Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Review

This is a lovely, fresh, sweet scent which is perfect for a lighter daytime perfume. I absolutely love Viktor & Rolf's products, they make quality perfumes which last a long time and have beautiful fragrances. Flowerbmb is sweet and flowery, as its name suggests, but unlike other floral perfumes which I often find sickly sweet and overpowering, it has a freshness to it which makes it easy to wear. The packing is always beautiful in Viktor & Rolf products, my only criticism is the wee plastic tab which comes out from the neck of the bottle, it does not survive well travelling in a toilet bag and easily falls off!

Classy, warm, sweet, feminine, flowery, rich, luxurious, intoxicating, seductive, floriental fragrance! It starts out with an explosion of heavenly bouquet of flowers, beautifully blended together to make a sweet, feminine, seductive combination! The dry down is soft, warm and velvety with tiny hints of vanilla. I would say this was a cross between an oriental floral and a gourmand fragrance. The sillage and longevity is fantastic! One spray and the scent last all day, so no need to keep reapplying. Only one spray is needed as the fragrance is incredibly powerful, more than 2 sprays and it could become overpowering. Could be worn any time of day and any season. But to be used sparingly in summer otherwise it could become cloying. I am usually prone to headaches with oriental scents but Flowerbomb is one of very few oriental fragrances that does not give me an headache. This is the sort of fragrance that will enter a room before you do. One that is bound to get you compliments! The only thing I can fault with this fragrance is the price!! Expensive but worth it! ; ) Flowerbomb = Sugarbomb = Love!! ♥

I was lucky enough to receive my bottle from Beauty Review. I had never tested Flowerbomb before but had been hearing so much about it so it was on my 'to do' list! Considering it was released in 2005 I must've been living under a rock. My typical perfume choice is usually sweet, floral or oriental (I'm typically not too fussy as long as its not overpowering or busy) so Flowerbomb looked like a good one for me!

I am not very good nor experienced at describing or dissecting scents so please bear with me. No body shoot me but on first impression I was shocked at the similarity to another perfume I have.... Gucci Rush! It didn't last! And after wearing it every day for the last week I now wonder why I thought this. I'm guessing its the patchouli which is dominant in Rush.

After the patchouli burst it dried down and my nose detected the bergamot and tea. Overall on me it's a very feminine scent which is perfect for day wear, all year round, but I think I will really love it thru summer as its light and sweetly floral. My partner doesn't like strong perfumes and this one didn't offend him which is an added bonus!

The bottle is very fitting too! Shaped like a grenade it is a Flowerbomb!

Thank you Beauty Review for the opportunity to review this perfume. It is very much appreciated :)

If you are a fan of scents which aren't worn by the masses then this is probably one you might want to avoid however.. The fabulous thing about fragrance is that it can smell different on each body!

I was skeptical because of how popular this was.. In passing at Farmers I had always tried it on and was impressed by its staying power and power packed punch that wasn't too over powering but very easy to wear and feminine.

I ended up splurging on a bottle of this and the extreme.. I find this version is better for day time/casual wear where as the extreme is ideal for night time. Both fragrances have incredible stayability which you would expect from such a high end fragrance.

I believe this is one fragrance that near almost everyone could pull off. Although there is a hint of sweetness in there, it is in no way sickly and I believe will appeal to almost every taste in fragrance!

This has been one of my all-time favourite scents for 17 years now. I love the woody undertone of this perfume - yet at the same time, it has notes of vanilla and jasmine that stand out. I also love how a couple of sprays on the neck or wrist last all day. This perfume feels almost oriental and has a certain warmth to it. Another similar perfume is Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle EDP and I am also a huge fan of Coco Mademoiselle, however, it can be a bit pricey and Flowerbomb is a more budget-friendly option.

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.

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!

5th bottle in... Such an amazing investment! Very floral and sweet, however not candy sweet and overpowering. Stays on all day. It is definitely a more expensive perfume unfortunately but don't need a lot to feel great!

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this perfume. It's my all time favourite, I always get compliments when I wear this. Hard to describe the scent, spicy floral. I think the Patchouli comes out more on me. I was given a bottle by my sister that she brought in duty free, (lucky!) and although the price is off putting, I love this perfume so much I would always replace. The cut glass bottle is beautiful, it's a work of art. It looks like a grenade. The scent isn't too overpowering but it lasts all day on me, and well worth the money. I have the Eau De Parfum.

What a beautiful fragrance this is! I have the 100ml bottle and although quite pricey I think it was well worth the spend. I've had it now for just over 3 months after wanting to purchase it for well over a year- after smelling it on a friend i finally bit the bulket abd bought it. It quickly has become my number one choice of fragrance to wear daily. The beautiful floral fragrance has depth which is not too overpowering and a hint of sweetness but is not sickly. I've had many many comments whilst wearing this from people of all ages and tastes which makes me think this is a real classic- ideal as a gift as I I think it's very likeable. The fragrance has awesome staying power and lasts all day long. The bottle looks gorgeous in my counter top without being overstated. If you're looking for a fragrance that makes you feel beautiful, glamourous and a little bit sexy this is the one for you .
