Bottega Veneta Eau de Toilette vs Bloom Intense Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive gem. You've got an army of loyal fans utterly devastated by its discontinuation, waxing lyrical about its unique, sophisticated blend. But don't blind buy it - a vocal minority finds it too challenging, even 'disgusting'.
Divain's Bloom Intense dupe leans into the same heady white-floral heart of jasmine, tuberose and orange blossom as Gucci's original, though it lacks the real thing's rich, garden-in-full-bloom intensity and lasting power.
