Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb Bonbon

Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb Bonbon is sold out right now; the last price was ৳341 for 1.5 ml. Join the restock list on this page. We do not sell full bottles; a decant lets you wear it for weeks before buying one.

It is unapologetically sweet, a caramelized-peach gourmand rather than a sophisticated floral, so it fits casual days and dates more than the office. If you want grown-up restraint this is not it. But it is balanced well enough, with amber, sandalwood and a touch of dry cedar under the caramel, that it reads as a proper fragrance rather than a body spray, which is what keeps it wearable past your teens.

Less than the name implies. The original Flowerbomb is a floral: bergamot and tea into jasmine, freesia and orchid over centifolia rose and patchouli, with its sweetness coming from the flowers rather than from sugar. Bonbon keeps only the orange blossom and jasmine thread and builds a caramelised peach gourmand around it, closing on amber, sandalwood and guaiac wood. If patchouli-backed florals are why you liked Flowerbomb, Bonbon will read as a different fragrance wearing the family name.

No. Viktor&Rolf have discontinued the original Bonbon Eau de Parfum , and the house now points buyers toward the Bonbon Collection flankers, Berry Jelly, Caramel Crunch and Cola Fizz, in its place. Those are sweeter and more literal takes on the caramel idea rather than the same fragrance in a new bottle. Remaining stock of this composition is therefore finite, which is worth knowing before you choose between a decant and a full bottle.
