Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Review

Ladies - forgive me for writing this review... I know many women love this and I am a little afraid to voice my opinion... (I am kidding ;P).

As part of a Nordstrom order I did, I got a sample bottle of this. I was super excited because I had been wanting to try it out ever since I had heard friends talk about how amazing it is. Not being able to afford a full bottle, I greedily took advantage of the sample Nordstrom were offering.

I can't talk about the packaging because the bottle I got was one of those small spritz bottles. However, in store the bottle for this looks beautiful!

On me, the scent starts off as a sweet floral smell (which isn't something I like). In fact, for the first hour or so of wearing this I really, really don't like it. When the perfume develops, however, the patchoulli notes come out and this turns into a subtle musky scent which is something I really like.

Even though I am not really a fan of overpowering scents, this is much too subtle for my liking. It could be the way that it interacts with my chemistry, but unless I smell exactly where I sprayed this, I can't smell it at all. This might be something you enjoy but I personally like to be able to get a hint of the perfume I am wearing throughout the day.

Even if this were less expensive, I wouldn't buy it because it is too floral and too subtle for my taste. I prefer something more spicy and sexy that has a little more punch.

Despite or perhaps because of the popularity of this fragrance, I've never previously tried Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb except as a passing whiff at a perfume counter. Recently however I managed to pick up a 7ml EDP and have been wearing it almost everyday since!

The scent is an explosion of elegant floral perfection. Just the right amount of heavenly jasmine without being sickly or too sweet like some florals can, and not too 'old lady garden' if that makes sense! As it warms on my skin I get the slightly spicy warmth of musk and patchoulli coming through. I find this makes it a scent that women of all ages could pull off.

On top of all this, I'm particulary impressed by the level of detail in the packaging - the pink glass bomb-shaped bottle even in miniature form really flows well with 'flowerbomb'.

I really, really want a full-size version of this fragrance and it's definately on the lust-list for my partner's anniversary present hint hint hehe.

I struggle to find perfumes that work well on my skin. I can smell something in a bottle that is amazing, but as soon as I spray it on, it changes and turns into something I hate. So finding a new perfume has been a challenge.

I have worn Gucci Rush for years and decided I needed something new. I had heard so much about Flowerbomb that I had to try it. The bottle looks stunning, it's got a really unique shape and just screams opulence. The first time I smelled it was on a spray card and I was somewhat underwhelmed. It smelt ok, but that was it, just ok. Not to be put off I purchased a small sample size from the Big Bucket popup store to trial it out.

From the first time I wore it I received so many compliments. The scent starts off as a soft, floral scent but then morphs into this heady, woody scent that is just gorgeous. It’s difficult to describe because it changes so much on my skin, but this has become my scent of choice and I wear it every single day. It lasts an entire day on my skin, for me a sign that a perfume is a perfect match for me, is when I can no longer smell it on myself.

The price tag is rather high, but then for such an amazing perfume it really is worth it.

This is the most beautiful perfume on this planet, it smells so luxurious and amazing. The scent lasts longer than a day, I'll put it on one day and I'll still smell it on myself the next day. The packaging is so gorgeous. The only downside is the price. It's so expensive but I swear it is so worth it. It makes me smell like a princess

Such a gorgeous scent. Sweet, floral and delicate. I like that the bottle is classy and simple, looks so pretty on my dressing table. This fragrance is a real winner, never met someone who has said they don't like it! My boyfriends favourite perfume I own too. Only problem is I've found it does not last as long as some other perfumes.

Love this scent. Beautiful bottle, easy to hold and carry around. Scent lasts all day especially when it is applied to the pulse points. It is a very strong fragrance and holds its smell so only one spray is needed to desired area. All my friends love it and it goes a long way as you don't need much to smell amazing all day

If you're wondering whether or not you should drop so much money on a perfume, or if ut is a waste of money, worry not! This perfume is a personal fav. You get what you pay for because the scent is to die for and lasts like a good quality fragrance should. Also doesn't seem to irritate my skin like some fragrances do which is great for my sensitive skin!

The only way to describe this scent is delicious! I was introduced to it when a friend was wearing it and just had to have it. I wear it every day and get so many compliments. I’ve even had perfect strangers stop me and ask what my perfume is. It is deliciously floral and at the same time sexy. I feel great when I wear it. Definitely would recommend to friends and family.
