The review
Strong contender. That is where Exploding Blossom lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Flowerbomb.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Flowerbomb's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $83 per 100ml it costs 55% less than Flowerbomb — the 18th cheapest of 22 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: tea, bergamot and osmanthus up top, jasmine, orange blossom and freesia in the middle, patchouli, musk and vanilla underneath — the shape of Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb.
Top
- tea
- bergamot
- osmanthus
Heart
- jasmine
- orange blossom
- freesia
Base
- patchouli
- musk
- vanilla
An avalanche of jasmine and caramel over patchouli, huge and utterly addictive.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
