Bonbon Couture

The better Bonbon! Yes, it‘s similar to the original, but it‘s much warmer, more gourmand and oriental. While I found Bonbon EDP mainly fruity with caramel accents, Couture is caramel with fruity accents. I can still clearly smell the peach and orange, but the main note is a wonderfully creamy caramel. The patchouli and white tobacco aren‘t that strong in my opinion, this is not a patch-gourmand a la Angel. But these notes bring a very subtle depth and darkness to the otherwise bright and girly scent, not much, just enough to make it sparkle a little. The vanilla is a lovely base for the other notes, it‘s noticeable without taking the center stage. No, this is definitely not the most innovative scent on the planet, BUT not everything has to be and this does its thing really well. It‘s more intense than the EDP, but not loud overwhelming. Everything is blended so smoothly, there is nothing screechy in this, no sharp artificial smelling vanilla or scratchy florals, just comforting warmth and juicy fruits. It‘s not a literal foody scent though, it does smell like a perfume. For some reason it reminds me a little of my B&BW Snowflakes & Cashmere lotion, like a more refined version of the same concept. They would layer well. If I didn‘t already have several caramel scents of different kinds, I would get a bottle. If you still need a pretty fruity caramel, I recommend Bonbon Couture. PS: At the moment it has 5 votes as similar to Jimmy Choo Fever. In my opinion they‘re not similar at all and this is so much better.

I would venture to say, it is "darker" than the original. I feel that this darkness comes from the note of white tobacco, a note that also gives this fragrance, depth, intensity and a sensual, addictive character. A note, which I can smell all the time, from the opening to the drydown. It is a scent that makes you stand out - Without shouting it. It is another safe & sweet perfume, definitely a gourmand, but it's not foody or as girly, dizzying and syrupy as the original. Ιt is flowery and smoky. Certainly in colder weather its notes unfold better, but I think it's ideal for all seasons and all hours, except summer. (it's neither light nor fresh) All the ingredients are perfectly blended, so much so that I feel like I've wrapped my wrists with a luxurious, smooth fabric, such as cashmere, or silk. White flowers, dipped in creamy rich caramel, with a few drops of playful peach and ripe orange, with sandalwood crumbs... and this whole girly image is "soiled" by white tobacco and patchouli-and that's what makes it sophisticated and not immature. Εasy to wear and mysterious at the same time.The one who wears it, looks happy and extroverted, but hides a multifaceted personality, that this fragrance invites you to discover. The words about the bottle are unnecessary: Enchanting. And these pastel/matte areas that it has, which the original does not have, show this *extra quality* that the couture offers. Star sign: Taurus.

Found BonBon Couture @Saks during my trip to NYC. Of course I grabbed me a bottle, which is just gorgeous. I've only sprayed it once, and it's definitely creamier/a bit more of a vanilla/cream and caramel combo this time around. I'm going to compare the 2 side-by-side at one point. It's definitely smoother/blended better, if that's the word/saying. It's not so in-your-face like the super syrupy sweetness of the original. There's definitely a spice/more warm or something to this one as well. That said, I'm not about to say it's groundbreaking or anything. Is it more sophisticated? A bit I guess. It's just not as syrupy/candied as the original. In the end, it's just another sweetie. I have to test it more, but being a gourmand and V&R fan, I just had to have it. 2nd Test: Simply put, it's spicy warm caramel on top, and dries down to a spicy, warm, and woody vanilla/cream and caramel combo for the rest/majority of its duration. It's a simple little thing, like the original. I think it's delicious, which is all that matters right? Haha! Here's to more BonBons I say! PS: I'd love a new Flowerbomb as well, and not just another summer flanker. Let's make that happen V&R! Yes? Haha!

I have tested it in perfume store. This perfume I prefer it on the "original Bonbon" it have more vanilla gourmand delicious sweety in mature way with a little amount not annoyning me of Patchouli instead of Amber. In General, Amber is an ingrediant I prefer existness of it in perfumes, but the "original Bonbon" have more intensive citrusy note spoil the beauty of it, here the citrusy is exist lighter. This fragrance suitable to wear it at night or during the day, in winter or Autumn seasons. It lasts along time. I love to own this perfume in the near future. لقد جربته في محل عطور، هذا العطر أفضله على "بونبون الأصلي" فهو يحتوي على المزيد من الفانيليا اللذيذة الشهية الحلوة بطريقة ناضجة مع كمية قليلة لا تزعجني من الباتشولي بدلاً من العنبر. بشكل عام، العنبر هو أحد المكونات التي أفضل وجودها في العطور، لكن "بونبون الأصلي" يحتوي على نوتة حمضية أكثر كثافة تفسد جماله، هنا تكون النوتة الحمضية أخف. هذا العطر مناسب لارتدائه ليلاً أو نهارًا، في فصل الشتاء أو الخريف. يدوم طويلاً. أحب امتلاك هذا العطر في المستقبل القريب.

I find the original to be too cloying/syrupy sweet and I definitely find this version to be superior. The creamy white florals balance out the caramel and make it just an all-around gorgeous, warm scent. The white tobacco note is interesting/unique and lends itself well to the overall fragrance. Definitely in my top three favorite caramel perfumes! VLJ Gold is another one of my favs but that one is more sexy/playful (berries, white florals, caramel) compared to this one (white tobacco, white florals, caramel). Bonbon Couture is the perfect signature scent if you love caramel because it’s gorgeous and appropriate in any kind of setting. It’s not too loud/overwhelming and it doesn’t smell like something you’d only wear on a night out clubbing. It’s somewhat of a skin scent, if anything, so it would be better for more intimate date nights anyway. ALSO. The dry down is heaven. Wait thirty minutes and you’ll see. I love it.

It is THEE MAC-DADDY WERTHERS CARAMEL gourmand. Plus MAJOR SEX APPEAL. Let's break it down.. Peach lends itself not to a fruity note, but to a lactonic one-- at least on me. The neroli is soft, and the mandarin orange subdued but adds a pretty sweetness. Orange blossom is one of my favorite florals, a bit animalic, and the Jasmine sambac is not overpowering as sometimes jasmines can be. The caramel is a luscious dream of werthers original, but deeper, and the vanilla is expected. The sandalwood is a happy addition and adds more depth and more lactonic nuance. The white tobacco flower is so incredibly alluring and surprising, along with the patchouli. I will always have this in my collection. It is not only my favorite, but my husbands, on me, as well. I would say that it is a very dense scent, that lasts a long time, and projects well. A beast mode gourmand. Highly recommend.

Being a huge gourmand lover and being on a huge caramel, vanilla, dulce de leche, Tonka, praline (etc) binge right now I have to say I love this. Tried both edp and couture at Ulta and went straight o the most caramel-y, warmer, sweeter one. There’s not much to be said, seems like a lot of pp seem to find it generic, boring, synthetic, etc, but to me this is an uncomplicated fragrance that has the warmth and sweetness of caramel that’s just delicious. My skin projects beautiful whiffs of caramel and vanilla as I move around and that, I must say. is exactly what I wanted from this fragrance!! I don’t know what the dry down will be like or how long this will last, will update once I have an opinion on that but so far I love this yummy caramel smell and it makes me happy and comforted!

Hands down the best perfume I have ever smelled. I hate flowerbomb and the original bonbon was way too sweet and cloying. This scent is very sweet but has that hit of freshness that stops it from smelling too sickly. I am a Tom Ford, Chanel wearing girl. So for me to have this as a favourite is a bold statement. It's amazing. Perfection. I have over 40 perfumes and this has blown them all out of the water. This winter (2016/2016) I have been alternating between bonbon couture.. tom ford pour femme.. Prada candy (LOVE IT) and Donna by Valentino. But if I could afford to wear this every single day and keep repleneshing my supply I so would. Safe to say I'm in love. If you like Prada Candy type scents you will LOVE this perfume. 10/10.

I am in love with this fragrance, I love Viktor and Rolfs Flowerbomb anyway, but I'm not that keen on the original Bonbon, its too acidic/sharp and not sweet enough for me. This one is just delicious, at first spray there is a fresh burst of orange blossom, mandarin and peach with just a hint of white flowers, this lasts for about 15-30 mins on my skin. Then after about 40 mins or so, it changes to a beautiful warm, sweet and creamy caramel and vanilla scent with only the slightest hint of patchouli. This addictive warm sweet scent lingers on my skin for about 4-5hrs but a lot longer on clothing 24hrs+! Bonbon couture is another hit for me and the bottle is just adorable!!

This is by far the better Bon Bon; more complex, spicier, darker and more grown-up. I'm a BIG fan of gourmands and a collector of scents (I own about 38 perfumes, everything from vintage Angel to Chanel Mademoiselle), and I've just discovered this little beauty, after saying "thanks, but no thanks" to the edp Bon Bon. My skin amplifies the almond, neroli, vanilla and patchuli combo and projects it like no other! So, if you like Prada Candy, Angel edt (2019), Hypnotic Poison, Girl of Now, D & G The Only One and Poison Girl, you will LOVE this scent. It's intoxicating for me and for many people within a 6 feet radius of me :)

Goodness, this is sexy. I’ve owned the OG for a while now, I’m a lover of sweet scents/gourmands. As much as I like the original Bonbon, it always kinda felt like something was missing. I never got much depth from it, and the longevity is kinda trash. But this blend here... is everything I ever wanted. I still get the sweet yummy caramel loveliness, and I also get a nice helping of patchouli and tobacco in the base notes?! 🤯 It’s like this was made for me. I bought a travel spray to try it out, and I’m definitely gonna need to hunt down a full bottle when I can afford it.

I live in the northenmost Europe, and during this time of year it's cold, cold, cold and dark, dark, dark all around me. It's also the end of the Holiday Season, which always gives me a bit of the blues... So a big Thank You for this beautiful scent! It's delicious and comforting (because of the caramel and vanilla notes) but also uplifting, almost cheery, because of the mandarin/neroli/peach combo. The pathouli (usually a difficult note for me) behaves and doesn't steal the show. A wonderful fragrance to face the winter working days.

my first perfume I ever bought and still my favorite too this day. so sultry, sexy, and cozy. A perfect mix of sweet and mature. I honestly could’ve not told you a single note in this fragrance, I just feel like everything blends together so smoothly and perfectly. anyways, anyone who talks bad about this perfume I am praying for ur downfall >:(

So I've been wearing this fragrance here and there for the past 3 weeks and this is my conclusion: The opening is HORRIBLE and extremely sharp. But 10 minutes later all i smell is gooey peachy caramel heaven. In facht, the drydown is so delicious that i just deal with the horrendous opening over and over again.

I am in love with this one. This scent was just made for cold weather, I can only describe it as deliciously cozy. It garners compliments whenever I wear it. It warms up fast and dries down to what I imagine a candied Granny Smith apple hot toddy might smell like. It's sooo good!

This is my favourite perfume!If you want a dupe,I would recommend Fantasy,I think it smells a lot like it.It’s a nice,powdery caramel scent. Edit: I’m surprised that so many people don’t like the patchouli scent,I think it suits this perfume!

Much better than the original version of Bonbon which I never liked that much. This is creamy, rich and warm. The patchouli and caramel is most prominent to me and it is sweet but not to sweet. The longevity is very good.

Haven’t smelled the OG Bonbon, but I love this. Definitely too heavy for summer, but in milder weather this is beautiful. A part of me finds this to be a generic permume-y scent, but regardless I still really enjoy this.

I love this perfume, better than the Original BonBon, I got it on sale from Hudson Bay with 30% sale. I love how my skin reacts to it.

My favorite Bon Bon is definitely Couture. Caramel taffy with a nice brightness that prevents this from being cloying on me while still not being fruit forward. It is through and through caramel. Yes patchouli is a tricky note depending, but that and the white tobacco were very much needed to make the caramel note last. I love the addition and it’s not muggy. It helps when you don’t wear this very warm weather. The vanilla ensures the sweetness lasts too and the creamy sandalwood blends all the notes while creating a Dulce de Leche effect. Without this base, BB Couture would’ve turned into a skin “baby wipe” powdery musk that caramel easily does like in Prada Candy. I remember trying this last year at Ulta and it was gorgeous on both my skin and the tester strip, which was very fragrant on my table for the week every time I walked by. On my skin, it lasts just as long although it doesn’t project 6+ hours later. I’m not sure if it’s discontinued now because it’s not in stores but I do see it on fragrancenet. Either way, my travel is enough and fulfills what I was missing: a sweet, non-popcorn, unburnt, dominant caramel fragrance.
