  • The vanilla in this perfume is one of the richest I’ve ever heard🥰; it smells like Yakult, I don’t know why that impression hits me, haha. You can really smell the vanilla and patchouli; it’s delicious, I love it, and I find it ultra-long-lasting (+10h🩷).

  • The accords didn’t catch my attention at first, but I tried it, and it’s one of the most sensual, sophisticated, and delicious scents I’ve ever smelled. It has an enjoyable sweetness but is also floral. To me, it’s timeless and should be a classic in perfumery.

  • I had the chance to test it today, and its opening reminded me of LVEB, however, it’s much more tolerable and delicate, with less intense patchouli. A very beautiful and feminine perfume.

    I’m saying goodbye to this fragrance that accompanied me for so long; it enchanted everyone. I’ll take a step further, diving into more elaborate and original perfumes, but I can’t let go of the first scent that fell in love with me. Forever, Flowerbomb!

  • I’d never seen this fragrance until I searched for patchouli and found a 2023 review. I used JPG Madame 10 years ago (now discontinued and heavy on patchouli). Here, the FB is hard to find, available only in one store, so it was exclusive. I smelled it, loved it, and it lasted over a week, making the whole room smell like it. I also tried the new Good Fortune Elixir Intense by Viktor&Rolf; it’s sweeter until my brother said it smelled like an older woman, and I started seeing it that way too. Like many perfumes, it lasts longer on paper, so I doubted the FB OG on my skin, but I bought it anyway. As they say, it depends on your personality and pH. I’m not a floral fan, but some flowers smell different. On my skin, it lasts 24 hours and even smells after I shower, which is magical. There’s olfactory fatigue, so sometimes I don’t perceive it, but others do, though I do feel it. I use it for special occasions so I don’t get tired of it, mixing it with other soft daytime scents. I do sense the freshness of the tea and bergamot, the olive very subtly, and the orange blossom. They don’t mention petunias, but the official website does, and I sense them just like the orchid, which stand out the most. Then the patchouli lingers, along with the musk and vanilla always. I only need one spray; my whole house smells strong with that. After a few hours, I smell many flowers but can’t distinguish them well. A guy smelled it on me the first time and gave me many compliments. Even though they say it’s common, I hadn’t heard anyone else wear it, and I live in a big city. I think it varies from person to person, and even if they say it lacks original notes, it has its charm. I feel it fresh and sensual. I’d heard so many things and wanted to buy something different, but at perfumeries, everything smells like soap or syrup. It has a sweet spectrum but doesn’t cloy me, though tastes vary, and some people don’t get any longevity at all.

  • One of the few that I found horrible and had to give away. I don’t know which note gives me headaches and dizziness. Perfumes are subjective; it’s surely divine on another skin. I wouldn’t use it; it’s like all the flowers together with a dump truck of vanilla on top. Not for me.

  • It barely lasts on me; it turns soft and disappears by the hour, though others might experience it differently. It’s a sweet, feminine scent—tasty if you love desserts and florals. I’ve noticed it lasts longer and stronger on others, and pH seems to play a role, which is why it fades so quickly on me.

  • I bought it blind based on reviews, but on my skin, I only smell bitter tea—it’s terrible on me. Blind buying isn’t for everyone; I’ll be gifting it.

  • Before trying it, I leaned more toward fresh and citrusy perfumes like Dolce&Gabbana’s Light Blue or Versace’s Bright Crystal; I didn’t wear vanilla scents and didn’t like ‘Gourmand’ perfumes. A salesperson offered it to me, I tested it on my skin, and at first, it didn’t convince me much, but for some reason, I bought it. The next day I wore it to work and then used it for an entire week, putting my citrus scents aside; I didn’t want to wear anything else, and it earned me countless compliments. As for longevity, I applied it in the morning, and when I returned home in the afternoon, the scent was still there, about 8 hours. The sillage I perceived on myself was moderate to heavy; sometimes people asked if I was wearing Lancôme’s La Vie Est Belle, but it was this beauty that conquered me. It wasn’t an immediate love at first sniff, but it happened; in fact, this perfume marked a before and after because starting from its use, I began to delve into the world of ‘Gourmand’ perfumes. Tomorrow, God willing, I’ll pick up another bottle of this fragrance. To finish, I don’t know why it’s called ‘Flowerbomb’ because I don’t perceive it as a floral bomb; I think it should be called ‘Caramelbomb’. As we say in my country, this is a ‘perfume trunk’, highly recommended.

  • I’ll never understand the hype for this perfume; it just seems sweet with no real change or evolution in its scent. It’s quite basic and could easily be replaced by many others. That said, saying it’s similar to La Vie Est Belle is sacrilege for Lancôme, because it could never match it in anything: not longevity, not sillage, not even the scent.

  • verdepensativo

    It’s sweet but takes a very different line from La Vie Est Belle; while the latter is more caramel, Flowerbomb leans more toward a macaron. Both are sweet, but this one has much lower longevity than expected. It’s gorgeous, refined, elegant, and has great body; it could be the signature scent of a classy lady.

  • It’s beautiful, very feminine, a sensual and lovely scent for spring. Its longevity and projection are good, and it’s not overwhelming.

  • This is a love for me. The opening is very similar to VEB, but then it takes its own path. It’s so feminine, elegant, and sophisticated… I love it.

  • Kimmbaekkie

    Another perfume that holds a special place in my heart. When I was little, I had an ‘aunt’ who seemed super cool: beautiful, elegant, dressed well, and lived surrounded by luxury. She always smelled like expensive perfume and cigarettes, and I wanted to be like her when I grew up (though I now know cigarettes are bad 🤣). One day she visited my mom, arrived as imposing as always, surrounded by a delicious, feminine scent. Even though I knew nothing about perfumes as a child, I asked her what she used so I could smell like that when I grew up. She pulled a small Flowerbomb bottle out of her bag and showed it to me; I fell in love. Years later, as an adult, I got my own bottle. It’s bottled femininity, super elegant. The years pass, and this perfume never goes out of style. A masterpiece of perfumery. For me, it has nothing to do with LVEB; that other perfume is a disaster.

  • PerfumateJulia

    Well, if you want to smell like a floral explosion with vanilla underneath, it’s not my passion, but my partner liked it and I had a sample for a few days. I didn’t buy it and won’t; there are more wearable perfumes out there, and for my taste, less intense ones.

  • Gatitomalbado

    Calling this ‘Flowerbomb’ is disrespectful because the flowers are completely absent. It never appealed to me, especially with so many clones that I never liked. I was given a sample and, since it was spring, decided to try it. What a mistake I made. There’s a tiny citrus note at first that smells like alcohol, just for fifteen or twenty seconds. I guess it’s supposed to be tea or bergamot, but since I drink green, white, or black tea, I can assure you this doesn’t smell like tea. After those few seconds, it jumps straight to sweet notes that remind me of a macaron. There’s no jasmine, rose, freesia, orange blossom, or osmanthus. Just hyper-sugared vanilla with a touch of floral air freshener. It’s not loud, but it lacks elegance and class. It just evokes a dessert, which isn’t bad, but it is generic. I don’t get how it’s still on the market since 2005 when other beauties like Shalimar Parfum Initial failed to pull that off. Presentation: 4/10 (the bottle looks ugly and boring). Longevity: 3/10 (lasts about three to four hours on skin). Sillage: 3/10 (stays right on the skin; I can’t even smell it on myself). Originality: 2/10 (there are hundreds or thousands of shameless copies). Versatility: 5/10 (I wouldn’t wear it, but it’s wearable). Season: Autumn and mild winters. Personal taste: 1/10. Would I buy it again?: No.

  • Tatianavargasg

    I absolutely love this scent; it’s one of my favorites. The longevity isn’t long, but it’s totally worth it.

  • soledadbt

    Flowerbomb and its derivatives are too simple, sweet, and floral. I’d wear it at 15, but at 20 or older, it has zero charm. There’s way too much hype for what it actually is, and in the end, it’s not worth it.

  • I tried it today at the perfume store, and tomorrow I’m going to get the one from a…

  • I expected something super girly with high expectations, but it smells loud and like an fennel infusion (no, I didn’t confuse it with Good Fortune, that one smells much better). It also smells like anise, like Anís del Mono. And a nasty patchouli, the trendy kind like in LVEB. I don’t know what it has to do with flowers to carry that name. On top of that, it doesn’t last long (thank God I sprayed it on my skin by mistake).

  • It starts with a potent, pungive olive note; the opening is loud and green, then dries down to patchouly and powdery with quite a bit of tea in the dry-down. Even though they shouldn’t match, it reminds me of a cheaper, airier version of La Vie Est Belle, though they are different. Be careful, they aren’t the same but share that patchouli that makes them similar. It’s a patchouly flower bomb with tea.

  • My honest opinion: I don’t get the hype; it smells like flowers from a cemetery and gave me a headache. Plus, it upset my stomach and feels like a very stately fragrance. Bottom line, don’t buy it blind.

  • This perfume is like walking into a florist shop, opening the door, and smelling freshly cut flowers. Not one specific flower, but all of them at once. It makes you feel fresh and clean. More than one person has asked me what I’m wearing.

  • More than a bomb of flowers, it’s a bomb of resins, oils, and essences. It’s thick and very aromatic; I see it as a mature, warm, and spicy perfume, definitely for cold weather. It’s not unpleasant and very well crafted, but it has nothing to do with flowers.

  • Mlo Estrada

    What a divine, feminine scent… perfect for those days when I dress in white with pale pink accents, I need to smell like this… roses, flowers, roses, flowers!

  • I own it in my collection, but it’s not one of my favorites. It smells a lot like La Vie Est Belle, just less potent and with more patchouli. It’s elegant, sweet, and super floral as the name suggests. After that initial floral impression, there are powdery and delicate notes, but without losing its punch. Too bad that strong patchouli gives me a headache for the first hour, so I don’t wear it.

  • We all have different skin pH levels, which is why some people say they don’t want this fragrance, which is a marvel. It smells delicious; when I apply it, I feel happy, wealthy, secure, and full of self-love. I love it, and it’s my favorite.

  • KatMartell

    The opening is a potent, sweet patchouli, like Lolita Lempicka. My expectations were for a floral bombshell like Chanel, but that’s not what it is. It was a blind buy, and I have no regrets. After a while, the flowers timidly emerge, along with osmanthus and vanilla, creating a somewhat ‘whimsical’ aura that gives it a mysterious, slightly witchy vibe.

  • miosvemaca

    It doesn’t seem anything special to me; I felt it was quite generic. I didn’t smell any patchouli on my skin at all, what a pity.

  • I received my Flowerbomb today, and honestly, I expected it to be more floral. If it’s true that it’s very similar to Jimmy Choo, as one comment said, it’s quite generic. I thought I’d find a floral bombshell. It’s not a bad perfume, but it’s just Meh. I’ll wait a few months and see if it improves. For now, I only like it, but it doesn’t make me fall in love.

  • WhiteFlorals

    I bought this blindly based on the reviews and the hype on social media. I didn’t like it. It’s extremely sweet, and I don’t smell any flowers, just vanilla and sugar to my nose. Youthful. Medium longevity. Overhyped in my opinion.

  • I finally tried it in-store today at the sales associate’s insistence. Ugh, and I didn’t like it! I hate patchouli; I smelled it strong right after applying it, and then it reminded me of artificial cherry/almond cough syrup. Since she sprayed it on my skin, I’ve been smelling it every few minutes. Now, three hours later, it’s improved (sweet, delicate, feminine, and youthful), but it still has a slight bubblegum taste, specifically Hubba Bubba Bubble Tape (pink), so it’s good if you like that scent. I definitely wouldn’t buy it (I asked my sister, and she made the same face I did in the store. Neither of us liked it), and I wouldn’t wear it even if it were a gift. It’s not for me, maybe for bubblegum lovers. Edit: My dad gave it a sniff and said, ‘That’s what I’d put on my mom,’ so I feel it’s youthful because of the bubblegum touch, but my dad thinks it would suit a seventy-year-old woman better.

  • I never liked floral scents, or at least I thought I didn’t until I tried this at thirty. I fell in love just by spraying it. Yes, it’s overwhelmingly sweet, but every time I wear it, I get a thousand compliments and I just love smelling it; I never get tired of it. Clearly, it’s not for everyone, but if you know how to appreciate it, you’ll be dazzled.

  • I like it, but it has a sweet touch (maybe vanilla) that isn’t my style. Otherwise, it’s a floral bombshell, just like the name says. It’s elegant, feminine, and complex. A total perfume bomb.

  • I ordered this blindly at an official perfumery and can’t even say if I like it because I can’t smell it at all. It makes no sense; I’m furious.
