Flowerbomb Rose Explosion

I owed a second review to flower bomb rose explosion. I looove it during first hours.to my nose it's rose+flowerbomb gene+a very subtle and nice oud note.it's gorgeous,seductive,voluptuous,luscious.one of the best perfumes I have.it's so sexy and at the same time classy that could be among my top tens.sweet also mature and rich But after 2,3 hours it dries down to a combination of olive,heavy oud and very faint whisper of it's former beauty and to be honest,this olive,oud combo is simply unpleasant.it's heavy,sharp,oily and very bitter and unfortunately it's not a skin scent by then.this bad smell well projects! My skin chemistry often mixes very well with most perfumes,that's why I never have such a concern and I'm always open to blindbuys.in this case I was lucky to find out it's a skin chemistry problem so last night I didn't apply it on my skin at all.just on my clothes and scarf and I had that lovely warm,sweet rose,sugared saffron tea,subtle oud combo for longer time I'm glad that I can use and enjoy my rose explosion and however I prefer applying my perfumes on skin,I can get along with using this one just on clothes.longevity and sillage are amazing and it can make a great winter night perfume I wish they produce another flanker,without that horrible olive note(I even hate eating Olive)maybe with more vanilla and a dash of benzoin,like flowerbomb extreme to ground sharpnesses of flowerbomb gene.wish they made flankers like this one and extreme instead of dozens of summary flowerbombs,I'd also love to see a flowerbomb poudre ;) Edit: Oh no.I can't use this on my clothes either! It's drydown doesn't occur on clothes as soon as on skin,but it's finally there and I can't get rid of it until I change and wash my clothes Unfortunately I can't get along with this one and I'm very sad It looks great near original flowerbomb and extreme on my vanity.I want it's bottle but I can't tolerate wasting 100mil of a perfume I highly recommend you not to decide on it without waiting for it's drydown.It's easy to love in it's first and even second hour of application but after that,it's specifically for oud lovers

Sadly a limited addition so get it while it's there And no , it's unrelated to the original, completely unrelated. Just when you think you are bored of flowerbomb this one comes along in my local Hudson Bay. All I have to say is ! AMAZING ! A head turner , an explosion of class and individuality ! ,,, for people that don't know niche , this is out of the world. The girls in the mall are going bonkers over this, saying they have never smelled anything like this in their entire life , it's pure class, expensive , like gold from a bottle , like aged wine ,,,, Well , myself being very familiar with niche , and with oud for that matter , and the whole safron combo,,, I wasn't THAT shocked as the so called "mainstream crowed " ,,,, but let me tell you ,,,, after years of wearing niche and owning an abundance of perfumes and different kinds of rose ouds , Kilian, Armani , rose attar , you name it ,,,,this , rose explosion , still makes me think..". wow ! " My family and loves it , my kids complimented me and a stranger in the store stopped me ,,,,, it's indeed special , unique and a true BOMB !!!! Does it relate to flowerbomb ? Well not really, if at all , none or a few same notes are present here , It's an entirely different perfume in my opinion , it's very oudy and rosy with a lot of safron !!In fact only patchouli and rose is what the regular Flowerbomb and this one share and that as we know is pretty much nothing as lots of perfumes have those two notes in common !! Again this has no Relation to Flowerbomb as far as smell goes. So you may love one and not the other. Anyways , this now , being so damn special makes me want the whole line again. Exquisite stuff !!!! Truly !!!! Update , Every time I wear this my husband comments on it how great I smell !

I'm a flowerbomb lover,a rose lover and an oud hater.but recently I'm starting to like oud in sweet perfumes.after trying and loving lancome oud bouquet(a gourmand rosey oud)I started to dream about flower bomb rose explosion it was risky but this makes it even more interesting so I did this blindbuy Unlike other reviewers I find it similar to original flowerbomb.it's opening and middle notes has a prominent flowerbomb gene(which is just like a cup of sugared tea for me)but there's a rose note blended with it..so it's just a rosey flowerbomb during first hour.there's just a hint of very subtle oud which balances sweetness and makes it more mature and darker but after couple of hours,it dries down to something very different.not that much flowerbombish and veryyy oudy I looove it in it's opening and middle notes but I can't like it's drydown.it's all about oud and just a hint of rosey flowerbomb,not sweet or pleasant anymore.drydown smells so bad on me that I can't believe it's all about oud.there's something oily,animalic and simply horrible(maybe olive!?) It's my first try and I hope this horrible smell is here because of my nose's tiredness or maybe there was other perfum on my skin,I still have high hopes because it's adorable during first hour.it can be one of my top favorites if it doesn't change.a great fall,winter scent and It's looong lasting with great sillage Gonna try it again and I wish that horrible smell doesn't come back

I was surprised when I came across this jaw dropping juice. I must admit that it took me awhile to except that this fragrance was categorized as a women's fragrance. Why should any fragrance be categorized, they should be gender free. Yes, most sweet/vanilla/floral scent are best suited for most women. Most common notes found in mens colognes...a woodsy/spicy/ smokey incense with evergreen notes. I know of many woman who enjoy wearing men's colognes...it appeals to them. I find this juice appealing and amazing. There's a soft/sweet rose blend with barely a hint of oud giving it a perfect balance. Amber with vanilla slowly comes together adding to the rich creamy undertone of the rose and oud. There's a smig of patchouli completing this sexy juice. I don't know if it's my nose meter but I don't pick up any saffron. I find longevity and Silage excellent. Finally, I was really taken by this fragrance that I don't care what anyone thinks. I really enjoy the subtle differences between the different notes as they interact with my body chemistry. It's not too girly girly....10/10

I had this perfume several years ago and missed it dearly after finishing it. So much so that I never forgot about it. I've discovered that Soprano by Sospiro/Xerjoff is similar, but not as strong or long lasting as Rose Explosion. Also, the rose in Soprano doesn't have the bite this one has. So I gave up hope until a few days ago, when I found Rose on a site in my country. It was a tester bottle and the last one they had, so I pounced on it... and I'm so happy right now, for this is sinfully good... A real treasure and, depending on taste, it's better than the OG Flowerbomb. You really must love rose to enjoy this one, for it's quite strong! The rose here has a honeyed, leathery, spicy quality that I find enthralling. Its airy, almost aldehydic aspect is balanced by the vanilla-patchouli mix, giving it a chocolatey vibe. This, IMO, is one of the best Oriental roses I've come across so far. A masterpiece. I wish V&R would bring it back...

I went to my local high-end department store to exchange a Mark Jacobs Daisy Honey gift set someone re-gifted me this X-Mas (turns out it was from 2013!). Anyways, I had decided to buy Replica Garden Walk, I was in a real rose mood. My saleslady informed me there would be a GWP on Friday, so I was going to buy it then. The saleslady gave me a sample of Rose Explosion, so I wasn't leaving empty handed. Just for fun, I sprayed a bit on after my evening shower, and loved it! I had tried Flowerbomb and didn't really like it. But Rose Explosion was AMAZING! Rosy, but dries down to a floral, warm, sensual, sexy smell. It was still on my skin the next morning, and smelled even prettier! I find the Tom Ford and Armani Prive perfumes smell better after a few hours on the skin. I turned down the Replica fragrance (that only lasted a couple hours) and got this instead. I can't stop smelling myself!!!Try this even if you don't like Flowerbomb.

Rose Explosion is beautiful and so dynamic. Normally I'm very picky about rose fragrances because I find a lot of them dry down to a basic soap smell on my skin which I hate because I find that boring. This however is sooo good. The first time I sprayed this on my skin, I went a bit weak in the knees. The oud, saffron and vanilla tantalised and tempted my senses. I bit my bottom lip in anticipation of the Rose note and when it arrived, I was far from disappointed. I let out a little squeal and told the sales girl that I'd take a bottle and that was that. I love to wear this at night, I wore this to a Moroccan restaurant recently and I felt instantly transported. The scent of my fragrance with the scent of the food and the luxurious fabrics that dressed the room provided the best kind of sensory experience. On my skin this is loud, forthcoming and very very happy to be noticed. Definitely not a fragrance for wallflowers.

One word, INTOXICATING!! My HOLY GRAIL, the scent I am known for. An absolute masterpiece with projection that is seriously out of this world. I have smelled nothing I like better in my entire life. This is masterfully blended, a fragrance that I MUST have!!! FBRE is definitely a Unisex fragrance which some say leans more feminine. I disagree. I think this can comfortably be worn by either sex. The Flowerbomb DNA is present in the drydown yet this is Deep, incensy, dark and mysterious. Thick rose (but not sweet), light oud, heavy patchouli, sprinkles of saffron. She projects, she leaves a trail and she stays when you go. This is a huge compliment getter. Sadly, I mistakenly left a 100ml in my car in the summer and it literally disappeared. Discovering the empty bottle that was sprayed 5 times at most was easily one of the saddest moments of my life.

I was so excited to try this and I have been waiting for so long for it to finally arrive in Australia. I saw it today in Myer and excitedly sprayed myself 4-5 times. The sales assistant exclaimed that it smells just the same as the original - oh boy is she wrong! Firstly I have to say - this is STRONG! I was initially hit with a blast of oud and spice and I wasn't sure I was going to like it. Then, after a couple of minutes, the divine aroma of rose & turkish delight began to come through. It's been about 6 hours now since I sprayed and it is still very potent. I am continuously getting delicious wafts of warm vanilla and turkish delight. The sillage is huge and it has lasted really well on my skin. I did walk away without buying, as I wanted to see how it settled on my skin. I can safely say I will be buying this oriental floral delight for sure!

This is a rose bush that blooms at night, a rose with more thorns than leaves. It's been watered with espresso and blackberry brandy, fertilized with spices and tears, and blooms with large, blousy, deep dark wine coloured blossoms. Ombré petals so dark they fade to black. This rose was grown in a walled garden ... Walled for your protection, not that of the rose. Despite all that it's surprisingly sweet and charming. To my completely untrained nose this smells like nothing I've ever encountered before, it's mysterious and rich, deep and sweet, strong and delicate. It's complex. A new rose. Good sillage and great longevity. Spray with caution, this perfume is so rich it left an oily patch on my hand that stayed for 10 minutes until I finally massaged it in. Amazing.

Dear God....this stuff is fan yourself swoon worthy!!! I am a rose oud fanatic. Well, a rose anyway they come fanatic, but this stuff sends me over the moon. I'm not even a Flowerbomb person! But this effects my brain like some sort of crack. I think I even look all wild eyed when I have it on. I can't stop sniffing myself when I wear it and want to go around fanning myself toward everyone going "yeah, right, I know it's awesome isn't it??!" Like a crazy person. I have been buying samples but finally broke down and bought a FB even though I already have enough rose and rose/ouds to fill an Olympic size swimming pool. I don't care, I admit I am an addict and this is one crack vial I could not live without. Dayum! Smells so freaking good!!! Mercy!!

Oh my Lord is this DIVINE! This above any other fragrance on the market! It starts off slightly with that drop dead gorgeous rose scent! But its mixed with the classic Flowerbomb scent. It is not a cold fresh but a spicy rose fresh that again envelopes in the classical victor and Rolf scent. This reminds me of a uptown girl and her mister Bigg on the town! Then slightly the oriental oud keeps warming up on the skin making it more smoldering! This could be worn during the day just with a VERY light hand! For me this is my signature scent now and forever. I gave away my Chanel's! This is perfection pure for me. Thanks for the great views. Blind buy turned me into a huge fan of this!!!

I treated myself to this over Christmas, despite the astronomical price! I have to say that it isn't at all like the original Flowerbomb but it is absolutely divine. I definitely get the Turkish delight aroma in this on first spray but then it settles into a beautiful long lasting rose scent. I think it will be very popular - not so candy sweet as the original, more grown up and a definite treat for the nose! I keep telling myself to only use it sparingly because of the price ... but nevertheless keep spraying it on me even when I am alone in the house, simply because it smells so gorgeous, I can't resist it!

Flowerbomb RE is stunning. The Flowerbomb DNA is lingering but this is its own scent. I recently acquired both Rose Explosion and Lancome Oud Bouquet and I think they are quite similar in that they are both beautiful rose and oud sweet scents. They aren't identical, but they are similar. Rose Explosion has equal parts rose and equal parts oud that are sweetened but not in a cloying way. It is a slight sweetness but makes a major contribution to the WOW factor in the scent. Sillage and longevity are phenomenal and RE is a scent that will get you noticed. RE is certainly a signature worthy scent.

I adore this. I wasn't a huge fan of the original, nice, but not for me. Rose Explosion is a beautiful explosion of roses and oud, and it is such a deep romantic and sexy fragrance. The sillage is incredible and it lasts for aaaages. I will often spray cards when I am out and place the cards in my lingere drawer where they eventually fade. My V&R Rose Explosion is still as strong as ever, scenting my knickers after a week in the drawer. The only thing turning me off is the price... it is a pricey investment, but it is incredible quality and sadly - a limited edition.

I LOVE THIS. The top notes carry the Flowerbomb DNA which is a bummer to me bc to my nose it smells like bug spray. But if you can get past that it smells like a beautiful, powdery rose oud. Sexy and deep. Strong, you don’t need a ton of sprays. If this weren’t out of production I’d buy a backup bottle. Ended up getting Xerjoff Soprano as a backup so I could have a similar scent but save the juice. The rose is more complex in this one than in Soprano. If you come across someone selling theirs or decanting, definitely consider dropping the cash if you like rose ouds.

This is beautiful. I really don't know what adjectives to use for this but I have fell in love once again with a Flowerbomb flanker and this one is for keeps. Rich rose, delicious spicy after tones, and after 12 hours it still is giving off a luscious rose. I am investing in a bottle, this is the rose I'd been looking for since Rose Absolue was discontinued, and they are nothing alike except they are orgasmic for my nose and senses. Bravo Viktor & Rolf, you have a fan for life.

Flowerbomb Rose Explosion is like a lighter and sweeter version of Tresor by Lancome. The rose notes are really light but that gives all the originality of the perfume, the rose is wonderfully mixed with the citrus and vanilla notes. A kind of blend of Tresor and the original Flowerbomb. It is extremly long-lasting, more than 12 hours, and everybody around you can smell it. Flowerbomb Rose Explosion is Flowerbomb's best version, even better than the original fragrance.

In 3 words: Loud, Elegant, Sexy. I first sampled this because I love the original Flowerbomb and at first found it shocking. Bold roses with an opulent oud presence. I didn't know what to think; two hours later I was addicted. It wore down to a warm and sensual (still intense) scent - I had to have it! Best suited for: Warm summer evenings on a city rooftop lounge (ensuring you will be noticed).

Absolutely GORGEOUS! It's the best Flowerbomb by a longshot. The original is nice, but this elevates it in every way. It does remind me of Xerjoff's Soprano, but I actually think this one is better despite the price difference. Certainly lasts longer! This lasts about 8 hours on me, which is more than enough. I think it works well in all seasons and weathers too!
