The story behind the bottle.
Flowerbomb Extreme by Viktor&Rolf was launched in 2006 and created by perfumers Olivier Polge, Carlos Benaïm, and Domitille Michalon Bertier. This Oriental Floral fragrance is a bold and vibrant composition that opens with the bright zest of bergamot and white flowers before giving way to rich jasmine and osmanthus. The warmth of vanilla and amber intertwines with the earthy depth of patchouli and benzoin, creating an enveloping embrace that balances floral sweetness with spicy complexity.
Flowerbomb Extreme has a strong presence from its opening notes. One or two sprays are enough to capture its essence without overpowering. The scent blooms over time, so it’s best applied just before you step out for the day. It reads better close to skin than across a room.
