Head to head
Gucci Bloom and Dior J'adore are often compared by people choosing between the two. Both belong to the floral family, and they share jasmine and tuberose. They are close in style: much of the character of one is also in the other.
Bloom stands apart with honeysuckle, while J'adore brings pear, melon and bergamot. They are rated the same for longevity (long-lasting), and J'adore projects more (strong against moderate). J'adore is the cheaper one: about $160 against $165 for a standard bottle.
