A floral flight of a thousand fragrances from the Pays de Grasse.

Bel Air, in a contemporary interpretation, exalts the most exquisite flowers of Grasse in a sumptuous, luminous bouquet.

A fragrance in which Centifolia rose, jasmine, tuberose, iris, violet, and mimosa bloom sensuously, eternally. A genuine jewel of light, the bottle is a faithful replica of its predecessor, now tenderly tinged with coral. Bel Air, inspired by an idyllic garden, enchants the eye and heart with its petite pastel flask that radiates intensely bucolic beauty.

  • Key notes:
  • bergamot
  • jasmine
  • lemon
  • mandarin
  • Aromagroups:
  • citrusy

Perfumer: Michèle Saramito

A new addition to Bloom’s portfolio, an elegant cologne with sweet sun kissed citruses, honeyed neroli and amber background.

With classic formulas it’s the quality of the ingredients that matters. Marie Jeanne might be a new perfume house, but it’s founded by a young perfumer from a family connected to Robertet for several generations.

Robertet is a bit like De Beers of the fine natural perfume materials - matières premières, for decades they have been dealing with the finest, purest and most precious stuff a perfumer can dream of.

This is Marcelle, a classic elegant cologne but with highly likely the best bergamot from Italy, grapefruit from Spain, neroli from Tunisia and petigrain from Paraguay among other notes in the formula.

This is a bold, lactonic jasmine perfume with a distinct peachy nuance.

It’s sweet in a lovely fruity way, like jasmine bushes in full bloom on a balmy summer evening.

According to the brand, the fruity theme is one of the most popular with the Swedish (perhaps a northern nation craves the gifts of short summer, or the precious commodity of exotic fruit from faraway lands). That is why SweDoft's eponymous perfume is so lavishly fruity.

Klea opens with crisp mandarin and bergamot, while olive leaf adds an aromatic quality. As it warms on the skin, light and dewy floral notes of water lily, magnolia and jasmine reveal themselves. The citrus and florals intermingle with an aquatic sea salt note, reminiscent of warm skin drying in the sun after a dip in the sea. Papyrus and cedar ground the fragrance with a gentle woodiness, while amber, Egyptian musk and tonka bean add a softly regal quality.

Early morning, October 1175, Calabria

The cool night air dissipates under the sun’s first rays. The ripe citrus in the field has absorbed all the water of the morning dew and the farmers are ready to work on the misty green fields, speckled by the bright yellow of the citron. They leave their woody cabin and take a deep breath…

Delulu is a soft-focus dream sequence in oversaturated colours, swirling across a soundtrack of shoegaze and nineties/noughties indie.This particular sequence follows childhood into adolescence: a favourite toy, a pack of crayons, a melted sweet in your jeans pocket, a bite of berry pie, a long sunny day doing nothing. There’s fizzy cedrat and the salty-fresh friction of tart rhubarb against rooty vetiver. Like all dreams, things get weird: a niff of rosy plastic and smoky incense. Yesterday is a place you can never visit again, but it’s still an escape from tomorrow. That’s Delulu.

Delulu bottle caps are hand made from memories, specifically a nostalgic jumble of plastic beach toys captured in epoxy resin.

A pretty honeyed floral with some ambery background. Magnolias, violets, jasmine, ylang-ylang are all in the bouquet thrown on satin blanket of white musk and Siam benzoin.

The Sniff on Latin Lover by Carner:

"The [opening] florals recede into a pretty, flowery fug in the base of the scent, still heady, still very flowery, sweet and powerful, but the notes become less discernible from one another. The warmth remains and, at times, this perfume just really smells like sunshine on naked skin. On a cold, drizzly Yorkshire day this is indeed a joyous thing!"

About Joy by Dior by Dior

How does Joy by Dior differ from these similar fragrances?
Joy by Dior combines a balanced mix of fresh citrus, rich florals, and a woody musk base, including notes like patchouli and sandalwood, which provide depth and warmth. Many similar fragrances focus on subsets of these notes, often emphasising either the citrus-floral or woody musk aspects but rarely replicating the full complexity.
Which fragrances here are the closest match in terms of musk and woodiness?
Vetiver Santal and Bel Air share key woody and musky notes such as sandalwood, benzoin, and white musk, aligning closely with Joy by Dior’s warm base. Latin Lover also shares benzoin and musk elements, making these options suitable for those prioritising woody musk characteristics.
Are any of these fragrances more suitable for daytime wear compared to Joy by Dior?
Marcelle and L'Etrog Acqua feature lighter citrus and floral compositions with less emphasis on musk and wood, making them fresher and more suitable for daytime use. Swedoft’s sweet floral musk is also a softer, more casual alternative for day wear.
