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 :)
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.
