The review

Bloom Blast scores 5.8 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Flowerbomb.

Scentual Obsessions lists 10 of the 12 notes in Flowerbomb's pyramid — tea, bergamot, osmanthus, jasmine and freesia and more. What it does not list: orange blossom and caramel; and it adds african orange flower of its own.

At $117 per 100ml it costs 36% less than Flowerbomb — the 21st 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.

What it's built to smell like

Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb is tea, bergamot and osmanthus at first, jasmine, orange blossom and freesia at its heart and patchouli, musk and vanilla at the end. Scentual Obsessions set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

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.
