The story behind the bottle.
Flowerbomb Holiday Limited Edition 2018 by Viktor&Rolf was launched in 2018, capturing the essence of a festive season with its oriental floral composition. Created by perfumers Carlos Benaïm, Dominique Ropion, Domitille Michalon Bertier, and Olivier Polge, this fragrance combines citrus freshness with the warmth of white florals and sweet notes. The opening is bright and zesty with lime and tea, giving way to a heart filled with osmanthus, jasmine, orange blossom, freesia, rose, and orchid. The base notes of musk and patchouli add depth and a lingering warmth that echoes the cozy ambiance of the holiday season.
This fragrance opens up quickly but builds gradually on the skin. Apply it lightly to pulse points for a more intimate experience or use a bit more if you want to enjoy its full warmth throughout the day.
