Envy
A floral fresh woody fragrance built around green mandarin, tuberose, lily of the valley, heliotrope, sandalwood. Scent profile not yet written in our editorial pass — the listed notes are the most reliable summary of the wear character until that's filled in.
Bloom
Opens with a dense, almost powdery jasmine that leans creamy rather than green, then tuberose and rangoon creeper push it into full white-floral territory — heady but not sharp. Orris anchors the heart with a soft, rooty warmth that prevents it from going soapy, while honeysuckle adds a faintly nectar-sweet lift. Projection stays moderate; this is a close-to-skin floral, not a room-filler. The musk dry-down is clean and skin-like, elongating the bloom without changing its character — Spring and summer days, office-appropriate, best suited to someone who wants a polished white-floral without any green or fruity detours.
How they overlap
Envy and Bloom share 2 notes (tuberose, musk). The same note name doesn't always mean the same scent — different houses use different vanillas, different woods, different musks — but a multi-note shared spine usually does indicate genuinely-comparable wear character. The remaining notes (4 unique to Envy, 4 unique to Bloom) are where the divergence happens.
