Viktor & Rolf
Flowerbomb Nectar EDP
“Flowerbomb after the explosion, when the sweetness settles in for the night.”
A 2018 Flowerbomb flanker by Viktor & Rolf — gunpowder and cassis in the top, over an osmanthus heart and a sweet vanilla base. Smokier and more resinous than the original Flowerbomb. Wears strongest in fall and winter, evening.
The take
What works
- ●Everything Flowerbomb fans wanted — richer, darker, more seductive
- ●Vanilla-patchouli base pushes it firmly into gourmand territory
- ●Exceptional longevity and projection — fills a room
Trade-offs
- ●If the original was already too sweet, this goes further
- ●Strictly cold-weather and evening — wrong elsewhere
