Flowerbomb (Intense)
The Essence Vault Flowerbomb (Intense) is an Eau de Parfum. The fragrance opens with Bergamot, Tea, and Osmanthus, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Orchid, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Musk, and Vanilla.
The Essence Vault's interpretation of Viktor&Rolf's Flowerbomb (2005) at intense concentration - the same rose-jasmine-patchouli signature but pushed harder for projection and longevity. Honest dupe-fidelity for evening wear in cooler weather.

About
Inspired by Flowerbomb (Intense) is The Essence Vault's budget reading of Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb, the 2005 rose-jasmine-patchouli oriental-floral, here in an intense format with deeper patchouli and vanilla. EV's pyramid mirrors the original community pyramid closely: a bergamot-tea-osmanthus opening, a centifolia-rose-led heart with jasmine sambac, orchid and freesia, and a base built on patchouli, musk and vanilla. The first hour is the strongest match: bergamot and tea lift the opening with osmanthus adding apricot-floral warmth; the rose-patchouli is pushed forward in intense format. By the heart centifolia rose dominates with jasmine sambac providing white-floral depth - the intense format deepens the heart, and the dry-down trades heavily on patchouli for the dark-sweet anchor with musk and vanilla giving the powdery close. Performance is the budget compromise: eight-plus hours of strong sillage - the intense format trades for projection over the regular Flowerbomb. The character is bold-sweet-feminine, with autumn through winter the strongest seasons and date, evening and night-out the natural settings, with autumn through winter the strongest seasons and date, evening and night-out the natural settings. The honest caveat: at fifty millilitres for twenty-five pounds rose-patchouli depth and the smooth jasmine-musk polish are softened compared to the original Flowerbomb Intense. For wearers curious about the higher-concentration evolution of Flowerbomb before committing to a one-hundred-pound bottle, this is a faithful enough sketch. Sits next to other budget rose-patchouli intense feminine dupes in the dupe-house neighbourhood, while the original sits with Mugler Angel, YSL Black Opium, and Lancome La Vie Est Belle in the intense sweet-floral feminine conversation.
