Flowerbomb Nectar

Well, I made a huge mistake. I was shopping at the tax-free store in the airport and they were already selling this fragrance (80 sth euros for 50ml) and I didn't buy it (they don't sell it in my country yet). I tried it on paper and I was really pleasantly surprised of how much I liked it. Then I tried it on my skin. And wow, I put it on like 11:30 am and it was still on my skin when I went to bed at 1 am. The lasting power is a-mazing!! The original Flowerbomb barely stays 2 hours on me. The sillage is moderate to heavy I would say. I think this scent is meant to be worn during the spring/fall and I would say that it's too modest and pretty to be a nighttime scent. But if you're into that, then you might really like this as a going-out scent. For me it didn't smell cheap - I don't quite get why some have said that this floral combination smells cheap. I would actually have to say the opposite. The more time passed, the more beautiful this scent got - it's like when the flower petals slowly open up and you can truly see the anthers. The name Nectar, in my opinion, is very accurate for the way this scent progresses. On my skin, it turned into a soft-soft cashmere type of scent (and by soft I don't mean the sillage). It's like a super comfortable couch that you slowly just sink into. Florals are the stars of the show for the first 2-3 hours and then it slowly progresses to benzoin dominated vanilla with a tiny amount of patchouli. On me, the vanilla was more like a great companion of the benzoin and flowers, than the star of the show. I'd highly recommend you to try this if the original Flowerbomb doesn't wow you and the BonBon is too sweet. I hope it launches in my country soon, so I could buy it and wear it more because I kept smelling my hand during the day and thinking about how insanely good I was smelling.

Rumored to be discontinued, this is undoubtedly one of the best, dare I say the best, flankers of the original Flowerbomb EDP. I first smelled this fragrance from a decant during the pandemic, and it kickstarted my entire fragrance journey. After falling down a rabbit hole of long-form YouTube videos and perfume blogs, I stumbled upon this masterpiece, and I haven't looked back since. Viktor & Rolf’s Flowerbomb Nectar is far from your typical sweet, white-floral scent. It opens with a remarkably rich, jammy nectar that is thick and syrupy, reminiscent of honey or maple. On the top, this intense sweetness is contrasted by a unique gunpowder accord, which lends the fragrance a metallic, smoky, and almost iodine-like edge. There is also a distinct cassis note that pulls fruity and ever-so-slightly green on my skin. In the heart, the blend of orange blossom and jasmine heavily reminds me of modern favorites like Prada Paradoxe Intense and Initio Addictive Vibration. This is beautifully complemented by osmanthus, which adds a subtle hint of fruitiness to that classic white floral profile. As it dries down, the base reveals a deeply satisfying amber accord made of vanilla, benzoin, and underlying woods. Paired with tonka bean, the fragrance becomes gourmand, powdery, and woody. A dose of patchouli grounds the sweetness, adding an earthy, aromatic, and slightly camphoraceous depth. If you are expecting the airy florals and tea-like nuances of the original Flowerbomb EDP, you won't find them here. Instead, Flowerbomb Nectar is its intense, syrupy, gourmand, in-your-face sister. I am hoping to source a full bottle soon before they disappear completely, but my mini will have to suffice for now. haha! That's all for today! On to the next fragrance review. Xo's, Cara

the most gorgeous scent i own. i fell in love upon first spray. i really cannot describe this well. if i had to... granulated sugar, warmth, creme, cuddles, watery sweet fruits, bubbly, hugs. i feel like i do not need to buy or am interested in any other scents at the moment. that’s how much i fell in love. i get the “gunpowder” note, it smells like sweet smoke. it’s pleasant, dissipates quickly. i also get patchouli but it’s so well blended i don't mind. i usually don’t like patchouli notes. this is not a dirty patchouli. it really is adding depth to this fragrance. without the patchouli it would be more generic. smells “intimate” as in i want my boyfriend and close friends to think of me when they smell this. besides that it turns sparkly, feminine, cozy, warm. the fruitiness is definitely from the bergamot and there’s creaminess from the vanilla. i cannot detect anything else listed besides that. it just smells GOOD. i imagine myself laying with my cat on the couch with some good coffee, a book or movie, a fluffy blanket and time alone on a cold morning while wearing this. it definitely is a scent you could wear any time, but the type of happiness i get from this fragrance reminds me of times like that. my boyfriend sniffed this in store with me and nectar was the only scent he was keen on. i ended up purchasing it online at a discount because it was sold out in store. flowerbomb nectar is not particularly groundbreaking but it’s one of those scents that makes me want to eat myself + boosts mood/confidence. it’s so gorgeous, sweet, uplifting, and elegant. 6 hours of wear, soft sillage but noticeable enough to be detected when walking past someone quickly.

I want to start off by mentioning that I’m not typically really drawn to florals too often, but the Flowerbomb fragrances (Flowerbomb, Ruby Orchid, Nectar, and Midnight) are all exceptions! While they all have the Flowerbomb DNA, to me Nectar is the one that’s the most different than the original! I do struggle sometimes with fragrances that have a patchouli note in them, but I think it’s been done right in these and I find it to be least noticeable in Nectar! Flowerbomb Nectar is sweet, flirty, playful, and happy! It’s got this really lovely sweet candy like smell without coming off as a body mist or something for a teenager! Sort of like subtle smoky/spicy, floral, cotton candy scent! It’s absolutely delicious and so very beautiful! Its sweet and syrupy candy like scent just makes me smile! The performance is excellent! The longevity is fantastic, I can still smell it on me the next morning! The projection is really great too... it radiates out a few feet from me. I also don’t need very much to get this effect, so I think that makes this a good value for the price! For reference, some of my other favorite florals besides the Flowerbomb ones include: Coach Love (2012 version), Coach Poppy Blossom, Coach Poppy Wild Flower, Chloe Love Story, and Chloe. I don’t know if these are exactly considered strictly florals, but also Dolce & Gabbana The One and Sol de Janeiro 59. If anyone has any they’re looking to part with, please contact me because I’m looking to get another bottle.

I ordered a mini of this to try before I saw patchouli on the notes list. Much to my relief, I don't pick up any patch here, and finally found a Flowerbomb that I can wear 😊. I always love the FB note lists so I get a sample and cross my fingers 🤞, but every time that moldy musty patchouli pulls a Miley and comes in like wrecking ball. 😖 It's listed last here, but that usually doesn't matter. Lucky for me maybe somebody was looking the other way at the perfume plant and it got left out of the formula. This is a thick fruity floral perfect for spring and early fall. Oddly, I don't get the gunpowder ppl rave about 😕. I'm disappointed because it sounds interesting, but also a little relieved because I love this scent as it is and might not like it with a trace of plot & treason. 🤷 Sillage is impressive, I definitely wouldn't overspray. Longevity is a solid 8 hours in cooler spring temperatures, softening and becoming less sugary as it dries down. Sweet but not at all gourmand, I really appreciate this as something grown women can wear. It can be hard to find a sweeter scent that isn't young and girly. The sweetness here is more ripe fruit than sticky candy, perfectly respectable for 40s on up. I've got light, airy freshies for spring, but wanted something a little more full bodied for certain occasions. With no soapy or citrus notes, a spicy edge, and that beautiful soft sweetness, I think this is the one. Scuze me while I go order a full bottle. 🥰

Testing this as a decant splash. I sadly don’t pick up on the gunpowder note in the opening, most likely because I’m not spraying it. I pick up more of the florals immediately — sweet and slightly fruity, but balanced by a soft amber undertone. The white florals here don’t come across sharp or overpowering like they sometimes do on my skin; they’re smooth, blended, and surprisingly gentle. The osmanthus stands out the most, bringing a soft apricot brightness that makes the scent feel luminous and flirty. It’s delicate and syrupy without ever becoming too much. Vanilla and patchouli anchor it quietly in the background, and even though I usually prefer my vanillas stronger, I don’t mind its subtlety here. The harmony of this perfume is lovely and gives off fun, slightly sparkling vibes. Side note: In the dry-down, it becomes softly reminiscent of Olympéa by Paco Rabanne, so if you enjoy Flowerbomb Nectar, you may love that one as well. Comparing with the original, both fragrances share the same recognizable DNA, but their moods differ. Flowerbomb feels timeless, cozy, and romantic — a soft vanilla floral that melts beautifully into the skin. Flowerbomb Nectar is brighter, fruitier, and more flirty, with the apricot-like osmanthus giving it a fun twist. I enjoy both, but I do prefer the original, it’s more grounded and comforting on me. Nectar feels like the special-occasion sister, while the original is the one I’d reach for most days.

Extreme pleasure. Very similar to Flowerbomb, but more... nectar. It is very sweet, dense and hard to describe. The flowers are blended into a new quality, the gunpowder note prevents them from being too much from up close. But it is barely detectable. Clever design. I've just bought it today instead of a backup of my half empty 50ml of the pillar and in 90ml because I love the smell and the bottle amuses me. I've wanted it for a long time already and just noticed a nice offer. It does not have the licorice-like candy effect of the Flowerbomb and it reads more floral on me. Very vanilla, jasmine, osmanthus and orange blossom, all candied and fun. This is a very joyous and flirty scent. A floral lollipop. Out of the Flowerbomb franchise I only don't care about Midnight and Bloom. This one is pretty special. NOw I wish the year would have 5 times as many days for me to wear my fav scents for many days in a row. It takes me 6 years of near constant wear to empty in 3/4 a 100ml bottle. Just when will I empty this I don't know. But the scent is worth buying a big bottle. I love the way it smells on me. Makes me as carefree as during university. The magical touch of my favourite noses Dominique Ropion and Oliver Polge is evident in the quality of Flowerbomb Nectar. I still feel it clearly in the morning in a lovely, subtle way. Like a reminiscence of a sweet dream. I love the scent!

I adore it. I wish it was even stronger. That said I'm trying it in late winter early spring. When it's sunny and hot out I know I'll have a sillage bomb. It might even be close to my top three fragrances. Might even be my favorite. I smell a strong vanilla, star anise background. The opening is phenomenal. It smells really clean and really sweet at the same time. But it's warm....like sunshine melting the cold spring days away into summer. It smells like the start of summer. Very floral. I can smell the rich perfume of flowers, and the gun powder accord is in just the opening for me and it's spicy... it smells like lighting a match. Then of course you take the lit match and go light a nag champa incense stick and then the rest of the fragrance follows. Yes...it is like a peach syrup on buttery pancakes. Also it's a rhododendron grove. And a bit of a rootbeer float. And fresh strawberries. So yeah....eating pancakes in a flower garden in full blossom, drinking root beer, eating strawberries....so sugar sugar sugar and more sugar. With a bit of incense curling through the air. Lovely. It's sparkling and effervescent. It's a fizzy, bubbly smell. Hehehe I just remembered " Don't Mess with the Zohan". Fizzaybooblay! It truly is meant for summer. I like it in the winter but it's true beauty I think will be made clear when it gets warmer out.

I'll join the rest of the reviewers in saying that this is the best Flowerbomb. Point blank period. As I've written more and more fragrance reviews, I feel like I've improved with my words and descriptions, but every time I try to describe this one, I don't even know where to start. Still, I’ll try my best. The dewy sweetness of the bergamot, paired with lush cassis, truly brings its name, Nectar, to life from the very first spray. It’s syrupy, sweet, full-bodied, intoxicating. But of course, this has more to it than just being a sweet scent. As it settles on my skin, the gunpowder note comes through. It's not overpowering, it's subtle, sitting just beneath the cassis. It literally smells like a gun just went off. It’s like they tried to bottle the phrase “smoke show”, and they succeeded. I genuinely feel like one when I wear this. It’s so sexy. The rest of the dry down stays true to its sweetness. Orange blossom begins to shine, joined by warm vanilla and tonka bean. Think super syrupy orange blossom (but at this point... are we even surprised?). That nectar-like sweetness from the opening doesn't go away, it only gets stronger as the gunpowder fades. Longevity is amazing; I can still smell her on me after a night out. Same with the sillage. This is a compliment getter.

Nectar is a must have for all the flowerbomb lovers. For all the gourmand lovers and all the women that like to smell rich and classy and sexy !!! So this is basically a more deep, sweet ,sexier Flowerbomb. Instead of calling it intense they called it Nectar. Rumor has it that the purple intense version may get discontinued in place of the new Nectar .It is a great name as it is the flowers nectar instead of the flower, honeyed up , sexed up , spiced up and much sweeter as original Flowerbomb. Nectar is the gourmand edible twist to the original .The patchouli is still massive , which I love! Gunpowder I cannot smell , I am familiar with real gunpowder growing up in a hunters family and I cannot relate it here. I smell zero sulfurous notes. I do smell the cassis , the vanilla and the patchouli! It’s a stunner ! Watch out ! WARNING ⚠️ bees ( and men ) will attack you , maybe BEST worn on a night out or in the cooler months. Growing on me so much it moved to the top shelve ,lots of compliments from my husband and family. I like it quite a bit better than the original. Along with prada femme , my favourite right now.

I tried this on at Sephora last night, and it was a very intriguing experience. On paper, it smelled very similar to the original Flowerbomb, but without the strong rose notes that made me feel like a grandmother when I wore it. So, I put one spray on my wrist and dabbed it onto the other one. Upon first spraying it, I absolutely HATED it. I'm not sure what a gunpowder note is supposed to smell like, but with my skin chemistry it smelled almost sour at first, like rotten fruit juice. I tried to scrub it off to no avail. After letting it settle for a few minutes, though, the scent I had enjoyed on the paper came out even stronger than before. The juicy florals, vanilla, and tonka are accented perfectly with a slight spiciness, like a very fragrant yet creamy chai latte. It followed me around in a small cloud all night, and I couldn't help but stop to sniff my wrists again every so often. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who likes warm and spicy florals looking for a fall/winter signature scent. Just make sure you wait a few minutes before you step outside wearing it!

I can't believe I still haven't written a review for the first perfume I ever fell in love with. I remember exploring the perfume section at Sephora around the time it came out. I tried this on and was enamored with how different it started smelling on my skin. Almost like syrupy, smoky, sweet cotton candy. I loved the uniqueness of the gunpowder note. If memory serves me, I received Nectar as a birthday gift that year! It was the first perfume I ever owned (I mostly collected body mists beforehand). My collection's a lot bigger now. Took her off the shelf recently to remind myself of the vibe. WOW. Goddamn, I'm in love all over again. Warm and sweet with a sexy edge. This perfume is straight up magical. You will feel smokin' hot in this (she ain't grenade shaped for nothin'). Nectar will stay with me forever. Maybe one day I will go for that 3oz! Also, one reviewer mentioned this reminds them of the Twilight bath bomb from Lush; as someone who smelled that recently, yes, I can confirm it totally does!

Very patchouli heavy— should’ve been called Flowerbomb Intense. Flowerbomb Ruby Orchid is far better, midnight too. I’ll have to play around with this in different temperatures and seasons but right now the patch is too much for me and it isn’t as sweet n juicy as ruby orchid is. I’m not a fan of Og FB and this smells just like Og just way more intense. It’s like a mix of OG Flowerbomb and Bombshell Passion- and layering them smells really amazing too- I actually am starting to love it 😍. There’s something addictive about it. It’s that gunpowder note. At first it’s somewhat of a strange scent but then it’s oddly addictive and smells sooooo good! I keep reapplying cuz the first initial blast is so sweet and gun powdery and is nectar like— it fades though to just being patch heavy and not as great as the beginning. And that’s where BP comes in to feed it that extra lusciousness I crave that fades from the initial blast into the dry down.

Dripping spring honey! A blind buy. Definitely takes time to get used to this gunpowder note. Honestly there’s too much fuss about this note (it smells minty and a little bit medicinal), it’s almost off putting but it becomes tolerable with time. First impression was a disappointment (way to expensive..) and the gunpowder note was a struggle but with time I find myself always reaching to it! Smells like honey (og, from the bee farm not the straight sugar in store honey) specifically, spring honey - the one that has floral scents to it (more aromatic than the summer’s one, and a little less sweet). This is literally it. Wayyyy better than the OG FB, which is boring compared to this. Not that sickeningly sweet (scandal by JPG is way sweeter) and to be honest not really loud. Actually it has moderate projection and longevity (sadly..). People that like sweet scents don’t be scared with comments bellow, it’s srsly addictive syrupy sweet.

When I first smelled Nectar, I was drawn in and had to have it. That is the effect this perfume gives. Sexy syrupy sweetness with orange blossom to make it fresh and gunpowder to make it stand out. It smells like sweet vanilla floral orange with a kick. The orange fades out in the dry down and the floral is pretty light throughout on my skin. But enough that you get the feminine charm that only a good floral note can give. This has become a top 5 for me and my favorite going out perfume. Hands down. It’s noticeable and the projection?! Can hang with the best of them. I always smell it on the dresses I wear days later when doing laundry. She is that girl. A bit much for daytime unless I’m doing something and once again, want people to smell me. I don’t wear to work but on a special day I could see it. I like the original flowerbomb, she’s cute. But she doesn’t excite me like the Nectar version. A staple for a good “night out” perfume.

This perfume is absolutely gorgeous and it last forever on clothing with beast mode projection. I did one spray on my wrist when testing this out when I bought this a few months ago, then I put on my coat a few mins later to head out. The scent from this perfume stayed on my coat for 3 days just from that one spray! It is incredibly sweet so don't wear this if you have a headache or feeling a bit sick. I do not detect gunpowder as a standalone note, but I could also tell it's there probably because I know it's part of the fragrance. This would be perfect for date nights in pretty much any season (including summer), just as long as it's a bit cool with a nice breeze outside. If you want to wear this in the daytime then I'd limit this to fall, winter, and early-mid spring only. This is one of the few perfumes that I'd buy a backup of, and I don't buy backups often.

I am wearing this today for the first time. To my nose, this is slightly spicy, flowery, and sweet. I pick up a light liquorice undertone, which I like. This is not as strong as per the majority of the reviews here, but then my skin completely eats up perfume. I like wearing it, and I can see myself using it as a day to day fragrance. Very nice overall, but nothing special for me. Update: I am wearing this today for the second time and although I am liking it more and more, I am disliking that the longevity is very poor. A faint skin scent after 2 hours. Doesn't stick to clothes either... Further Update: this has gone from a like to a love and performance seems to have improved. I reach for it often, on its own or layered, it's delicious, and I am already looking at buying my second bottle. The best Flowerbomb for sure 🩷

Ufff I am definitely a fan of the whole Flowerbomb family, Bloom being my favourite in spring and summer, unfortunately discontinued. Today I got Nectar out again on a rainy autumn day...The opening is very special and different to anything you have ever smelled before. The opening with a mixture of gunpowder with bergamot and cassis is intriguing, it's like this spicy, sweet fruity with a fresh citrusy whim in the opening. After it sits in a bit, the orange blossom and jasmine start peaking through and it all blends lovely. The gunpowder remains, but takes a backseat while it develops in this sweet vanilla patchouli but smokey base fragrance. Its beautiful, different, might not be for everybody, but I love the creativity and its def worth having next to the OG and Bloom as they all have their time and place

This is GORGEOUS. I absolutely adore this perfume, from start to finish! I get a lot of orange blossom mixed with the cassis, giving a really syrupy sweet sort of smell. The initial spray is very cotton-candy-ish, and what I’m assuming is the gunpowder pops up suddenly to add a slight smokiness and metallic quality to the smell. Shares a lot of the same DNA as the original Flowerbomb, and smells similar in the initial burst to Ruby Orchid, but this is the sexy older sister. I can definitely understand comparisons to Wanted Girl By Night and I’m very surprised that Flowerbomb Nectar doesn’t share the same rum note as it comes across heavily as it starts to dry. Lasts forever, HEAVY on the sillage and is a very warm, syrupy hug. Absolutely grabbing a full bottle of this one after my decant is used up.

Just got a sample of this and I went to buy it straight away. It’s a beautiful, sweet syrupy scent with the original floral smell underneath. It is less sweet in my skin than in the bottle and on my skin I get a slight fresh-cut grass smell too, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but I haven’t heard anyone else mention if they smell this too. The syrupy smell makes it sexy, definitely a perfume for a night out, though it’s so pretty I’ll probably wear it far more often. I’m interested to see how it is in hot, humid weather but so far I love it. I’ve only been wearing it for an hour, so I couldn’t say how long it lasts. Edit: wore it all day and after 12 hours I could still smell it on my skin. I also noticed the gunpowder which gives it a metallic, slightly spicy smell and makes it unique

My decant is an immediate love. *swoon* There's something licorice-like about the opening that is reminiscent of my absolute favorite, Mon Guerlain Intense, and then a syrupy candy sweetness develops that's similar to what's found in La Belle and several of the VCRS dupes I own. It's ultra feminine and downright dreamy! With that being said, I don't find Flowerbomb Nectar to be nearly as heavy as either La Belle or VCRS, but it's still far sweeter than Mon Guerlain Intense. I think it's safe to say that if you like any of those perfumes, you'll enjoy this a lot as well! :) ** Update 10/24 - I found myself still sniffing the decant even on days I wasn't wearing the perfume. LOL! It's just that good. Ended up ordering a full bottle from Jomashop which came in the mail today. Yay!

Fruitchouli is putting it mildly. I do really like this and not in an every person way. I actually smelled this on a flight attendant when I was traveling and asked her what it was. I quickly went out to buy it! It’s my favorite flanker of V&R Flowerbomb. I don’t hear to much hype on this on Youtube. I don’t get the gunpowder at all only orange blossom, vanilla, patch, and tonka bean. This lasts all day on me and even longer on my clothes. I love the bottle too and the juice after a while gets darker (weird but that attracts me even more to a fragrance) I’m sure it’s the vanilla and tonka together. Sillage is a compliment getter and gently waifs behind you and even better when someone comes in for a hug. Great Valentine or Galentine day scent! 10/10

What? This is a huge WOW! I know ZERO about Viktor & Rolf Perfumes except that I pass them (and quickly sniff) when I infrequently patronize my local ULTA, or Sephora. I've been on the hunt for an affordable, unique, (primarily) white-floral forward fragrance. Someone recommended "Flowerbomb Nectar." Flowerbomb Nectar has immediately shot to my "Top Five Current Most Loved Fragrances." FN is gorgeous and flowery (jasmine, orange blossom) with unique, dry, dusty, powdery notes. The powdery notes are NOT "old-lady make-up in a bag" kinda powdery, though. The powdery notes are luminous, if this makes sense. The drydown is a lovely, dusty, powdery, floral vanilla with a smidge of patchouli. Love, love, love, love, love!

Seeing gunpowder and similarly unique perfume notes intrigue me every time so I had to find and smell this fragrance. It is absolutely stunning and while there is a vanilla floral sweetness this is not a juvenile fragrance. I don’t more than (maybe and not much if), a titch of metallic gunpowder note at the opening so it may be lost on my nose and I’m OK with it. The heart of this fragrance has a bright fizziness but with a fluffiness to it, my favorite part. There is a flirty sexiness drying down, as the sweetness from the vanilla and cassis and sensuous florals settling into the benzoin and patchouli. Love love love this fragrance, best of the Flowerbombs imo!

If you love Flowerbomb, then Nectar is a must-have. It's perfect for gourmand lovers, and for women who want to smell rich, classy, and sexy. Nectar is a deeper, sweeter, and sexier version of Flowerbomb. The patchouli is still prominent, which is great. I don't smell any sulfurous notes, but I do smell cassis, vanilla, and patchouli. It's a stunning fragrance, but beware - it may attract bees (and men)! I recommend wearing it on a night out or in cooler months. I've been getting lots of compliments from my husband and family, and I actually prefer it over the original Flowerbomb. Along with Viva la juisy, it's currently one of my favorites.

Love at first waft. As a Flowerbomb lover and a Viktor & Rolf devotee this hits right to my heart. It’s so true to the OG while still being a dynamic stand alone. Gunpowder on the opening and vanilla on the dry down. I have tried it side by side with the OG and after years of loving the OG, this may have replaced her as my favorite of the flowerbombs. It just adds this amazing level of depth and complexity that I can't get enough of. It is one sweet gal, but the gun powder blast on opening and the vanilla dry down make this beauty a sweetness i want never to end. Great projection and great longevity. Worth every penny! 10/10 Chef's kiss.

I’ve had a little splash bottle of this forever but it always gets overlooked. Finally wearing this today and she is a stunner! I love the OG, it’s probably the perfume bottle I’ve put the biggest dent in, but I can see myself buying a full bottle of this when the other one runs out. The gunpowder note is what attracted me to this, but it’s subtle. It just adds the slightest bit of metallic smokiness. This isn’t a patchouli bomb like the OG (and I love patchouli) but I’m just smitten with this beauty. Perfect amount of fruitiness. Inoffensive, sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Feminine and lovely.

This perfume is a floral gourmand through and through. The floral sweetness is jammy and deep (but not necessarily cloying), like Turkish Delight on your tongue. The gunpowder note doesn't stand out in an obvious way, but seems to influence the depth of this perfume. It has the slightest smokiness to it that is ephemeral and faint. For those who feel like they can very easily detect the gunpowder note - I'm jealous. It blends in too well for my nose. Overall, this is a sophisticated and complex jammy-sweet floral. It's comforting and feminine and I just want to savor the scent all the time.

Absolutely love this perfume! It’s a sexy sweet evening scent. At first spray it really reminded me of Azzaro wanted girl by night, which I love too! But the dry down really reminds me of a Twilight bath bomb from Lush!!! I was having a hard time linking what the scent reminded me of. Flowerbomb Nectar and Lush Twilight Bath Bomb share benzoin and tonka bean. Very cozy dry down smell. A little goes a long way! Don’t need to over spray. It’s very concentrated and I made the mistake of over spraying and giving myself a little headache, oops! Lol worth it though.

I have always loved Flowerbomb, but Nectar is much better. I really can't get enough. This is another scent that I find addictive. You can really smell the tonka, benzoin, patch, vanilla and gunpowder. Now that I know what gunpowder smells like, anyway. lol. The gunpowder is what really made this perfume, in my opinion. It gives Nectar a more mature, sensual feel. It is a warm spicy sweet scent with great longevity and sillage. It has quickly become a fav of mine. Now, let's just hope that they don't discontinue this one like they did with FB Rose Explosion!

I wasn't sure I'd get the gunpowder note, but wow! Yup, there it is. Based on the notes, I fully thought I'd hate this scent, but here I am jumping on the bandwagon. Nectar has the richness that OG Flowerbomb is missing for me, and cuts down on the overpowering patchouli. I'm in awe of how these particular notes all blend together so seamlessly and create something so feminine and sexy. Will definitely be looking to buy a bottle. Update: Picked up a bottle during the Sephora sale. And then I wore it the day I got engaged 🥹 so it's forever my favourite!

As soon as I tested this I needed to buy a bottle. 'Sexy' fragrances can tend to fall into the categories of 80s musky powerhouses or cheap sugary VS scents - neither of which are for me! Because of this, I usually wear Eau Tendre, which is undeniably pretty and feminine, but just a little too well-behaved. This is a beautiful syrupy, fruity gourmand with depth and an edge, and it doesn't smell cheap or one dimensional. It feels like a luxurious, unapologetic expression of femininity - like Elizabeth Hurley's Versace safety-pin dress. So gorgeous.

I love this fragrance, but it smells really different on my skin versus on my clothes. On my skin, it’s warm, addictive, and sweet but not too sweet. On my clothes, it’s far more screechy and has some underlying unpleasantness that I can’t place (almost sour?). Fortunately, it has really good longevity on my skin. And since I prefer this for spring/summer, I can just spray it on before getting dressed, but this is definitely one of the more extreme differences I’ve experienced in a fragrance for skin vs. clothes before.

This fragrance is a journey. My spouse bought this because he wanted something sweet and a bit more cozy than his usual fresh fougere as fall rolls in and we absolutely love it. The opening is a big blast of fruit and the weirdo metallic gunpowder note. The gunpowder and a bit of cassis stick around as it dries down and moves through floral to a slightly spicy patchouli and vanillic base. I personally couldn't wear it because the gunpowder note tickles my nose up close, but it smells absolutely incredible on him!

This pulls together orange blossom, osmanthus, vanilla, and, of all things, “gun powder accord,” which I was surprised to read but understood the more I sniffed, as much as it does hide under the veritable garden on top. the citrus notes don't really register for me; instead I get a kind of honeyish tang from this that's just like ... intoxicating. smells so damn good but it is much heavier than flowerbomb/flowerbomb dew, so while you can wear it in the daytime it's gotta be applied with a light hand.

This is a gorgeous fragrance. It’s rich, sweet, syrupy, cozy and comforting. It’s one of those fragrances when I spray it on my wrist, I can smell it anytime I move my arm throughout the day. There is also a very fresh note in the background that makes this very unique in my collection. I want to layer with a citrusy/green fragrance in the summer to bring it out more. The gunpowder is there, but it’s not overpowering. Just adds a bit of depth. Get it!! You need to try it

Nectar is the perfect name, it’s sweet and sticky syrup. It’s sexy, sensual and warm. I think it’s a great fall/winter scent, but I spray it on at night before bed in the summer because it’s so cozy. I just purchased a full 3oz bottle from V&R because my tiny travel spray from Sephora is almost gone. This projects on me far better than a lot of the perfumes I have in my collection. I wore the OG years ago and while that one is bright, this one is much darker.

Nectar is the perfect name for this variation. It smells sweet and sticky just like nectar or honey. This is pretty as the original Flowerbomb but also adds extra sweetness and has even more of a flirty feel. This one probably has the most fun and youthful energy out of all the Flowerbomb scents. Strong fragrance that does have some lasting power. I’m not sure why but this one does give me a slight headache if I spray too much. Great summer party girl scent.

Pampered Princess! Spoiled rotten and unapologetic! haha I love it. This is my favorite of all of the Flowerbombs. It's very sweet, but seductive. Nectar is right, because it attracts a LOT of men. Many many compliments. I consider this a year round fragrance, however it does thrive more in the fall/spring air. I also would like to note that although it's very sweet, it's not sickly sweet. I spray a lot and no headaches or nausea. That's a huge plus for me.

This is the most unique scent in my personal collection. A greedy invention. A little bit of floral notes, a little bit of gourmand but also sexy smoky and a little bit medicinal. The scent is really hard to describe. Sophisticated, sexy, edgy but also super sweet. I was extremely impressed when I know that it has gunpowder note in it! My friend’s dad described the scent as grilled marshmallow during campfire. It will last an eternity. I love it !

Tiger Lily and Nectar are hands down the best of the flankers. I miss TL as it’s best on me during the hotter months. Nectar is that girl on a cool autumn day, in a frilly dress with a leather jacket and jack boots on the back of a Harley. The Gunpowder had me doubtful, and I had no idea what to expect, but I love it! I haven’t bought the original FB in a few years and don’t miss it. Same with Linterdint, the flankers are just... better.

SHERBERT DIB DAB! I love this it smells similar to the original but this one lasts so much longer compared to the original. I get a sugary sherbet / Fizzy smell like love heart’s or refresher sweets with a hint of liquorice. Like a sherbert dib dab. It’s also like smelling a bag of pick n mix. This projects and lasts extra well and it’s probably the best one to get. This one and the new tiger lily are my favourite from the collection.

I am so in love with Flowerbomb Nectar! I agree with all the comments in the fragrance description and "Pros"... juicy, sweet, deep, sexy, heady, explosive...so much better than the original Flowerbomb! I have trouble describing the scent profile, as this scent brings forth feelings more than notes for me... peachy osmanthus smoldering in vanilla firecracker smoke, with hints of black currant and licorice. Such an alluring scent! 💋

When I first smelled this, I instantly loved it, but it smelled so familiar and I could not put my finger on it. Then it dawned on me when I came to this page and looked through “reminds me of”.....It smells like LDBS without the awful civet note! I wanted to love LDBS but all I would ever smell was civet, and now flowerbomb nectar is the cure! This is a gorgeous, sweet, sticky, sligtly smoky, gourmand. Perfect for fall/winter

I’ve never been a wearer or a fan of Flowerbomb, but this is truly an exceptional fragrance. Yes it is sweet, but totally balanced out by the gunpowder note. It’s honestly genius. It is so gorgeous. It’s hard to even describe. I don’t like overly sweet scents, and this isn’t overly sweet. Flowerbomb nectar is mastery level. It’s addictive. I absolutely love it. It is so different and so good. I ordered a full bottle already.

Sweet, warm, sexy, syrupy berries and vanilla is what I smell. I know berries are not listed in the notes but I smell raspberries mixed in with the vanilla and floral notes. This is my favorite of all of the flowerbomb flankers. 2 sprays will last all day and leave a sweet, syrupy floral trail. I’m not sure what “gunpowder” smells like but I will say it adds something interesting and a little bit spicy to the scent.

Listen *Read* THIS IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! Sexy. Sweet. Syrupy. Vanilla. GOODNESS! It’s definitely giving Turn Off The Lights and Light a Candle! That’s Teddy Pendergrass if You need to Visualize the Mood or Let’s Get It On Marvin Gaye...I mean You should know what I’m getting at here if you’re of a certain age! I purchased it in a Travel Size I’m definitely getting a full size bottle! Amazing Designer Perfume.

I really like this one, I have the Intense version, but there’s no review for it on here. I’m assuming though that it’s just a stronger version of FBN. It has a lovely opening and I really like the gunpowder note. Gives it a little bit of zing. I don’t find it overly sweet or overly strong. I’d wear it anytime. Very good blind buy for me that’s a bit different from the usual offerings of sameness 😍

my favorite designer fragrance for many reasons. it has this sort of bright, sparkling, zinginess (i think from the gunpowder and citrus) that combines into something very special with the extreme sweetness while also keeping it from being too heavy or cloying while still being a syrup-y sugar bomb. my husband also thinks that it is very funny that it is shaped like a grenade lmao

wow this is an absolutely gorgeous fragrance! it dries down this super sweet yet almost smoky cotton candy. it lasts so long and its projection is amazing i always have people complimenting me and asking what im wearing. it’s definitely a more edgy scent with the smokey gunpowder paired with the sweetness of the orange blossom, i personally much prefer this to the OG flowerbomb.
