The review
Worth a try. That is where Bonbon lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Bonbon.
The Essence Vault sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Bonbon's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $32 per 100ml it costs 72% less than Bonbon — the cheapest of 7 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 The Essence Vault 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: peach, mandarin orange and orange up top, caramel, jasmine and orange blossom in the middle, amber, cedar and guaiac wood underneath — the shape of Viktor&Rolf Bonbon.
Top
- peach
- mandarin orange
- orange
Heart
- caramel
- jasmine
- orange blossom
Base
- amber
- cedar
- guaiac wood
Thick caramel and peach over warm woods, sweet enough to eat.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
