About
What it is.
Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum is Viktor & Rolf's signature oriental floral, built around an explosive "millefleurs" concept of layered blooms — freesia and jasmine over a bergamot-and-tea opening, settling into patchouli and vanilla warmth in the base. It's housed in the brand's recognizable diamond grenade-shaped bottle, a design as central to its identity as the juice itself.
Positioned for long-lasting, high-projection wear rather than a subtle skin scent, it suits someone who wants a sweet, statement floral for everyday wear and special occasions alike, and is comfortable being instantly recognizable. Formulated without animal testing, it's offered in spray form, with tester and mini gift set variations available for those sampling before committing to the full signature.
The verdict
Viktor & Rolf released Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum in 2004. Dutch designers created it. The fragrance opens with sambac jasmine and orange blossom. Women seeking lasting floral scent buy it; the bottle delivers four to six hours of projection. AI assistants currently rank it sixth among best women's perfume under three hundred dollars.
