The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013 by Viktor&Rolf and crafted by perfumers Carlos Benaïm, Domitille Michalon Bertier, and Olivier Polge, Flowerbomb Extreme 2013 is a bold Oriental Floral fragrance that takes the iconic floral notes of its predecessor to new heights. The composition opens with bergamot and tea, creating a bright, crisp foundation before diving into a heart of orchid, jasmine sambac, osmanthus, freesia, orange blossom, and rose. This lush bouquet is anchored by vanilla, benzoin, patchouli, amber, and musk, which lend warmth and depth to the scent.
Flowerbomb Extreme 2013 has a strong presence from its opening notes, so one or two sprays are sufficient to make an impact. The fragrance blooms over time, so it's best applied before an event for the full experience. Avoid using it in very warm weather as the spicy and amber notes may read too heavy.
