Does anyone else feel like there’s no time? Not enough time? I mean, yes there’s time to write this but the rest of the time it’s running between work and home, meals and snacks, the grocery store, the post office and everything else. I’m finding myself to be a little spent, but still making time to read this and write, and watch White Lotus (I’m on episode 5, don’t ruin it for me).
Anyway, I’m enjoying Gucci Bloom which I could write off as a boring white floral but I also kind of love that it gave white florals to the masses, because many of you have told me that you like this and a few teens have told me they like this too. It’s a jasmine/tuberose combo and I get a bit of sweetness in there too. Maybe something sticky-sweet like compote or jam or honey, but it’s also in the background and not right up top.
I can’t help but reflect on the fact that Alessandro Michele brought this classic old-school aesthetic to Gucci but also made it whimsical and fun, and will that go away now that he’s out of Gucci? The apothecary-style bottles, the gold, the perfume waters, luxurious yet essential…
Anyway, Gucci Bloom is fun and keeps things light and easy.
