Flowerbomb Tiger Lily Viktor & Rolf 2024
1
Tropical floral with a touch of warmth
Flowerbomb will always have a place in my heart. It wasn't my first perfume, I'm several years to old for that, but one of the first that really pushed me into perfume as a hobby/special interest. The flankers have been a mixed bag, some good, some boring, some close to the original and some completely unrelated.
Tiger Lily is one of the latter. I don't get any Flowerbomb DNA at all, if it was a flanker to any other mainstream designer scent it would make just as much (or little) sense.
To my nose, this is a sweet, vanillic floral with buttery and honeyed facets. I can't really put my finger on the specific flowers, but they're of the creamy, white variety, and come across quite summery to me. A touch of mango on top makes the whole scent feel tropical.
The coconut is noticeable, too, especially when you know it's supposed to be there, but I get even more of the benzoin. I love this note and often find it buttery or caramel-esque, and I really think it improves this fragrance a lot. I see that this has some votes as similar to Paco Rabanne Fame, and I don't disagree, but where Fame has an overly clean fabric softener kind of musk, Flowerbomb Tiger Lily has this lovely warm benzoin.
I like this, but I also find it a little generic. I prefer Flowerbomb flankers that have more similarities to the original. I gave this a 7.5 because I gave Fame a 7 and like this one better, but it's a generous 7.5.
