Bonbon Spring Summer

Sweet, warm and pretty. Overall, I really like it but it's not a complete love. And honestly? I'm a little disappointed. For a bottle of perfume that cost nearly £60, I wanted "wow!" and I didn't get that. Starts off with bright citrus fruits and not much else. Like a cocktail with added fruit syrup. Maybe some light sugar dusting around the rim of the glass. BonBon Spring Summer definitely reminds me of a fruity Escada fragrance. Likeable, light and easy to wear but nothing groundbreaking. I don't get any dreamy caramel, which is one of the main reasons why I chose this this version of BonBon. Boyfriend said I smelled "nice." and that I smelled exactly the same as the perfume I was wearing earlier... (I was wearing Beyonce's Heat Rush!) He gave it a 7/10, and I hate to admit it, but I agree with him. There's nothing to dislike with Bonbon Spring Summer, but there's nothing that made me go "oooh, I need this in my life forever and always!" which is what I wanted for such a hefty price tag. He also said I reminded him of older relatives who wore something similar. (I'm 26.) And I think he's right. I think this might be a wonderful Summer scent for someone more mature than me. Overall, I like it, but I'll be selling it with a heavy heart. The bottle and presentation are absolutely stunning, but to be honest, I have better Summer fragrances that I love and enjoy more than this cute little bottle. Sigh, my search for the perfect Victor&Rolf perfume continues...

Truly nice, light caramel scent, soft sweet, also including prominent citrus note. Despite the name 'spring summer', it's suitable for almost all seasons and weather conditions. I think it would be the best for transitional periods like fall or spring. Gentle and alluring. What is more, bottle is true beauty! Update: I really like it, but caramel and peach notes are always the tricky ones to my nose, especially if they are blended together. It is like a caramel candy melted in fruits.

A flanker of the Bonbon line I really enjoy from start to finish. It has just enough sweetness from the sugar and caramel without going overboard, just enough citrus from the orange and grapefruit without giving that typical blast and a coziness that envelopes you in a blissful cloud. A scent for all seasons. The original Bonbon dna but toned down and fresher, perfect for non super sweet lovers, like me. Longevity not the best though.

A well balanced fruity sweet scent. Staying power is exceptional, so is the silage.

I have been looking online for this fragrance since I saw news about it coming out, with no luck. If you live in Canada, I saw this at Shoppers drugmart in Calgary Chinook Mall. I was completely shocked to have found it there. Original Bonbon is one of my all time favourite fragrances, even the Couture I like. This version i find is nothing like the other bonbons, it is extremely fruity, almost like tropical fruity. Lots of grapefruit in the beginning and then some black currant. I found it was kind of sharp and it did not have much base to it, like it was missing something. Even for a summer version, this does not seem fresh to me or well blended. The other bonbons are sweet and smooth and candy like, this version I have been so excited for but I am extremely disappointed. Pass for me.
