8 Sweet Blossom
8 Sweet Blossom reads as a very light citrus floral with mandarin brightness, soft floral notes, and a clean fruity lift. It looks best suited to easy daytime wear in warm weather. The trade-off is performance. Based on the available review and wear data, it stays close to the skin and may fade within about an hour, so this is one to.

Performance appears to be weak. The available review reports almost no projection and about an hour of wear, and the small amount of wear data supports a close, short-lived scent that may need frequent reapplication.

The scent profile suggests a fresh citrus floral with mandarin up top, soft floral notes at the center, and a light fruity, green, slightly aldehydic texture. It likely smells airy, simple, and clean rather than rich, creamy, or heavily sweet.
Main Accords
5 MAPPEDThe citrus accord seems to lead, giving the fragrance its brightness and lift, while the floral accord keeps it soft and traditionally feminine. Fruity facets may add a gentle sweetness, the aldehydic touch can feel a little clean and airy, and the green aspect likely stops it from feeling too sugary.

EDITORIAL“8 Sweet Blossom Review”
8 Sweet Blossom by New Look is a very simple floral-citrus fragrance built around bright mandarin and soft floral notes. On paper, it looks easy to wear and easy to understand. This is not a dense bouquet, a rich fruity floral, or a perfume that tries to make a dramatic entrance. It reads more like a light, budget-friendly daytime scent with a fresh opening and a soft finish.
The opening is likely the best part for most wearers. Mandarin orange gives the fragrance its main point of character, adding a bright citrus sparkle that keeps the floral core from feeling flat. The listed accord profile also suggests a fruity edge, a touch of green freshness, and a faint aldehydic lift, which may give the scent a slightly clean, airy impression rather than anything creamy or syrupy.
In wear, 8 Sweet Blossom seems geared toward people who want something unobtrusive. The floral side appears soft rather than heady, and the citrus-fruity top should make it feel casual and daytime-friendly. Spring and summer make the most sense here, especially if you want a fragrance for errands, quick daytime outings, or moments when you just want a light scent in the background.
The main issue is performance, and the evidence is very clear on that point. The available review describes almost no projection and very short wear, with the scent becoming hard to detect quickly. The limited performance data supports the same story, pointing to weak longevity and intimate sillage. If you expect a scent to last through the workday or leave a noticeable trail, this is unlikely to meet that standard.
That makes 8 Sweet Blossom a fragrance with a narrow use case. It may still appeal to shoppers who want an ultra-cheap, soft citrus floral and are happy to reapply often. It may also suit someone who dislikes strong perfume and prefers something faint and close to the skin. But for most buyers, performance will be the deciding factor, and likely the biggest reason to hesitate.
This is best approached as a low-cost, low-commitment scent rather than a dependable signature fragrance. The smell itself seems pleasant enough in a simple, bright, floral way. The question is less about whether it smells nice, and more about whether it stays around long enough to matter.

Dupes & Alternatives
COMMUNITY DUPESCOREThere is not enough reliable comparison evidence here to make a confident dupe claim. The safest takeaway is that it sits in the light citrus-floral budget category. If that style appeals to you, compare it with other soft mandarin or airy floral daytime scents rather than expecting a close match to a specific perfume.
