Scent Journey
The first 30 minutes are a sparkling introduction—a delicate dance of tea and bergamot that lifts the spirit, while osmanthus adds a fruity, apricot-like nuance. The citrus is bright but not sharp, immediately softened by the tea's gentle astringency. This is a prelude, a promise of the floral symphony to come.
As the fragrance settles into its heart, the true explosion occurs. Orchid, jasmine, and rose intertwine in a lush, heady bouquet, while freesia and African orange flower add a luminous, almost ethereal quality. The florals are opulent and creamy, with a slight powdery undertone that lends sophistication. This is the core of Flowerbomb—a rich, intoxicating floral that feels both romantic and daring.
After four hours, the base emerges, grounding the composition in a warm, sensual embrace. Patchouli provides a dark, earthy counterpoint to the florals, while musk adds a skin-hugging intimacy. Vanilla softens the edges, introducing a sweet, almost gourmand creaminess that lingers for hours. The drydown is where Flowerbomb truly shines—it becomes a second skin, a comforting yet alluring scent that leaves a lasting impression.
Performance Dashboard
8-10 hours on skin, often lasting into the next day on clothing. This is a fragrance that refuses to fade quietly.
Strong projection for the first few hours, projecting about an arm's length. It commands attention but never becomes cloying.
Moderate to heavy—it leaves a noticeable trail without being overwhelming. Expect to be remembered long after you've left the room.
