The story behind the bottle.
Flowerbomb Holiday Edition 2017, launched by Viktor&Rolf in 2017 and crafted by perfumers Olivier Polge, Domitille Michalon Bertier, Carlos Benaïm, and Dominique Ropion, is a vibrant Oriental Floral fragrance that encapsulates the joyous spirit of the holiday season. The composition opens with a burst of bergamot and osmanthus, giving way to an intricate heart of orchid, orange blossom, jasmine, freesia, and rose. The base notes of musk and patchouli ground the fragrance, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels like a cozy hug.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm, long-lasting effect. It blooms best close to the skin, so layer it under your favorite sweater or dress. Avoid over-application; one spray per area is enough to capture its festive essence without overpowering.
