Ruby peach
I always loved Flowerbomb, since the first time I smelled it back when it was new. The flankers can be hit or miss, some don't have the charms of the original at all. This one does. In the opening it smells like a mixture between the original and Flowerbomb Nectar. Completely with the signature patchouli, vanilla cookie-ish orchid, candied florals and transparent tea of the OG Flowerbomb and the licorice vibe of FB Nectar.

And then the peach rolls in. It's sooo juicy. Intense, but never dull, like a peach ice tea without the tea or a slightly diluted peach syrup. Maybe it's even closer to a ripe nectarine than a real peach, it misses the fuzzy texture of peach skin and has more of a glossy-smooth feel, if that makes sense to you. It's a bit similar to the fruit notes in the Bonbon line.
The fruitiness only comes out in the heart of the perfume and stays all through the drydown, blended into a milky caramelized vanilla and the sparkling, patchy Flowerbomb DNA. It's wonderfully gourmand.

Some may find this unoriginal, and I don't necessarily disagree, but sometimes it's that simple: I love Flowerbomb, I love peaches and nectarines, therefore I love this peachy Flowerbomb flanker. Do I need it? No, I have Flowerbomb Nectar and I also have Montale's Vanilla Extasy, which basically smells like Flowerbomb with apricots. But if I didn't, I would definitely consider FB Ruby Orchid.

Flowerbomb for sweet lovers
I think people who prefer the original Flowerbomb probably don't like this one, and that is fair. I am the opposite--the original Flowerbomb isn't really my thing. I don't hate it, but it is just kinda bleh on me. This one is a lot sweeter, with some earthy depth that makes it smell like a rich & creamy chocolate covered peach to me. The Flowerbomb essence is there, but it is not as assertive as the OG. I love the bottle as well. To be quite honest, when I first smelled this, I wanted to hate it, but it is my favorite go-to vanillic perfume now.

Oops, did I...
...bought "La Vie Est Belle" again? I thought to myself, slightly shocked, after an admittedly rather spontaneous impulse purchase (it was 50% off, don't judge me...). Must be due to the rather dominant sweetness, which blew me away, especially in the top note.
I also like Lancôme's Crowdpleaser in principle, but I just don't want to wear it anymore because you can smell it everywhere. I was therefore very relieved that this Flowerbomb flanker turned relatively quickly into a pleasantly mild-sweet-vanilla fruit compote and at some point also gave a hint of orchid.
For me, this fragrance is therefore a very pleasant, gourmand everyday scent that doesn't overwhelm and doesn't give me a headache. It doesn't have a monster-like longevity, but that's okay for me because I like to switch to a different fragrance in the evening when in doubt anyway.

Peach & sugar invasion
This bottle had been on my to-try list for a long time. I also hadn't heard of Viktor & Rolf before. Admittedly, I find the prices relatively difficult, which always made me shy away a little. But at some point I dared to test this fragrance & what can I say. I loved it. & still do.

First of all - you have to be aware that you are most likely wearing the typical Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum or Flowerbomb Nectar. Immediately after spraying, this fragrance family is clearly noticeable, but that doesn't bother me as I also like the others. However, anyone who has a problem with this DNA will not be happy here. The very extensive sweetness that we know from Bonbon Eau de Parfum, for example, can also be found here. But as I said, I am very happy about the family reunion.

But now to the notes:
Right at the start, you are presented with a thick cloud of peach & red orchid. Many may describe the peach as very synthetic or even old, but I find it very fruity and soft. The floral notes of the orchid are somewhat reduced in comparison to the peach. This also suits me, as I am definitely less of a floral person.
This is underlined by lots of sugar. Really LOTS of sugar. Once it has had some time, the promised vanilla is added & rounds it off into a creamy dessert.

It is fruity sweet & yet also gourmand. Even though it has this extreme sweetness, I still find it more suitable for spring & summer than for colder days. Unfortunately, it didn't last very long on my skin, which is a real shame & brings me back to the price point. But if it were on offer, I think I would buy it again and again.

Vague florals in sugar water. Where’s that juicy ruby color, the tropical orchid, the PEACH?! Why even create an idea only to… not bother?

Sweet, fruity, young. It smells very pleasant and yummy and stays light despite its sweetness. However, not for me.

Wearing this in 100 fahrenheit/38 Celsius heat. Some gourmands are way too heavy and rich for hot weather IMHO, but this one stays fresh!!

It gets the job done, but I am not impressed. There are numerous vanilla/floral/fruity scents like Flowerbomb Ruby Orchid on the market.

A generic sweet fruity floral fragrance. Very "girly". Nothing special or unique. But still, I found it to be a pleasant scent.
