Glass Blooms
Glass Blooms by Régime des Fleurs is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with peony, lily of the valley and grape, moves into incense, tea rose and ylang-ylang and dries down to sandalwood, tonka bean and ambrette seed. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Peony Pink, watery and slightly peppery. Modern and inoffensive.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
- Grape Purple, candied, unmistakably artificial. Reads as sweet before fruit.
Heart
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Tea Rose A paler, greener rose. Less jam, more stem and fresh petal.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Ambrette Seed The only natural musk. Pear-like, warm and slightly boozy.
