Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Dew

Flowerbomb Dew is the enchanting new fragrance from Viktor and Rolf.

A whimsical and captivating reinterpretation of the original iconic Flowerbomb, Flowerbomb Dew offers a softer, sensual and delicate floriental experience.

An exquisite ode to femininity, Flowerbomb Dew creates an air of purity, lingering lightly on your skin as if you were wearing a precious piece of lace.

The prized nectar is captured within an elegant, transparent, pearlescent diamond grenade which mimics the scents second skin elements.

Designed to be light like the drop of moisture on a morning rose, the softness of the light pearl hints at the luminous juice within while its instantly recognisable Flowerbomb shape reminds you of the luxurious, multi-layered notes waiting to be explored.

Instead of possessing traditional top, mid and base notes, Flowerbomb Dew features three sumptuous accords which effortlessly swirl together to create this elegant and sensual scent.

Delicate Dew is the first accord you’ll experience and features fresh, juicy notes of soft pear, bergamot and ambrette combined with dewy, fresh sparkling rose with a hint of vibrant pink pepper.

The Sensual Accord offers an addictively feminine element with living rose lace and orris with an almondy, creamy vanilla addiction of Heliotrope Accord, combined with the woody, ambery, musky sensuality of Cashmeran.

The Second-Skin Accord then creates a powdery, soft and enveloping musk with Hedenolide Musk,  Ambrette Seeds Absolute and Vanilla Bean CO2 Extract.

Multi-faceted, intriguing and effortlessly elegant, it is a wonderfully soft, romantic fragrance that melts onto your skin, becoming one with you.

As captivating and beautiful as the early morning drops of moisture on beautiful roses, Flowerbomb Dew offers an iridescent, glowing floral experience that radiates both grace and charm.

An inspired addition to the Flowerbomb collection of scents, Flowerbomb Dew is available now exclusively at Debenhams before becoming available at retailers nationwide on 26th February.

Flowerbomb Nectar

I love it when Fragrance Houses launch new editions or special edition fragrances based on a pre-existing, iconic scent.

 If you are already big fans of the original then it gives you the opportunity to explore a scent which is likely to be similar to the one you love but that features new, exciting and intriguing notes.

It’s for this very reason that I was EXTREMELY excited when I saw that Viktor and Rolf had launched Flowerbomb Nectar.

I am a mega fan of the original and simply adore its soft, addictive, feminine, gourmand-floral notes.

It’s one of those fragrances that is instantly recognisable when you smell it and for someone like me who loves sweet scents, it is the perfect combination of sweet yet delicately floral.

Flowerbomb Nectar is in my opinion, equally beautiful, recognisable and undeniably feminine.

Housed in a gorgeous multi-faceted vessel, the Nectar bottle mirrors the original in design yet in form it is actually a shorter, wider octagon shaped bottle. 

Retaining all the beauty of its iconic predecessor you can see the delicate pink nectar within through the glass. 

Described as being a ‘sensual floriental’ scent, Flowerbomb Nectar offers an explosion of floral notes coupled with a surprising twist.

While it retains many of the same gorgeous notes as the original (Bergamot, Jasmine, Vanilla & Patchouli) it also contains a blend of notes which together create a mysterious, sensual and in some ways, a more intense fragrance. 

The fragrance opens with top notes of Bergamot, Blackcurrant and surprisingly, Gunpowder Accord.

This unusual note creates an almost metallic freshness against the sweet and floral bergamot and blackcurrant, tantalising your senses!

Top notes melt away to reveal a delicate and feminine floral nectar of Sambac Jasmine and Orange Flower combined with the familiar sweetness of Osmanthus.

The scent is completed with base notes of soft, creamy vanilla, patchouli and warm,spicy tonka bean which create the addictive gourmand element that I love so much!

The overall result is a fragrance that explodes upon application, releasing a combination of soft, sweet, floral and intense notes that capture your senses and leave you feeling draped in sensuality.

It is a stronger scent in many ways from Flowerbomb and the Gunpowder Accord is actually really quite powerful until the scent has lingered on your skin for some time.

Once the top notes fade you are left with a fragrance that is sweeter and fiercer than its predecessor.

Flowerbomb Nectar most certainly has not disappointed!

I find it a thrilling addition to the Flowerbomb line of fragrances and feel that in terms of wear, it is well suited as an evening scent thanks to the sensual and intense nature of its notes.

 Flowerbomb Nectar is available now from The Fragrance Shop and costs £57.50 for 30ml.

Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb Extreme

Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb is one of my favourite scents. It is sophisticated, addictive and unquestionably, beautiful.

Imagine my sheer joy then when I stumbled across Flowerbomb Extreme, a darker, richer, deeper more intense version of the original scent.

Flowerbomb Extreme features the same multifaceted shaped bottle only this time the bottle is almost the colour of an amethyst, gorgeously violet and crimson and rich.

The fragrance itself features some of the same signature floral notes as Flowerbomb however the intensity of the essential oils have been heightened to create a longer lasting, deeper and warmer experience- this is definitely more of an evening or winter scent, for example.

 

 Top notes of Manderin and grapefruit replace Flowerbomb’s Bergamot and Tea before familiar heart notes of Sambac Jasmine, Freesia and Orchid are introduced also to Rose.

Base notes of Essential Oils, Patchouli and Amber create a stunning, powerful and warm well rounded scent that is as equally addictive and recognisable as the original.

 

I love Flowerbomb Extreme. I adore being able to smell a fragrance for hours after its been applied and I’m a fan of powerful scents so this is right up my street.

On a more basic and superficial level I also really love the pretty purple bottle too!

Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb Extreme is available now and costs £80 for 50ml.
