Our verdict on Equinox Bloom: Favourite

Divisive, complex, and a touch peculiar, Equinox Bloom is either a sugared floral dream or a perplexing mess, depending on who you ask. It's an intriguing scent that dares to be different, earning both adoration and serious head-scratching.

About

Equinox Bloom opens with a green-tinged floral freshness of violet leaf and neroli, quickly ushering in a creamy, opulent heart of jasmine, frangipani, and orange blossom. This rich floral bouquet is then enveloped by a warm, almost gourmand sweetness of brown sugar and benzoin, all anchored by a soft, modern ambroxan hum. Imagine a sophisticated cream tea in a sun-drenched floral garden.
