Preemptive Expresso Recommended
Flowerbomb LA VIE EN ROSE 2011 is a super-sweet patchouli floriental in the same general olfactory neighborhood as ORIENS--except a lot sweeter! Although I thought that this composition was going to have more of a detectable rose note, in fact the flowers are pretty much drowned out by the sugarbomb which this flanker, like its namesake, is. For dessert lovers only! Anyone planning to wear this composition should first make sure that espresso and ice water are standing by, ready to imbibe!
I should perhaps add that this limited edition composition smells so similar to my memory of FLOWERBOMB that I suspect that there may have been a decanting error. Then again, perhaps sugar crystals are blocking my rose receptors. Hmmm... I'll have to try a side-by-side with fresh samples at some point in the future, once my blood glocose level has moderated somewhat.
