Our take
What does Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming smell like?
François Demachy composed Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming in 2016 as a flanker within the Miss Dior line. It shouldn't be confused with Blooming Bouquet, the much lighter eau de toilette from two years earlier. This is the fruitiest opening in the family. Pomegranate, raspberry and blackcurrant burst together, and pink pepper adds a little sting. Picture a red-fruit sorbet served too early, still hard. The heart goes back to the Miss Dior floral signature. Peony and May rose, also called centifolia, are fresh and sugary. The base is nothing more than a clean musk. That may be its weakness: without wood or amber to anchor it, the scent stays on the surface. Dior doesn't say whether it is still made, and some sites list it as discontinued.
When to wear it
Spring and summer, daytime or weekends. Three sprays, since the musky base is quiet.
It belongs to the Floral, Fruity family. Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming is one of 72 creations by Dior in our encyclopedia.
