Some of you may remember my enthusing posts about Marc Jacobs’ new fragrance Honey (here and here). I have worn MJ’s scents (Daisy for daytime and Lola for nighttime) for the last two or three years and felt it was time for a change. Well, dear reader, there is no doubt that Honey is a gorgeous perfume but despite circling around it for weeks and having a cheeky spray every time I ventured into a department store, I never actually bought a bottle.
To me, it is very much a Spring/Summer scent and had it been launched in April or May there is no doubt that I would have snapped it up. But by the time it was released last month, mentally I had already moved on to Fall and wanted a slightly heavier, more sultry fragrance. After much deliberation and sniffing my way around pretty much the entire beauty department I found The One. Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf has been around for a while but for some reason it hadn’t registered on my radar – until now.
With notes of jasmine, orchid, rose, freesia and patchouli it is the perfect scent for Fall and, even better, manages to bridge that tricky divide between day and night by being neither too light nor too overbearing. In the words of Viktor & Rolf themselves: Flowerbomb provides an opportunity to “escape reality and heal the world… It’s about transforming negative into positive”. Sounds like a good motto for Fall/Winter 2013 to me!
I love Flowerbomb, such a beautiful scent!

Isn’t it just? I’ve never really been a ‘signature scent’ person but this may be it! X
Mmm I love this scent.

I don’t know how i could have missed it until now! My birthday is at the beginning of next month so I’m hoping my kids will ‘buy’ it for me but every time I go shopping I have a sneaky spritz! X
This is my favorite perfume of all time! It makes me feel happy, confident and sassy! It’s slighly more expensive than other perfumes, but well worth the cost! I’m sensitive with allergies/asthma, and this perfume doesn’t cause any issues. Love, love, love!
I couldn’t quite justify buying it for myself but am hoping to get it for my birthday next month! X
