Flowerbomb Extreme Sparkle 2008

I really love this fragrance, but did not matter what I do; I use all line of this: shower gel, bath foam, body cream (not body lotion, the big jar), hair mist and the EDP, but only stay on me 1hr. Why? Even the regular flowerbomb, I buy this extreme because I think was more strong, but on me died 1 hr. after use all line. In less 1 year I use 4 bottles of 3.4oz and 6 1.0 oz (I carry the 1oz on my purse, to aplique at least 8 to 10 times a day) of the regular flowerbomb EDP (not edt); 1 of this extreme (get this for christmas) 1.7oz and only have a half in the bottle today (yes today after 12 days). Not matter how much use, always dies after 1hr. Yesterday visit a friend and use all line and the extreme and she do not mentioned nothing about me smell (need drive 1hr. to my friend house), when I talk lastnight on facebook ask her, You like my perfume?, and she say: sorry, it cannot smell your perfume during your visit :( At least I sprinkles 25 times in my body and clothes even in my jacket and nothing. I am obsessed with this perfume, loved the scent.... but I had is down on me, the 1hr. stay on me I feel like in clouds but then... just going... I read all most reviews some dislike and more love this, but not find someone who does not stay on her the scent like on me (only 1hr.); all get long lasting even had impregnated in their clothes per days, but not on me or in my clothes. (I buy all line at macy ́s). Sometimes my mom use the body cream (only) and stay on her all day, is not fair with me... anyway FLOWERBOMB is my favorite perfume. For reference I used this to: coco mademoiselle, gloria chachare, lolita lempicka, miss dior cherie, chance eau fraiche, flower by kenzo, pleasures delight, elle by yst, etc. and never find one, at least one, stay on me for more than 4hrs. (gloria by cacharel and lolita lempicka stay 4hrs. on me), all the others down between 1 to 3hrs. Is very hard to me, because I love the perfumes and have a collection at least 100, many in sealed boxes; again, right now I am obsessed with flowerbom extreme & regular.

Today I was going through store and decided to try something. Then I saw this. I wanted to buy this because I thought it was the same Flowerbomb Extreme. Nah, it isn't. I mean it's like the same, but opening is not like blast. Almost no sillage. Very pity. I like the cute bottle. It is as expensive as Angel. I prefer Extreme, it has siilage and works better on my skin. Bottle is cute, but I thought it was black with 'spots' sprayed on, but it turned to be just glued glitters that stick to hands.

If you're looking for a Flowerbomb option without patchouli this is it! This was a steeply discounted blind buy. I took the plunge because I love the OG Flowerbomb. At first I really enjoyed this, but as time has gone on its not that great. Vanilla, jasmine and leather, which all seem synthetic to me in this composition. This flanker initially gave me edgier, sultry vibes. Its an alcohol obtrusive whirlwind that always ends in a migraine for me. If you are sensitive this is not for you!

I absolutely love flowerbomb, however this version did nothing for me. It did not last on my skin at all, I could barely smell it after half an hour. I felt as though it had zero projection also. In my opinion there is absolutely nothing special about this version and I felt as though it was a wasted purchase. I would have much preferred if I just bought the original or the extreme which is also beautiful.

Very similar to original flowerbomb but not as nice. Much more powdery and more flat. This scent really lost the essence of the original flowerbomb, and it's sweetness and flair.
