Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Review

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Flowerbomb! I brought it as a one off one day to try is as everyone had been raving about how great it was, the cost had put me off but I wanted to splash out for a change! I'm glad I did, I have worn Flowerbomb every day since purchasing it! I find it hard to switch new fragrances now, although I love to try them, I always end up back at Flowerbomb, I'm still looking for a fragrance that makes me want to switch!

I absolutely love this perfume and would recommend it to everyone as it is perfect for both day and night time wear and I always receive numerous compliments when wearing it. However, the only downside is everyone has it - whether this bothers you or not is another thing. I will always go back to this product, worth the price!

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 :)

I have to admit that I had never heard of 'Flowerbomb' but was super excited to trial it after reading the great reviews and I have fallen in LOVE! To me, it smells like a vanilla/caramel blended with a mixture of flowers. I love the hints of rose and patchouli, reminds me of my mum <3 The actual fragrance lasts for ages, I spritz it on my neck and wrists in the morning and its still there by the end of the day! I adore the bottle!!!! it is GORGEOUS! The price tag on the other hand....uuggghh too expensive for me unfortunatly. Overall those this fragrance is wonderful, maybe not a "flowerbomb" as its not too flowery but def the bomb :)

I was a little apprehensive about this fragrance after reading a previous review but was pleasantly surprised

Firstly, I really like the packaging of this. The light pink is not to girly when it is contrasted with the black ribbon, and the ‘grenade’ bottle referencing the name of the fragrance

The main accords of Flowerbomb are white floral, patchouli, green tea, and citrus. I did not feel it was sweet and sickly as some others have mentioned and would describe it as soft, alluring, warm, and pretty!

Lasting power is good, especially when used on pulse points

One thing that I would like to point out is that this fragrance seems to sit very differently on people. I would strongly recommend testing this on yourself before buying, not just because you love the smell on someone else (this is a good rule of thumb anyway will all fragrances!)

I will definitely keep wearing this, makes getting ready in the morning that extra bit nicer!

I actually didn't realise this scent was very hyped/marketed. Years ago now I saw an ad in a Vanity Fair, smelled it and knew I'd found the new scent for me. I'm on my second bottle of the 50ml EDP.

I love it. I wear it almost every day (switching up with J'adore). I still often get compliments on it when I am out. I am a fan of floral perfumes, and this one just really hits the mark for me every time. I particularly like the jasmine undertones.

I also really like the bottle, I think it is exceptionally pretty, but nicely designed for the name of the fragrance. You don't need to use a lot, I generally just use one spray for my neck/wrists and it lasts well.
