Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb was launched in 2005, created by Olivier Polge, Carlos Benaim, Domitille Michalon Bertier and Dominique Ropion. It has notes of Sambac jasmine, osmanthus, freesia, and Centifolia rose on a patchouli background. A walk in your own private flower garden. Beautiful and freaky sweet, it has become a reference point for this type of fragrance. This is an EDP, eau de parfum.
Fragrantica - "Opens up bright and floral. The combo of flowers is so enchanting. As it progresses its sweetness intensifies. It is sweet but not in an annoying way. It has character and depth. A bouquet of pink and white flowers wrapped in caramel and patchouli. Caramelized jasmine petals. Not complex or challenging. It is perfectly balanced. Beautiful."
Fragrantica - " it is not meant to be complex or mind-blowing. It is meant to be a straightforward sweet floral which is brilliant. I am admittedly biased because each time I wear this around strangers, I get stopped in my tracks. I secretly wish that I could always answer that I was wearing something more exotic or "high-end" that took forever to form in a curated collection- however I've learned what smells best on an individual isn't always the "holy grail" of the perfume world."
Fragrantica - "From a man’s point of view this is the best female fragrance ever produced. It’s unbelievably attractive. The first time I ever smelled it was at work and I wandered around the building following the scent trail until someone told me what it was. I bought it for my girlfriend and every time she wears it I can’t get enough of her."

...of "Raid" insect spray and mass-marketed S'More-flavored white chocolate, not a scent I want to experience for long. I washed the sample away after only an hour or so, instead of allowing it to "set" and mature for a least four hours (my usual practice with any new perfume). It also carries the harsh overtones of whatever the fixative is that's being used in it.

Generally I hate sweet perfumes, so I can't say why this one is one of my favorite scents. It may be that the patchouli is more prominent on my skin than on others, but I find it ripe and rounded, beautifully constructed, and firmly grounded on a base of earth. I also note that, while my husband enjoys all my perfume experiments, it's only when I'm wearing Flowerbomb that he actually follows me around the house sniffing. There are rarer and more sophisticated perfumes, but there no perfumes more purely pretty than this one.
