i don’t think i should write reviews for celebrity fragrances. They’re all the same! Cheap/i’ve smelled this before somewhere
Leninsk – :
Oh wow I just love this one!! It’s happy and fruity and floral and fresh! The dry down is beautiful. On my skin it makes me smell super clean but not soap clean more as if I bathed in flower water. Florals aren’t my favorite but this is divine!
It’s not the longest lasting perfume but it’s cheap enough to spray and spray throughout the day.I’m going to start buying and hoarding bottles of this! Lol! I’m about Jessica’s age…35..and I feel like this is a familiar sent from my adolescence. It’s such a happy uplifting scent.
Anya1686 – :
Oh Jessica. You are the queen of celebrity perfumes.
First of all, the bottle is so pretty and compact. Second, this is the only floral fragrance I like enough to purchase again. I impulse bought it at Marshalls knowing that Jessica Simpson never fails to impress me. As expected, she impressed me.
I don’t smell any of the citrus notes, which is a bummer because I love citrusy notes. However, that doesn’t take anything away from the fragrance. It’s floral, musky, warm and slightly sweet fruit. I don’t know if the name is giving me some kind of placebo effect, but it gives me a sense of nostalgia. I can’t pinpoint where the nostalgia is coming from.
When I wear this fragrance, it makes me feel girly, but it’s not like the typical youthful girly perfumes that smell like sugar. I don’t feel like a 12-year-old wearing this. I feel like an ultra-feminine and sophisticated version of my 22-year-old self.
It first sprays fresh, flowery and slightly warm. Then it gets a bit sweet and flowery and then it dries down musky with a little bit of flower left. I am shocked I like this because it smells way more floral on me than the notes describe, but I love it. I usually hate florals unless they are light white flowers in majority sweet scents. This is more floral with a very very small touch of sweet. The quite opposite of my comfort zone. None the less it is beautiful.
Overall, I give this a 8/10. I can’t give it a 10/10 because it’s floral. I don’t think floral fragrances will ever be my fav, but this is so far the best floral for me. I adore this.
plq369Diobtetty – :
This is pretty, both bottle and scent. Gently old fashioned florals+ slightly musky. I love. most of Jessica’s fragrances. I only wish it lasted a bit longer and was a bit stronger.
Js10 – :
If you like Nina from Nina Ricci you will love this one! To me they are almost identical!! Love them both. Used to wear Nina when I was 16. Vintage Bloom is as gorgeous as Nina NR! And I do recommend and will definitely repurchase Vintage Bloom again! It’s a well made fragrance by celebrity which has a quite interesting composition unlike other celebrity fragrances. It has honestly exceeded my expectations! I wouldn’t expect crazy longevity but I like it this way. I love it for those days when I don’t want to smell really sophisticated, although I do really think it’s a good quality perfume! Love the bottle as well! Really happy with my purchase!
na_techike – :
I love this so much that I do not want to use up the bottle for fear of never having it in my possession again. This smells faintly of smoke and flowers. I find this so sexy on my skin. It lasts a long time and does not change after the first 5 minutes of wear. I am wearing it in the summer and will wear it in every season. It does not have an aggressive throw even after several applications. I have also layered this with Library of Flowers True Vanilla by spraying Vintage Bloom all over my body (not clothing and not wrist and hands) and True Vanilla on my wrist and top of hand.
abobireri – :
I finally have this gem in my collection! Oh it is divine! First came to my mind was Live by JLO…it actually smells like it probably because of the vibrant mixture of fruits in it and then mellows into lovely floral…but the hint of sweet fruits are still there.
This is my new signature scent by Jessica Simpson. I love most of her perfumes because they are sweet in a not so cloying way, their sweetness are very comforting and lovely. I used to have fancy and fancy love and I really fell in love with those perfumes…now this divine juice in a vintage like bottle is just pure elegance. Very Beautiful.
I give it 10/10 because it smells so good and it lasts a long time. It lasts on my clothes for a good 11-12 hours! What a high quality fragrance from a celebrity scent!
Jessica Simpson did a good job on this one…AGAIN!
I am really hoping she will make a flanker of this one…
svm2010 – :
I don’t really smell any citrus except maybe as a tart edge to the fragrance. Then again, I am applying from a sample dabber, and I feel like you don’t really get to experience the top notes when using dabbers. Just prior to the drydown, I smelled some similarities to Taylor Swift Taylor…if Taylor had more depth, complexity, and musk (Taylor smells like apricot water). I do smell the similarities with Nina Ricci Nina, but obviously Vintage Bloom lacks the apple note that Nina is known for. Overall, I’m really enjoying Vintage Bloom. Applied liberally to my arms, it has better projection than most celeb and non-designer fragrances.
AdobeCS – :
To my nose this has a strong resemblance to Paris Hilton “Siren”
Beautiful and light with minimal projection and zero longevity. Very affordable so I don’t mind reapplying often. Fresh and feminine and highly addictive. She starts out with a fizzy citrus opening.The heart is barely there florals.The dry down woody and sweet with a “skin” musk finish. I’m really enjoying this little beauty just wish she lasted longer.

You had me at “Spring Day in a Bottle”…
This starts with a very strong dose of lemon… citrus –
A High Pitched Soprano – Sweet Smell
I smelled this once at an Ulta – and didn’t purchase it.
What a mistake that was.
This was heavenly. I loved the way this wore on my skin – but for some reason, I didn’t purchase it.
I’m so glad to find it on ebay – at a decent price.
Can’t wait to wear this for the spring!
It lingered in my mind as being a very nice musky spring fragrance.
Like people have said, sometimes you have to overlook the fact that this is a celebrity scent – and wear this as your own.
If it is true to other scents –
It will wear differently on most every skin and chemistry.
————
This has passed the “guy test”….
I love trying a few perfumes at the same time and then having my male friends tell me which ones they like the best. This perfume was the choice of the day – and the look in my friend’s eyes was what gave this away. You know that you are onto a great fragrance when it has a spellbound effect on them as they smell your arm – then look into your eyes. “This is THE ONE”…
You can’t get any better than that!
————
Length of wear…
This fragrance wears about seven hours on my skin. At first, I thought that this was fleeting – but actually, it has good staying power. The trick to this is to not wear this on a day when you are comparing this to a super strong, long lasting fragrance. This is NOT an Estee Lauder (or 80’s era) knock you over the head fragrance. It is gentle. It won’t last 15 hours – but then again, this fragrance is so wonderful that I don’t mind buying a small purse sized spray to put this in and refresh throughout the day. It is at such a reasonable price that I don’t mind splurging like this.
This fragrance is alluring, gently and subtly sexy. It beckons you…and calls you in.
The more I wear this – the more I love it!
I’m so glad that I followed my hunches and ordered this!
I should have bought it a couple of years ago – when I first tried it!
Don’t wait — this is a GOOD ONE!
———-
This is in the same family of notes as my favorite fragrance – Eau Du Ceil – by Annick Goutal. That fragrance is truly wonderful, but only lasts on my skin a total of two hours, max. It was super expensive – and I couldn’t justify spraying it multiple times a day just to reapply.
It is wonderful to find another fragrance with the overall similar effect. I adore Eau Du Ceil – it is truly magical but very difficult to find — and VERY EXPENSIVE. So glad to find something similar – at a more reasonable price!
———–
If you like this fragrance – I recommend that you also try Rare Pearls by Avon. They are enough different to this that you can justify the purchase of both. Vintage Bloom is more lemon/citrus – and Rare Pearls is more magnolia and floral. Both are very romantic, soft, alluring, and subtly sexy.
b.b.b – :
This is a super pretty scent…and very wearable. I think it would be appropriate for the office, a lunch date or everyday wear. When I spray it I get the peony right away, which is bright and cheerful. After about 30 minutes it turn into a mellow and lovely citrus (not a D&G Light Blue blast…VB is super delicate). The scent reminds me of some of the classic perfumes of the 70’s, but I think anyone at any age could pull this off. This lasted about 6 hours on me…and I am very conservative with my application. For the price, it is certainly worth a sniff.
михаил0987654321 – :
Wow! I left a recent review where I stated that there are similarities between Vintage Bloom and Nina by Nina Ricci. That was based on my memory of the original Nina. But then today I purchased a bottle of it for the first time in years. And like I said Wow! Now that I have both bottles to truly compare, they are SO close. There are vague differences, but I would be surprised if Jessica Simpson wasn’t actually trying to duplicate. V.B. is still weaker but it’s uncanny how alike they are.
denis2x – :
Light bright florals with peony upfront. Luckily I do not smell distinct citrus but rather they cut the sharpness of the florals. There was a slight sweetness that tempered any citrus. This is perfect for a spring day. It sits closely to the skin. Like the flowers, it’s beautiful but fleeting as it gone after just a couple of hours.
The bottle is beautiful and looks lovely on my shelf. I find the cap odd. I didn’t have a pretty spring floral so this fills a hole in my collection. It reminds me of a body spray in intensity so I am already worried about going through it too quickly since it is discontinued
ahmed77 – :
Lovely bottle indeed, but the juice is barely there after 1 hour. I will try it again for the spring and summer, maybe it will have better projection an staying power then…
The scent starts off with a zesty lime and it is fresh and beautiful. The peony is also very beautiful and delicate. I think this is about to be expired soon, many web shops have already discontinued the Vintage Bloom, so if you really love this one, grab a bottle before it is gone. I do love the scent, it is very cheerful and feminine, but as I mentioned, it do not last for long and you have to re spray it several times a day, which sometimes is ok, because you do not want to smell like a power house in the spring/summer, just beautiful and fresh.
maddom92 – :
I ordered this specifically because of the reviews comparing it to the original Nina by Nina Ricci. I love all of the various Nina fragrances! Well I was surprised when Vintage Bloom ($15 For the largest bottle on Ebay!) was actually reminiscent of Nina. Of course it’s not a perfect match…it’s a bit weaker in both sillage and longevity, and not as multidimensional/interesting. But it’s still lovely. It’s very light, refreshing, and sweet. I pick up the lime, lemon, raspberry bloom, and peony notes. I never noticed any musk or sandalwood. The dry down never really changed anything. All in all, I would repurchase this at such a low price. But I will also continue to buy Nina.
jzi326speagoessenda – :
This is absolutely beautiful. I was pleasantly surprised. Good longevity and sillage. This smells like a beautiful, happy spring day in a bottle. I dont think you can go wrong blind buying this. I love it and most def will rebuy it.
matroskin_73 – :
I really love this one! I didn’t care for Fancy, it was just too sugary. But this one isn’t painfully sweet, it’s a very nice light floral with just the right amount of fruitiness. I couldn’t believe how nice it was considering I paid only $5 for the 1.7 oz bottle, but this is surprisingly well blended and very feminine. I get tons of compliments every time I wear it out. I don’t think you can go wrong here, even in a blind buy! Longevity and sillage are fabulous too.
slava95 – :
So if you ignore that it’s a ‘celebrity’ scent, and it has association with Jessica Simpson, they you can actually appreciate that this is a great scent, especially at that price point. This is an all year fragrance that I’d love to smell if I was up close to a woman, it’s clean without being boring.
Nice to have that fresh lemon/lime smell as opposed to the excessive florals that so many women’s fragrances have.
pitermod – :
Oops! I guessed lily of the valley, green apple, pear and light tuberose with a touch of rose. Guess my nose is not so great when I don’t look at the notes first.
amm77 – :
I made the purchase because so many had said it smelled like Nina Nina Ricci.
Nope! Not at all! Not even the slightest bit close!
I love Nina,I been wearing it for many years.
While this perfume is not bad ,it doesn’t hold a candle to Nina.
I smell floral and soap.For the price it’s Okay but there are cheaper ones out there that are better.
maksimka8000 – :
There is a distinct thickish, gourmand sweet dough smelling middle and base that is surprising after the first citrus notes burn off.
I was expecting a sort of vintage white flowers scent throughout but no. This is not even old fashioned but thoroughly modern. Not my favorite of her scents. I like Fancy and the other Fancy flankers but this is not a good direction, although it’s not a bad scent overall.
andriy903 – :
I like it but it smells like a cheaper version of Jennifer Lopez love & light.

Jessica Simpson Vintage Bloom,
As the Summer’s heat is now upon me… The hot, humid, God-Awful Sticky weather. I wanted something light, airy, and well, I’m on a Lemon/Linden Blossom kick. However, I did not want to invest a car payments worth into a bottle of perfüme …{this time, anyway}. So, I typed in “Lemon Blossom” into an online search engine for an online perfüme seller. Viôlé;, … Vintage Bloom was on the top three. I liked the notes, LOVED the price tag. I figured even if I didn’t care for it the bottle was lovely would look nice on the vanity and it would be safe enough to use as a linen spray. It came, I liked, I wear.
It’s very citrus {lemon} it smells like fine homemade lemonade the kind where someone throws in a couple of lime slices & a couple of bags of Camomille tea. That’s EXACTLY what Vintage Bloom smells like. Lemon, lightly floral, with a bit a “dusty” smell. Just enough to give it that vintage scent. I wouldn’t say this perfüme knocked my socks off. But, it was surprisingly nice for a cheapie celebrity scent. I have to say, this perfüme is nice on it’s own. But, layers very well with other perfümes. I have layered it with:
Jessica McClintock #1, Versace EROS femme, and FLORIS white rose.
Vintage Bloom really added a nice Mid-Late Summer’s Citrusy feel to these other perfümes.Maybe not the most intoxicating fragrance. But, definately interesting and fun. Nice, light, lemon type floral for sizzling hot sticky humid summer days when you want a little spritz of something but nothing too heavy. Surprisingly, I have gotten quite a few compliments while wearing it.
energyaxel – :
I don’t think this smells like everything else out there at all. To be honest I bought it cheap and sort of forgot I even had it until I asked coworker what that beautiful perfume was she was wearing. When she said Vintage Bloom I was thrilled as it occurred to me that it’s sitting pretty much untouched on my dressing table. So I’m now wearing it and loving it. I can see the similarity to Nina Ricci but it’s less sticky and more watery if that makes any sense. Either way I love them both but Vintage Bloom is a much cheaper alternative. If you like florals definitely give this a try as it is an underrated affordable lovely perfume. Like a spring day in a bottle.
sqh273Negeltzex – :
I don’t find this “vintage” but this is actually spicier floral that reminds me of early 90s fragrances. I don’t think its heavy but its not watery and light either. Its sunny and warm, with a bit of spice.
I tend to wear it together with other florals to be honest. I worn it with original Juicy Couture. And also with Intuition by Estee Lauder. I think perhaps on its own its a bit soft for me but I find it more unique than lot of fragrances on the market today
buywowgoldfki – :
I am wearing this right now and I must say, it is a very light fragrance, barely there type scent but it is quite lovely. I got a great after Christmas sale with the 3.4 oz. bottle with the pretty ‘ole fashioned spritzer to put on the top of the large bottle, a small purse sprayer that can be refilled, a makeup bag with a purple flower, and a nice size lotion. I love the box it came in also. It is a large hard case box with lovely flowers on the top. I plan on using it for my pearl stringing. Back to the perfume. I really find it a pleasing scent with a bit of comfort included. I cannot see how anyone would find this scent to be offensive. I think this is a great perfume for relaxing in my fussy p.j.’s in front of a warm fire. I had sampled this fragrance before so I knew it was a floral, and I knew it was not a strong smelling perfume. I have wanted to add it to my wardrobe of scents for a long time but for some reason never come across a good deal until today. I do not smell any citrus, lemon or lime but perhaps it is blended so well as to not notice. I do smell the berry note and maybe even vanilla, although it is not listed as an ingredient. I find the bottle to be attractive in a lacy kind of way, and I love the pink squeeze spritzer on the top of the bottle. I am not sure how long it will last so I will add that later if needed.
ilik54 – :
This is underrated. It’s reminiscent of something,can’t place it, perhaps from childhood. Jessica has some really nice fragrances. I just got out of the shower, put on my cozy PJ’s, watching a movie, spraying this and I’m in heaven. I see this at Tj’s and Marshalls, big bottle for $15, gift set for $20, and I can’t resist. If I could describe it in one word, it would be pretty, very pretty. Love this goodie.
jagernaut – :
I get a lot of citrus and vanilla not so much floral. Which to me is weird because the name of the perfume is vintage bloom. Very nice, just (to me) misnamed). I think of vintage flowers as roses or peonies, or something. I do not smell peony. Very cheerful scent though. And I like it. cute bottle, and very reasonably priced, good value.
later Edit: I layer this with Elizabeth Arden “Red Door Revealed” which is a powder rose fragrance and this is a very nice combination for me.
CristRon09 – :
First of all, I thought some part of the bottle would be frosted but it wasn’t.
It’s light in the air, very citrusy and floral. I’ve got to try it a few times more, at different times, to form my exact opinion but based on what I felt today, now, I’m quite pleased. (Unfortunately) it fades easily in the air but it seems to last on fabric and also it’s more intensive (maybe because it lasts) on fabric. It’s basically just a mix of the listed notes with very intensive citrus notes followed by florals and lastly raspberry bloom + the base notes.
I think I’d prefer this in small doses and as light as possible even though it’s a very nice blend.
myhajlyk – :
When I sprayed this, it did somewhat remind me of Bath and Body works country chic, since that had already been pointed out to me in other reviews of this perfume. But the more I thought about it, to my surprise, Vintage Bloom also reminds me a tiny bit of a blend of Avon’s Luck, and Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede. I have both of those perfumes. And, while the two smell nothing alike themselves, there is something in here that is just a tiny bit reminiscent of both fragrances. (Not very much so, though, because it took me a long time to pinpoint what all it reminded me of). But if you know those perfumes, and if you are really looking for it, maybe you would think the same thing? Maybe not?
Yu-King – :
There is a definite trace of cigarette pack just opened. I can’t get rid of feeling this note in this perfume.
ikzggf – :
Dusty nondescript flowers and some generic sweet fruitiness. I would never be able to recognize this on someone because it just smells like any body spray from any drugstore. This is the perfume equivalent of Jessica Simpson’s vocal talent. Make what you want of that comparison 😉 While we’re comparing the two, it also has a similar longevity to her career.
spa198JeomiWogkig – :
Fresh citrucy, vanilla perfume with a hint of flowers.Suitable for hot summer days.Its a refreshing pleasent perfume,but nothing special.The bottle is gorgeous!
demon072 – :
I finally bought this after seeing for a great price many times. I’m glad I waited but I’m also happy I have it. It’s nice but nothing special. Very floral and the name is 100% accurate of the smell. It really reminds me of something you find in a vintage store. In a good way. I was surprised to see there is no patchouli in here because I get a small whiff of it. It also reminds me of Britney Spears Believe but way more floral. Longevity is great. Got a lot of compliments on this one. But again nothing special to me. Great for my collection but won’t purchase again. Look for a deal on this one.
igaryokk – :
I belive this one turns easily. I’ve smelled it and sampled it in many stores but purchased it through an online discounter. I do not think it’s mine is a fake but it’s smells very much of pine and the top notes are completely off. I’ve been sampling for a few days just to make sure that it’s not my nose. I’m disappointed but wanted to warn others to only buy a bottle you can smell first or return if it’s gone off.
rizon – :
Wow, I get almost zero citrus with this, except maybe the first few seconds (although I would have liked more citrus – I prefer refreshing florals). Afterwards, it settles into a sweet and musky floral that, if sprayed too close to the face, threatens to be too heady and pungent for me, such that it could trigger a headache. However, when applied to the wrists and torso, this is lovely. Not a summer fragrance for me.
Edited in June of 2018 – I have grown to love this one, especially the hint of smoke I get. It doesn’t last too long on me – ~4 hours, so I wear it when I know I will have to change up perfumes for some reason in the middle of the day.
donbass – :
This smells almost identical to Bath and Body Works Country Chic! The only slight differences are, Vintage bloom has a light citrus floral vibe to it followed by a warmness that is provided by the base notes of sandalwood and musk! County Chic is a brighter fresher interpretation. If I’m honest, I much prefer it over Vintage Bloom…. When layered together though, the smell is divinely sunshine… ..Warm and Bright!
kinonlinekino – :
This is a nice fresh fragrance and the bottle is gorgeous. I just don’t think it’s special enough for me to purchase. It is light and fresh, reminds me a lot of Kim K Fleur Fatale actually.
komet84 – :
i found a huge bottle of this red sticker clearanced to 10$ at marshalls so I had to get it based on that alone. This is 90% nina ricci in the red apple bottle and 10% mariah carey luscious pink. I don’t smell peony or lime. I get a baked golden delicious apple with cedar. go figure. its really quite good if you like nina ricci, you can’t beat it for the price. also, the name of the perfume makes no sense, nothing vintage or blooming about this scent at all! very young, fruity and tart : ) a definite like from me.
kewi2012 – :
I’m not usually a floral fan in perfumes (love smelling flowers in gardens!) but grabbed Vintage Bloom at Marshall’s clearance table, attracted to the pretty box. I like it a lot! It’s not just another synthetic floral musk–the “floral” component is truly delicate, light, and pure…even the citrus note is very well blended, fresh and bright. There’s a touch of the old body powder Shower to Shower somewhere in there! The sweetness is very demure, but present. I’m fascinated by the beautifully blended result of all the notes in this one. Not all floral, not citrusy, not noticeably sandalwood, just its own unique very feminine scent. The dry down is a lovely powdery freshness. Delightful!
lunnatik2 – :
Floral, citrus, and musk. A clean, happy scent. Nicely balanced. Great for the office. Smells modern, not “vintage”, but that’s ok. Pretty bottle! Well worth the inexpensive price tag.
Venya – :
Well…where to start! I had VERY high hopes for this one. With many people saying it smells kind if like Nina ricci.. Which I happen to live. I gotta say, to my sniffer this smells nothing like Nina. The name is suiting…vintage bloom….it certainly smells vintage, and not in a good way, more like that perfume from the late 80s early 90s that have left a bottle untouched since it cane ou . I was really disappointed by this, and actually all of her fragrances I have smelled are all awful, not bad…TERRIBLE!
sva275speagoessenda – :
I received a small decant sample of this with another fragrance purchase and finally tried it today.
This is lovely! It does truly have a “vintage” floral smell to me. Maybe it comes from the earthy notes I’m picking up.
It’s a little sweet smelling (raspberry bloom??) but mostly it is a pleasant smelling floral. The peony is there but is not heavy.
Unlike other reviewers, I get NO citrusy or fresh notes but I still really enjoy this fragrance. I might need to buy the big bottle (which looks gorgeous!)
MaXon51 – :
Got a mini of this from my mom today.Kmart special! 😉
I actually think this is nice. Very floral,bright,and lovely. Vintage…not sure on that! lol…maybe sorta kinda.
Will test some more and see what happens with longevity,etc
As it is now,,very nice ,kinda reminds me of a floral ive tried,but cant pinpoint it yet.
short_address – :
This perfume is nice for a celebrity perfume.
Dube: Nina Richi for women
Adjectives: sweet, feminine, casual.
Good for when you’re wearing: jeans and a t-shirt, summer/spring dress.
I’m not a huge fan of celebrity perfumes but I’ve smelt a lot of them and this one stands out because it’s not typical. I find a lot of them to be too sweet, too overwhelming, forgettable, cheap smelling or too strange. This one however is nice, so I bought it. I think the name suites the perfume without smelling like something an old lady would wear. The bottle is cute the smell is floral and creamy.
no_lamers – :
I seem to be getting something very different from the other reviews, but I suppose this is what makes perfume interesting – it’s different for everyone.
Maybe it’s the scent’s name playing subliminal tricks on my brain, but this scent brings to mind flowers that have been pressed between the pages of an old, dusty book. For me, that is a lovely image and part of why I am loving this scent. When I wear this, I get that dusty, almost earthy note in between the light floral. I tried to pick out the notes before checking Fragrantica, and I would’ve sworn this contained some kind of a smokey note, but no.
I love this scent. I’ve passed it by several times at TJ Maxx, thinking it couldn’t be as good as her Fancy line. Carrielwin’s review made me finally take the plunge, and while it’s certainly different than anything Fancy, it’s really lovely.
On me this lasts several hours, especially if I mist a bit on my shirt. I can still catch whiffs of it after 8 hours. Great blind buy.
jyra.schajko – :
This is a pretty, feminine and dainty scent. Unfortunately it’s also forgettable. I can’t pick apart any notes, I just know it’s a soft floral. Lasts all of thirty minutes. It’s a shame because the bottle is lovely. With ‘Vintage’ in it’s name I expected strong notes of pink and white flowers like what you see in Victorian era paintings. It will be perfect for those who complain about ‘loud’ perfumes. This whispers delicately.
bbbzzzjjjccc – :
I bought this precisely coz it’s a dupe of Ninna Ricci, I love that one but there was always a slight clash with my body chemistry, I decided to try this one to see it if it might work, well no luck. Well correction– it dissipated before I could truly find out. Initial shot is great but I kid you not its gone in half an hour 🙁 very uncharacteristic of a JS perfume
Save your money, just buy Nina Ricci

I stumbled across this today and i am delighted that I did! It’s like showering in a field of beautiful spring flowers. This is my new holy grail of perfumes it has set the bar way high. Fresh, clean and floral- spring time in a bottle, lives up to its awesome name- sooo good!!!
levkin3 – :
Gave it to my cousin. It is soooo much like Nina ricci on my skin. Me no like that ‘ Red Apple’. Plus, I get the cigarette smoke vibe with perfume just like Rihanna Nude. Why does that happen? Skin chemistry amazes me still and always will.
My couz LOOOVES this. 🙂
SoxSispNism – :
I got a sample of this last year from Perfumania and I thought it smelled a lot like Beyonce’s Heat Rush/Escada’s Taj Sunset….I’m a sucker for free shipping & saw that Scent Monkey had it after I placed a freaking order yesterday! Anyway I browsed to see if I could find an inexpensive gift set & there popped up Vintage Bloom for $7.63!!! I live in hot,humid ass Louisiana;the weather here will surely bring out VB’s longevity & sillage. If not,I’ll spray the hell out of it,3.4 ounces;lotion & mini for almost 8 bucks!
Update…..this is very different on my skin when I first
tried it last year! Very lemon pledge,idk;hope it grows on me!
*Update 4/22/15*
It was reviewed that Vintage Bloom smells good on fabric!
I 100% agree….it has definitely grown on me,on clothing that is….
akm31051972 – :
I bought this fragrance partly because it was on sale, and there was something I liked about it at the time. Since then, I have realized I was drawn in by the branding… the smell is pretty lame.
The smell is geared towards a younger audience. It smells like lemon/lime soda with a very faint scent of peony.
While the smell itself is not altogether horrible, it is very boring, and the scent fades quickly. Ten sprays can’t make it last six hours. And the smell itself is so blase, besides, that you don’t even get an interesting hour or two out of it.
While the smell didn’t bring about outright hatred from me, the branding did. The bottle and packaging try to catch “vintage,” “hippie,” “romantic,” types. The box was covered in faded florals, and the bottle has a curvature that looks older stylistically, dated.
The branding appealed to me at the time of purchase, but it does not anymore; I feel like they took advantage of stereotypes I bought into without giving me what I had established as reasons I liked those stereotypes.
Especially that “vintage” or “old” style is an indicator of a deeper experience or meaning behind it is not true with this product. It is a below average perfume.

It’s a sweet pretty floral with an addicting sandalwood musk base.I just love that signature sandalwood musk in the bases of her perfumes.wow!
