Mon Guerlain Sparkling Bouquet

I can't help compare it to mon guerlain Florale, it cannot compare sadly. More fresh than florale but still nice. Didn't last long on my hand when i sprayed it, intimate scent. Score: 6/10

one of my favourite perfumes, so joyful and i’ve received compliments wearing it. very bright and feminine scent. love guerlain <3

Delicioso, sexy y versatil

This is a beautiful fragrance and I love the OG but unfortunately, this is a blind buy fail. It opens with a sharp citrus note that doesn’t ever go away on my skin. This thing lasts and lasts and lasts. It doesn’t ever mellow out. It’s a gorgeous complex fragrance, but unfortunately it doesn’t work for me.

Why is it called Sparkling Bouquet when the main modification is really the fruity framing around the original composition? Especially when you can barely even smell the pear properly? Look, I will sound like a broken record at this point, but Mon Guerlain is one of my absolute loves, so I cannot truly trash any variation built around that DNA. Still, this does feel like a slight downgrade from the original. Not bad, not at all - but competing with a masterpiece is a dangerous game. This is pleasant, pretty, easy to like. But it is not as elevated, not as carefully balanced, not as heavenly. There are tiny inconsistencies here and there. The original Mon Guerlain feels perfectly calibrated, like every note knows exactly where it belongs and how much space it should occupy. Sparkling Bouquet shifts those internal weights ever so slightly off-center. It is still a beautiful perfume. The Guerlain DNA remains intact, and that alone already places it above most fragrances on the market. But the depth is lighter, the composition feels younger, more playful, more accessible. If you had a fancy teenager and wanted to gift them their first truly elegant perfume, this would be an excellent choice. It has sophistication, but it does not demand the same level of presence or maturity as the original. It feels like an introduction to elegance rather than elegance in its true form. I genuinely cannot imagine someone tacky wearing Mon Guerlain. The thought itself feels wrong. But Sparkling Bouquet? I can see it accompanying someone at the very beginning of their journey into taste, refinement, and classiness. As for me, I will keep my Mon Guerlain.

I find the negative reactions to this perfume to be very perplexing. On my skin it's absolutely beautiful, and one that I enjoy smelling throughout the day or night. And (no exaggeration) I've rarely ever worn it out in public without someone telling me that I smell amazing. I live in a warm climate where this one comes on delightfully light and bright in the beginning, and then settles down to a beautiful, comforting, and decidedly feminine scent after the first hour. I love that it's sweet without being too sweet as modern perfumes often are. And it's not just the that I'm tolerant of lavendar, since I mostly dislike the Libre line and have only found one flanker that I like. Sparkling Bouquet projects to just about an arm's length for the first four hours on my skin, and then becomes a skin scent that I can smell for a good 10 hours. It stays even longer on clothing or in my hair. And my nose picks up the pear, and also the peony mixed with that beautiful and familiar Mon Guerlain DNA. For me, this one is a definite love. I adore the entire Mon Guerlain line, and have and enjoy all of the flankers, but this is my most worn go-to Mon Guerlain for the spring and most of the summer. I have a large perfume collection, and have easily sampled three times as many fragrances as I own, and this one still stands strong for me. I know that perfume is 100% subjective, and tastes often vary, but I don't get how there are those who dislike this fragrance. They sure aren't picking up what my nose does.

Initial smell is very perfume-y but the dry down is soooo beautiful!! Very feminine and elegant. A perfect crowd pleaser for during the day.

Smells like bug spray on me :(

This was the first perfume i had from Guerlain and genuinely it’s really lightweight, feminine, it’s soft and delicate. Wasn’t disappointing to be fair, the longevity was just fine

I have MG MG Intense MG Rose and this one and I definitely find myself reaching for this one most of the time. So sparkling, refreshing, and gently feminine and the pear with peony is so juicy and pretty. I truly love it out of the 60 or so bottles I have of the most popular current perfumes this one is in top 5 for me. Just so PRETTY. No it doesn't smell like some niche pickle juice and cilantro perfume for $400 so perhaps not the most "original" but at least it's not ANOTHER one of the citrus/jasmine combos. Good lord how many jasmine based perfumes does one world need?! They all smell the same! Do something different perfumers! Pick another flower! Jasmine is DONE! Peony is a crisp rose to me. I love rose, but peony? Like in AG's Moonlight? Thats even better. Do something with peony! ANY other flower besides Jasmine! Stop with the citrus note/jasmine perfume over and over! I beg you!

@roselovestoshop, agree!

I did not expect to love this as much as I do. It's a super fresh, delicate and elevated citrus floral. Nothing ground breaking, but it just makes me happy. So sad it doesn't last long and is getting harder to find.

I was disappointed.I was looking for pear here, but too much Bergamot, and lavender comes out completely different.

Perfect choice for summer 🧡💛 it makes you feel fresh , when it wears off you smell all the layers accordingly, love the pear in it, I’m not a lavender fan but this one suits good for me.

This perfume smells like heaven to me… ethereal and delicate, like Aphrodite🤍 I can also imagine an angel wearing it, floating through a garden of white florals… 🪽

true to its name, this is a sparkling and effervescent fragrance, and it smells like an expensive soap or shampoo. I mostly pick up the florals and citrus notes, and I really wish that I got more of that og Mon Guerlain lavender vanilla that I love so much. unfortunately, this doesn't last on my skin or my clothes, and is gone within 2 hours of application. overall, I think Sparkling Bouquet is pretty but I would recommend sticking to Mon Guerlain edp

Sometimes I feel there needs to be a character limit on reviews…..

Found a sample of this left in a closet at home. Sprayed this probably once a couple of years ago and it's been macerating ever since. Don't know it it makes a difference but to me this is not a fresh perfume. I'm getting very powdery cherry-like rose vanilla. Vaguely reminds me of Amor Amor. So not bad, but surprising giving the other reviews. Lasts a good few hours! Not my cup of tea for a full size though.

Very clean, very floral, very fresh and crisp in a somewhat soapy fresh kind of way. I smell like I just hopped out of the most luxurious shower anyone could ever take. Yes it smells like the most beautiful very clean and crisp florally crisp lavender orange pear vanilla. I was afraid of that "powder" everyone says they smell that it'd make me smell more powder like those powdery perfumes from early 90s, late 80s, perfumes that smelled like someone dumped a whole bottle of their child's Johnson and Johnson's baby powder into a tea rose with jasmine, bottled it up and all the ladies went crazy for it. Ladies like my lovely mother. Lol. I understand the Tea Rose craze. It's the most realistic rose smell of all. But I like my roses dark and brooding and with thorns they aren't afraid to use (Atomic Rose, Intense Cafe, etc). I get none of that kind of powder or rose in either of these and def not in this flanker. This flanker I'd say has no smell of powder at all that screams at you it's so well blended so elegantly if it's there at all you can barely tell. These days, most flankers just smell so much like the original they just seem like another money grab. Sparkling Bouquet smells very VERY vaguely like the EDP. It is worth having both if you like both. They ARE different. And I even like it just as much, maybe even more, but it smells very different than the edp. I haven't recieved Intense yet, but I did order it and it should be here the day after tomorrow. Im not a patchouli fan - which Im searching for in the edp which says it has it but it's certainly not the dirty patchouli I'm used to smelling on fake Coco Mademoiselle clones and in Flowerbomb - which shouldve been named Patchoulibomb because that's mostly what I smell there. Nothing wrong with patchouli if that's your gig but it reminds me of smoking a blunt in my bedroom as a kid and then lighting 3 sticks of patchouli incense because it was the only smell stronger and dirtier enough than marijuana to cover up the smell of it so my parents would have an excuse as to why my room smells vaguely of weed. ("You're just smelling the patchouli incense Dad!" "Oh...ok." Lol) In short patchouli dominated scents will always remind me of a headshop. But the patchouli in this edp is so well blended I have to put my nose into the clothing and search for the patchouli note in the edp. I do smell the "licorice" giving the edp some character. I'll come back after I get the Intense which has more patchouli and do a little update with them all side by side and tell you how it compares to your regular patchouli. I DO get the orange and the pear though but they are not sweet, they are sparkling like their lives depend on it like they were picked off the tree before they were ripe. I dont even want to call it "floral/fruity" they are that clean and crisp in SB. More like floral/fresh. On my clothes, this one (SB) lasts longer than the edp inside in the air conditioning. I'm wearing it right now on one sleeve, and can still smell it going strong on my clothes. I sprayed one arm with the edp, and one with SB, and the SB is still Sparkling. The edp checked out for the most part about an hour or 2 ago and its basically a skin scent now 7 hours in, imo. But keep in mind I have huge expectations for performance from my perfumes. I was a child in the 90s when you could drop $17 on Sunflowers by EA at the local outlet fragrance store at the mall and it was so strong and it'd last so long you'd have to spray it in the air in front of you and walk through it and everyone in the house could smell those 2 sprays when the air turned on and circulated it to every single room, whereas now, you better moisturize and spray 5-7 sprays directly on your person and bring the bottle in your purse because ALL of these perfumes (Montale excluded) are going to fade away halfway through your night out. I don't get a lot of a sweet surupy vanilla here on either tho. So if you're looking for that here, you're in the wrong place. This vanilla is different...different from ANY vanilla I've ever smelled. But then, I read Guerlain has been tweaking and perfecting their vanillas down to an art (along with the "Guerlinade") for at least a century, and Juicy Couture's sugary syrupy gourmand vanilla doesnt seem to be the scent they were going for for their vanillas. This is such a clean vanilla. In short, this smells like a luxurious perfume, not baked goods, and I love baked goods perfumes don't get me wrong, and perhaps acquired more than I meant to lol and so to compensate, I invested in a Guerlain, or 3 and threw Guess Seductive Noir in there just for good measure, yes, I got carried away on a cloud of the nicest actual perfume perfumes I've smelled in a long time. I've been drowning in a sea of gourmands and Guerlain just pulled up like a lifeboat that smelled like heaven, like going home back to when perfumes had so many well blended notes they actually smelled like a perfume, and I may have swam to this lifeboat and jumped on it like I'd been stranded on that raft for 10 years in an ocean of mostly linear gourmands. Lol I've been choked in surupy vanilla, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, sweet almonds, milk, praline, honey, caramel etc for so many years now, so when I smelled the Guerlains, the "wifey perfumes" aka perfumes men want to smell whenever they go home from their sidehoe at the local Hotel 6, my nose decided I wanted a polygamous marriage with all 3 of the Mons still available. Sad I missed Bloom of Rose...I like the queen of flowers in all my perfumes. But they have rose in the edp for a mid note and a peony in Sparkling Bouquet for a mid note (and peony in GSN as a mid note) - which my mind always just percieves as a sharper rose which is perfect for a fragrance described as "sparkling". Do either smell like Guess Seductive Noir? Well, GSN smells a bit more mainstream to me. I feel like more ppl would have no problem with that one. Why would they, its lovely, and a little more of the vanilla they are used to. Most perfume brands are all getting their ingredients from the same manufacturer. But Guerlain does their vanillas in-house and they do not share so you will not find it anywhere else. Guess isnt a 150 year old perfume house. But don't get me wrong, GSN smells AMAZING for $20 - best $20 I've ever spent in my entire life of perfume adventures - and yes I've smelled a few hastily thrown together Lattafas and they smell cheap and perform cheaply as well. They are beast mode for about 1 hour then ghost on you sooo fast... everyone always thinks they got a counterfeit bottle of a $25 perfume they disappear so fast and smell so weird. How would you make ANY money on counterfeiting a $25 perfume especially considering it looks like they spent the majority of their $ on presentation?!! The Lattafas all look good on the vanity and the boxes are so luxurious, but that is so deceptive. I think, to trick your brain into not trusting your nose and that it needs to "macerate" - a term I've never heard of in perfumery until Lattafa came along with what I feel is a term hoping to establish a placebo effect. Ive read comments of ppl letting their Lattafa they initially hated "macerate"/mature for 3 days, coming back to it and "its growing on me! Maybe there something to this maceration thing!" Lol as if 3 days was all it needed. I've made my own perfumes. They need to sit for about 3 weeks. Do you really think Lattafa hasn't had these perfumes made for 3 weeks before they shipped it off to you? They were flying off the shelves before they were even done maturing?! That's crazy talk. But if you like smelling like a drunk Santa Claus taking pictures with the kids at the mall - get you some Khamrah! If you want to smell like a drunk Santa Claus on his coffee break get the one with coffee. GSN does NOT smell like it was $20. Id have paid $70 for that one. But does it smell like the 2 Mon Guerlain's I'm comparing right now? They have the same pe

Very delicate (in terms of how it smells and how it performs), fresh and girly. Less lavender and way more jasmine than original, at least for me. Citruses give it a nice, refreshing vibe. Ideal for spring and summer and for those who like fresh florals and prefer more intimate perfumes.

This is really a very light and beautiful perfume. zesty, fruity and floral. Lavender brings a nice, almost spicy, floral touch. The dry down is very soft. I saw people comparing Mon Guerlain to Libre (normal not intense)... so I didn't try out the classic Mon Guerlain... but this one is obviously different with the fruity touch. I would say it's in the same family type... but... the dry down is very different. Mon Guerlain Sparkling Bouquet is more vanilla and musk... a wonderful vanilla might I add. Just beautiful. Libre is more ambergris, musk and very very light cedar dry down. So make of it as you wish... if you like more vanilla intense dry downs this is it ! It's beautiful... love it !

This is the only Mon Guerlain flanker I liked. Lemony fresh sweet lavender.

I love Mon Guerlain and Mon Guerlain Intense, and I was hoping for something a little more floral for summer, but this is AWFUL. I rarely truly hate a fragrance, even if it’s not for me, but this is one of the worst fragrances I’ve smelled. It’s super strong and super chemically smelling to me. I’m definitely getting more bathroom cleaner than perfume, and in the worst way possible. I think my bathroom cleaner actually smells better than this. I blind bought this, and I’m so disappointed.

Sparkling, that is definitely what she is! I love this so much in spring and summer, when the OG and Intense are bit too much for warmer temperatures, this is a beautiful fresh version of the latter. It opens literally sparkling, zesty citrus notes combined with lavender is the first thing you will notice. Once it settles you're left with a beautiful composition of flowers, its fresh has a clean vibe to it, but it still has a very tiny bit of the complexity/smokiness you will find in the OG and Intense, but just toned down to make it more suitable for those sunny days. I think this is absolutely beautiful and as a big MG and lavender fan, I hope they will keep this line around for eternity, whether it is to lift me up or help me wind down!

this is a more fruitier and less lavendery version of the original mor guerlain. also much more wearable and a little bit more feminine. I enjoy this scent so much, I bought the second bottle. But I admit there's nothing very special going on here, and the longevity is insanely weak.

Sweeter & lighter than OG Mon Guerlain. I like it. Sparkling & OG smell the same in hotter temperatures but in cooler temperatures the sparkling def comes off sweeter. They both have the same longevity & are both very pleasant & I love them.

Um perfume floral, leve e adocicado, o cheiro de princesa romântica. Sinto muita lavanda com pera e um pouco de baunilha. Perfeito para a primavera e verão.

This flanker is very citrus heavy and very fresh compared to the others in this line I have smelled. It almost comes across bathroom cleaner like. This is something you wear in super hot weather so my sample will sit until next summer. It just doesn't feel right for fall or winter at all. I get lots of lavender in the heart and a bit of the peony and the vanilla sweetness but the citrus notes are extremely strong. I would have liked this better if they were dialed back. I'm getting a toilet bowl cleaner vibe here. I like this less as it went along. I can't believe they discontinued the Bloom of Rose for this one. Bad call. Giving this sample away. Just can't bring myself to wear it. To citrus heavy. Reminds me of what the L'eau version of Chanel #5 does to that perfume, nothing good. This flanker ruins the Mon Guerlain DNA just like L'eau #5 ruins the Chanel #5 DNA. This is the least favorite of all of the line I have tried. Not the best flanker IMO. They should have kept the Floralie and the rose flankers instead.

This flanker is a nice surprise. Definitely more green and aromatic than the original, a bit sharp in the opening. I smell no pear at all but I get a ton of lavender, and I can easily recognize the Mon Guerlain DNA in the background. I would wear this in the spring and summer. I really enjoy it.

I had high expectations for this one, which may account for my disappointment. It wasn't unpleasant. I can say that. It was light, pretty, and feminine, and it wasn't something that smelled like anything else I've tried recently. So, I found it a bit unusual, but after a few minutes I decided that it wasn't an unusual that I particularly liked. I think the pear note is too dominant, and I'm not sure the other things blend well. That's my best effort at trying to figure out what it was that I didn't really love about this one. On paper I should have adored it... but unfortunately I didn't.
