This fragrance is responsible for giving birth to a generation of super sickly sweet 'trying to be oriental' lolly water fragrances. I give them some credit for giving this a good whack of Patchouli which was a bit different and old school for it's time but other than that it is a mass marketed, over priced and hyped super syrupy diabetes in a bottle scent. I do admit however that I love it's later version Extreme which was a marvellous woody patchouli benzoin, vanillary goodness type of creation. If you want a cheap alternative which practically smells identical get yourself a bottle of Bath and Body works 'Sensual amber' it comes in a large perfumed body spritz for under $25 from several online retailers.

Mass marketed over hyped sugary scent
Tips: Revlon pink Happiness 'delicate moments' and Jovan black musk are both cheaper alternatives to flowerbomb.

Gorgeous!
This fragrance is amazing - not too young and girly, but still fresh. I can use it day and night, and it holds well. Sooooo good!

One word. Delicious.
Love it. Love it. Love it! Smells divine, like a better version of Daisy by Marc Jacobs, it seems like a weird comparison but go ahead and smell em! Perfect for summer, so floraly and light.

Delish!!
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Flowerbomb! I brought it as a one off one day to try is as everyone had been raving about how great it was, the cost had put me off but I wanted to splash out for a change! I'm glad I did, I have worn Flowerbomb every day since purchasing it! I find it hard to switch new fragrances now, although I love to try them, I always end up back at Flowerbomb, I'm still looking for a fragrance that makes me want to switch!

Flowerbomb is my go to Fragrance!
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Flowerbomb! I brought it as a one off one day to try is as everyone had been raving about how great it was, the cost had put me off but I wanted to splash out for a change! I'm glad I did, I have worn Flowerbomb every day since purchasing it! I find it hard to switch new fragrances now, although I love to try them, I always end up back at Flowerbomb, I'm still looking for a fragrance that makes me want to switch!
Tips: It is a very strong scent, you only need one squirt. Even if you can't smell it, guaranteed that others will, don't over do it as it can get a little potent when you spray too much!

Smells so good!
I have been wearing Flowerbomb for the last year or so and I really love it. I've found it smells quite different on different people - my best friend borrowed some and my sister couldn't tell it was the same perfume! That said, it seems to smell great on everyone. I also really love the smell of the mens version, Spicebomb.
Tips: I find it lasts quite well if you spray it in a few places (wrists, neck, hair)!

The little black dress of fragrances
This is my absolute go to for feeling my best everyday. For me scent is very important and though I've tried to change my fragrance a number f times, mostly because of price, but have yet to find anything that get as many compliments and makes me feel as put together as Flowerbomb.
Tips: Flowerbomb is at the high end of the price range so be sure to test the fragrance of yourself before jumping in the deep end. You maybe love how this scent is on others but there's no way to know if it's right for you without giving it a go. All fragrances work with everyones individual oils and natural scents, especially over time, so go down to a department store or Farmers and wear it for a day around people who know you well. That way you'll get a good idea of whether it's going to work well for you!

I followed the hype and brought this...
first time I've ever done that with perfume before smelling it. That's right I brought a perfume without smelling it first....risky I know, but I do like to live life on the edge! When I first smelt it I wasn't that blown away but I got SOOOOOO many compliments, particularly by the opposite sex and that can't be bad right? Now after 6 months of using it.....I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE, wouldn't be without it! I am actually REALLY pleased that I did follow the hype and get it because now I wouldn't be without it!
Tips: Give it a chance, it'll grow on you!

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb EDP
A beautiful, feminine fragrance that always turns heads and coaxes compliments out of strangers. Wonderfully sweet, Flowerbomb is never overpowering and it's subtle nature makes it perfect for brides. A firm favourite of many, it still manages to smell unique on each individual.
Tips: Splash out and buy the Bombilicious Body Cream too. It'll be a luxury addition to your collection and will help the fragrance last longer by layering.

I absolutely love this perfume and would recommend it to everyone as it is perfect for both day and night time wear and I always receive numerous compliments when wearing it. However, the only downside is everyone has it - whether this bothers you or not is another thing. I will always go back to this product, worth the price!
Tips: Spray perfume on the back of your neck so when greeting people or when someone gives you a hug they smell it directly!
