Bombshell London

Have quite a collection of Victoria Secret Bombshell flankers (Not the OG, Hate that one). This has become my signature for Any time of year/day (except summer). Now a huge fan of Cassis after finding this beauty. It's slightly sweet, a little vegetal and with a really good punch of Cassis.. Gorgeous x

The rose is the most intensive floral note in Bombshell London and is very fresh instead of powdery & sweet, which gives the fragrance clean/watery and 'green' overtone. The peony adds subtle peppery & sweeter undertones, providing some depth to the fragrance. The blackcurrant is also very clear and juicy and adds to the fresh and watery feel, as well as adding a clean & sharp sweetness. There also seems to be something like lotus, some tea leaf and a teensy squeeze of sweet citrus here too, to boost the strength of the key notes, but subtle enough not to take away from them and compete for attention. Bombshell London is exactly like the inspiration; it reminds me of walking through a fancy country estate garden after it has been raining. Such a wonderful representation of the uk - just beautifully done. Bombshell London has such authentic key note accords, that I really enjoy that the other scent notes are kept very subtle to keep the fragrance uncluttered and clean. The longevity and sillage for this fragrance is much better than it has been for the brand's other spring or summer releases that I've tried; I'll apply this is the morning, and can still smell it 7/8 hours later. The aura is moderate for most of the wear.

I'm excited because Bombshell London is a beautifully fresh rose-based fragrance, that is extremely similar to Fleur Fatale - a perfume that I really enjoyed scent-wise but found had awful longevity & a poor aura, so I highly recommend checking this out. I think that Bombshell is nice but not "wow", however Bombshell London is another flanker that doesn't strike me as being similar to it, and actually far surpasses it.
