Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The syrupy florals and dense vanilla-amber base shine in cooler weather, projecting beautifully in fall and winter. Spring evenings suit its sweetness, but the intensity may be cloying for summer heat.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Intense, sweet and smoky, Flowerbomb Nectar is a statement scent ideal for evenings, dates, and special events. It's too bold for office or sport, but works for elevated casual or formal occasions.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Flowerbomb Nectar Eau de Parfum explodes with a unique gunpowder note, opening metallic and smoky before melting into a syrupy heart of orange blossom, jasmine sambac, and osmanthus. The base is rich and enveloping, layering creamy vanilla and benzoin with a hint of patchouli, creating a sweet, ambery warmth. Intense, decadent, and lingering, it is a statement floral with a gourmand edge and a smoldering, mysterious trail.
