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.
