The story behind the bottle.
Christophe Raynaud created Bloom for Givenchy in 2013, positioning it as a fresh and juicy floral-fruit scent that captures the essence of elegance and femininity. The fragrance opens with a burst of raspberry, which introduces a gourmand and slightly salty note reminiscent of caviar. This gives way to a heart filled with the delicate scents of violet, iris, and Tahitian tiare flower, creating a bewitching floral bouquet. The base notes of woody tones, incense, and musk ground the composition, adding a touch of sophistication.
Apply Bloom with a light hand; its fruity top notes are fleeting but impactful. The floral heart takes center stage after about 30 minutes, so it’s best to let it develop naturally rather than layering heavily. This fragrance is perfect for daytime wear when you want a fresh and delicate scent.

Christophe Raynaud
Architect first, craftsman secondChristophe Raynaud is a perfumer who describes himself as a craftsman with the sensitivity of an artist. He begins each fragrance with a raw olfactory block, working for hours to shape it as a sculptor would — first as architect, then as craftsman.
“At first, I am the architect, and then I become the craftsman.”
