Flowerbomb Bomblicious
by Viktor&Rolf
Bomblicious is a light, sparkling take on Viktor&Rolf's Flowerbomb, featuring bright citrus top notes of bergamot, grapefruit, and mandarin orange that quickly fade into a delicate powdery floral heart of rose, jasmine, and black currant. The drydown is soft and musky, with a cashmere wood and patchouli base that adds a subtle woody depth but does not anchor the scent. While some note a resemblance to Jean Nate or Bon Bon due to its sweet, fruity floral effect, many find it underwhelming, its performance fading rapidly within an hour. It is best suited for warm days and summer wear, with sillage that remains moderate to intimate. The fragrance lacks longevity and depth, giving off a delicate, almost fleeting impression that some perceive as chemically or cheapened.
Pros
- +It offers a lighter, more wearable alternative to the original Flowerbomb, making it ideal for those sensitive to heavy, syrupy florals.
- +The citrus opening provides a bright, refreshing burst that enhances its suitability for summer and daytime wear.
- +It is well-received by those who dislike the original Flowerbomb’s cloying richness and find this version more balanced and breathable.
Cons
- −Longevity is consistently poor—most users report it fading within an hour, making it impractical for extended wear.
- −The scent often feels unbalanced and vague, resembling a diluted or uneven version of the original Flowerbomb.
- −The drydown can become sharp and slightly artificial, particularly on sensitive skin, leading to a less pleasant experience over time.
