The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017, Flowerbomb Gold Edition by Viktor&Rolf is an Oriental Floral fragrance created by perfumers Olivier Polge, Carlos Benaïm, Domitille Michalon Bertier, and Dominique Ropion. This composition opens with a vibrant mix of bergamot and osmanthus before diving into the heart of rich florals like rose, jasmine, and freesia, all anchored by patchouli and musk in the base. The fragrance is a luxurious blend that balances freshness with warmth, making it both sophisticated and inviting.
Flowerbomb Gold Edition has a rich base that takes time to bloom. Apply it lightly and allow at least an hour for the full depth of the fragrance to emerge. It's best suited for evening wear or special occasions, where its warmth can truly shine.
