Flowerbomb Extreme 2013

Since this is up on Sephora for the moment...I thought I'd get my review up before it sells out again. So I'll start with the fact that I put this on 24 hours ago and it's still going...which is impressive. On me this is definitely a skin scent and clothing does not do it justice...if you want the full experience. When it comes to notes, I love how this fragrance evolves...on me it starts out with a rich vanilla-ey fruity-floral that jumps straight to the middle. In the beginning I get a sweet fruity note (I'd say is the osmanthus), the vanilla comes in with a bang, so does the orchid. I only get a touch of jasmine and patchouli...just enough to play but not enough to take over. As this fragrance progresses, the vanilla sticks around for a long while and so does the orchid but the fruiti-ness starts to die down. Here is where the amber and benzoin come in and become the key players for the final round. Meanwhile...the vanilla and orchid take a back seat and the jasmine/patchouli essentially bow out. This is a beautifully and well blended fruity-floral fragrance that's anchored by vanilla, amber and benzoin- giving a warm and cozy feeling...just like your favorite sweater. P.S. I agree with the review below...it is expensive yes but it's impeccably blended and gives a bang for your buck. I sprayed one spritz on each wrist (enough for a moderate sillage) and it's STILL GOING 24 hours later...very happy with this purchase!

I absolutely adore Flowerbomb extreme! it smells amazing, from beginning to end it is perfection, to me its got a kind of berry smell, vanilla, sweet, but not too sweet(i find Black Opium reminds me of a much sweeter more basic and weaker version of FB Extreme) and there's also some warm rich elements in there also which I can't name. Subtle patchouli which I love(I often wear straight up patchouli and think its a very sexy, in your face, scent), and my mother always comments that I am wearing bergamot but I am not familiar with that scent, but it appears she is right after reading the notes on this page. I I instantly fell in love with it, I sprayed 3 different V+R fragrances onto identical cards one day, and one of them I could not stop sniffing, and it took me probably over a month to find out that it was the EXTREME variety I was looking for, as many stores in my city only seemed to carry the original flowerbomb and the bow shaped fragrance of which I can't think of the name. I'm going into every store and saying 'No, I know its not flower bomb, it was different and way better'. Thankfully I eventually found it again, and the 30ml bottle lasted me well over a year with me wearing it about twice a week. Will definitely n get the big bottle when I purchase again which I need to do right now. Extreme makes me feel so sexy, and its like a love potion to my husband... he thinks its as delicious as I do.

Much smoother fragrance than the original, lacks a bit of the bite of the original so if you like that real patchouli nose tingling smell, you might prefer that one. This one is much more gourmand and creamy, I smell a lot less of the floral notes here. I kind of imagine that if Prada ever made a 'Prada Candy Night' this is what it might smell like (probably the benzoin note.) I know other reviewers feel it packs more of a punch, but for me the creamy-ness makes it more cozy, and on my skin it is much less spicy. I think it differs from La Vie Est Belle in that the patchouli is much more clean than the almost dirty patchouli in the latter, and lacks the fruity notes. I really like it, but I need to wear it for a bit longer to see how I really feel. I loved La vie est belle so much I grew tired of it, so perhaps this one might be better for me. However with the similarities I'm not sure if I would pick this over Jimmy Choo. Will have to keep wearing it and see!

I've been using Flowerbomb for a while now but started getting tired of it a little. I got La Vie en Rose for a change, and, to tell you the truth, liked it even more than original. But it had no staying power and I've used it all within days. I decided to try the Extreme version because I've read some good reviews about it. What can I say, I love it! It's very similar to the original, but there is something in base notes that makes me wanna keep smelling it over and over again! I had a perfume with similar notes at some point and I've been looking for something similar for a while now. I don't remember the name or notes, but I remember the smell. And one of those base notes is the same! I don't know if it's Amber, or a combination of a couple of them. But I love it! Great perfume. Perfect for Flowerbomb lovers!

I do love this. As others have already pointed out, it is Flowerbomb plus vanilla. It's better in terms of blending and I think it is more mature and more respectable, if that makes sense! It would work for more women who were turned off by the spun sugar aspect of the original. I can't help but want to try the golden bottle version for comparison though....never happy, are we??? ;) But I am glad I have this and will likely wear it during cooler months instead of the original. Neither have lasted more than four hours on my skin so no improvements in that department and over spraying is NOT the solution! Learned that the hard way. Keeping a smaller purse spray for reapplication is the only way to keep this fresh on a long day. But, it's worth it. I'm happy with it!

Extreme smells almost the same as the orig EDP but it wears closer to the skin , its a touch creamier and a little more sweet yet. It actually has vanilla were as the other one just smells of vanilla. Together the benzoin and vanilla make this a little thicker and more cloying. I like both. I slighlty prefer this one but on a different day at a different time I may like the original just as much ! Both are a vanilla cotton candy smell for all the gourmand lovers out there. It wears nice and pretty and sure gets compliments. Its a tamer Angel , a softer coco Mademoiselle , its a little girls dream and a woman's best friend. Its flowerbomb !

I got this when it was on sale and I absolutely adore it ! It has everything I love in the original minus the harsh tea. It's creamier and more pleasant to the nose when smelled up close. But don't go expecting a very different scent, it's actually pretty similar to EDP, just a bit rounder due to the vanilla. If I smelled it on a stranger, I would assume it was the original. All in all, I'm very happy with this one. Victor&Rolf have never dissapointed me with their fragrances, even the new one, Bonbon smells very nice. Longevity: Pretty good, last a lot on clothes. Sillage: I'd say moderate to heavy if sprayed more than twice.

I bought this, and I absolutely love it. Unfortunately, I cannot compare it to the previous extreme because I've never smelled that version. I don't know if it's the same or different, but I do know that I love this one. Original flowerbomb sometimes goes harsh on me with the patchouli. This is a similar scent, but better blended and smoother. It's creamier, and more delicious. Longevity and sillage is about the same as the original on me. I now own both original and extreme, and this version is a great buy for me.

I really love this. It's not a Flowerbomb, but a floral gourmand. Somewhere, something in it reminds me of Jimmy Choo. The patchouli is beautifully blended in and it keeps the perfume from getting sickly sweet. If I imagined a woman wearing this, she'd be spontaneous, friendly and generous and wouldn't mind wearing this both on a morning as on an evening, both in spring and fall. This is not a pretentious smell, but it's definitely not anonymous. Very powerful, yet honest frag.

I used to have this, gave it away to someone until recently finding myself wanting another bottle. I found one for sale from a Fragrantica member for a great price. Just received it today, I am in heaven again. Did I really need another perfume? Not really! I cannot stop myself from buying. What can I say smelling good is part of my life. Edit: mo longer part of my collection. I found a good home for this.

Wow, this is gorgeous. Like Flowerbomb but better- smoother, better blended, creamier and a little stronger. I do think the sillage is a little closer to skin than the original, but it's not a skin scent- more more just moderate projection. There is definitely a nice amount of vanilla in this. Longevity is great.. I'm really impressed, hit the "love" button like so many others have done :)

Why oh why oh why do companies go about discontinuing gems like this. Flowerbomb is my signature (Yes I am that basic bitch) but this was simply divine! Someone at work bought it for my birthday. I didn't get a chance to repurchase it. I miss it so much. The sillage and projection were exceptionally good. Three sprays and it would last me on a 8 hour shift and 3 hour commute. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

This is really lovely. Vanilla is the star of the show here, but a sophisticated, cosy and comforting vanilla, not a strident or sickly one. Performance wise, Extreme is a bit of a misnomer. This won't knock anybody out, but it will envelope you in an intimate, close to the skin cloud for a decent amount of time. Addictive.

I have the original Flowerbomb. It's delicious. This Extreme version is serious! Takes no prisoners. . Hits all the bells and whistles. You want sexy, its got it. Attitude? Yep its got that too!..Great for the evening into early morning;) Beware: IT'S ADDICTIVE and EXPENSIVE 《but worth it》 HAPPY NEW YEAR FRAGRANTICANS!!!

Love this one! Smells amazing. The rep told me this was a 20% concentrate, which is comparable to a pure parfum. It's definitely stronger than the original. I think it smells a little smoother and more well blended, like dannysmom said. I would actually consider shelling out the money for this one, to be honest. Love it.

Flowerbomb Extreme 2013 it`s just the loveliest scent ever. An absolute winner!!!! Sugary tea, bergamot and lovely floral notes followed by patchouli and musk.... mmmmm,,, absolutely adorable, sexy and sensual!!!! I will cherish this for as long as possible 💗 untill every last drop. It's discontinued.... soooo sad 😥

A shame that this has been discontinued, without a doubt the best version of Flowerbomb. However, for all those that enjoy this one as much as myself I highly recommend Vanilla Freesia Lychee by Korres, which is surprisingly similar to FB Extreme at just a fraction of the price.

Delicious sweetness! It is just as divine as the original. Seductive, sensual, comforting, magical... good words doesn't want to end. Just perfect. Orchid, vanilla and patchouli are nicely mixed together in this sweet dreamy scent. Simply stunning!

oh my god. must be the best perfume EVEEEEER. the smell- oh my god. theres nothing like flowerbomb and its flankers! its fun to see that so many have pushed the button "love" on this:D i am one of them!
