Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Flowerbomb Eau de Toilette by Viktor&Rolf, launched in 2007 and created by perfumers Carlos Benaïm, Domitille Michalon Bertier, and Olivier Polge, is a bold floral explosion. It opens with bright citrus notes of tangerine and orange, which mingle seamlessly with the spicy kick of pink pepper. As it develops, freesia and osmanthus join jasmine and rose to create a bouquet that feels both lush and contemporary. The base notes of patchouli, cashmere wood, and amber lend warmth and depth, grounding the scent in earthy sensuality.
One to two sprays are sufficient as the opening notes of tangerine and pink pepper are quite bright but fade after an hour. The heart and base notes carry through most of the day, so it's best applied in the morning for maximum impact.
