The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021, Flowerbomb Ruby Orchid by Viktor&Rolf is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance for women crafted by perfumer Domitille Michalon Bertier. This composition opens with the freshness of peach and vine notes before transitioning into a heart of orchid that adds an enchanting floral warmth. The base is anchored by vanilla bean, creating a sweet and powdery finish that feels indulgent yet approachable.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers — it builds beautifully on skin over time. The fruity top notes are bright but fleeting, so the powdery base will carry you through the day. It pairs well with a cozy sweater or a soft cashmere wrap.
