of sweetness, I do detect the champagne, which gives the scent a sparkly fresh edge., a bit of fruits but it is subtle, this isn’t a fruity raspberry bomb at all, I also detect the chypre accord in the heart of the scent, but so far, no caramel, so it is in a way a soft oriental, but to me more a fresh floral, I find it interesting, because of the chypre vibe. It isn’t overdone, longevity is ok, but the scent isn’t very strong..pleasant, feminine, it makes me think of Divina La Perla EDT, nice, pretty, easy to wear, nothing outstanding, but a bit different..
I am not real impressed with it, it is easy to wear, yet it lacks character.

How is this a floral oriental? Sounds like a floral gourmand.
