Flowerbomb Bloom

It finally came today all the way from France ! I have only had it on for a couple of hours so will go back and correct or add. It's fresh and sweet to my nose and is related to the original but since the original is all about patchouli and orchid / vanilla and tea , this one is on the other end of the scale ,more fresh and fruity , no patchouli but hints of it are there I assume because of the wood might be from that family ,I smell mint somewhere , the sweet bitterness of pomegranate and the sweet fresh mandarins( looove the mandarines in here ) . It gets more floral in the middle but still has the same fresh fruity vibe , the mountain air aura it creates is the fresh part and is almost a little cold , I have smelled it before in Creed silver mountain , this one being much more feminine and sweet and not as natural as silver mountain. Really not at all alike except for that particular freshness gives it some relation that made me think of it. You definitely can smell that it's a sister of the flowerbomb family , and I find it very pleasant. Thinking of those candies that come in tins , from Europe , the Mandarine ones that have a coating of white powder sugar around them. They also have a slight mint feel to them and give you cold / sweet /fresh breath. They come in different fruit flavoures. This one I am thinking of is the Mandarine one. Do not expect the full bodied sexy vibe the original gives you. This is more like the edt and summer versions as far as staying power and thinness goes

I received this as a sample from a Sephora order and was already familiar with the original and its myriad sisters like juicy couture etc. This white florals, fruit, sweet genre is so prevalent these days that I don't feel like I need to purchase them as it's is so similar and ubiquitous and also I sometimes find some of the white flowers and generic fruit almost verging on allergy inducing. For Bloom, the pomegranate is both sour and astringent and tannic, so instead of lusher more juicy sweeter fruit the first notes are tart and kind of mouth puckering which I found interesting but was not that impressed with. Then I ignored it and two hours later I smelled a gorgeous airy, refined sweet cotton candy note and was quite pleasantly surprised and then somewhat obsessed with. The sweet note is very close to the skin and it smelled like the cold mountain air note kind of moderated the sweet notes to make it kind of less solid and more like sweet air molecules. I was so fascinated by this feature that I bought the largest size as it is exclusive to Sephora in US and also limited edition so per oz it's much cheaper than smaller bottle. I much prefer this to the original which is well made but common due to so many copies so common and not memorable or distinctive. The bottle is so pretty and feels well in my hands and also the pale pink liquid is lovely.

A tester for this perfume arrived today and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I really enjoy this scent. The original Flowerbomb is a little too much for my tastes, so I thought that I would give the Bloom flanker a go in search of something lighter. Bloom is just that: a lighter, fresher, airier version with a lovely sweetness. On my skin the florals really stand out especially with the rose (sweet, almost syruped rose, not fresh-cut), and the fruitiness of the pomegranate and mandarin. As the perfume dries down, the fruitiness still lingers strongly and a very slight woodiness arises, with a slightly more prominent vanilla - at least to my nose. The perfume lasted about 6 hours with a decent sillage from one single spray of my tester bottle (about a quarter of the 1 ml tester.) I asked my boyfriend what he thought of this scent and he said he really liked it, as opposed to a lot of florals that he finds overpowering. Highly recommend this fragrance to anyone who would like a sweeter, fresher, lighter version of Flowerbomb with less patchouli. It feels very young, pretty, and fun to me.

Beautiful fruity floral, resembling the original but much less sweet and with a sparkling quality. There is a tangy aspect that goes away quite fast. You can still smell the original flower bomb lost somewhere in a refreshing breeze of springtime. I personally love it. The silage seems ok in the beginning but it mellows down very fast, the lasting power is average or below that . It is a pricey edt so I expected more strength. The bottle is pretty, like an elongated Flowerbomb. Be warned! The moment I took mine out of the box the little black flower sticking out broke in my hand ! If you like that, be super careful as it is extremely fragile. Overall a lovely scent, it cheers me up now in the winter and I have to say I love it even though I am slightly disappointed with its strength. Pretty, youthful and elegant.

Just received it in my mail :D Cute bottle. 1st impression - The opening is fresh and fruity. Yes I feel the pomegranate and orange. After a few minutes I only smell spicy woods. It doesn't have anything about the original flowerbomb in my opinion. I actually think its quite masculine because the dominant scent is the wood. Not a "wow" for me. But I do like it. It's a simple fragrance, a tiny bit fruity and lots of sharp woods, it's quite elegant, inoffensive. Good for spring and summer, great for daily wear, for work. I believe the longevity is good but the sillage is moderate to poor. Ps: I don't smell any rose. 30min later...the spicy woods are getting softer, I feel some floral notes now, at this point it is much more feminine and gentle. I do really like it, It is "blooming" on me :D

This crystal like gem smells absolutely stunning. i cant wait to get my hands on a bottle! :D . Said to be the airier, fresher, joyful sister of flowerbomb (I completely agree). The bottle of flowerbomb bloom keeps the same glass effect but in a much slender grenade shape which I definitely find sleeker and sexier. With distinctive notes of fresh accords of pomegranate, pure liquid air molecules, musk, and patchouli, this beautiful fragrance caresses its wearer making them feel beautiful all day long. It is not too sweet and not too musky. Flowerbomb bloom is the impeccable blend of floral fresh. It is perfect for during the day to feel confident, and can be used at night as a flirty date night scent.

An underrated little flanker! I find it so pleasant and cute and young. Sweet, but in a light and fresh way, not cloying. I have to admit it has nostalgic value for me personally, since I wore it when I lived abroad at 19, so my nose is biased, but it truly is a nice scent. My sister loves to steal a little spray of this whenever she gets a chance to, too. It doesn't have the best longevity or sillage (it's an edt after all) and can't really be over-sprayed, in my experience. My personal favorite of the flowerbombs. Nowadays I'm more interested in a bit more complex, spicy fragrances, but sometimes I just want something simple, inoffensive and lovely. This is my choice.

This one suites me compared to flowerbomb etc. This is more fresh in a citrusy way, sweet though. I ́ve had plenty of compliments for this one from women and men when i have been out in town. Its magic when you pass by, its a headturner ín that way. I put in my nech close to the hairline, so it flows with my hair and leaves that trace after. Its kinda "dark sweet" intense if put to much so i apply it moderate to light to accieve the wonderful trace i leave behind, that has given me so many compliments. I ́ve worned this several years. Its a good everyday perfume, but also fits summer nights :)

They’ve done it again and stolen my heart with a flowerbomb flanker. I just can’t get enough of them! That mountain air with the wood base just creates the best canvas for this sweet and tart floral beauty to shine! The damask rose helps mellow out the white floral and vice versa. The sweet and tart are perfectly matched in this effervescent edt. Great projection and endurance for an edt. That doesn’t surprise me coming from V&R- their men’s edts are fantastic. Love this flanker and I get the call back to the OG. I adore all flowerbomb flankers I’ve tried and this is no exception.

Add an “airy” note to Flowerbomb and make it much, much lighter and you get this one. Before I saw the notes, I thought the “liquid air” was cucumber but “airy notes” sounds way fancier so I’ll stick to that description instead. I love Flowerbomb, and this new version too - this is perfect for spring/summer. It’s long-lasting but with soft/moderate projection - if you want a heavy hitter go with the original - this is made to be purposefully light and I personally find it beautiful as it is.

Like its name, this one is a floral bomb with prominent fruity accords. The tangy, citrusy effect of fruits disappears fast and more flowers overpower it, to me, it's an amazing sweet scent. But unfortunately, the silage and longevity are not the best, they are moderate but I still like this perfume, it smells beautiful and clean so I put everything aside and in general it's a youthful and elegant perfume :)

My first adult perfume, an absolute love. This is beautiful in the summer through fall, and it really deepens up in the warmth. An almost sickeningly sweet floral, candy-like mixture of scents that I loved. It sticks onto your clothes like no other!

This is ant other scent I got a sample of from Sephora, I wore it yesterday and loved it! The scent did not seem to last long though, either that or I just got used to it? Maybe on I will get to use for a night out instead of all day at work :)

This is beautiful. Reminds me of the original Flowerbomb but lighter/airier. A more everyday wear version of the original. Love this for Spring and Summer. Longevity for me is moderate.

wow icant Believe the negative Reviews, i love it!!! smells dark and sexy !

Flowerbomb Bloom is one of the scents that "you've smelled it somewhere", smells so familiar, but I cannot remember the perfume that it's reminiscent. Imagine Bloom as a sweeeter J'adore, J'adore with caramel if that's possible. Or maybe a sweeter Miracle. Liquid air? I don't think it's a really airy perfume, to my nose it smells quite "condensed"; this is not ozonic in the traditional way, and it doesn't give off any "chemical" scent. As a whole, Bloom flanker is a caramelic fruity perfume, less sweet and not as deep as the original. General sweet notes here and there. Lemon caramels. Did I smell peony? Floral notes do make an appearance but the scent remains mostly fruity. Very balanced and sheer. Youthful, optimistic, sunny, appropriate for spring and summer. Sillage is very nice for the first hour. Sprayed at 18:30 and at 21:00 the scent had mellowed out already. By 22:00 I couldn't smell any traces of the perfume at all. Not bad, but I don't need it

In this winter weather the mandarin is really strong and zingy. I really really like it, I think I like it even more now than in any other weather. At first it smelled like strong lemon but after I looked at the notes and saw mandarin then I noticed it’s the mandarin and pomegranate making the strong scent— it’s actually kind of Christmas like- those notes are more muted in warmer weather. It’s like a whole different fragrance now, and it’s macerated a bit since when I first bought it and tried it a year ago. Oddly, it seems fragrances also change with the years... unless it’s just my chemistry and the magic of macerating?

Sour/sweet. More sour than sweet and later turns fresh and sweet. Tangerine peel and freesia in the beginning dry down to softer tea-alike rose---pomegranate scent with a hint of sweetness. It becomes sweeter and more floral and fresh toward the end. I don't smell jasmine and wood. It is indeed fresh spring scent which might be from the mountain air note. This gives cleanness after tangerine and pomegranate get weaker. Soft silage and lasted around 7 hours on me. This is a light sweet and sour spring scent. Imagine fresh spring morning and city rush. Energizing.

As the weather has warmed up, this fragrance has blossomed. The dry down with my chemistry is heavenly! It's a warm cloud of sweetness. I think I'm in love! At first I hated it and I could've sworn I was smelling gross patchouli when I first tried it, but now there's no trace of it and I like this far more than the original. The mountain air thing is not my cup of tea and it kind of ruins it but it is all about the dry down and the dry down is where it's at with this one.

Very feminine, this perfume is for the floral lovers. It is an "eau de toilette", so the sillage and the longevity are moderate. It is a real flanker of Flowerbomb, the DNA is here but more for spring, summer and fall with less patchouli. Fresh, soft and floral, it is safe for office. I prefer Flowerbomb bloom (more fresh and fruity) versus the original Flowerbomb (too much patchouli, bold for winter) 7/10

I was walking with my dogs in the forest after the rain. It was 10 degree celcius. This perfume blended well with the smell of the forest and it added such a positiv vibe to the walk with its flowery fragrance. It is exactly like this: forest/woody smell with the just blooming flowers in early Spring. For me/ on me it does not in any other different seasons.

Very airy, fruity and flowery, smells natural, fresh but for a lady not as girly as most of fruity scents .. I am usually into sweet perfumes, this one is not that sweet but actually I like it.. Very light scent that makes life prettier. Also, I can smell pink pepper in the dry down which is not mentioned in the composition, do you get it too??

This is a beautiful scent, perfect for spring. It keeps the original Flowerbomb DNA, but with a fresher, airy twist to it. It has a pleasant musky & woodsy dry-down and lasts about 6 to 7 hours on my skin. Sadly it also has some sweet synthetic undertones that turn me off a bit and make it a like, as opposed to a love. 7/10

Ive had the original Flowebomb and the patchouli in that scent was screeching for me, I dont know how else to describe it. This has a more refined patch, softer, rounder scent. The Flowerbomb DNA is unmistakable in this one, but I like this better than the original one. Staying power is okey, silage is okey. 4/5

I like it. Ideal aroma for spring. I took it last summer and somehow I do not like it in the hot days, but it was wonderful in the cooler summer days. certainly has many original features in it, but in a softened version, almost like eau de toilet. I can not wait for the spring to come and enjoy it.

found this to be an okay scent for me, not too groundbreaking but good enough to use as a daily scent. i get a very soft comforting drydown, almost linen-type. opening was a nice floral bloom. however i will be fine with sticking to a travel size or a sample for this.

This if very strong chemical fresh. I get sweet tea notes after that. Its not a crowd pleaser and I can't handle more than a squirt. Really, I was intrigued by its unique note but I can't stand it actually. Its yuck. But don't take my word for it

The Flowerbomb scent but with WATERMELON instead of patchouli. Smells most of watermelon from first to drydown. I like it but a sample wiill be enough.

This was just discontinued in Canada, don’t know if it’s going to be across the board or just for this market.

It smells like early 2000's, like Very irresistible by Givenchy. Very lovely!

This reminds me though of one I really like tho called deep euphoria

I'm so excited for this! :D I love pomegranate

I blind bought this a few months ago, and I haven't gotten around to writing about it... honestly, probably because I rarely ever reach for this... I definitely get the watermelon note in the opening others talk about, and I can also smell some nondescript florals as well as almost a "tea" like note. It's nice. And while "nice" is never a bad thing, its just simply that. Nice. Nothing groundbreaking, nothing really worth a second glance... quite basic, and honestly, pretty forgettable. I wore it to work one day and one of my coworkers told me I smell like bubble bath... if that gives you any hint as to what kind of scent this is. I also used to have flowerbomb midnight, but ended up passing it along to my mother. Now I have flowerbomb bloom, and considering finding this one a new home as well. I just don't see myself ever really wearing this. I love soft scents, and inoffensive florals, but this just doesn't do it for me. The bottle, however, is absolutely beautiful. I ended up giving her away to a coworker. Just not for me.

This is the original Flowerbomb without the patchouli. Consequently, it comes off less heavy than the original. Agree with another reviewer who said this is for floral lovers. I am a floral "liker", not a lover, so I don't love Flowerbomb Bloom. Fans of the original Flowerbomb will love Bloom. p.s. I adore Flowerbomb Dew!!! Sooo good, it kept just the right parts of Flowerbomb that I actually like, plus adds freshness.

This smells very similar to Ralph by Ralph Lauren. The original one in the clear bottle with the bright blue cap and label. One of my highschool favorites. But I would rather just buy more ralph because I’m here for the Flowerbomb and this doesn’t have it

opening much better than the original bc the watermelon/fruity scent is more fun than flowerbomb. but i don't really like the woody drydown. while it's better than flowerbomb, it still has the core DNA that i don't like.

I received my very expensive sample of this, and I am truly glad I did not blind buy. If you love Flowerbomb the original, AND if you also love sweet or fruity fragrances, sadly this is NOT the perfume for you. I would strongly suggest you sample prior to purchasing. If you like Bonbon too, once again, I would say you will not like this fragrance. This is not just a weak version of Flowerbomb, this is a completely different formulation and in my opinion it is the most horrible smell I have ever smelled in my life. The only thing that will sell this is the hype of the Viktor and Rolf name, and the excellent reputation of the original Flowerbomb. The mountain air smell is the most dominant out of all the scents, and this element combined with the woody basenotes is the most prominent scent you will find in this fragrance. The pomegranate does exist in an oddly heavy way somehow, but in combination with the other two notes mentioned, it takes on a plastic, artificial feel which smells like a PVC factory or a medicine/chewable vitamin. I like to give everything a chance, and I literally gagged when I smelled this both directly from the vial and on my skin. My fiancé made a sour face when I asked him to smell it, and he literally likes everything else in a wide spectrum which I wear, from the original Flowerbomb, to Ange ou Demon Le Secret Givenchy, to Chanel Chance Eau Vive, to Viva La Juicy. For the hefty price tag, I strongly urge you to try before you buy. Maybe it's right for others, but this is definitely a sore disappointment from Viktor & Rolf.

When I heard that Viktor & Rolf were going to discontinue the EDT version of Flowerbomb in order to make room on the shelves for this one, I was bummed, but went to try it nevertheless, knowing from the notes that it would not resemble the discontinued edition. I'm open to new fragrances and aware that different doesn't necessarily mean bad. Not at all. But what I didn't expect was to hate this one so much! Because on me "Bloom" smells of chlorine. Yes, full-powered chlorine! I couldn't wait to get home and scrub it off my skin, horrified that they killed Fb EDT, which is so well done, to make room for this vile concoction! I had higher expectations from this perfume house, which is known for its good-quality fragrances and especially for the ridiculously high prices it charges for them. As daniellemirete rightfully pointed out, "Bloom" is not for fans of sweet perfumes. Beware!

Airy, fresh and joyful? I think it smells rather heavy and woody. I can't detect any fresh notes in it. It smells off to me, like it's gone bad. But it's such a new fragrance. Or more like a man's cologne. Maybe they mixed up the bottles or something. I don't see how this is supposed to be "bloom". It's not sweet as the original and I agree with other reviews, that if you liked the original, you probably won't like this one. They are not similar. I don't enjoy it, too woody and masculine.

this has the sweet flowerbomb dna. It smells juvenile to me. Like a fragrance for an under 20 yr old. I do think if flowerbomb is too heavy then this might be an option. to me it is very sweet. for me this is a sweet, woody, floral. I do not get rose. I think more of a youthful going to an amusement park vibe. Not really my taste but okay.

Strange woody floral scent, quite sweet too, even if no sweet notes are listed. I cannot smell any mountain air or anything fresh in it.

I blind bought this fragrance and I regret it. This perfume smells like sour candies on my skin. Not a safe gift in my opinion.

I like the original Flowerbomb well enough but the woody note in this one just doesn't work with me.

It smells a bit similar to Angel Sucree but sharper, screechier and without depth.

The sour pomegranate is quite strong in the opening. It's a note you either like or hate. The floral notes come trough as the perfume dries down. I like how the rose settles. The wood note is very fitting. The perfume itself is nice but it changes on my skin. The notes blend into a sickly, perfumy mix when I use it. That's too bad!

I was looking forward to test flowerbomb bloom as I loved to have a flowerbomb for summer days but now that I've tested it,I'm not sure I'm going to buy it.not that it's a bad perfume.actually I encourage everyone to try it.wether you're a flowerbomb fan or not.I could see tiny bit of flowerbomb DNA here but not that they're so much alike that you won't need to own both of them,also you may love this one while hating the original My test wasn't meticulously done so I can't talk about it's notes;I can just say that FB bloom is sweet but not as intensely sweet as FB.I didn't find it a very fresh and airy scent but it definitely was comparing to it's sister.I felt that it's a blend of flowers and fruits but with more depth compared to floralfruitys.there was definitely woody notes in it but not too strong or masculine to put me off.when I asked my man to sniff my wrist and explain what he thinks he said:"it's beautiful and not similar to any other perfume you tested recently,there's something spicy and something green-ish and fresh in it" I think I like it's dry down better which has a bit more similarly to FB Testing it made me miss Flowerbomb's sugary tea which I love and I went to find my bottle of flowerbomb which I had forgotten how much I enjoy Longevity of bloom version is great.just one spray and I can faintly smell it after ten hours.it wasn't a love at first sniff,also not a dislike it.I believe I have to do a better test and then decide on how I feel about it

I blind bought this and I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I was worried I had made a mistake as I am interested in getting the original Flowerbomb but wanted something a bit less generic/popular but had never smelt this. I was pleasantly surprised when I sprayed Bloom and discovered to my nose it smells similar to one of my all time favourite discontinued perfumes - Gucci II. It isn't as fruity but more flowery, but on my skin it smells remarkably similar. This is amazing as I have been so sad Gucci II was discontinued but now I feel I can still smell like it! I wonder if anyone else has discovered this resemblance? Edit 14/09/2020: I sold this shortly after leaving my glowing review. This does not last longer than 5 minutes on my skin and there is only maybe one note in it that reminds me of Gucci II, it was not quite the dupe I initially thought it might be. Very over-priced for the quality, just like the others from this line.

just got this in the mail today & another viktor & rolf winner !!! i cant believe i didnt order this sooner lol.........anyway it fits in with the original flowerbomb but lighter & zestier if that makes sense lol...........maybe its the pomegranate.......but its a nice spring summer scent....its not heavy/deep like flowerbomb or nectar (which i love both BTW especially nectar - super yummy) also longevity is not as strong as flowerbomb or nectar but it still lasted a few hours on me overall love it.......viktor & rolf keep on adding to the collection - love it !!!! also not quite sure what the whole liquid air is lol......is that really an ingredient V & R hmmmm maybe a little leg pulling there lol either way sounds cool so why not :) and if anyone says they smell liquid air i think i will crack up cuz im not sure if liquid air really has a scent lol maybe it adds to the zestiness :)

I tried this scent a couple of days ago and the horrible memories are still etched into my brain. I was a huge fan of the original Flowerbomb a few years ago, but now I think it's probably a bit strong so when I saw there was a lighter version I was keen to try. I sprayed it on the card and it did smell like a fresher version of Flowerbomb so I sprayed it onto my skin. This scent doesn't go with my skin chemistry at all, some perfumes leave a slight millipede smell after about an hour. This version of Flowerbomb left a really strong millipede note and I couldn't wait to wash it off. I'll just stick to the original next time I feel like wearing Flowerbomb.

Definitely has got the flower bomb DNA, maybe a little milder in a better looking bottle (as I prefer long bottles). Also, is as strong as all other versions, but I can't detect the notes listed here. I realize it's a floral fruity gourmand which can be stickily sweet. Freesia, orange and woods are there, but pomegranate? maybe kind of syrupy juice, but nothing that I can detect as pomegranate. I think I like it and to my nose it's a very strong perfume that can never be ignored, but I'm afraid that it might get on my nerve if I apply too much or on a regular basis.
