The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Viktor&Rolf and crafted by perfumers Carlos Benaïm, Domitille Michalon Bertier, and Olivier Polge, Flowerbomb Christmas 2012 Edition is a bold floral oriental that captures the essence of the festive season. The fragrance opens with bright citrus notes that give way to a heart of rose and fruity accords, creating a vibrant contrast against its woody and patchouli base. This composition embodies the exuberance and warmth of holiday celebrations, blending crisp freshness with rich depth.
Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow its rich florals and woody base notes to unfold gradually. It reads best close to the skin, so a few targeted spritzes will ensure it stays intimate rather than overwhelming.
