I saw this in a Victor & Rolf store when my husband and I got lost wandering the streets of Venice. Maybe it was the moment, the romantic sunset, maybe it was just Venice, but this perfume was like a magnet. I walked by the pretty glass "grenade" bottle and was completely intoxicated. It just evokes sensuality and femininity. Notes that took my breath away: bergamot, beautiful oriental-florals, vanilla, tea, patchouli...and something sweet I couldn't put my finger on. This isn't a "wear me to work" scent. Flowerbomb should be reserved for romantic dinners, first dates, and of course, honeymoons in Venice :)
For comparison, others I own and adore: Prada Tendre, Serge Lutens "Rahat Loukoum", Dior "Miss Dior Cherie", Ginestet "Botrytis", and Pilar & Lucy`s "Exact Friction of the Stars"...if any of these appeal to you also and you love sweet, sexy, spicy -this is a must! Please also do yourself the favor of splurging on the ridiculously expensive ($58.00 ?) body lotion if Flowerbomb is your weapon of choice. I have never received more compliments in my life on any perfume as I have wearing this-it's simply perfect.
