Viktor & Rolf’s Fragrant Flowerbomb Bursts with Beauty

October 9th, 2010 by Karen 17 Comments

Written by Katie

Always exercise caution when playing with extravagant explosives. Take it from Blogger Katie of My Lips But Better, as she pulls the pin on one such Flowerbomb in her guest post today.

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb
Doesn’t the bottle look warm and inviting?

I’m not a big perfume collector, but Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb ($100 for 1.7 fl. oz) was an instant hit with me.

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb

Seems a little strange considering the name, but Flowerbomb is actually less flowery than you might think. When I first spray it on me or in the air, I get some jasmine, freesia, and rose, but very quickly that subsides into creamy vanilla, bergamot, and patchouli. Not the dirty hair patchouli either – just a hint of spicy goodness. The scent is so cozy that I often spritz a bit right before bed to help me relax.

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb

Viktor & Rolf got a little cheeky with this packaging. If you’re more observant than I was, you’ll see it’s a tiny pink grenade with diamond-like facets. Who would’ve thought that a tiny pink grenade could carry so much loveliness? It’s a little over the top, but it definitely brings an element of luxury to my dresser.

Is it sad to admit that my beloved Flowerbomb is one of the reasons I’m excited for fall? I don’t really care, because it’s true!

Flowerbomb’s available at Sephora and many department stores. Stop by and give it a whiff when you can.

Toodles,
Katie

    Thanks Katie. This is one of the prettiest bottles I’ve seen in a long time. I just checked and Sephora has it in smaller sizes, but I want the big one you have. 🙁

    Oh, I’ve been wanting to try this for a while now. Everytime I was in my Sephora store this spring, they were sold out. Maybe I’ll try again with F&F coming soon…..thanks for this review!!

    I would like to echo the expensive sentiment – but think I’ll take the chance of buying at a discount Fragrance store or the fragrance outlet websites. It’s not much much cheaper but honestly, saving about 20 and getting a big bottle sounds pretty good.

    Is there a particular age range you would give this scent?

    This is one of my favourite scents but I don’t own it yet because it is quite pricey. I is definitely on my shopping list.

    I just got it last week and no doubt it smells heavenly…….really wish the price tag was on lower side. It’s a great gift option for a special someone!

    Mmm, love this perfume! I want a bottle of it, but I need to really go through a lot of other perfume in my cupboard before getting a new one.

    I have been hearing wonderful reviews about Flowerbomb for so long that I finally bought the big bottle and ended up with a second full sized bottle as a gift. The problem is that this perfume doesn’t work for me at all.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
