Victoria Flower Orchid

I blind bought this fragrance based on the notes and the reviews, I'm not familiar with FB Ruby Orchid either. At first I wasn't completely sure I like it, even considered returning. But there's something in it that made me wanting more... There's a bit medicinal/ old lady like note (maybe the vine?) which I absolutely adore. It reminds me of something from my childhood that I find incredibly comforting and intoxicating. I couldn't stop sniffing it all day, so I decided to keep it. I feel like summer heat is not exactly it's time to shine, it isn't too much or headache inducing, but I think it will be more beautiful in colder temperature. Longevity and sillage is fantastic: two sprays can almost fill a room and it stays a good 10-12 hours on skin and days on clothes. In my opinion it is quite unique and easily recognizable too, great signature scent material. I bought it for dirt cheap and it's worth every penny. I absolutely love how it radiates around me, can't wait for chilly autumn days to wear.

I blind bought this as part of a larger order. I had sampled the original V & R and it was nice but underwhelming. This is better than the original and quite a beautiful surprise. For me the orchid is the standout note and indeed it's just like walking into a hot house where orchids are blooming, in fact, it took me back to childhood and my uncle's greenhouse where he grew different varieties of orchids. We also had outings to shows put on by the local Orchid Society, a delicious sensory experience. I just love VFO, it's a perfect sophisticated and sexy fragrance that is also an amazing buy. I'm not always a fan of Maison Alhambra's offerings (although their Delina dupe is amazing) but this one is a true sultry stunner.

Update: Both my wife and I go retard over this stuff. Probably the best cheapy you can get with this level of seductive yumminess. The ordinary Victoria Flower is similar in heart but never as bedroom oriented as this. This is just a first impression from shooting it into the box last night and huffing it this morning. I blind bought this from the few ratings and love scores. No regrets . I shot it in the box and huffed it into immediate LOVE. Thick Vanillic Fruity Seduction. Can't wait to smell it on my wife. I'm pretty sure I will wear it some weekend. This is bananas!! Crazy yummy scent.

My wife chose to wear this today and she is self seducing...she's huffing herself at times with....god I smell so good!! I concurr. This stuff is bedroom date material. Sinful sensual vanilla soft fruity orchid decadence in a scent. An instant classic. If you like stuff like hypnotique poison this goes in that intoxicating direction. I'm glad she loves it as it's a blind buy for Valentines Day.

I just received this last night and I was blown away. This is a total dead ringer for FB Ruby Orchid. I can safely say I like it better than Ruby Orchid. It has strong silage, and I can still smell it on my wrist after almost 13 hours. I can't believe I was able to find 3.5oz bottle of this for only $25. This is definitely going to be one of my go-to office/work casual fragrances.

This is for sure a favorite. Out of my 150+ perfumes, this is the only one my husband has ever specifically requested that I wear. It costs next to nothing, which is crazy to me. I think this is completely safe blind buy, can’t go wrong. I’ve already purchased a backup.

I have not smelled FB Ruby Orchid, but bought this because of the notes --- and I love it, it is gorgeous!

It’s stays longer on the skin then the original. Beautiful scent. Love it!

Spot on dupe for Flowerbomb Ruby Orchid with better lasting power!

Beautiful! It’s a fairly simple fragrance but very pretty, feminine, warm, and sexy. The florals and peach are a bit fresh and then the vanilla comes in and this becomes a warm sultry scent. I’ve let this sit for about three weeks and it’s matured very nicely! Smelled a bit cheap at first but now is so much better! So, don’t evaluate it at first sniff. It is one of those fragrances that can be worn in any season but I actually think this would smell it’s best in cooler weather! I haven’t smelled the V&R version so I can’t speak to how similar it may be, but on its own it is a great fragrance at a fantastic price!

I haven't smelled FB ruby orchid so can't compare but all I smell is orchid and vine, no vanilla or peach at all.

The scent is STRONG on my skin and clothes!!! This is NOT a safe blind buy. It gives me a migraine. I hate being negative. Someone else may enjoy it, but please smell it first. I must not be a big fan of orchids.

Stronger than the inspiration/ OG and dry down was identical. Especially on clothes. Still gonna hold onto my Ruby Orchid but it’s not special that you would need both. This is similar enough. Longevity is substantially better than ruby orchid.

Not a successful blind buy. It starts of as a cheap pink soda can, gives a faint vanilla sweetness and disappears. I got about an hour in skin. I really wanted to enjoy it. Hoping a few months in a closet will do the trick!

Purchased this to try since I ran out of my Ruby orchid, and glad I did! This is a much stronger, longer lasting version of the original! So if you love FB ruby, save your money!

I hate it.. smells gross not feminine at all, well not my type of feminine .I bought it after reading notes on Fragrantica and reviews, well what a dud is all I can say
