Viktor & Rolf‘s Flowerbomb was my signature scent for years. Every time I wore it, I got compliments. Seriously, every. Single. Time.
BONBON is still floral like Flowerbomb but a fruity floral which happens to be my favorite scent combo. Mandarin, Orange Blossom, and Peach fuse together with soft caramel. Cedarwoods blend into the base note to achieve a surprising balance between smooth, creamy, milky sandalwood notes and the stronger, and darker notes of woody amber. The rich brown facets of the caramel accord are tenderly overcooked.
BONBON evokes a timeless sensation, inviting a pure and absolute pursuit of pleasure. She who wears BONBON dresses herself in perfume while creating her own story. She is empowered, beautiful, and complete.
The bow bottle is an iconic design symbol in the house’s rich heritage and embodies the essence of the couture spirit. The one-of-a-kind BONBON bow bottle proves that the impossible is possible. Its design was handcrafted with precision and craftsmanship, much like the detail involved in the creation of a couture garment which Viktor & Rolf became famous for.
If you don’t like sweet scents, you’ll want to skip BONBON. However, if you enjoy sweet but not cloying fragrances with a warm base BONBON is perfect for you. Although it’s a sweet scent, it isn’t teenager-y–it’s polished and sophisticated.
One thing BONBON does have in common with Flowerbomb, is the great sillage. BONBON lasts all day without fading away–my biggest complaint about designer fragrances.
Bottom Line: Viktor & Rolf’s BONBON Eau de Parfum is a sweet, sexy and sophisticated scent that will make you unforgettable!
