Viktor & Rolf - Flowerbomb

I have wanted Viktor & Rolf's original Flowerbomb perfume for years! For some reason, I can never bring myself to spend money on perfume, and tend to buy makeup or clothes instead. It's silly really, because perfume can be very special. I personally find that perfume, and certain scents in general, evoke memories. Perfume can remind you of a certain place, event, or time in your life where or in which you wore the scent.

So with this in mind, when one of my close friends asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I came up with this:

^ The pretty box!


^ The perfume, shower gel and moisturiser

About four of my close friends clubbed together to get this for my 18th. It was very sweet of them, and I adore the perfume! xx

  1. You're lucky to have got this for a birthday present. It is a beautiful, floral scent. I do know what you mean about spending a lot of money on perfumes, I usually hesitate buying them but end up giving in after a while, haha. xx

  3. I've really wanted this perfume since, ahem, since I found out that Cheryl is a fan. A sad reason for wanting something I know, but I seem to recall being told it had vanillary tones to it? I went to a beauty counter and got told by the snobby sales assistant that only the likes of Harrods stocks Viktor & Rolf...I have never felt like such a prized prat in my life. I have since spotted it in other stores besides big London department stores and want to go and give that sales assistant a good dressing down!

    Rant over, what sort of smell would you say this perfume has?

  4. Just realised that "dressing down" could be misunderstood. I don't wish to take her clothes, more just cut her down to size for making customers feel so ill-informed!

  6. Tabitha Bluebell - And I hate snobby sales assistants! They really get on my nerves. I really believe that the customer is always right, and that you should be treated with respect and good service! Oh, and yes, it has a vanilla note to it! xx
