This has an energizing smell to it. A freshness. Dare I say, a deodorant smell..?
I don’t see any similarities to the current lineup here in the ‘reminds me of’ category, but to each their own. Starts off a skin scent to me and totally disappears in less than 20 minutes. Even though this was only $9.99 for a huge bottle at the discount store, I feel like you would do better with a Bath and Body Works or Victoria’s Secret mist. I don’t dislike this, it just does not capture my attention at all, and disappears, after barely even being a whisper to begin with. I can’t even detect individual notes or any drydown (as this is gone in less than 20 minutes anyway), but the initial blast and about 5-10 minutes is just a fresh energizing deodorant type scent. So even if this did have any staying power or sillage, this fragrance is just not for me.. Meh!!! Next..!

I get a lot of vanilla in this one that really elevates the overall “Sunflowers” structure…thinking this one may be my favorite of all the flankers…there’s a bit of green in here too from the ivy…overall an affordable winner…

I picked this up over the weekend, TJ Maxx 3.3oz for $9.99. Its like biting into a warm, soft, ripe pear on the initial spray. After the pear dissipates its a soft, sweet, slightly green floral. I would spray it on your clothing if you wanted it to really last, as the silage and staying power are soft. I like violet and water lily note, and love hydrangeas and like the idea of this having hydrangea in it although they are not necessarily a heavy scent flower. Another good casual floral to keep you smelling girly as you go about your everyday business in the spring or summer. Defiantly non offensive for close quarters. Makes me think of a nice sunny New England Backyard garden with a koi pond, ivy, hydrangeas, water lilies and a pear tree 🙂

Is there coconut in this? I get a strong coconut lotion vibe from this and I’m LOVING it.
Anyway, this holds a lot in common with the original in a loosely defined way. The pear seems to be the major backdrop here, with soft white florals surrounding it. There’s an artificial sweetness to it, but I don’t mind it too much.
Quite beautiful, actually.

I’m a big fan of the original Sunflowers and Sunflowers Dream Petals so I decided to pick this up blind. This one is much more aquatic and softer – it’s a sweet floral aquatic. Wears very close to the skin. I don’t get anything I’d recognize as musk and I don’t get much in the way of powder either. It’s prominent floral and it has a bit of the same rose used in Dream Petals once it starts to dry down it does really remind me a bit of Dream Petals but not as sweet or musky. I’m not sure at the moment how often I’ll want to wear this. Part of the appeal with Sunflowers and Sunflowers Dream Petals is that they are strong and relatively long lasting (for what are essentially priced as body sprays.) Unfortunately, this one seems weak in comparison – reminds me a bit of Dolce and Gabbana L’Imperatrice in the beginning but much less fruity – or watered down in comparison I guess.

I’ll write a new review because I’m having a strange but good experience. I bought Summer In Bloom last Summer and it was just alright, I didn’t think the longevity was great but acceptable for a day Summer fragrance. I don’t live in a hot climate. I re-applied at least twice during the day last year, so I used up 1/2 a bottle of the 100ml in just under 4 months.
Today was very cool (not exactly cold) for an April day. I’ve been wearing SIB for over 12 hours now and if I snif my wrist, it’s still there. Not Sparkly, but softer and more refined. That was a surprise. I didn’t notice that last year.

Just like Dort0625, I gave it another try after being thoroughly disappointed with it at the beginnig.
Supposedly summer fragrance, it was too sweet, bland and soapy, not a quality I like in my summer perfumes.
It stayed on my shelf for over a year, used only a couple of times during the hot season, with ill effect.
Until now 🙂
Turns out- it’s a perfect early spring perfume! Somehow the nauseating sweetness turnes into delicate freshness, with flowery scents, very lovely and refreshing (although wishy-washy and syrupy when it’s hot outside XD)
The only thing that stayed the sime is the longevity; I have to apply generous amounts to smell it on me, and reapply it every couple of hours.

Okay I owe this perfume an apology and second review!!! Summer Bloom it was wrong of me to review you after such a short experience with you, and to out you on the back of my perfume shelf to never look at you again lol that is until the other day. So all of my favs and go to scents were empty one day last week so I had to decide on a new one to wear for the day and I chose this, no particular reason…So I sprayed it on, and as I did last time I thought it was nicebut this time I gave it a real chance. I wore it all day like i normally would, reapplying multiple times throughout the day. I went to Walmart and one of the gals working as me what I was wearing and then within the next hour I was out I had four other ppl ask me! So when I went home I gave myself another few sprays before bed and fell asleep smelling it and wow I love this stuff like serious love. It nothing unbelievably ground breaking but it’s so beautiful and pretty! I’m so far from a “girly girl” , like covered in tattoos rock some crazy hair and listen toloud metal music but I still love this!!!

Fresh fresh fresh! This is quite sharp to my nose. Would be great for summer BUT possibly headache inducing. In my opinion this smells just like Daisy by marc jacobs, instantly when I sprayed this I recognized the scent! So, if you love daisy you might like this one and its more afforadable 🙂

Like light flowers. I was lucky to find it. It reminds me of a young girl’s perfume in decorative bottles in the old days…only difference is that this one lasts longer!

I did me some perfume shopping tonight 🙂 woot woot!!!! I went to winners and on an unrelated to this post kind of note, last !Onth I bought two three piece gift sets at winners for 59.99 and today they were on clearance for 25 dollars!!!! Arrrrrrrrrrg!!!! Lol anywho…Back to my review….I had wanted to try this for a while now and so glad I found it. There obviously wasn’t a tester so it was a blind buy, but I’m pleased with it. It was 16.99 for the 100ml bottle. I will say one thing that…. Surprised me…..I can smell the vanilla a lot. Like, a lot a lot a lot! I was expecting with a name like summer bloom that it would be a very floral, or citrus, fresh type scent ya know what I mean? It actually smells very similar to FCUK Late Nights, which isn’t a terrible thing but it’s not my idea of a spring or summer scent so while I do like it, I’m slightly disappointed with this. Only because I was so hoping the would be a beautiful spring type scent. But again, for $16.99 CAD I can’t bitch n whine too much lol

Now I know that for many people the Elizabeth Arden name conjures up old ladies that sit at the front of buses in groups eating mints, but I like their products.
This is very different to the original, which you love or hate, this is a lot more easy going, softer, but very good. A nice and light floral, with something unusual going on, almost fruity? Maybe it’s that Ivy note, I can’t pin it down.
For the price, this is perfect for everyday Summer use, stock up.

When you buy something for 15 USD 100 ml, your expectation should’t be the same as when you are buying Chanel. However, I found it fresh and fruity and using it as a kind of body mist after shower, and for 5 min grocery shopping around the corner. Somehow, I can not leave the house (even for 5 min) without putting some scent on, and I will hardly put my Chanel or Dior just for taking over fedex package. I always have some kind of perfume like this, and EA Sunflower Summer Bloom do its job perfectly. The only reason I treated it “badly” is its longevity, scent itself is quite charming if you like those fresh-aquatic-floral scent. It is not classy, but nighter cheep. It is simply nice summer scent.

I’ll be honest and admit that this purchase was a mix-up, but not the worst of its kind. I’d intended to buy Petals but my phone rang, I got distracted and grabbed the wrong one. 100ml edt for 120 DKkroner/Euro 16,12. Not a bad price! Bloom is a “warm” fruity-floral scent on me, though it’s described as floral-green here. If there had been a noticeable green note in it, I’d have had to pass up based on my skin chemistry. Bloom isn’t as sparkly as Petals which I might’ve preferred but at this time of the year, most people seem to prefer fruity-floral fragrances on me with a faint sweet base.
Bloom has a base combination that always works with my skin chemistry and the projection is so faint that it’s always safe. I realize I won’t be making statements with this one and when people are struggling to get through a hot day, like today with 28C and high humidity or 82F, I hardly think people have the energy to notice anyone else.
I’ve only worn it for 3 hours now but it’s held up through two hand washes. So, so far so good. I won’t complain if it doesn’t last much longer at this price. I might update this review.
If you can wear the original then I think you should because it’s more unique imo. If you like sparkly and less sweet, then I’d recommend Petals. Try first though; the fragrances might bring out entirely different notes on your skin.:)

Well I hate to say it, maybe this is better than the original to most people but I found it to be the most boring thing I have ever smelled. If you thought Pretty was boring this one out does that on the boring factor. Yes it is a pleasant smell but honestly I couldn’t tell you what it reminds me of because it was just so generic. At least the original Sunflowers had no shame and was very unique love it or hate it! This one on the other hand, hmmmm NOPE.

I gave to my daughter from 8 years old, as her 1rst perfume…she loved and I liked also! nice light summmer scent…uplifting…I also think it´s better than the original.

This is a hundred times better than the first sunflowers fragrance which has a very unpleasant smell to it that I dislike,but the summer bloom version is a pretty sweet fruity floral which is great for anyone who likes light and sweet fragrances also it only cost me around twenty Australian dollars so your getting a great perfume for a great price,overall a vast improvement from the original sunflowers and recommend this if you didn’t like the original because these are worlds apart.

Im wearing this one now. I love summery light yellow scents though I don’t own many. I did like the original but I felt it was a “perume-y” this one is a lot more natural. I love real sunflowers and they do have a subtle scent. I also love freesia which is not listed but something reminds me of it? Maybe the water lily.

LeahP9 – 2022-06-30:

This is much nicer than the original. A lovely light floral. However, not many places are stocking it and I’m finding only one or two places that sell it even online. If this were more widely available it could be a big seller.

I bought this yesterday. It completes my collection of the ‘Sunflowers’ range. it is nothing like ‘Sunflowers’ but it is delightful none the less. I have only tried this in the store and will probably not open the package until closer to summer. It’s winter here in Melbourne, so the richer more spicier scents are being enjoyed by me.
I look forward to reviewing this this comming summer, but from what I tried yesterday, and its not really fair to say that I can say anything. However I love it.
I can see why when I look at the notes. It’s just plain lovely. Reminds me of my very expensive Bvlgari II, mind you I was able to at the time purchase my two bottles respectively of the 50 mill and the 30 mill Bvlgari II EDP’s for under 20. aussie dollars. Right place right time sort of thing.
So if you are looking for something along those lines then this is the right fragrance for you.
Cheers T.

Today I bought my first real summer perfume and I like it. Very fresh but with a lot of feminine flower notes, I’m glad that there’s no real green and also no citrus in it. But there is one in the same line that has those notes for whomever is looking for that kind of fragrance. I can recommend these summer fragrances on a hot summer like this.

This fragrance is no where near as sweet/cloying/sickening like the original. Instead this is a rather floral/green/fresh smelling with a hint of fruit. You can really smell the ivy in this which actually smells quite good. This also reminds me a tiny bit of the original Gucci Flora. This is a perfectly safe scent for daily wear.
