Flowerbomb (for women)

Designer: Viktor&Rolf Olfactive Group: Oriental

An explosive bouquet of fresh and sweet notes arrives with the perfume Flowerbomb, designed by Olivier Polge, Carlos Benaim and Domitille Berthier. It was introduced in 2005, as an oriental perfume. The top notes tingle with fresh and sweet accords of bergamot and green tea. The heart is floral and opulent with intensive, sweet and pure jasmine, seductive rose, freesia and orchid. Sandalwood in the base wraps us with an oriental scent while its milky and powdery notes gently fondle with our skin. The bottle was designed by Fabien Baron, in shape of diamond-granate, alluding at the fragrance itself, since it is so explosive, sophisticated and glamorous. It was introduced at the 10th anniversary of Viktor&Rolf house’s work. It is available as 30, 50 and 100 ml edp.

In a class of its own! You feel beautiful just wearing it after the bottom notes come alive. One problem I find is EVERYONE IS WEARING IT so the magic is gone:(

I could sense the bergamot for a while, and that was pleasing because I enjoy citruses very much. Also, the bergamot also mixed very pleasantly with the heavy vanilla here, wich seems like an odd combination, but it worked very well here. That was the most interesting part of the fragrance for me after that faded, well....The fragrance is nice, lovely, cute, charming, somewhat timid, but, not stimulating or captivating for me. I did not find it overly sweet, as other reviewers noted. The fixation is very weak.

This fragrance is so beautiful it almost hurts!

The name is totally misleading – you wont get punched in the face by flowers; no you will rather be greeted by a warm, sweet, heavenly scent, which is simply perfection! Pure pleasure for the nose!

"Flowerbomb" is happiness in a bottle! Joy, peace and harmony is coming to my mind – you cannot feel bad wearing this fragrance!

Men seem to respond VERY positive to this fragrance – they really like to smell it and always comment in favour of the fragrance.

It is a bit pricey – but we girls are worth it ;-)

One of my favourite..mmm it smells divine i had a 1 oz bottle i bought during a vacation and i used the whole botttle(wich is not so often for me,i get bored quickly).Everyone i know has loved this great frag.Its very longlasting too.Too me it doesnt feel like a flowerbomb,more sweet and pretty..
06/20/09 14:02:10
 
So lovely! It is a gorgeous sweet floral.
It is a floral that makes you feel sweet but sexy at the same time! It is really nice only downfall is that it doesn't last very long on my skin. It is a really nice fragrance and a great bottle x
06/19/09 17:09:26
guest_Fragance lover!
I think is unique and the price justifies it u dont want everyone to have it or smell like u!!! I think for what it is the price is good! have it and love it
06/19/09 16:51:05
a 10+ for hollivomitsyou! :) it should be named "candybomb" because it is rather sweet than flowery. and i also have to agree with Ester: the fragrance is ridiculously expensive :(
06/15/09 05:26:58
This is one delicious bottle of perfume. I agree it does smell similar to Escada Magnetisim and even Roberto Cavalli. It's warm and sweet and I love the design of the bottle. Many people lable it as fruity, but I don't get alot of the fruit, but it's very, very sweet. That much I do agree with. I want Paco Rabanne Black XS, but I hear it smells alot like Flowerbomb, which I already have. So, I may not purchase it. This is a very lovely fragrance though.

this perfume my has just bought ,she wares it everyday now because she says the scent is like a rich roses
05/25/09 02:32:15
This is a "happy" fragrance. So sweet, fresh, delightful, perky and youthful.
I would recommend it to girls on diet- Flowerbomb will satisfy their appetite for candies and pastry.
I love it!
05/19/09 10:53:49
I totally agree. Flowerbomb smells VERY similar to Can Can by P. Hilton. Hard to believe but it's true! At a fraction of the cost, Can Can is a much better deal, however, it is sweeter than Flowerbomb but they do share the same notes. In my last review I said that FB didn't last, but I gave it another try and it is lasting, it is just more subtle than what I was looking for at the time. The rose and orchid in this one are beautiful and change over time. Just when I think it has settled and will need refreshing, I get an intoxicating whiff of modern rose that is anything but settled. I kept looking around to see what the smell was and realized it was me! It is now the newest member of my perfume collection and is beautiful.

I gave this one another try after comparing to Escada Magnetism. It is actually softer and lighter than Magnetism. I kept getting whiffs of a beautiful rose smell, not the old grandmother type of rose perfume, but something more elegant and intoxicating and I kept thinking it smelled very familiar to something else besides Magnetism.

It actually smells a lot more like Can Can by P. Hilton, than Magnetism, however, but not as sweet. Can Can and Flowerbomb share the same notes.
05/19/09 10:21:08
It is warm and creamy. If I didn't know better I'd say patchouli was a note. It's very similar in my opinion to Neonatura Cocoon and Prada. Very comfortable and not heavy like I'd anticipated.
05/17/09 14:36:03
This fragrance is so sweet, lovely and most comforting!

It remins me of my lazy Sunday's spent in my pyjamas....eating tons of vanilla ice cream for breakfast (straight off the package ;-)) and watching my favourite soaps all day long!

Simply perfect! :-) :-) :-)
05/11/09 00:53:04
I liked it when I went to the counter to smell it. But when I actually owned a bottle, I realized that I didn't. My husband realized it as well. A note in there is just too strong for me. And something about it makes me dizzy...but not in a good way. It has a very sweet floral scent. I think people have described it as sweet floriental...which sounds pretty accurate. It comes in a beautiful bottle. And the lotion is actually quite nice. (I prefer IT over the perfume)....but the scent just wasn't for me. Too bad.
05/05/09 12:03:00
Its like a velvety soft blanket covering my skin.It made me feel comfortable,relaxed and happy.I love the mild sweetness of this perfume.To me it is very Classy & Sexual.It has been on my skin for hours & I have only sprayed it twice.This is exactly the kind of scent I like.Sweet yet flowery & not overwhelming.
04/27/09 19:29:04
For a scent named flowerbomb, I thought there would be more floral notes to it. Was I wrong, I can sense some rose but mostly I get the sandalwood tying all of the other notes together, so one part of the name 'bomb' is right. This scent blasted me with bergamot at first and then almost immediately the sandalwood started to wrap around me like a spicy smoky veil caressing the other notes into a subtle floral with a punch of spice. I have to let this sit for longer and see how it is in about 4 hours. So far I really like it!
04/25/09 17:41:36
this one is nice. i would say it's more of a candybomb than a flowerbomb. for the price though, i could buy a couple of other bottles that i like even better. the packaging is sweet though, and my husband really liked this one on me which is a plus, right?
addition: reminds me of gucci rush with more sugar.
04/25/09 17:10:12
I rather go for the interesting and original perfumes, then for the pleasant ones (if you know what I mean), but this one is just beautiful – simple and perfectly balanced flowery composition. It will be good in almost any situation and I think everyone will like it. Unfortunately it’s ridiculously expensive in my country.
04/16/09 12:28:58
 
I liked at the first spray and excpeted it would become one of my favorites. But it didnt happen but still like the scent and would like to give it another chance with a second botle.
03/15/09 11:04:50
was at the department store to get a gift card for my friend. Not even paying attention I just grabbed the display of Flowerbomb and sprayed it on my wrist. It smelled delicious. Like warm sugarcovered flowers. Don't smell fruit. I knew I had to have it. I dropped hints and got it for Christmas. If only picking perfumes were always this easy
03/14/09 21:27:37
Yes, flowery and warm and powdery. Sweet, but balanced so it is not overwhelming, feminine!
I will be choosing now between original and sparkle edition, i love them both!
03/10/09 10:02:36
I had to get a sample of this to see what all the hype was about--and the price! I have to say I'm a little disappointed. It IS a nice floral, but to me there isn't anything remarkable about it. And after 20 minutes I can barely smell it.

I have so many florals that I like better, which cost a fraction of what this does. Not bad, but I will not be purchasing this.
03/06/09 09:16:54
This is so soft on my skin. Candy like floral. Love the name, the bottle and everything about it. I'm so happy to add this to my collection. Will wear this this spring and summer a lot..
03/05/09 04:13:58
I was impressed with this perfume. I thought the bottle was very creative and unique and the scent equally as creative.

Although this fragrance doesn't really appeal to my tastes in perfume, I can appreciate Flowerbomb for what it is.

Flowerbomb is a strong floral with beautiful hints of vanilla. The scent is sweet and powdery without being too overpowering and is warm and soft on the skin.

This fragrance is along the lines of Angel by Thierry Mugler in the way it has been uniquely composed and in popularity. Like Angel, this fragrance either grabs you or disinterests you.

I might have considered purchasing this perfume if it wasn't so expensive, however I understand that Viktor & Rolf are an exclusive brand and wish to be noted in same league as Chanel and Guerlain.

02/24/09 04:23:45
i spritzed a sample of this and immediately loved it...it's rich, warm, and sweet yet very floral at the same time...it just smells very luxurious, and nice. it's difficult to describe but it's quite strong, in a good way. however, being only 16, i don't think its very suitable for my age :P
02/21/09 20:34:22

If anybody gets the chance, compare flower bomb to Jessica Simpson's Fancy. I have both and if I didn't know which wrist I sprayed with what I wouldn't be able to tell you which was the more expensive Flower Bomb. Try it you may be suprised. I Was
02/12/09 05:42:17
MY first great, enormous and wonderful discovery in this 2009!!! .What a fragrance! What a perfume!!!

So sweet and floral , totally balanced, totally combined...you cant stop smelling the fragrance after hours... and your nose notices it all the time... It happens to me that after an hour or so, I didn´t notice the perfume I am wearing... but not with this one... wearing flowerbomb is such an experience!!!
02/03/09 20:41:00
 
Thank you Kahokero! Much appreciated!
I am off out today to have another look. I used the sample yesterday, it was lovely, I enjoyed it. So have decided to buy it when funds permit! Lizzie X
01/14/09 17:38:51
LizzieM, I think you should buy it. I believe that flowerbomb will become a new classic. The price is not too bad compared with Chanel fragrances. I bought a Christmas gift set myself. It really is a powerful fragrance - once it explodes, you can't do anything about it, just like a bomb. It is like heaps of flowers plus Hypnose - everything that is good is in it, so much that you almost feel that you can't take it all at once.
01/13/09 22:53:12
I tried this again, after having tested it years ago, I remember at the time I was trying various scents, so I think I was confusing the issue.
I am now torn between loving it and hating it!!! Grrrrrrrrrr, I would love it totally if it weren't so expensive and exclusive.
Shall I buy it? What do you guys think? I was given a sample which I shall wear and see how it feels.
01/12/09 15:40:27
I must say that i really like the style and idea of the bottle.
at first it smells flowery what i liked but after a second smell it was too sweet for me ..reminds me on Black XS.
im not really sure if i will buy it :/
12/22/08 04:48:00
I love it and the men who smell me love it :)

Sweet but not in a migrane inducing way! So femenine and soft.. so warm!!

I made the mistake of butying Paco Rabbane XS for her hoping it would be similar and NOTHING is a good for a sugary sweet fix as Flowerbomb!
12/20/08 11:06:13
Pretty and nearly edible first on, this dries down to a tea-like vanilla with sandalwood.
12/14/08 17:35:40
I love Flowerbomb. When I had a sample of it, my friend smelled me and told me that it's how I'm supposed to smell. It's so sweet and welcoming. I just wish it were less expensive. Santa can afford it but I hope I don't run out too quickly!
12/10/08 14:45:35
I didn't want to try this because the name wasn't promising me anything interesting...
Oww, I was so wrong! One day, with curiosity taking over I grabbed this dark violetty Extreme Flowerbomb and applied richly on my wrist. I didn't expect anything when received top notes.. and then... Blast! My heart was taken. And some friends too..
So, about EDP. Starts with citrusy notes, green tea is very detectable and nice. And then this scent develops.. And blasts all the captured flowers all around you. (For me something like fresh florals with a very faint chocolate, I might be wrong, but I think it's like this) This perfume is present with you all day long (Layering with anything faint smelling cream etc.- the golden key to good staying power) and never leaves you there alone unnoticed and not adored.

Next thing is... I never thought this would be sexy. Chypres are sexy... But this... oh my.. what does it do to men! It makes them crazy! And they adore it! (You!) They seems hardly can hold in their excitment about this :D Drop-dead sexy. It is perfume to take over the world. Dry-down is vanilla, sweet warm, very nice, take a rest :D

By the way, about lasting power- it lasts only it's not so detectable, but people around claimed that they feel perfume.
12/09/08 06:36:07
This is beautiful and I was instantly transported to euphoria upon smelling it. Then I realized it smelled sooooo familiar! Is it just me or does anyone think this smells EXACTLY like Escada's Magnetism, only without the staying power? A couple of minutes after spraying it on and POOF! it was gone.
12/03/08 09:39:02
I don't know if I would put this in the oriental group, I think it would fit more in the gourmand section. I shyed away for a long time, because I don't like the bottle with the handgranate design. Also the name Flowerbomb made be stay away, because I usually don't like flowery perfumes.
To me this is not a flowery perfume, rather a full bodied raspberry jam scent mixed with lovely running chocolate. Truly a delicious smell, very easy to like I would say. The problem is that it's not very long lasting, but that can be solved by putting some vegetable oil on the skin before applying the fragrance. I gave this a try yesterday about midnigth and the perfume is still lingering at my skin at noon. I have only a mini and I wish for a full bottle. This is a fragrance that can be compared to lolita lempicka, but it's still different.

For me Flowerbomb the fragance is seductive, sexy, smell so good taht made you feels good ,mysterius his fragance last longer than any other perfumedi love it because I leave a trail wherever i walk
11/28/08 11:45:45
I felt and finally he feels really good floral fresh I like a lot but I do not understand why this price :/
11/12/08 09:57:38
coco 76 said it just the way I feel about this perfime...it is sooo alluring and mysterious...dark and yet joyful...very feminine floral bouquet but still has sort of soft,powdery character...I have Flowerbomb oil and it is more intensive than the perfume...it's great for those evenings when you want to be noticed but without that ''smelled it somewhere'' kind of feeling....definitely one of my favourite feminine scents...but,too expensive sorely...
11/10/08 06:44:17
Flowerbomb is my *FAVORITE* perfume!!
I have got 8 perfumes in total, and I'm absolutely addicted to wearing Flowerbomb; it is my preference over everything, even when I feel I should be giving the other perfumes a bit of exposure...
I love it in the morning, I love it in the afternoon, I love it at night.
If there were 3 things I had to say that I like best about it (apart from the bottle - which is eye-candy at the very least), they would be:

- Bouquet of flowers; a heavenly explosion of a thousand floral scents. So delicious that the tiniest whiff gets you intoxicated, and the subtle trail of flowers you leave behind is like a goddess taking a walk through some mythical land...

- Positivity. It's so sweet, so flowery, so luscious, so seductive, that - literally - your mood is changed when you wear it. If you're depressed most of the time (like me) it can really lift your mood...

- Velvety smooth finish. This, I would say, is a combination of sweetness, the flowers, but most importantly the vanilla base. I LOVE vanilla. Ever since childhood, when we holidayed in Tahiti and brought back vanilla bean pods for our sugar pot, I've loved it. It is so smooth, so rich, so creamy, and as I said before: so veeeeeelvety smooth.

3 thumbs up from me ;P !!!
11/10/08 03:12:45
I only just found the Viktor and Rolph perfumes at my local. My friends I was shopping with all agreed there was something biscuity or "baked goodies-ish" about the top notes. We only got a spritz on a piece of card though so next time I'm going to put it on my skin.
10/30/08 23:23:40
 
It dosen't last very long... That's the only negative thing about this perfume. Try breathing close to your skin :)

I think I have become immune to it - after overspraying now I can't smell a thing!

For me it's too sweet - not flowery.
10/20/08 01:45:28
 
I love this perfume, and I don't care what anyone else thinks! I never get enough of sniffing it - it's just flowers, sweetness, and musk, vanilla - mmmm... Good enough to eat, except I wouldn't eat it! Charming and ultra-feminine. Hope it catches lots of boys! - lol, have only had it one day.
10/20/08 00:40:35
 
I know i complained about this perfumes short lasting scents. But i notised a sexy thing about it!
When you think the base is gone - breath on your skin and a subtile, warm, vanilla like scent appear!
10/16/08 20:28:30
At first, i didn't like it, nothing special. But that was when i smelled it directly from the bottle.
I tested it on my skin and it was absolutely wonderful! The first time i could really smell the difference from bottle vs. skin!
The scent was a bit strong in the begining, but after just a few minutes it smells sweet and powdery, but at the same time you get a hint of something fresh (i don't smell the citrus), i don't know what it is though... This parfume have it all without being to much. It's warm, spicy, sweet and fresh at the same time. The only thing i don't like, is that this parfume is not very lasting.
10/14/08 10:57:02
i didnt like this, it smells artificially classic, like if they wanted it to smell mysterious and elegant, but they put in too much of the "chemical x":), so for me its really forced and unpleasant on my skin as well as on the testing paper
09/28/08 07:33:48
Flowerbomb is the mysterious stranger at the party, drawing all the attention when they enter the room...the bergamot immediately commands your attention, and you are enticed by sweet tartness. Just when you think you can be friends, Flowerbomb is gone - POOF - leaving behind wisps of freesia and jasmine and making you wonder if you imagined the whole encounter. Not a long lasting perfume, but quite lovely and heady while its there.
09/27/08 16:55:11
 
Not bad, but nothing special in my opinion. It's a sweet fragrance on my skin.
09/26/08 13:39:51
yes, this is the expensive version of Paco Rabanne Black XS. Strong and sweet gourmand scent, but not overwhelming. Love it.
09/04/08 00:32:56
You definetely need to try this one. I just got it and I'm in love. It makes my mouth water...so sweet and soft.
08/29/08 20:01:34
 
i am very curious about this fragrance, i think i will get a sample. i have a feeling that it is something my sister will like as well, she has an obsession with chocolately scents.
08/22/08 10:14:43
Attaking, invading, and stimulating your brain cells in a strange manner.
Classy, sexy, exotic and extremely seductive. May be the sexiest women's scent available after the legendery POISON by Christian Dior.
08/22/08 09:45:32
by far my all time favorite scent! its incredible! its sweet,sexy,and just absolutely delicious! its definately worth the price. viktor & rolf did an amazing job creating this fragrance. the bottle and packaging have to be one of the best ever created. i see this fragance lasting forever. its a new classic. its florals are so sweet yet powdery. definately the best gourmand, desert like fragrance ever created. its so delicious that i wish it was edible. i just want to lick it off myself. the best of the best. all women need to experience and own this absolutely beautiful fragrance! i cant stop praising it!!!
08/20/08 11:28:43
I'm undecided about this one. It's a bit heavy for me, all the floral scents of it get overpowered by one sweet and strong note. I think it's the jasmine. I'll wear it a couple of times and make up my mind.
08/02/08 02:52:23
Just gave it another try, and this time flowerbomb is horribly sweet from beginning ...

It's definitely not a floral sweet, nor fruity or foody... not any of those kinds but a cheap synthetic yet never-cease sweetness. and it doesnt change much, just more caramel-like. The only good thing is its longevity, it can stay on your skin for the whole day even in muggy summer.

I think it's body chemistry thing. But there're lots of people experience the same with me. So it's better to sample before buy
07/15/08 10:40:41
 
no, no, no! Ewww... this is so sweet, I can't stand it. It also reminds me of Lagerfeld for men!
07/15/08 09:02:20
here's what I get from Flowerbomb: imagine being bathed in flowers AND chocolate drizzled with caramel. this is wonderful to say the least, so very RICH smelling. I at least feel as though I have money when I wear this!
07/07/08 15:18:21
AAAAA I love it I love it look lik Paco Robanne Black XS A lot but has a ritcher smell:)
06/26/08 02:53:50
Oh, I want this one! But I'll have to save up for it as it's one of the more expensive ones. The EDT is softer, but it still lasts a verrry long time. The EDP is a lot stronger, maybe not so good for humid weather. This is a beautiful floral. The vanilla and benzoin keep this scent from smelling too much like a garden (which is not a bad thing... if you're a rose bush) or a funeral - some florals have that effect. This is realllly well done. And the notes are surprisingly simple... less is more. I may have to break my budget and splurge on this one. Oscar Wilde did say that the best way to get rid of temptation is to give into it!
06/25/08 17:44:01
agree with flugeltje013, on me it smells really fruity, though there's no fruit note on the list. after few mins, I got the tea notes under the cloying sweet.

It's nice in some way, but just the type I hate...
05/30/08 23:34:25
I don't think it smells floral at all. It smells sweet and fruity. I love it, but try not to use it much because of the price :-)
04/30/08 08:53:16
I don't normally like florals, but a guy was insistent about spraying some for me on a card. I was surprised to find, I actually like a floral perfume. The scent was the same on my skin, 2 hours later. Normally florals turn sour on me. He said that this is Viktor&Rolf's first perfume to come to the States under Ralph Lauren. I hope they sell well, because I like their nose!
03/28/08 16:54:15
I love this one! Has a hint of Angel about it but not as heavy. So pretty and I find that men like it as have had plenty of compliments wearing it.
01/12/08 05:52:07
Well, it is what it is...a flowerbomb! Expensive, but worth it. It'll be mine eventually! The fragrance is incredibly powerful, but not too heavy. Sweet. fresh, pretty, luminous, flowery, delicious... all I can think of to describe it.
