Perfume Parlour Explosive Flower For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Explosive Flower For Women opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Pink Pepper, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Olive, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Amber, Oud, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Perfume Parlour's Explosive Flower For Women carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A budget take on Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb Rose Explosion. The big spicy-rose heart of Turkish and Moroccan rose over warm amber, vanilla and oud captures the original's lush oriental-rose burst; this dupe flattens some of the rose absolutes' honeyed depth and gives up some of the original's heavy projection.

About

Explosive Flower chases Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb Rose Explosion, the richer, oriental Middle-East version of the cult Flowerbomb. It opens with a fresh, spicy lift - pink pepper and saffron over mandarin and bergamot - before the heart that gives it its name: a stunning burst of rose, the honeyed Turkish and woody Moroccan rose absolutes braided with jasmine and a faint green olive nuance. The drydown is warm and sensual - earthy patchouli, sweet vanilla, soft amber and a thread of oud that adds depth without going harsh. Where the original is a powerhouse (above-average projection, a luscious rose still going twelve hours later), this dupe keeps the spicy-rose-oud story but reads flatter and less honeyed through the rose, projects more modestly and fades sooner. It remains a rich, sensual oriental-rose - bold, romantic and a touch spicy - that suits cooler months and dressier occasions, an affordable budget stand-in for the Viktor & Rolf.
