Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Review

I bought this duty free and still winced a bit at the price, but now the bottle's getting low I'm already planning to get another one. The scent, as you might expect from the name, is very floral and feminine, but also distinctive and memorable. I'm trying to pick out the components, without real success - freesia and lily maybe with a hint of carnation spiciness. One problem is that I can't wear it to work as my friend says it threatens to trigger one of her migraines...for this reason I've marked it down slightly, as it's clearly not for everybody.

I'm onto my 4th bottle of flowerbomb, I wear it almost everyday. My colleagues at work all know it's my scent and comment if I wear something different. I love how warm it is, and it's almost strawberry sweet without being too overpowering. It lasts a long time on my skin unlike other fragrances that fade after a couple of hours. It seems to work well across the seasons. It does appear to be more expensive than other fragrances but I'm happy to pay for such a lovely perfume that I haven't gotten tired of yet!

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 had this given to me as a gift by my mother-in-law. I must say the packaging was rather lovely and most likely what made her purchase it. It's in a lovely little bottle and looks rather nice on my dresser. As for the smell, it is not as young and fruity as I normally go for in perfumes and my initial thoughts were how it was quite strong and over powering but a very nice smell.

I decided to give it a while to grow on me, and that it did! I have used this while wearing a jacket and smelt the jacket a few weeks later and the smell is still great. It's very long lasting and as I've just learnt the price, so it should be :)

I don't think I'll buy it again as it's not my usual, but I will enjoy using it. I would also recommend this to anyone who likes a long lasting perfume that lingers in a good way.

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!

Love the smell of Flowerbomb! Very sweet and girly fragrance, and definitely worth saving up or splurging for! Easily recognizable when others are wearing it too, and it's great for everyday and going out.

V&R are two very talented designers, and I was obsessed with the great packaging. So I had to try it. Unfortunately, this fragrance was WAY too sweet for my liking. Some people love it. I can't smell like that all day, I would literally get sick.

This perfume totally took the world by storm when it came out! I was given a bottle of it from a dear friend and loved it so much, I also purchased one for my mum! Such a spicy perfume and you can really smell the freesia in it.

I know this is a favourite and a ve learned it seems to be a Dutch company which I s nice as I am of Dutch descent but sadly I had a bad experience when I purchased this so I guess it made me not love the scent. I bought off TradeMe what in the pictures was a full size bottle of spray perfume and came with a matching lotion. What I received was a tiny splash perfume and wee 50ml perfumed product. Definitely false advertising and unfortunately TradeMe were not very helpful as I paid via bank transfer. Anyway the scent instantly made me realize I had smelt it before - on my cousin. So I like it for that! But for myself personally it's not something I'll buy again. The scent initially I couldn't smell it but it developed into a nice sensual sweet somewhat powdery floral. I can see this one being liked by both young and older women. I would be interested in smelling some of the flankers or others from Victor and Rolph.
