Viktor & Rolf
Flowerbomb EDP
“A bouquet that detonates — florals at full volume, with a patchouli fuse.”
Viktor & Rolf's 2005 flagship women's release — a sweet floral built on a patchouli-vanilla base, with jasmine, rose, and freesia in the heart. Authored by a four-perfumer team (Olivier Polge, Carlos Benaïm, Domitille Michalon Bertier, Dominique Ropion), it became the house's signature scent and seeded a flanker line that's still expanding two decades later. Versatile across seasons, day-to-night.
