I like really sweet and youthful perfumes rather than mature ones. I think this is a good in between for a slightly more sophisticated perfume but one that is also sweet, fun and easy to wear. It lasts for a good amount of time and isn't overpowering. The top notes are a little sharp for my liking but I like how the caramel scent becomes more noticeable as you wear it.

Viktor and Rolf Bon Bon Review
Bonbon, a timeless sensation inviting a pure and absolute pursuit of pleasure. She who wears Bonbon, dresses herself in perfume whilst creating her own story. She is empowered, beautiful and complete.
Caramel characterizes the scent’s evolution. From inception to completion, the caramel notes mature from a sharp, edible top note to softer and milkier in the middle then darkening to add depth to the base note. A pure delight, a haute confection.

I bought a sample of this the same time I bought Black Opium and Incredible Things. I can't comment on the bottle, but I do understand it's bloody gorgeous! It's supposed to be a toffee but I thought it looked like a bow, which is far cuter. It's also a gorgeous pink and it's very eye catching and screams expensive.
This pefume is very, very sweet. I am all about that sweet life but I think this is just a bit too sweet for my liking. I got a light of smack of caramel, and weirdly I could smell peaches! I don't know if peach is actually a scent in this bad boy, but I did enjoy it. I think I preferred it over the caramel!
Unfortunately nothing about this perfume really stood out for me, so I'm really glad I bought a sample of it before opting to splurge and treat myself. I will finish my sample but it's highly unlikely I would purchase a full sized bottle.
I couldn't walk past the bottle without stopping to check out what this incredibly expensive looking perfume is all about. I tested this out at Farmers and really enjoyed the sweet scent. I was fortunate enough to find that my sister already owns the 50ml EDP and was happy to let me have her one yayyyyy!
It never dawned on me that the bottle was shaped like a candy in a wrapper hence the name but to me it looks like a bow - a gorgeous fuchsia bow. I really love the packaging but I'm not sure how functional the bottle is once we start nearing the end. How does the nozzle collect the liquid if both ends are turned downward? Yep still haven't figured that one out but should be interesting.
When I first spritzed this I didn't really allow it to settle - it just gave off this sweet fruity "not-so-caramel" scent and I loved it. Yes past tense. Once you actually allow this to dry down it's more of a sickly sweet caramel with a musky undertone and that's not my kind of scent. It's bearable but it's a tad too "girly" for me - I want something a little more mature (yes I'm a bit of nana these days).
The lasting power is amazing, I spritz it at 5am and by 4pm it's still as good as the 4th hour! I generally cannot wait to wash it off in the shower because it's just a bit much being surrounded in sickly sweets all day. For anyone interested I'd suggest going to the counter to have it spritzed on your skin so you can wear it for the day and determine if it's what you'd like to smell all day. If I enjoyed that kind of scent I would actually pay the price.
This perfume has a very sweet scent to it. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a light, sweet perfume to wear in Spring or Summer. I probably wouldn't buy this as it has a very sweet undertone to it - almost like lollies! I got it for free with a flowerbomb purchase and like it but feel it would suit a younger person more-so than myself :)
