The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Viktor&Rolf, Flowerbomb Swarovski Edition 2016 is a collaboration that brings together the creative vision of four renowned perfumers: Carlos Benaïm, Dominique Ropion, Domitille Michalon Bertier, and Olivier Polge. This Oriental Floral fragrance opens with bright citrus notes from bergamot and tea, which mingle with the delicate florals of jasmine, orange blossom, freesia, and rose. As the composition evolves, a powdery musk and patchouli base adds depth and warmth, creating a scent that is both luxurious and inviting.
Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow its complex notes to unfold gradually. The citrus and floral top notes are bright but fleeting, so aim for multiple lighter sprays throughout the day rather than one heavy application at once.
