Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Rose Explosion

Viktor & Rolf have launched Flowerbomb Rose Explosion, a new flanker to 2005's Flowerbomb.

Viktor & Rolf offers a new, sensual version of its iconic fragrance with Flowerbomb Rose Explosion eau de parfum. Flowerbomb Rose Explosion combines the voluptuous richness of rose with the intensity of oud and saffron.

Additional notes include mandarin, bergamot, pink pepper, olive, jasmine, amber, vanilla and patchouli.

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Rose Explosion can be found now at Selfridges in the UK, in 100 ml Eau de Parfum, £130.

    Seeing a gold bottle these days should be an outright hint for Oud. Funny how I didn’t make that connection and still clicked with full curiosity :P But worth a sniff I think.
    My guess is a more oriental, non-sweetish frag like their Intense version..

      It’s true! I think this one started as a Middle East exclusive.

      I would think so, but hey, who knows — you’re right that we’re no longer anybody’s primary market.

    Ok! I won’t have a breakdown just yet. It is at Selfridges. Maybe it’ll come to department stores here :)

      I would really think it would end up at Saks, at least, eventually. We’ll see.

    I don’t like the name, not very creative imo. Rose Explosion? Olive gets my interest a bit.

    Wasn’t one of the extreme versions of Flowerbomb in a gold bottle?
