Romantic Blossom
by Jeanne Arthes
Romantic Blossom is a bright, feminine fragrance with a delicate balance of fruity, floral, and vanilla accords. It opens with notes of black currant and mandarin orange, giving it a fresh yet sweet character reminiscent of peach tea or citrusy blossom. The heart features soft floral notes like rose and neroli, blended with a subtle musky and powdery base, creating a light, airy texture that feels elegant and unobtrusive. The dry down brings in warm vanilla, patchouli, and musk, adding depth without heaviness—giving it a soft, woody-sweet finish that remains subdued and wearable. It's widely seen as a gentle, crowd-pleasing alternative to Si Fiori, offering a lighter, more accessible version of that iconic scent with less complexity and fewer contrasts.
