I believe this perfume is so popular for a reason and I would recommend it. Flowerbomb has a quality that I can't quite stomach. If you like one and not the other, still try the other one. i don’t understand the comparisons however just wanted to point this out for those confused or wanting the final verdict :). It smells exactly like drinking a sugary sweet tea outside, near a bed of flowers. I'm surprised how much my opinion has changed!! Hos Campingudstyr.dk har vi altid masser af gode tilbud på campingudstyr. Only downside is that this scent is extremely popular, and I've smelled it on countless people. The sillage is great and it is long-lasting for me. When it’s a fresh juice, it smells bright, pink floral. Fragrantica® Inc, San Diego, CA United States. !Its still a great perfume dont get me wrong.But i find a bit similar to LVEB from Lancome.And V&R price are not cheap so thats why but if you love sweet powdery scent this is a great one to try. My first comment here in Fragrantica. I fell for the hype, I bought myself a bottle and I really don’t like it. First, they didn't have testers of this fragrance available but they did of Intense Dark Exclusive so I sniffed that one. I have pretty strong feelings about this perfume. My first zara fragrance to try and impressed by the quality of the juice. Longevity is great. It's not aggressively floral- or really aggressively one thing. On my skin, it’s quite light and a skin scent. It's a nice fragrance from Zara, and I enjoy the sweet, coconut and honey notes that come through. When I went shopping at Nordstrom, one of the sales associate ran after me just to ask what perfume I am wearing bec she loves it so much. She had turquoise, long bob hair, might’ve been in her late 30s, early 40s, the sweetest, kindest, welcoming person who immediately lifted my vibes with her positive demeanor & joyful attitude, super helpful too. I can imagine what it smells like, it would be someone passing me by with a bouquet of patchouli, a very sweet spicy latte (think Starbucks) and a leather jacket. I requested her everytime I needed to speak to a counselor lol. I think as a so called classic people are expected to love it or else you run the risk of not being sophisticated, classy or not a serious perfume lover. Smells boring, generic. I need someone to explain the appeal of this perfume to me. I can see why many people like the Zara frag – it’s a killer in longevity and has good silage in compare to a lot of more expensive to expensive fragrances– I have a bottle of the Zara frag which I hardly use – bought it together with the other tobacco which I like better. To my nose, there are better Zara releases (even the other fragrance from the tobacco set has more depth to it than RWA). Pretty interesting. To my nose I smell a deep vanilla with a swirl of a deep caramel syrup but it’s not overwhelming or sickly sweet (jpg scandal is sickly sweet to my nose) I don’t pick up any coconut but a little bit of sandal wood and honey is there! Finally I ran across it just yesterday. Fits in very well within the tobacco fragrance genre. I really try to stay away from EDTs, I hate how they behave on the skin, and I was impressed with how this EDP performed in store as I walked about with the sample on my arm. One of my absolute favorites of the modern gourmand patchouli fragrances. It's nice, but a bit too cloying even for a gourmand guy like myself. Very thick kind of impression in its smell. All I could smell was tea! The price alone is enough to warrant a purchase and I’m sure glad I did! I had my teenage son smell and confirm this. Thought I’d share; tomorrow and Saturday, they’re giving away samples of Midnight and Night Vision, and deluxe size Flowerbomb creams in Toronto at the Eaton Centre for anyone who’s a fan or wants to try the fragrances. 2 Gorgeous Brunette Babes Pleasure 1 Eager Boner . It's all coconut in the beginning, teetering dangerously close to sunscreen, but allow it to breathe and a chocolate vanilla cake will emerge. I actually find it rather nauseating; it is the sort of sickly fragrance that might put you off of your food. It makes me feel very feminine when I wear it. I definitely smell bourbon vanilla, just like the Gelatelli ice cream, and my bf smells amaretto for the first few minutes! Usually, perfume lovers want to have their own little secret where people constantly want to know what they're wearing because nobody else has come across it. While I don't hate it, it did surprise me with how there is absolutely no tobacco note in it at all (and I did buy direct from Zara, so I know its not a fake). Once I threw out my ideas of how a fragrance named Flowerbomb should smell, I grew to adore it. How does no one notice the nauseating stale ambroxan in all of these zara frags? Every time I smell it, I fall in love over and over again. Fortelte til campingvogne fra bl.a. I know a lot of people say this is a copy of LVEB. People linger to catch a whiff. in both fragrances the honey and Tobacco are prominent, but Back to Black is a more softer a bit more fruity the cherry and raspberry are very prominent as well and the vanilla of course. The green/floral "bomb" of the beginning came and went rather quickly, and for most of its wear the scent profile is vanilla, floral bouquet, and hints of patchouli. Update: I also get an impression of chocolate, vanilla, and coffee in Rich Warm & Addictive, subtle but luscious. Anyone who has both should give it a try. Absolutely. This is not what I expected; I expected this to be more...floral. The smell is very nice, but the perfume is too expensive for what it is. A bit of tame, very refined patchouli, and donuts. Initially sweet with a coconut vibe. I like Flowerbomb Midnight and I've sprayed Flowerbomb Nectar once and liked that more. The blend of scents is in the tobacco realm but there doesn't seem to be a straight tobacco note. I don´t see myself wearing this at all. This smells pretty much like the super mega flop 24 Gold Elixir by Scentstory. The coconut is prominent which makes it summery but at the same time it's also kind of dark. The price is tremendous, so I've only been able to own two 1.7 oz bottles over the five years. I get a lot of compliments when I wear this which is definitely pleasing when you think no one can smell it on you. There is a mildness to this which is refreshing, compared to the "Bloom" flanker. I smelled a very slight jam like rose after the initial bergamot faded. Can't win 'em all I guess. The name of the perfume kisses wonderfully with the contents of the bottle. similar to la vie est belle by lancome but not as strong and more youthful. Smells nice. Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf Eau de P... (. OK, I was true believer that this one is just vanilla and nothing else. All I know is Flowerbomb smells similar to Black Orchid to me, BOTH remind me of a melted chocolate bar in a hot car. I didn't get much in the way of tobacco but it did seem pleasant, though if you are looking for an "old school"/"masculine" tobacco you might find this to be too "feminine.". A completel fail! This barely costs anything! It has good longevity and projection. I like patchouli when blended well and used with a bit of restraint - this is not it. It's meant to be more of a floral scent but I definitely smell a lot of sweetness in it too. Top notes are Tea, Bergamot and Osmanthus; middle notes … Whatever flowers were in this at first were créme-bruléed to oblivion 3 nanoseconds into it. Whereas jazz club evolves into a similar vibe than The One, RWA stays pretty linear; I'd say RWA only loses complexity as time passes by. truly a great fragrance. It develops into a pleasant skin scent in a few hours. Alright, i tested it today in the zara shop on the skin, it smells really good like a sweet bubblegum i get mostly coconot honey and a bit of tobacco, at first couple hours it projected really really good on me 2 arms length i can say. It lasts longer than your average perfume and it draws compliments. Revisited after 5 or more years. After 10 minutes I could no longer smell this scent at all, and I put the whole sample vial on my neck, sweater, and wrist. It kind of reminded me of Mugler Angel, which I love-hated from afar and couldn‘t make work for me, with the difference that Flowerbomb absolutely did work for me. I have recently purchased a bottle of this. It should be labeled unisex. As far as niche-level quality, the next best bang-for-the-buck I’ve come across is Eau De Baux by L'Occitane for $65 a few years back, more than triple the price of R/W/A.
