Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb Rose Explosion is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Flowerbomb Rose Explosion opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Pink Pepper, and Saffron, and settles into a heart of Olive, Rose, and Jasmine. Viktor&Rolf's Flowerbomb Rose Explosion carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it. Bold, bombastic, and definitely not for the faint of heart. If you're into a seriously spiced-up rose-oud, it’s a masterpiece. Otherwise, you might just find it overwhelmingly loud and a bit too much.

About

Rose Explosion kicks off with a vibrant burst of saffron and a zesty mix of bergamot, mandarin, and a hint of pink pepper. This quickly deepens into an intoxicating heart of rich, heady rose and jasmine, given an unexpected savoury twist by olive. The base settles into a dark, luxurious blend of warm oud, earthy patchouli, and creamy vanilla, smoothed out by amber, making for a potent and opulent oriental floral.
