Covet Pure Bloom (for women)

mirnescio

I've ordered this perfume online, because i couldn't find it anywhere, and was very curious about it.Because i like the style that SJP has and her favourite perfumes are touching my smell tastes as well. I should say that it didn't come out as I expected. It's way too sweet in the first place, but thank god the sweetness goes away quickly. It's more like a grape syrup than plum.But the musk is very long lasting. It can be used as a daily perfume. Because it has nothing special, unfortunately.Actually it reminded me of the old times mommy perfumes.But i believe i will be able to use it daily since i bought it very cheap.

Just tested it today, to find out what's the fuss about.
Let's see... at first, a bit of coconut covered by plum and a noticeable amount of tuberose, which reminded me strongly of childhood: all the so-called ladies of 45-50 in my grandparents' village were wearing a lot of tuberose perfume. And this is not good.

About 3 hours later, it's like someone washed it off(not me, I assure you) and just some musk, very faint and watery(orris root maybe).

And that's it. No disputable areas in this one, just goes unnoticed; in the best case, its muskiness could make you fall asleep with boredom. It's yet very different from the awful cocoa+green Covet, but nothing to covet LOL

I read on SJP offical fragrance site about this. The notes sounded so beautiful and interesting, that I just had to try it. The bottle is very beautiful with a flower as a cap. Very strong, feminin and floral. Almost too much, so one spray will be enought. I can only smell plum and the floral notes. I wanted to smell the coconut and the rest. Its like a version of midnight fantasy, exsept this is stronger and moore floral. I think its to much, its way too strong. Its not bad, I have to say its good, just not for me;)

This flavor is completely identical to Burberry London for me. Durability is good and its development becomes more beautiful.

I agree with APassionateJourney. I don't smell plum but I do smell grape.
It doesn't have great staying power, but the second application seems to last longer than the first. It has a pleasing floral bouquet without any peppery overtones (like Jessica McClintock) or heavy oily base notes (like Elizabeth Taylor Gardenia). This one's a keeper in my book.

Simply love it, for me it is better and more unique than the original Covet.

It is light but yet warm, gives velvety and luxurious feeling.

I liked it when tasting in the shop, but when I've bought it it turned out that it is not lasting disappears in a moment. A kind of compote.

I think this is my favourite out of the Sarah Jessica Parker fragrance collection. The scent itself surprised me. I was expecting something really fruity and similiar to the original Covet. Pure Bloom is much lighter, sweeter and flowery.

I really love the coconut scent in this fragrance. It gives that aura of an exotic celebration which makes this perfume better suited to the warmer months. The plum note also keeps this fragrance from becoming too citrusy and blends well with the tuberose and jasmine.

I find the bottle very appealing. It is cute yet feminine and pretty. The purple colouring suits this perfume well.

Unfortunately, Pure Bloom does not have good lasting power. However, because this fragrance is so light and fresh, reapplying during the day would not be of any problem.

It's SUPERTUBEROSE as Carolina Herrera for women

Ok, I think I might be completely over celebrity scents after this one, I can't put my finger on it but it smells like something I wore when I was 13. I really liked it at first and then during the dry down I started to get an awful migraine it was too sweet, not as sweet as Escada, but too sweet! I tried to scrub it off I was in the bathroom and scrubbed with soap and water 4-5 times and it still wouldn't come off, Here's the positive side, It has GREAT LASTING POWER!

COVERT PURE BLOOM is in the middle for me. It’s not a fragrance I want to wash off & it didn’t give me a headache. Yet, it doesn't have that 'special something' that would make me come back for more.

I couldn’t pick out any individual scent notes. There wasn’t a noticeable difference between the top, heart & base notes either, just loads of soft floral notes that I couldn't seperate.

COVERT PURE BLOOM is just a pleasant, quite sweet floral fragrance that is inoffensive, but unmemorable.

The staying power is OK.




Why is it a spin-off? There’s nothing about this that reminds me of the original COVERT. Must be down to making more of a profit from the COVERT name.

I don't get Juicy or Fairy Dust at all. Its very grapeish smelling. The dry-down is awesome and the lasting power is awesome as well! Well done, Sarah. Another favorite for me!

Wow, so different from Covet! I bought this based on the Pikoke, coconut water, tuberose, and jasmine notes, which are my favorites.

My package just arrived yesterday, and upon first spray--I could think of nothing but Juicy Couture!! I love JC, so of course I like this one too. After the drydown, it changed a bit, but is still very nice. Will def wear this for spring and summer! And the bottle is just beautiful!

Anyone else notice the similarity to Juicy Couture and Fairy Dust?

Update: after testing again last night, I really smell the floral more, esp in the topnotes. But the drydown still reminds me a lot of JC. Seems to change based on what I'm eating/drinking!

APassionateJourney

So, it looks like I'll be having this sent to me. Can't WAIT

APassionateJourney

I was on the fence with this one, but I've decided to get it if I can find it cheap. It kinda smelled of grapes and such, but the lasting power was really good. I really LOOOOOVE the first Covet and I'd like to add this one to my collection.

This is my second review on this. I really like this one I sprayed some today and I really can smell alot of the coconut water and it made me like this even more! Wow! Ladies if you haven't tried this then you should, it is really a nice fragrance!

BlackIvory

way too floral for my taste..head ache inducing! still better that the original covet though

sharyssa

SJP you have done it again! I really like this one smells like a hint of coconut and a lot of plum and some really pretty unique type of flowers! Lasts a long time.I really like this one.And the bottle and topper are very pretty.

kokica

have to say,I'm rather unpleasantly surprised by first Covet's reviews...I adore that scent....this other one-Pure Bloom is ,like, nothing compared to the first-green one...
it is so plain,kinda everyday-ish floral scent....I expected a lot from this one and got - zilch!!..
the first one is much,much more subtile...with lemon and chocolate and lavender...it is a perfect Mediterranean scent...sorry to dissappoint you Covet-haters.....::)))

MondeoGirl

This fragrance sounds lovely, I'll have to buy some soon!

Once I've used it up the bottle will look fantastic in my bedroom (on the window cill with my other prettiest bottles!)

Originally Coty Prestige wanted Pure Bloom to be their first best seller at the perfume market and only after its success to continue the line with the spicy green Covet. Mrs. Parker decided differently and the green bottle hit the market first. I'm guessing the sales of Pure Bloom would have been much higher if it hasn't been clouded by green Covet's reputation. People expect sister fragrances to be very much alike having couple diverse top notes. The majority who dislikes the original Covet simply doesn't give Pure Bloom a chance. That's a shame because these fragrances are so much different from each other: the original Covet in a green bottle is a fragrant disaster and Pure Bloom is a sweet-smelling masterpiece. There's everything in this little bottle: blooming plum-trees at dawn, subtle smeel of jasmine and warm sunny day, rainbow and sparkling ticklish rain. It's young, fresh, warm, swirling, flirty and delicious. I just got Pure Bloom today and it was the love from first sniff.

I find Covet Pure Bloom a floral soapy fragrance with a weak staying power.

Trvevil

This one is just awesome! Flowery and very fruity, perfect for summer.
Reminds me curious

amanda

its pleasant but if i smelled it unknowing the olfactive group, i would say its just floral, i cant really smell fruit in it, that makes it a bit boring for me

guest_Troll

i kind of like the original Covet too, don't really get why you people are so much against it.

Chaosnmotion

I agree.. it is the opposite of the original Covet.. it is a beautiful and light floral fragrange. I clearly pick up the jasmine, amber and the sandlewood... it started a little loud but then it dried down to a very light and slightly spicy floral fragrance that I love.

wakemeupalready

My sister bought a bottle of this from Debenhams on Saturday.

I must admit it is totally different from the original Covet.

It's very floral and very feminine and very sexy.
