Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

The house of Jafra gifted the world with Bloom in 2013. A feminine fragrance rooted in the wood, fruit, and floral families. The fragrance belongs to the green, fruit, and citrus groups. The palette of this fragrance is exceptionally rich: traces of whiteflower can also be found — a rare combination that makes this perfume truly one of a kind. Available as eau de toilette.
The sillage is noticeable — present, but never overpowering. It settles in and stays — the longevity is genuinely high. The birthplace of this fragrance — the United States, a place with a refined nose. Bloom Jafra unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Bloom is shaped as a living composition, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The style of Jafra comes through in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette supports the depth and body this composition needs.
The accord profile rests on these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Musc with each one in a clear role. Secondary accord layers such as Wood and Amber add depth to the backdrop. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In wear duration High points to a sustained drydown presence.
At the opening of the pyramid you detect fresh floral opening notes: Freesia, Grass, Hyacinth and Lime.
In the middle phase you sense Calla, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Magnolia, Rose and Tuberose holding a velvety rose-iris direction.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Citrus, Fruit, Green and Whiteflower. The framework further includes Floral, Ambery, Wood and Musk.
Overall Bloom reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best judged on skin.
